What It Sound Like?
This is an honor! The level of respect from some of the most admirable recording artists RAN gets is priceless. I usually drop tunes from underground artists that are uncharted or on the rise. This emcee already succeeded that before all these platforms were available. One of the few to set an early blueprint on breaking through the surface. @Ali Vegas has rung bells since the early 2000's .
I remember getting mixtapes from Jamaica Ave when I first heard the Prince. Fellow Queens emcee 50 Cent ciphered with him on a classic over a Nature track. The Boro was in the building that day with @DJ Stretch Armstrong . That's a DJ you better know about! This was a small dose compared to the amount of impacting stars Ali would go on to work with. After parting ways with former label, Trackmasters he stayed on his grind. He would continue to light up mixtapes, plus land verses on Golden Era albums. Vegas didn't limit himself to rapping, consulting for celebs you know became a regular thing for him.
There are enough stories and name drops to write a book series, but I wan't to get into this heat produced by @Ty Fyffe. Don't be fooled by the jazzy instrumental, these lines are not your typical toast. He's over the comparisons, along with deal setbacks. Here to claim what's his. The only thing separating his career from bigger names was companies that tried to hold him back. Lyrically, he let's you know he's just as nice. Some cases, nicer and he's willing to prove it. "If Nas is Nasty then I'm Despicable, if Jay is God them I'm invincible."Proceeds to go through others that are held in high regard.
I also like how he points out society's stigmas with Jordan / Lebron talk, plus how media does everything in their power not to give Floyd Mayweather Jr his just do. I actually watched an interview where an ESPN anchorman admitted if he was white, he would be getting more praises from media. Ali Vegas is talented, intelligent, and has been mistreated by certain industry entities in a similar way. Despite any roadblocks, the entrepreneur still achieved success without a labels help.

He deserves all the celebration, however the "For Everybody" part could be taking as a double meaning. Anybody can get it. At the same time, willing to share wealth with the real ones in his corner. This industry is not guaranteed, so it's encouraging to see this brother still doing well nearly two decades later. In his own words, "Winners don't forget how to win." Listen to this smoker, make sure to follow for future joints. Thank you to every reader showing love. Blessings from the Almighty!
