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! 

No Matter What my hiphop story - Glue Hefner

What It Sound Like?

Last time out, I told you about a few artists I had on the way.  I don't want to delay any longer. Let's resume where we left off.  Sometimes we make plans with the best intention, that outcome is not guaranteed. Tonight's subject is the prime expression. 

Glue Hefner sent me a survival pack, as I headed to a crossroad. I feel this will support our readers, as it did for me. The artist says so much needed to be said in this state of Hip Hop. He delivered it in a far, creative fashion. Fully produced by I Am Will, formerly known as M-Print. Total sound of soul flow from track to track. Starting with Strangers featuring Thnk Void. So in the pocket, he sounded like a sample from a classic. Beginning story of love with a woman called music. Going through titles and musicians that ignited his quest for the art.

All the comfort and comradery during early years of listening to Hip Hop pours through,
Best Friend. Countless hours invested, developing personality. This approach reminds me of
I Used To Love Her by Common. We get to listen to an expanded version. At this point, we join the duo appearance on songstress, KK Love. She presents that smooth, R&B touch.

Details become a little more juicy in First Time.
Those coy moments of writing your first tune, jumping in your first cipher, and those moments visioning your first performance on stage. Glue says,
"How you move my thoughts around, call it cranium renovation."
Dope explanation of the effect o the mind after digesting rap.

I'm Gonna Make It is verbal adrenaline. That moment you take your talent more serious. Against obstacles and doubters, nothing stopping the goals. This project tales the trek of the aspiring artist. My deepest emotional attachment is with, You. Things get bumpy after the honeymoon. This is where efforts start to feel in vain. Safe to say, plenty of us could relate to this joint.

The Call is entertaining, as it is ingenious. Check the flow versatility. Hef plays the role of self, also an 808 rapper. The voice serves as the common commercial vultures poisoning the rap game. It's portrayed as a hostage situation. Though, the machine detours the ride, true emcees won't give up. Always a feeling of being the one that makes a difference for the better in the industry.
So Forth And So On is the reminder. Crazy word play,
"Can't evolve, because you're trapped."

A chronological  explanation of where Hip Hop is and where it came from. I love the metaphoric approach. Making it sound like a relationship with a girlfriend or wife. NMW pays homage to the old school, then keeps you abreast of modern times. I love how he involved his families' musical influences as a door opener. A well put together audio document for anyone with ears.
December 24th it will be released in digital music stores. Get your copy. Thank you for staying up with me. All praises to the Lord of hosts!

Executive Decision - Bless The General & Sam Da Grouch

What It Sound Like?

It's been a while, pardon my absence. When it comes to art, I am most transparent. Some of you are aware of me being in the hospital a few weeks back. Thanks for words of encouragement, as well as the prayers.  It's news to others. Before I went it, I had a few write-ups lined up. 

One of those is a project from Bless The General. He put together an impressive body of work along with dedicated producer, Sam Da Grouch. Of course the opening joint gets my attention.
One In The Chamber demands respect. The way we were groomed to start an album.
Me, Myself, and I defines the type of grind he puts forth. He really does a lot on his own. Besides this flammable track he spits on, Bless handled the rest. I'm sure he mixed and mastered thee tune.

Connect the Dots changes pace a bit. Has more of web radio sound. I like some of the harder sounding songs more. Though, I respect the versatility. He brings something for those checking for the spittas with Menace. Kept it slick and simple. 

The artist gives his perspective of the current music situation in Net Talk. From the vultures to the made up identities, they're all on blast. Paper Chase, if you couldn't tell by the title, it's a motivator. You get it from a guy who's very familiar with multiple income sources. No Rules touches on something I find myself in conversation about often. He intentionally neglects a traditional hook. More revealing of the free will format people use now. 

BTG lets you panel in on his life influences to rap. It was a transition from Brooklyn to Connecticut. Through his learning experiences between locations, the pen was the consistency to look forward to. Coming of Age is revealing content that invites the fans for the up close and personal. The scratch, plus battle bars keep that true Hip Hop essence going through Salute Me.

Gotta admire the approach with the bonus tracks. Traffik at 5 hosts the sole feature on this entire project. JusMula stops through with a moving verse for that rush hour. Listeners should dig this switch in flow from Bless. After listening to this album, I hear a veteran emcee that's still hungry.
At this time, its available in all your favorite major platforms. Show your support. Big thanks to everybody still rockin with ya boy. I look to be active again, soon. Praises to the Almighty!

Jamal Gasol- TRENCHES (Prod. MichaelAngelo)

What It Sound Like?

I don't know what hit me. Something had me out of commission, nearly two weeks. Feel like I'm getting over it, thank God.The show must continue. We're starting the weekend early tonight.

I'd say, it's been a big year for Jamal Gasol, his foot is still on the pedal. Up to the street themed craft, Mr 31 drops off a short video from the album, CrackHouse USA. The superb networking lands the lenses of GeneralGomez. They capture crystal clear cinema of natives and landmarks of the Dirty Waters. 

The artists spits savvy to the MichaelAngelo production. Slow paced track, as the drama builds. Giving Jamal all the room to talk his talk. As he does best. He's done a great job at putting his town on the map. 

All the Piff Empire heads know what time it is. Gasol sticks to his guns, so be sure to check this vid out. Oh, look at the new toy, also. Keep supporting by heading to Bandcamp for the whole project. Big thanks to the day ones, and the new faces for sticking around. Almighty blessing spread!

K.Burns - Neighborhood Heroe's Feat.Dough Montana (Prod Ecto​-​84)

What It Sound Like? 

The new year is lurking up on us. The current year is content filled, with more to go. I've had many of the influencers provide core content. Outside looking in, some artists make it look easy. 

Life has thrown the same obstacles at K.Burns that we share. It's how you respond, that matters. Entrepreneurship, what better counter to life's hits?

Tonight, he's got the audio fuel for the paper chase. I believe Burns and Dough Montana were working on this during a live a few months back. It's got that new familiar sound. 

These emcees are sharp, along with Ecto-84, the ideal catalyst. He brought that funk, this sample is instant trip to Coolie High era. I feel the distinct differences in voice tones  connect on common ground. They feed off each other's energy. Each perspective pin points the motive.

I certainly rock with this vibe! First single off the latest drop, Mob Ties. I was fortunate to hear a preview of this piece. Fans will want to add it to their collection. 

New Rolex ft. Vic Spencer (prod. Revenxnt)

What It Sound Like?

If you spend excessive time watching news media, you would think everything is turmoil. It's to the point where positive topics aren't considered. Fortunately, this crowd sees through it all. Big things constantly happening for the residents in this sector. We got the content that fuels the mainstream.

The bro, Norm Regular has more influence for them. He's the type of artist, OG's see a version of themselves in. His style is the Hip Hop era we know, not what leading media tells you. Norm connected with Vic Spencer for some hardcore. 

The track is nasty with tetanus, created by Revenxnt. Light on the instruments, leaving nuff room for rap. The artists don't disappoint with their bully rhymes. It's the road less traveled, yet revered. 

Gotta shout the Korner Boyz / TFMG keeping me busy, plus entertained. Get ready for these bars with no hook. Pull up the link, listen, and subscribe. Thanks for all the help getting here. 

Almighty blessings!   

Milly McJaggurr - Trap Amazon Ft Duhart (prod by 1chedda)

What It Sound Like?

Let's have some fun tonight. Enjoy good rhymes and laughs, together. This won't be a Boom Bap journey tonight. We're rocking a with more 808 vibe. I love the title, let's say our artist delivers.

A unique emcee hailing from Fayetteville, NC. One of the most decorated personalities on the radar, lately. Milly McJaggurr has a visual foresight along with a crafty pen. Together, he and 

Sheeraz Balushi create the relative setting. 

The ducked off apartment with a gorgeous mail carrier. She's invited for a game of cards, Spades most likely. Viewers would want to see if she obliges. Milly keeps it hot with clear lingo over the clean, 1chedda production. He's a favorite at RAN, also. Punching in with lively feature is Duhart. Yea, the high guy on the couch. 

This video is cool. He rocks his own clothing.  I think most of us could relate that mailing package. I like how the artist incorporated Amazon, since you could get anything by air, these days. A little monetary motivation going into a new week. Watch this at YouTube, share, subscribe, support some way. Make sure you check out the project, We$tside Robb. Big thanks for checking on your boy. Almighty bless all of you!

Tha Fisha HRZ - Bass Reevez

What It Sound Like?

I remember when we felt neglected by the news, coming up in the hood. The camera phone craze could quickly smother those memories. I'm not a participant in recording someone's demise for notifications. Nor do I want to read off some program's teleprompter. 

I will document this influential music movement. Got a street soundtrack produced by Bass Reevez. Been a while since we tapped in, he's been cookin up, though! He's got a team of A-listers to compliment his methodical sounds. The quality of this project is no surprise, the artists have chemistry. Appearances from Nowaah The Flood, Bub Rock, Jamal Gasol are recognized by our earliest readers. 

They're also pleased to hear from Ty Da Dale, Rome Streetz, Estee Nack. The roster is completed by AA. Rashid, plus Gym Star. This ain't for the Checkers players. A full blend of the witty and the gritty. Street dudes with sharp pens. Add it to the soulful samples, the formula is set. 

All these artist are knocking doors down with solo careers. Be sure to look them up, the variety will keep you entertained. The underground got what you need. The hiatus from the media was worth it for a strategic approach, like the legend Bobby Fisher. Get yours at Bandcamp, thanks for continued support. Jah bless!

REALITY SHOTS MofoHari ft Mar$ Noel Produced by Mr Jack

What It Sound Like?

Periodically, the toughest warriors become vulnerable. It's strange how everybody goes through moments no one else could possibly be going through.The fact is, all of us have them. Most cases, they're not at the same time. Tonight's subject meet on trial's roots. As well as, the path they could lead to.

It's been a while since we touched base with Mofohari. She's a woman of many stylish hats. So, she meets important entertainers, who also multi task. I'm proud to welcome Mar$ Noel and Mr Jack. This Queens, NY emcee, by way of Guyana is limitless with content. He could take either direction needed for the tune. 

The drama is in the melody provided by Mr Jack. His beats are enriched with Boom Bap. The recording artist bring a blend of Hip Hop with Folk. Artwork by Kevin Fyvie captures the subject manner. Catch the story settings, see if you remember similar situations. 

It's a bit on the tear jerker side, but I post plenty songs about artists that seem like they never lose. Mofohari has a way of bringing talent together. I have a lot of respect for each member of this song. More in the chamber from the upcoming 2020 album, Bullets. I got news about it, early. Now, I'm eager to hear. Pass through Bandcamp and a copy of the single. Thanks for staying up with me. Keep praying for others!   

Jamal Gasol- Buick Music (Off Of Kansas City SmackMan) Prod. JLVSN

What It Sound Like?

Before we get into it, I express this is adult view, only. A cool animation up ahead, not for the kiddies, though. Honestly, I don't know how young our crowd is. Tonight's article takes a different turn from our unscheduled  routine. 

Going on a couple months ago, we covered the Kansas City SmackMan EP. 

Now, an mini adaptation from Jamal Gasol has the streets talking. The art style resembles late 70's, early 80's urban cartoons. DeadFuckingHippie put the artist's vision in form of  2D rendering. Even saying the animator's name needs parental guidance.

They got the scenes to mirror the lyrics over the JLVSN production. I'm a fan of the bridge of Hip Hop and cartoons, done correctly. This serves as great Adult Swim material. I could see pieces being played going into commercial break. You know how they do that segue.

Grab that YouTube link. Watch for yourself, leave your comments and well thought out emojis. Keep spreading the EP, also. Much gratitude for our loyals. Prayers go up for you! 

Focused Featuring Goulash

What It Sound Like?

This place called Hip Hop is is rich in culture. The diversities are what causes us to unite. Seeing, it's embraced to biggup the those who paved the way. Tonight's artist put an early 90's twist on a current single.

Lawless figured the bridge between decades. From listening to him, its obvious he loves the old school. Not someone who's stuck in the past, though. I find this salute to Florida Bass sound creative. Back then, the lyrics would have been dance inspired. As the memory of another milestone to Hip Hop in South FL. The hood's platinum selector, DJ Uncle Al.

The vibe is still there, though Lawless and fellow Broward emcee, Gulash bring that pressure with aggression. Our listeners are fans of lyrical wordplay. You are up for some clever ones here. It flows right to the speed enhanced track of Zoran. A producer based in San Francisco, CA with plenty sounds to choose from. 

Lawless, has his own lane. Getting love from the DJ's blogs, tangible magazines, as well as the community, itself. The type of artist I support. Pull up the link, follow if you been sleep. Forever thankful for everyone hat passes through. Bless you! 

Thorough feat. Illa Ghee “Felony Crack” (Produced by Sean Lo) filmed by Sean Lo for Rebel Filmz

What It Sound Like?

I'm a little tight tonight, pardon me. There are a few more posts I wanted to so share through out the day. Some unexpected delays countered that. Nothing to do with the artists, just situations on my side. I don't want to hold up the people any longer.

I knew once I heard a single during  first quarter, this artist would take off. Let's give a formal reception for Thorough. I remember this emcee sending me some heat, made me look forward to getting him in the line up. The borough of Queens was referenced in so many ways without caption. 

I asked about the love from home crowd. He mentioned more of his shows were in other 

parts of the city. 

Wouldn't take long before vets from those parts take notice to the young champ. A training partner  of the beloved, Ruck is one of them. Pleased to hear Illa Ghee appear. He always brings that force to make the novices second guess their verse. Thorough and Ghee connect on this vital creation by 

Sean Lo.

What better way to express hard raps, than night life in BK. A cool treatment shot by Rebel Filmz has the organics. Talented at making beats, as well as videos. For example, this very song. You know they had to get the shot by the chess table and in  front Sumner. That's what they're looking to capture,  a certain element in Hip Hop. It of ten came from similar project structures. Some of the worst living conditions produced the best rhymes.

It's tunes like this along with his ethic that landed Thorough a guest appearance on Shade45. Look forward to seeing his name appear on mixes, top 10 lists, and slot times.Wait no longer. Catch this heater that's actually about rhyming! Thanks for staying up with me. Almighty blessings to you!

K.BURNS X THE ARCHITECT - WDYBI - FULL EP (2019)

What It Sound Like?

It's night time some where... Long overdue for this one right here. Trust me, I'm happy for however these posts work for our artists. If it's a smile or landing a verse with someone they admire. That's real to me. 

Now this guy so Brooklyn, he don't need no challenge. @K.Burns has been more active with releases, project after project. The current EP poses a question, I'm believing in the emcee. He locked in with the bro, @TheArchitect  and picked up a 5 speed. Each track speaks to the heart.

Gawds Design is a powerful opening. He consistently picks beats I would rap on, also. We get a briefing on his encounters, things preordained to sculpt this molding. Intriguing how the legendary Sway Universe appearance lands on cue. Anybody can get it with Assulymhulaikum.  

 "Got clips cuz he act, no improv."   Do pay attention to that line, do the math. No sect left out the equation.  

SexWeedMoneyDrugs centers the life. Anthem for the home gang. Take heed as the hook says, keep up. Must admit, I'm trying to. Burnie closes out doubling up with @Nowaah The Flood.

WDYBI is a summary, lightly touching the topic of religious and spiritual beliefs. They each walk in faith, aware of the power they possess.  A Lifetime follows with a front row seat. I'm diggin the layout. An unusual two veres from the guest artist, then we hear from the host.

We know KB reps his flag, he's aware of the battle between good and evil. Yes, he believes God, but he also is letting the people know they have to apply some pressure, themselves. Not a man of excuses, nor slouching. So, don't think your belief or traditions is meant for you to stay down or grovel. Still time left for Bandcamp. Thanks for riding along the way. Jah bless! 

Strength in the Struggle (feat. 6th Floor Recordz)

What It Sound Like?

Greetz to my important people out there. If you're reading this, that means you. The souls reached through word is extensive. Forget who's not rockin with you, we got a home at RAN. 

Peace to all the ones keeping it in rotation.

Tonight is a trip to Lansing, MI for new work from @Maddog Mcgraw. A bit more militant than your girlfriend's favorite rapper. Prides himself as anti-industry, self coined by the artist, himself. Usually, he's shaming wack rapper misrepresenting the culture. At this point, he's about motivating the ears his song falls upon.

Maddog vocals laced with this empathetic harmony from @6th Floor Recordz convey clearly. The track by the UK producer is refreshing, make you want to get something done.  The most successful has fallen. We wouldn't be so tough without a struggle on the path. It's cool to take a break from the invincible rap. This is easy to identify with.

All Nighters give a warm welcome, let em know you go through it, too. You will want to catch some more tunes our emcee of the night. Make sure you  stop by your music platform to get this one. Big thanks to the readers. May the Lord bless you!

Planetary Defense Module #777 Code: HIP HOP (prod. Psouloist)

What It Sound Like?

I know I'm not the only that had "that one" before! Usually consist of short lived experiences with an exclusive companion. For some people it could have been a situation that went on for years. No matter where you have been during life's course that send you separate paths, it's special when you run into each other again.

I'm put in that place, as I listen to this innovative selection from @the deity, V. 

First off, it's got an intro that will make you cough of your drink. So wait till after if you have a cup in hand. He picked up a fine crafted score from @Psouloist. The artist opens up with a song expressed about and towards the ladies. With this beat plus rhymes, it's done in such a tuff fashion

Plenty intimacies were fulfilled during these episodes. He does not neglect the spiritual warfare taking place around them. V knows this fun time is only momentary, realizes what he must do as result of temptation's falls. 

This tune makes me think of this beautiful VA woman I knew back in the day. Chemistry was crazy when we were around one another. I don't want to give up the whole plot, but the deity has a message he feels will be of service to listeners. Our readers know his style and will enjoy this angle. Run the link up. Thank you for listening. Pray for somebody, in the name of the Most High!   

Dream Team: A Stokely Hathaway Joint - Griff/Scorcese

What It Sound Like?

The rhymes are back. In some cases, it never left. Somehow, I find them or they find me. I'm glad the versatility is showing on the regular, now. It was a void to be filled for a certain degree of bars. I like slick this rhymesayer is.

Griff/Scorcese bring us some audio jewelry for the night. I caught the build up to this project. What I thought would be more of a mixtape. This is totally an album. @Griff strolls from track to track, as it were screenplay. The beats were well chose, all telling a collective story. 

@ScorceseShells starts off heavy! The first track, Pink Flamingo Weather is so hard, he saw no use for a filler.  His bars are creative with that concrete texture. The bul spit wisdom throughout this body of work, too. Most joints are handled as the only vocalist. However, a few other first choice emcees . Starting half features from @Sauce Heist and 

@Jamal Gasol. The latter parts host @Mr. Lif, @Vic Spencer, @Curly Castro & @Zilla Rocca. 

A lot is done that bridges childhood to present day. From the wrestler excerpts, classic scratches, to cadences. The cover art homages legends. Bro mentioned River City Ransom, one of the best things Nintendo ever did. Austin's Theory is no holds barred. That's my type of tune, Death Roll Up is an unexpected sound fans will also dig. In total, fifteen meaningful joints. All together, this is an album to digest with replays. 

There's something for everybody here, by everybody I mean people that like real rap. The production is clean, each rapper left us with something to remember them by. Peace to @Stokely Hathaway, today as, Malcom Bivens. He's focused on his WWE / NXT career. The group continues with his spiritual successor in the movement. Dream Team is now available at all major platforms. Do remember the creative Dream Team merchandise. Thank you eternally to all supporters. Peace my people. Pray for somebody! 

Famous - Tony Grands

What It Sound Like?

I'm in super dad mode! Feel like my team won the championship. My son had his first official basketball game yesterday. He hit the game winning shot! That felt good to see how happy he was. While I'm still in the moment, I will write about a positive father figure in Hip Hop. 

I remember great qualities emcees had outside of rap in the Golden Era. @Tony Grands has that structure. I don't know how he gets so much done in a day. Think he figured out a way to get an extra three hours. This time around, he puts his melodic cleverness upon a mirroring background by @420z.  The Los Angeles producer put the subtle touches that do the most damage. 

Tony details the exact time we're in. Independent artists face a lower scale version of what dope emcees went through with majors. Large difference in numbers, yet the impact remains the same. Still, you must stand firm, be who you are.  The materials will follow in due time.

Forget the jewels on the neck, he drops plenty through the verses. Interesting how this landed on the EP, Windows Down. seriously, the type of tune to ride to. Definitely pick up your copy at a major platform. Thanks for always supporting. Peace to all, many blessings! 

Cruising Streets - Eifelgangsta & LuGhz

What It Sound Like?

Full time is due for us to go international again. Let's revisit the multi-cultured emcee and producer duo. Their first single we covered did crazy numbers in the online stores. It didn't even take them a long time to get traction. 

Eifelgangsta and @LuGhz are ready to repeat their established system. Once I heard the funk flip done by @Eifelgangsta, I thought it would be a laid back flow. The warrior instinct of LuGhz would take over, though. He exercises clever patterned bars that make his presence felt. 

He touches on the streets, as well as the wicked government. Usually direct sources that make you want to go cruise for relaxation. The harsh realities are blanketed by a smooth hook about treating yourself, following the grind. Listeners can't snooze on the homage paid to the ones before us with the scratches. Who knows the vocals?

Something to ride to. Anybody stepping out tonight, add this to your track list. Overall, this is feel good, music. Nice variety from the circuit. Readers are aware the artists go through a lot to get these tunes to you. Please stop by your music store of choice and support. Big gratitude to everyone who ever heard of  Rhyme All Night. Eternal blessings from Jah!

Gargoyle Ceremony · Hus Kingpin · Sauce Heist · the deity, V

What It Sound Like?

Let's resume our stroll through theses streets of Hip Hop. Something fascinating happens from our influences by dope emcees, as we aspire individuality. Along the way, your craft is developed, and you take ownership. Tonight's tune is that representation. I assure you, no other song sounds like this.

Look at the title...

@Hus Kingpin gets it eerie with this slow sax, and palpitations by @ChopTheHead. Two more independent favorites join the feast. @Sauce Heist, as well as @the deity, V show why they're a part of this hand selected piece by Hus. I'm feeling the edge, of course. It's also creative, I'm all for sparking the mind. 

You want abstract bars? You want gangsta? There's even some Latin lines in there. 

What's destined is inevitable. I'm glad to see the artists getting recognized on different platforms, plus their path of wealth. 

A song for the replays. You'll want to listen more than once to catch all the precious stones they drop in each verse. One of many steamers to a well calculated album the fans are enjoying. If you have yet to hear it, go to Bandcamp and get yours. Thanks for staying up with me. Almighty blessings!

Big Turks - Persian Carpet Feat. Supreme Cerebral (Prod. Ro Data)

What It Sound Like?

Here we go! It had to be documented. A time when quality product is coming in from different sectors. The smart money buys in together for a bigger pot. Tonight we hear from a rap dream team. All emcees we've become familiar with in a few years. 

Each of these guys got it from the ground up. @Rome Streetz, @Jamal Gasol, and @Lord Juco slay the cultural flip by Ro Data. Part of the heavily armed group, @Big Turks. They welcome more high caliber with Supreme Cerebral. I know, it's like that year the Warriors picked up Durant...

Solidified win.

This tune is packed with style. Emcees spit that hardcore while the beat relieves the soul. Gotta put some piff in the air for this one. The hood heard about this project forming. Once it did, the work took off quick. Of course, you will dig the rest of Big Turks songs. Which also include creative contributions by @Jordan Commanduer and @Jonny Botsch.

The team has an album for you, and there's choices for the form you want. Whether digital or fast moving physicals. For now, listen to this heater at YouTube. Peace to @Paka The Plug for the post. 

D.O.D FEAT. E-FLUENT (PRODUCED BY MINDFRAME)

What It Sound Like?

They really wanna know! It's our dialect, this thing called rap. With all the action taking place at once, listeners are still able to get the message. Producers have a way of getting emcees to expose deepest fears.The tracks bring out the most unrevealed info from the toughest.

The ever active key pusher, @MindFrame sent me his team up with @E-Fluent. The Binghamton, NY emcee spits over an unforgettable piano piece. It's a one-verser, down to Earth rhymes heads could catch on to. I like the lines going against the corrupt members running the world. That was one of main reasons this music form exists. 

I feel the syllable buffs will get a kick out of the flow patterns E-Fluent uses. Add this to your catalog at Bandcamp. Stay up with these two, I know MindFrame keep the kitchen open 24 hours. Big thanks to all the readers out there. Continued blessings to each from Jah!

Falcon Outlaw ft. TheRealSkitso - Who's the Mack (Prod by TheRealSkitso)

What It Sound Like?

This is the era to remember! Traces of it's predecessors, and nuances displayed with ease. Provide best parts of both worlds. Our artists tonight keep Hip Hop alive with solid concepts. The content is theme based. It's good to see there's artist utilizing that element.

@Falcon Outlaw grasped the method of education through music. It's what we listened to more than our parents, teachers, doctors, or even lawyers. It was no coincidence those last three play a big role in the subject matter at hand. The the faceless Falcon is accompanied by Buffalo heavy hitter, @TheRealSkitso. 

Not only did he put that pain in the verse, Skitso happens to be the producer of this addictive track. 

The two rap styles differ and compliment one another. Outlaw bares warning of the multi levels of life in which people run on a pimp or be pimped system. 

I know I be on my rap geek flow. Truthfully, I am happy for the people I write about, as well as what contribution it is for the genre we rep. Yes, the tune is tuff, I also want to point out the nack 

Falcon Outlaw has for sound. It's a technical execution of the way he lays his vocals. It has always stood out to me. So, you should notice some cool ways he delivers. Thanks for staying up with me. All Nighters stay in my prayers. Almighty blessings!

Back To Da Streets 6 - Money Stacks

What It Sound Like?

We know the feeling to make an impacting return to the arena. That place you love to go, or that thing you love to do. You could never stay away for long. Tonight is a returning veteran emcee to RAN.

Book readers, gamers, film buffs, podcast fans, you name it. Safe to say, most of us enjoy a good series. @Money Stacks blessed us with his sixth installment of Back To Da Streets. Not that he ever left, he's engraved in it. He attacks the merch with same hunger of moving the work.

Peep this producer line up. A journey of sounds from talent you rappers should link up with, 

Chalie Bo, D. Rose, @Rebel327, there's more! @Chef Boyart, J Hill, and @Casso Beats. A few faces I'm cool with, and have written about. I'm pleased to meet the others, as well. Stacks put together the audio support for someone who has gone through the crime life. 

He covers hustling from experiences, though he touches spiritual topics briefly. Anyone who scrambled before probably got through with a lot of prayers. He has something for the radio, a single released earlier this year, Right Here. One of favorites is the closing tune, Pain. It stands out from most joints I heard from him. I feel the fans will dig it, also.

Money kept it official with the DJ intro from @DJNore718. Overall, this project has that Hip Hop feel. The songs vary, there's life transitions, don't forget he handled all verses, solely. Get your dose at Audiomack. Thanks for staying up with me. Blessings from the Most High!   

Gratitude - K. Burns

What It Sound Like?

The perfect Sunday vibe for my peoples. No rhymes about kicking doors and gun butting somebody's grandparents. We got a tune about love. That intimacy with the special one we long for. This should help avoid going to bed angry. 

@K. Burns puts the focal point on his Ride Or Die. She's been there from the bottom up, seen his worst days. Hip Hop fans with a soul appreciate these expressions from our hardcore artists. I find plenty to associate with in this tune. Besides, we need more lady-friendly songs in the circuit.

@Wavy Da Ghawd  whipped up the type of track that make you wanna sing to a chic. The more I hear from him, he's constantly growing. So is the chemistry with him and Burns. I feel there is music for every motion in our bodies, we make. 

This artist creates music that parallels and inspires reality. 

So, I'm scrolling through my phone after this is posted. Ladies got to feel adored by this one, overall a song for music lovers. All of the major distributors have it in stock. Go get your copy. Thanks for staying up with me, All Nighters! 

  

Feeling Myself - Glue Hefner

What It Sound Like?

Authenticity is the common denominator among our topics. Occasionally, I get the luxury to build with some of the favorites. Our subject of the night is so genuine, he reminds me of people I knew growing up. Artistically, it transfers through his music.

@Glue Hefner expresses most emotions through rhyme. Cut from that cloth where emcees handled minor to major conflicts on wax. More than capable of destroying rappers on a dis record, he releases a more self consumed banger. A joint that you write, recite it to the beat and walk away like you the dropped the mic. 

That's when you know you bodied it. He was so in the zone, he couldn't recall who made the track. So shouts to the man or woman behind the keys on this adrenaline driver. In midst of all this assurance, the artist leaves space for modesty. I like how Glue mentions playing  the Porsche passenger. Prideless, full of honesty. 

This tune is a shortee, still something to get right and fly to. It' got bars, it also has a hyped track. You'll dig the fusion. All major music stores got it, pick your pleasure. Thanks for all the support, the artists that feel my style compliments their content. I aim to get to as many as I can. Anybody asking friends if they know about Rhyme All Night. Big thanks to all of you. Jah bless!     

Dudley Boyz EP - Emaculate Vernacular x Don Ph3nom

What It Sound Like? 

Rap is so cool! It allows us to properly, use improper language. It brings childhood imagination to life. I think we all had our moment when wrestlers became the super heroes we watched on cartoons.

 As emcees, we find connections with these boisterous characters. I even adopted the Hitman moniker from Bret Hart, a long time ago. 

Tonight, the Dudley Boyz reign again with this EP from @Emaculate Vernacular. In all the directions to turn, you'd  find various styles in the underground. He has a niche in the new Backpack section of the circuit. It's not just rhyme books in this arm bearer's bag. Five original bangers, keyed by
@Don Ph3nom provide that energy.

Emac has slick bars that may go over heads, yet still hit the target. Crazy play on words, plus a distinct voice to make the message clear. He expresses knowledge of other cultures. Jamaicans will be proud to hear the lingo being expressed by the Georgia native. Here is a guy that supports almost every artist I put my word on. I still was pleasantly surprised to get a shout with my roll-ups on this project. 

The artist said, 

"It ain't my style to shoot a man in the back, but you won't turn around and face facts!"

There's clever one all throughout. My favorite tune, might be Ready. Something about the alternate flows. Listen to the whole thing at your favorite digi music spot. Thank you to everyone showing up for these artists, everyone showing love for the articles. Eternal blessings from the Almighty!  

NEW YORK BELGIAN ALE - Snotty x Influence Beats

What It Sound Like?

This month started off with new music, of course. Some areas are getting cold already, too. This case, the songs match the season. A good natural vibe, not falling short of good marketing, either. We got something for the streets tonight. 

@Snotty and producer, @Influence Beats bottled up a six pack of on the stoop music. Light instrumentation used effectively. Each effect is noticed easier that way. Snotty spills tales of the good and the bad. He invited a couple other personalities our crowd is bumping in their speakers. 

@John Creasy and @Josiah The Gift participate in the brewery. 

One of my favorite lines by Snotty was, 

"We was chasing roaches now we chasing Rollies."   

That's represented achievements in multi social classes. You'll also find him throwing in his Steiner Brother cadences. You see him working hard. 

Make your contributions at Bandcamp. Anyone that can't purchase, please share. I'm grateful to have this set of readers. I only want the Most High to keep blessing you!

Look what happened in the past few days. An update in optical form. Snotty pops out to the bowling alley that no longer looks functional. Reflecting on a checkered past, you should be able to put together what used to go on there. Doesn't look like a nice spot to end up late nights. He kept it simple for the viewer to focus. Rare broad day scenery of the abandoned. Check the flow on YouTube. Leave your comments, and share! 

Jesus Ain't Cheap - Falcon Outlaw Ft. DNTE

What It Sound Like? 

I want to give thanks for not being a part of the devastation caused by the hurricane. It's sad to see what happened in the Bahamas. Pardon my absence, family before the media. Content rolls through steady though. 

Tonight's tune is a skin crawler. Before you start accusing these brothers of  blaspheme over a title, listen to the song. I don't go back and forth about who's belief's are better. Nor do I feel the artist took that approach, either. Yeshua is who I believe in, He is not so textbook as some think. With this gift, I wouldn't feel right missing this article. 

There's some mind sparking occurrences going on here. To me, it sounds like @Falcon Outlaw & @DNTE are speaking on the misleading by holy rollers. Despite the name of the song, Muhammad is not left out. Unfortunately, people do take advantage of congregations, financially. Offering does not have to be money. Obviously, not all of them are crooked. Some are clean hearted, with no intent to scheme. The current tune ain't about them. 

In the second verse, Outlaw portrays the misusing of the name, Jesus. How oppressors would see it more as manipulation. One of the gems dropped in this verse touches something I believe happened a long time ago. My theory is for another time and place, I will keep this brief. 

"They made me white, that worked in my favor. Picture the white man with a black savior" 

Here, he makes note of early identity theft. Whichever way you look at it, metaphorically or spiritually, Jesus ain't cheap. If you give monetarily, it's costly. If you give out of pure worship, we know that's costly, also.   

Honestly, if you like @Falconcrest, you will enjoy this song. Plus, it's lyrics over a dope track by 

@Pastor Wesley. I think that pun was intentional. Check it out on YouTube, the emcees would dig your point of view. These guys respect my opinion, which I feel the Lord had visioned. Praises to the Almighty!.        

Nomads - Xp The Marxman & IceRocks

What It Sound Like?

From my position, I see upward potential for the people I write about. The hope is for them to do their best. Turn outs for some has exceeded expectations. So, to be able to make the call on talent before stardom, it's like inside trading in the stock market.

I feel we got another one of those artists tonight. Welcome @XP The Marxman to the RAN session. I can't take credit for the discovery. @Indigo PhoeNYx referred the LA rhymesayer. I feel late, I wanna go Arsenio Hall slapping people for not telling about him sooner, haha. This young cat is an old soul, real throwback to the good ol' days.

  Networking skills are exercised with a coastal connection on the keys. The audience is familiar with @IceRocks, he produced this entire album. These tracks are nothing less than vibrant. He uses many dynamics of the sample. Some beats are aggro, some are laid back, vocal drops are right in the pocket. XP may have spent time in Queens, as well. He does mention his grandmother living there on a tune with @Madhattan. 

Actually, this feature list is decorated with emcees All Nighters love to see grace our pages. Starting with @Big Twins for that griminess. My first time hearing the lovely voice of Daisy Ramos, already looking for more. The lyrical, Supreme Cerebral passes through, as they go to work on this ill Prodigy flip. 

DXA appears on the same tune as @Rhyme Addicts. It brought me a that fundamental Hip Hop vibe, almost like a cipher. The final features are from artists that have been keeping Long Island proud. One tune has @Hus Kingpin, and the other with @Roc Marciano. The kid gels with other rappers without a problem. 

I'm thoroughly impressed by his individual joints, also. There are songs that fade into candid conversations between Marxman and company. This kind of access  adds depth while giving something extra to the fans. Content throughout Nomads is crucial. The lines are sharp, creative flows without being over complex.

Makin Moves is a tune that draws me in. As a father, plus independent, I could relate. Here's another cool dialogue plug, this time from his son, who is mentioned. Angel is another one I see as special. He knows exactly how to mold to each track, effortless display with this heater. 

Overall you will enjoy the structure through this body of work. We're working with a digital version, yet the music tangible. Listeners will have something with replay value, get your copy at soon as it releases this week. Thank every reader for staying up with me. Almighty blessings to you!  

Welcome II The Punch - Ca$ablanca x Ray Vendetta x Pad Scientist

What It Sound Like?

Your producer radar should already be on alert. All the crews have their key master. Fortunate enough, I've been requested for one that has left an impression, lately. his dude knows how to let the music speak for itself, and he's got one of the coolest names. 

Drum kit roll for @Pad Scientist! Hustlers should be proud of the international play he made. The smooth beat making draws in Dallas based emcee, @Ca$ablanca  and UK lyricist, @Ray Vendetta. A slow, melodic pace,  as lifelike imagery is projected. It's than grown up Hip Hop. 

The recording artists represent total differing sounds, which works well for this tune. The lines are slick, and delivered to the listener like you know the rapper. The situations mentioned are also relative. Here's a joint to add to a laid back playlist and roll one.

The free stream is available at SoundCloud. Interact with the track while you're there. Let these hard workers get the attention deserved. Thank you for always supporting. May the Most High bring your prayers to life!  

Brian's Soul - Wrong Crowd

What It Sound Like?

Long ago, in a time when I wasn't anti-industry. I had yet to be jaded by mistreating from gatekeepers. I was wide eyed and seeking a major record deal. Compatible emcees weren't at the disposal you see today.  Finding producers with the samples was a journey. 

I was unaware how close I was to Wrong Crowd. A rap crew lead by a duo that was also wide eyed and hungry for a piece of the pie. They were far ahead of me in accomplishments. Close relationship with Duck Down, as well as so many emcees, and respected writers for The Source. 

We'd eventually meet through a mutual friend. @Nyceflix, a producer expanded to film, who also deserves an article. He had the samples, we had the rhymes.Wrong Crowd was shaking up the ground from The Bronx, back and forth to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. These cats were wrestling aficionados long before the bubble. Also known for themes of gaming, and comics. They were ahead of the vlog curve with famous rappers at the crib doing interviews.

I've had the pleasure rhyming with @Tegano and @DeFame several occasions, always great vibes. These guys were inspirational, at the same time, someone you could reach out to. Nearly a decade ago, I read a detailed post from Tegano. What I left out  up to this point ,was the life issues. For years he would grind to raise two sons in two states. Even, dealing with a major operation for one of them. That's some of the things that were going on. In his post he mentioned the effort he gave Hip Hop, as well as disappointment in  the direction it was heading. 

Unfortunately, he ended it announcing his retirement from rap. There were major artist who retired and it didn't affect me the same. I understood, but I couldn't stand it. There was still some hope, DeFame continued his music career. He constantly slayed original and industry beats, carrying the name. Over time, I never pressured Tegano to to do another song. Fast forward to Summer 2019, Wrong Crowd reunites for a new single.

I know I'm not the only one thrilled to see it. DeFame directed the digital bridge to reality. The set is a real collection of rare merch from classic comic books and video games. Often the cadences you'll find in their lyrics. I'm gonna ask DeFame to do some graphics for me. They rhymed over a cosmic funk Brian Bennett piece.

 The artists are having fun with this song. We need to remember to have fun doing this. By the way, there's an Easter egg here linked to a special tattoo in the vid. Keep your eyes open. View the adaptation, leave your comments. Thank you for staying up with me. Bless all of you from the Most High!

Heat - Cocareef x Robert Denir0

What It Sound Like?

To document what's going on in this circuit would take more than one piece. Tonight's post visits one the soundtracks to the series it would consist of. This LP is a most awaited in 2019. That's accredited to a relentless marketing strategy, along with a roster that has yet to be on the same project.

@Coccareef masterminded this assembly while digging through a pack of @Robert Denir0 tracks. It starts out aggressive with the first two songs having consistent verses from 

@The Lupus Dei Experience, as well as, @Killy Shoot of Home Team. Plus, @Lord Juco, 

@Eddie Kaine, active emcees we enjoy popping up on the scene, an introduction to Nucleus, and a return from Frank Docket. 

The next song gets darker, the pain is brought by @Whata Mess, @the deity, V and myself. The direction Reef is aiming crosshairs at is phony rappers. Currently, a hit single in rotation, is inked by 

@The Real Skitso, Lupus Dei, and @Krazy The Real One. A few pre-order joints received early traction.

The following tune has a reappearance from @Ambishouz, and homecoming of @LuGhz for that incomparable result! The lovely legacy to Cocareef Records also pops up with the boys on another heater. King Lup and Ill Kill chose the ideal beat or did it choose them? Either way, I dig the outcome.

Cocareef plays the back throughout most of the album. He hops on slaying another verse with @DNTE of Falconcrest, and The Midaz Beast. You see where this is going! Temperature is rising, things get crazier. Tag team action from @Pro Zay and @Certain Ones giving you hardcore Boombap. 

Now, we get to one of the first joints released this year. A true anthem featuring @Jamil Honesty, Micah Write, @Sedizzy, Lupus Dei, Whata Mess, and Ambishouz. One of the underground diplomats, @Enox shows up ready for the solo job. 

We get one more from LuGhz who locks in with Sedizzy. One of my favorite lines is on this joint. 

"I was raised by OG's you was raised by IG."

The two go back and forth. It's a gully tune, the vibe enhances your THC.

Our film closes with the star, on the low. The Lupus Dei Experience end it strong over the ruff bass line. 

Heat merges the attack of different angle these styles. I've been riding with Rob Deniro since I heard his tracks. Likewise for Reef, and they keep it genuine. Being an artist on the project, I heard some of the beats before everything got recorded. I like the way it turned out. All of the pre-orders, radio spins,  plus merch has been doing well. Slide to Bandcamp, get your copy! Thank you in advance. Biggups to Cocareef for another great day at the shooting range. Blessings from the Almighty!
