Slaine – “Trick The Trap” feat. Statik Selektah x Rasheed Chappell (Prod. By The Arcitype) [Video]
December 27, 2019
Okay. It’s just us here, so you can tell the truth… If you weren’t hip to how much we post on him here, and you came across Slaine on the street, you would NOT assume that he was a killer in the game with these BARZ, would you? Admit it. Even if he said he was down with Statik Selektah, you’d be looking at him like, “Oh cool. So you tote crates or manage his career. Y’all are family, right?”
Then comes this BANGER! And the visuals for it. That beat work by The Arcitype AND table turn-up from Stat Diddy AND the homie Rasheed Chappell with the hook game… THEN the BARZ from Slaine bringing you pain… but it’s too late. The emcee murder already has his weapon, the M-I-C!

December 27, 2019
You’re big in your city. Rich Brian is the king of his continent! He said so in the video… watch. Real sh!t. Gotta love the style, too. Shot selection is nowhere near the glam glitzy fronting shizzy. Dope music and feel good vibes come through. Essence of Indonesia. Wonderful!

Married to ‘the life’ AND to Islam? Now that’s taking it back to the Golden Era, when some of the hardest emcees did the Knowledge.

Kim Hill Was ‘Almost Famous’ (Video)
December 24, 2019
Damn. The story ‘before Fergie‘… This is like the ‘5th Beatle‘ story we hear all the time. Disgruntled artist mad about not staying around long enough. But is it like that for this story? No, not the way Kim tells it…
In the mid-1990s, the singer and songwriter Kim Hill met a young rapper who suggested they start making music. That rapper’s name was will.i.am, and his group was a rising Los Angeles underground Hip-Hop crew called The Black Eyed Peas. The rest is history — or is it?
Hill found herself at a crossroads in 2000 and decided to quit the group and find her own voice, only to look on as The Black Eyed Peas reached global stardom with earworms like “I Gotta Feeling.†Having missed out on what every performer dreams of, does Hill regret her decision?
“Almost Famous†is a special Op-Docs series of short films directed by Ben Proudfoot featuring people who nearly made history — only to fall short. These are tales of overcoming disappointment at its most epic, from an astronaut who never flew to a superstar who never was.

Not saying don’t come outside… but if and when you do, you might run into cats like Benny, Conway, and Westside Gunn… and they might… you know. You’ve heard the records! And trust, you WILL hear the BARZ above, too.
