Tony Grands - AntonioGranderas

What It Sound Like?

It's refreshing to see the multi operators at work. Sometimes it takes a famous person to point out what your friend has been doing for years. The crowd gets easily surprised by actions that the insiders see as mandatory. Tonight's subject  wears his many hats with style. 

The ever creative, Tony Grands released a slick one for the game. He felt it was time to hit you with a three piece. The good music is automatic, also great for marketing. Mr Granderas pours his thoughts into melodic tracks by vet producer, Stash Jonez.

This approach is undeniably due for respect. The artist covers grounds in this mini. The first joint, Shake My Hand expresses authenticity. He is a real man and he only wants to deal real individuals. We gotta wiggle around the phonies with hidden intentions. Yell &amp& Scream is more of the day to day peers receive personally. Through rough times we gotta appreciate what we have. The line holding my gun while I'm holding my Bible has layers of meaning.

The third joint  is another relative topic to me. When I was a teenager, I had friend that used the say the dudes that know everybody get killed. So when the hook plays alerted me immediately by
Get Killed. Sadly, the past few decades have played out that saying repeatedly. Grands refers to someone famous as the topic of the short lived. The project has novel-like writing. I suggest the readers add it to your catalog. Thank you for staying up with me. Jah bless!




                                                                                                                                                                         

Live Rap By 1 Shot Spitune

Madness - Miskeen Haleem x Whiskeyman

What It Sound Like?

By now, I you been going outside every chance you get. The celebs ability to entertain us has been minimized. If you go through your apps, the underground has taking over on that end Let me make my contribution.

Since I tapped in with this emcee a couple years ago, his name remained constant. Miskeen Haleem is a rap scholar. Readers know know I like to write about artists with their own sound. He bridges his authenticity with key pusher across the pond, Whiskeyman. This is my kind of beat. 

This is lyrics on a high, tolerable level. The gutter upbringing is still felt, though his content ain't about killing or narcotics. Vocab and punchlines are the roads less traveled. Everything stands out and it seems effortless.

A true Hip Hop refreshment all of us can use. I like the originality. Though, there's no hook, it still has song impact. "Like the Riddler I leave the crime scenes puzzled." Oh there's more! 

I wanted to get to this for a while. Skeen did a whole project, SchoolOf Thought with Whiskeyman. Some of you have heard it, already. Whether you did or not, it's full of replay value. Put some more dollars in their accounts, get your copy at Bandcamp. Thanks for staying up with me. 1 Love!

Killy Shoot - The Line (Prod. Chuck Chan)

What It Sound Like?

I know it didn't take long for us to be back to the blog from the main site. There was an error that reoccurred. Grateful to still have this page, though. Good music waits for no one, A lot of it has been coming out. 

Here's an artist that incorporates film in his presentation. Killy Shoot has the mind for what action scenes to build his video around. With such graphic detail in rhyme, it feels like watching the cinematic.  He displays over the capturing sounds from Chuck Chan. Feeling the effects of
Home Team.

This is an artist that applies the same energy from being outside to this rap hustle. I was locked in from the moment Killy pens the scene with the blue Patrick Ewings. Get chills when he narrates. The topic of the streets is common, However Shoot has his own way of delivering the message.

I never get tired of observing the growth of emcees. I've been listening for years, now. Hard to believe time has gone o fast. Ill Kill has graced so many playlists and media outlets ever since. Look, Paka is feeling the vibes, too. I recommend grabbing this heater. Get yours at Bandcamp. Follow his socials if you haven't already. Thanks for staying up with me. Praises to the Almighty!

Kane & Lynch - K.Burns x Mak P

What It Sound Like?

It's crunch time, my people. Tomorrow is a special day for a special event. I won't be in NYC, though I would like to. Anybody in the area will surely want to witness, in person. Live at Shirley's Lounge, the Kane & Lynch release party kicks off. 

K.Burns and Mak P present the year ending album themed by dynamic duos. Some fully seasoned producers waved their paint brushes in this piece of art. I chopped it up with Uncle Burnie, powerful convos btw. He told me, on each title the rappers take on roles of the names provided. I'll give away the first one, the rest you're gonna have to figure out by ear. In Automatic or Revolver, Mak plays the rapid fire, Burns is the more reserved ratchet holding the shells. This Eddie Word track lets the world know, their aiming for the head.

Next, we get to the first single released. Ecto puts his touch to Kahwi & PG. This is the multi-faceted music and business franchise. Staking claim as the unstoppable force, not leaving out the supporting cast. Tapping in one of the most monumental movies to shine light on what molded urban NYC. Wolfe & Sonny relives Sonny Carson, a presonal one for me. Don Carrera lays the spooky background. Burns makes the right reference, "My life is a movie." The team is living proof.

The ratchet is passed to Mak over the Damn!Dave piece during Pistolero's. That get to the bag music. The joint to put on repeat when you taking them trips. Magik & Bird reminds the listener of the friendly competition between these emcees. Actually, they're reminding one another on this Slumcheevers beat. This tune also welcomes opposers to step up. 

The Standouts open with the keys for Spyke N Hype. This is the fraud decoder, our boys don't relate to the pretenders. The reality of tough talkers never seem to match when they're around Mak & Burns. That soulful vibe is in effect as you listen to Sub Zero vs Scorpion. They trade picture painting  bars over a track from The Prxspect. This one is a jewel dropper, stay alert.

Our last song seems like a cliffhanger to me. The energy gets more aggressive, makes you want it to keep going. StainlessART brings the suspenseful sound, goes along with its theatrical theme, 

Dog Days

 "I don't need a map to go farther than other artists." - Mak P

Yea, and lines like that one. 

Eight reasons for to go the show tomorrow night. These two are original, they compliment the syles of each other. While managing to never step on each other's toes. Oh yea, TeaM Fame will be in the arena It's a full guest list. This album is now streaming, so get your copy. 

Game Winner - ThatBlessedGirl X King Coldpack

What It Sound Like?

I still got connections with some of the most talented, rising producers. I've gotten another request from one the other day. In this male dominant realm, it's cool to hear from the ladies. Especially when they've got skill as such.

That Blessed Girl has been on a spree. One of the bangers she lately released is with King Coldpack. Heavy bars over heavy metal is what I hear. That's one of the things I like most about this emcee. He never spits watered down rhymes. He always keeps that edge. Hence the line, 

"Put the blade to your throat like Shinobi."

It's been a minute since I covered something from these two. So, I'm glad I got hit with a strong follow up. A nice break from the soft tone beats. A lot of tracks are subtle, neglecting drums. I respect diversity, some tunes sound good like that. The game got caught up in that trend for a long time. So, I appreciate when someone brings sounds of power during this era. 

I enjoy seeing people working together from all across the map. The segregation can get ridiculous, taking away from great potential. This combination worked out well. There's some real slick lines on this joint, impressive. You should pop out to Bandcamp and get this one. 

Primo JAB & MindFrame - Literature

What It Sound Like?

Approaching the new year, I hear people say 2020 is there's. Big things are going to happen for them. In some way, they mention how their sights are set on the arrival. I want to remind you, this year is not over. Big things can still happen for you in 2019.

Our producer homie, MindFrame got plenty accomplished within 12 months. He's tapped in with a wide range of artists. Tonight, Primo Jab reappears with with some education. This Atlanta, GA emcee takes the narrow path. The lyrical route, ignoring the typical sound currently promoted from his land. What better track to used than this authentic Boom Bap.

Here's a student of the game. Someone with true Hip Hop ingredients. He longs for the day when rappers took lead, not following corny trends. Primo has an aggressive flow, taking success not asking. I like how he put the listeners up on the false promises from the enemy. 

I'm usually ready to ride with artists raging against the machine. This scenario is no different. PJ also brings a spiritual presence in his delivery. After hearing this, you're gonna want to hear the album, Killdozer. Available on all major platforms, including Bandcamp, get your copy. Before I close, I want to send some comforting words to MindFrame. Readers pray for him and his family. His father recently passed away. I know that's nothing easy to get over. Stay strong, brother. Peace to everybody staying patient with me. Blessings from the Almighty!
