22 Gz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #142 (Video)

22 Gz. The General Blicky. This is what Brooklyn sounds like. Brooklyn’s real (that’s right). Real trill though? Real drill rap out of BK though? Hmmmkay…

Wait, WAIT! Don’t leave yet. LISTEN. Flatbush emceeing actually got represented in a new way this time out on Flex. Yet, the grimy feel is familiar enough for old heads (like me) to give new schoolers a chance. And to that I say, “Salute, General Blicky” (I mean Gang-Gang-GANG)!

J. Keys – “Guilty” (Prod. By Cultural Bastards) [Video]

Yoooo!

Shout to Gerald O for hipping me to this. Follow my bro on his show’s Twitter, IG, FB, all that. Even the website is ATLREMIX. Same name across all platforms – that’s the key. And I really feel this way, but today, it’s about more than dope handles and doper people… It’s about more KEYS! Like MORE music from J. Keys! You can bet money there’ll be at least one song of his on ATLREMIX every weekend. Maybe even this “Guilty” jawn, since the visuals are giving it even more life.

J. Keys drops the visual entitled “Guilty,” a scathing commentary on the American criminal justice system.

Produced by the Cultural Bastards, Keys said “They bodied it on the track, as soon I heard the sample I knew instantly what the song was going to be about.” For Keys it was only a matter of how to say it.

So, who’s hitting rewind a third time? Me! I am “Guilty” fam #BecauseBANGER
