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!
