Kayo Genesis – “Distance” (Prod. By Tariq x Garfield) [Video]
July 24, 2019
SKILLZ!! Lyrical skills from Kayo Genesis rapping on the “Distance” track and some visual creativity that Spike Jonze could be proud of (Google him).
And I am feeling the concept… I mean, if you are gonna put me in a friend zone or we do not have kids together or ‘relations’ or such, respect the ZONE (boundaries)… Give me my space and my peace: Don’t bring your boyfriend problems to me. And what’s with all the yakkety-yak when I’m trying to listen to the silence??! Go talk to your actual dude or something #Facts #FaxAndEmail

Sam Peezy x Tetraz – “Grown And Sexy” (Radio Bass Version)
July 24, 2019
On more than one occasion, we have been accused of having an East-coast preference when it comes to our Hip-Hop. Okay, we will cop to that; but no pleas. That’s just how we be (our “steez” as some heads might call it). However, we do spotlight Indies, up-and-comers, regional & historical figures in music, too. YOU gotta admit that.
And admit this… any so-called hardcore Hip-Hop head had absolutely nooooo problem with a good down south booty shake party (have mercy)! And this guy Tetraz (of Tetraz & K Chill fame), was one of those cats that used to get it jumping in the spots that were really hot when bass music was king in the South (and at those parties East Cost heads acted like they weren’t down with… HA)! Got a couple of golden ‘oldies’ from the 20th century embedded after the jump. But how about taking this new jawn, produced by the homie Sam Peezy (aka Tony Factory), for a ride down the stream? Do it. Come on…
This is the 135bpm BASS Version of the new southern soul song entitled Grown and Sexy performed by Sam Peezy & Tetraz. #GrownAndSexyMusic

Talib Kweli Welcomes ‘Sophisti-Ratchet’ Angela Rye To The “People’s Party†(Video)
July 23, 2019
If the bridge can be Hip-Hop, cross it!
Are there two more ‘woke’ people (Kweli & Rye) in America today? Valid question…
On the latest People’s Party, Kweli sits down with political activist Angela Rye to discuss Hip-Hop’s influence on culture, their approaches to Twitter trolls, the impact of the 2016 election, and the need for people to better understand where they get their information.

Unknown P – “Fire In The Booth†(Freestyle) [Video]
July 22, 2019
Bwaaaahahaaaa! Okay, this is hilarious. But Unknown P got barz and wordplay. Think about a Brit-nifty Lil Dicky while watching this. And Charlie gets into the mode to sell the funny in this clip, too.
Unknown P, the UK’s first ever posh drill rapper, is in the studio for his firth (and only) solo Fire In The Booth.
If you haven’t realised yet, this is Fire In The Booth Comedy episode with presenter/comedian Munya Chawawa.
Fire In The Booth is a Charlie Sloth original freestyle Rap format on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Studio recorded in London, UK.
It really is VERY different now.

We are talking the Dungeon Family, The Attic Crew, started off in a group with Cee-Lo. He is a veteran. Thing is we hardly discussed music but more about how he has built great relationships. How he has learned from past ways of not communicating well. We also discussed the power of marketing and how it’s important to want to be the best! Watch, Share and enjoy this is a great discussion.

Wale – “On Chill” feat. Jeremih (Prod. By LT Mo x Va)
July 22, 2019
Wale back on the R&B’d out slide and ride out jam tip. Bop with this with your girl. Be “On Chill” with her tonight…
The GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum Washington, D.C. rapper/poet/agitator and iconoclast serves up his signature slick wordplay over a sultry minimal beat. Produced by LT Mo and Va, Wale winds up vivid verses for a lover, promising to “modify your energy†before declaring, “If we good, that’s good enough.†Meanwhile, Jeremih carries a soulful and sharp refrain that’s hypnotic and hummable. This marks a reunion for the two stars who turned up together on 2014’s gold-certified “The Body.†Once again, they deliver a banger that borders Hip-Hop and R&B and elevates to new territory at the same time.

July 19, 2019
Emcees of a feather flip birds and words together, right? Well, I’m saying it’s right. And I’m saying that D.Tail is showing some of the same ‘feathers’ that folks like Joell Ortiz & Ras Kass be flashing to the masses…
After a prolific year with his 2018 EP “Disk 2 U Cant Do That” (with Producer Turkish Dcypha) UK Native D.Tail releases his debut LP “Happy Accident.”
A Love Letter to Underground and alternative Hip-Hop. Full to the brim with abstract rhyming, intense wordplay and hyper lyricism across its 40-minute run time with silky smooth soul loops and abstract chops provided by an ensemble of super producers made up of Turkish Dcypha, Marley D, Herda Vim, Klass Klown Karl & Henny Knightz. Includes the single “Is Anyone There? freestyle” and guest appearances from frequent collaborators Britizen Kane & RaggZ not to mention a posse cut which features Joel Ortiz (Slaughterhouse), Awate, Leaf Dog (The Four Owls) & Rass Kass.
