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!
