February 10, 2020
Born perfect and raised to be amazing!
OHHHH! That beat comes in HAAARRRD! And The Grouch comes in just as hard with the flows. Salute!
Murs we told ’em we were gone put Thees Handz on ’em.
And, yes, Murs comes through on the the verse 2 and keeps it going. This whole song hit AND hit different. Tribal feel on the whole deal #DOPE
(Speaking of ‘tribe’… Listen all the way to the end. Please!)

Purple Poison – “Fair Is Fair” feat. Profile
February 7, 2020
See, when an artist grabs my ear, I listen intently to what they have to say. Like Revalation (of EMS)… he grabbed my ear…
[Pause? Should I say, “Pause” right here? Aaah, forgetaboutit]
…And I listen, even when he is putting me on to other artists. Because dope knows dope. Purple Poison, for example. Rev knows Purple Poison #becauseDOPE
Purple Poison is a group consisting of Chuck Brown and PhrumLsWhere.
The Drop is the first project for this collaboration.
I like this single. It’s right at the mid-point of the listening experience. The project builds to this point and really takes off from here. Check it out!

Lil Nas X – “Rodeo” feat. Nas (Video)
February 7, 2020
Nas X or Big Nas, this sh!t ride!
No swerve. No click-baiting. No cap… This is really Lil Nas X and Nas on a track… together… and not all that bad. In fact, I’d say… You know what? I won’t say. YOU watch and listen. YOU decide.

February 7, 2020
I love woke b!tches… I love broke b!tches…
Wow. You KNOW a song is about to go THERE when there’s a sincere apology at the start of the song. I mean, MJ did it at the start of the “Thriller” video, and look how that turned out. So good it was scary. So it shall be with this “Murs N Corey” (FACTS)!

Benny The Butcher On Waiting For Westside Gunn To Fall Back, Meeting & Making Music With His Idols (Video)
February 6, 2020
Interesting. I always thought Benny was the leader. He gives it up to the OG Gunn.
I did this interview with Benny The Butcher and I think the interview went over many people’s head at the time.

Like that shout and respect to 38 Spesh in this clip, too. And the reminiscing…

Thees Handz (The Grouch x Murs) – “Play Freebird†feat. Brady Watt
February 6, 2020
No cape… still fly though…
Hope you weren’t expecting anything like that slow gee-tar twang. Nope, this is not that ‘Freebird’ man. Murs and The Grouch (and Brady Watt) will probably give y’all Thees Handz if y’all don’t play “Play Freebird.â€
(Hahahaaa! Murs tried it at the end though.)

Brady Watt x Caye x Pharoahe Monch – “Monte Carlo”
February 5, 2020
You say you love me then you leave me just to f**k with my head.
You give me p**sy just to please me then you do it again.
I don’t need your friendship…
Damn!
Brady bought the FUNK! For this, he held off the BARbarian at the gate and let the gruff singing take us about two-thirds through… only then does Monch get to EAT! This single is a wave, a vibe and a feel. My bad for not digging this out my inbox sooner. Play it now as the perfect apology.

Big Shug – “Stay The Course” (Prod. By Elevated Music) [Video]
February 5, 2020
Stay focused. No time for hocus pocus. Attack like locusts…
Shug makes you wanna lean in and listen when he has the mic. And it ain’t always the raps. Bet money the dude who taught Guru how to rhyme got words for your behind! Even when Big Shug is just talking,it’s the realest talk #BigShug #BARZ #JustOneZ #DontSleep
Hit the streets of Boston with the city’s own legendary Big Shug in his slick new video for “Stay The Course,†a soulful and contemplative burner off his new LP, The Diamond Report.
Featuring direction from Ill Mannered Films (Redman, Cypress Hill), the video centers on the Gang Starr Foundation member and, more importantly, his rhymes. While there are some clever edits and additional touches that bring life to the visuals, they mostly serve to send home the message in Shug’s words.
He brings wisdom and positivity with his bars that essentially advise the listener to learn from life’s obstacles and just keep it moving forward. There’s an authentic and personable level of clarity to the entire track that makes Shug’s lyrics resonate that much more. Plus, it’s all backed by a great instrumental produced by Elevated Music, who’s joined on The Diamond Report by DJ Premier, Lil Fame, Reel Drama and Kid Called Quest, among others.

…everyone has a spirit. We’re just more spiritualer than you.
Wait wait. I expect a dude to talk that monogamy-just-ain’t-for-me ‘ish… not out loud to his lady, but expected… But not from the sis. Wowww. Not mad. At all. At her. Because she still respects his ‘Light’ though *wink*

Interview: 3D Na’Tee Is Not Trying To Offend You, But She’s Not “Not Trying To” Either (Video)
February 5, 2020
Mm mm mm, 3D Na’Tee!
Right from the top… I got a correction: The challenge is that you are FINE AF, Na’Tee. That’s a fact. Which gets you pigeon-holed as a FEMALE emcee, and getting invited to be back stage instead of ON stage. You’re always impressive nonetheless. Just saying, no name-calling needed, but if you were less attractive or less skilled like some folks, or if you were something other than authentically you… it’d be a different situation altogether for you.
That said, you MUST be YOU. Please, stay true to YOU, Na’Tee. I have followed you for years and applauded you for being that way every step of the way! The world needs you just as you are. Gorgeous in ALL ways. So the quote says:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
– Marianne Williamson
Yes! Liberate us, Sis. LIBERATE US!!!
I’m saying though: Just um… don’t be mad at me for staring. I mean the barz got me like daaaamn! But so does the bod #Confession #Facts #YeezusWEST #YouBLESSED

Dax – “Tim Westwood Freestyle†(Video)
February 5, 2020
Pikachu with the bars. It’s like lightning when I speak.
Listen. Look, man. If you know about us… then you know about <strong>Dax (study up here if you don’t and don’t wanna put yourself out there like that).
So we don’t need Tim Westwood to tell us that Dax goes hard in the booth. But I’m sure Dax apprecates hearing it from someone else from time to time.

Young M.A – “2020 Vision” (Video)
February 4, 2020
You got likes but you ain’t got no wealth…
There is NO STOPPING YOUNG M.A!
So much big bag talk from this one on this one… and yet… she still misses her brother. She made it, but life can still be a “let down” at times. Money cannot buy happiness. Hell, it can’t really even buy wealth if you think about it.
Maaan, lemme step off this soapbox. Y’all click play and get to bopping.

Ain’t no dollar sign on peace of mind.
FACTS and BARS! Yeah, D Smoke took that Netflix series strap, AND all the racks that came with the win, and kept it moving! Got another visual out here for you.
Make it make sense real fast when you call on D Smoke. And if he’s with it, it will be mission accomplished… ASAP. No pause or hesitation and “No Commas.”
