Tha Soloist x Dseize – “The Clue”
March 13, 2020
They might salute you for your hunger
Then shoot you in the stomach after greeting you as ‘brother’
Yessir! Respek on the name Tha Soloist for the realest HARD BARZ!!! And if you followed happenings up to and beyond loss of Guru (of Gang Starr), then keep your head on a swivel while nodding to this jawn. Shots fired!
Jersey City (NJ, USA) stand up! And shout to Rob Dseize (pka @Dseize) for the track (that WORK… coming out of Sweden)!

Big Flip Papi – “U Really Luv This Life?”
March 12, 2020
About that life? Nah, eff that. Do “U Really Luv This Life?” Are you sure? Maybe you are, until you hear BFP speak truth on ‘that life’… and he is shouting out people who are people who are paying the price for living the life, taking the risks… AND he’s writing out the prescription for [trying] to stay ‘healthy’ when you are in the life.
Do you love what comes from being a hustler?
BFP takes you into his jail bids and what comes with the fast life.
Okay, let me spoil it: You gotta be INSANE if “U Really Luv This Life?”
This is one of those real talk joints. More so than the bars, lean in for the realness!
Off the “Bullpen Therapy” album (out now).

I’m Old School and I’m New School. Pass the Beck’s…
Ha! You see the title. And you DON’T want it. You just think you do!
Another Starang Wonder collabo with Da Outfit. Somebody call Par Millz for the pepper on this track. Oh, already on it. Good seasoning is assured then!
Smooth with the roughness. Just serving justice… Got Righteous on the track!

Smooth B – “Before” (Explicit Version) [Video]
March 11, 2020
I ain’t f**king with you, if there is no synergy.
Over 30 years in the game, and Smooth B (of Nice And Smooth fame) is still notorious AND glorious! This time he is a solo act. No Greg, but Smooth is Nice on the mic with this “Before” (Explicit Version) jawn. Salute to The Legendary Smooth B.
I subscribed after watching this. Respek on the name Smooth B #HowToFlow #LikeThis

Ras Kass – “Silver Anniversary” (Prod. By Twiz The Beat Pro) [Video]
March 10, 2020
How you gone be a menace it when ain’t no MEN in it? Oh they WOMENaces…
Yeah. We have been getting 25 years of pure venom like that from Ras Kass!!
It’s been nearly a quarter century since Soul On Ice and they still can’t handle the truth. In fact, the intervening decades since Ras Kass dropped his classic debut have only validated the poisonous and panoramic vision of the waterproof MC, who was immediately hailed as the West Coast’s answer to Nas. And with the Nature Of The Threat growing more real by the minute, there couldn’t be a more necessary time for Soul on Ice 2.

TRIBEZ x Maniac – “Fire” feat. AG x El Da Sensei x Pawz One
March 10, 2020
I took the long route, straight from my Mom’s couch. Now I’m global.
Maybe everyone doesn’t feel this way, but there is something extra special about a gang of thorough emcees swinging on a beast of a beat and beating it the f**k down!! Just like the way AG, El Da Sensei, and Pawz One “Fire” on this track with TRIBEZ.
From the “Paragon” project (out now).

Fredo Pounds – “Windows” (Prod. By Pots & Pans) [Video]
March 10, 2020
There is only one thing not to like about this video… NOTHING! Everything is love! Even down to giving camera time, in the video, to the owner of the hood spot where he shot the video. I imagine they (Fredo Pounds, GrecTvFIlmz) envisioned how they could do the vid with footage shot in the store, approached the guy and told him of their plans, and dude was down; esp. with a shout for his biz, since it will likely get more visits as Fredo ‘Pounds’ the pavement (and the Internet ‘super highway’) for more visits for himself and GrecTvFIlmz. By all the “Windows” shopping they will be doing (e.g. promo work), everyone benefits! That’s how you do good BUSINESS people. Let the blessings that flow from your work bless others #RealLabor #RealFruit #ShareFruit #BLESS
Plus, dude got HELLA BARZ! Hmm. Should we follow all this ‘blessed’ talk with ‘hella’ though? Well, we’re doing it #BecauseHellaBlessed #ThatPartToo
Repek on the names Fredo Pounds for the spits that hit HARD, Pots & Pans for the beat that let a real emcee EAT, and GrecTvFIlmz for the film for him!
Buffalo, New York emcee, Fredo Pounds, just released a new mixtape titled “Intent To Distribute.” Check out this visual off of it for the song “Windows.”
“Intent To Distribute” is available now on all platforms.

Chika – “Industry Games”
March 10, 2020
If you dig around, you are gonna find out about this chick Chika; slick talking, esp. with the BARZ (and maybe with your girl, uh oh)! Far from ordinary with the tongue (tongue in cheek for real). Southern spitter from Alabama. Click play above and hear another example of how an emcee is supposed to swing a [yellow] hammer on a beat and make a hit!

Eto x Jai Black – “Bad Publicity” (Freestyle) [Prod. By Nottz]
March 10, 2020
The real shooter is the one shooting back.
Daaaayumm!
You know how you can even feel when real spitters get in their stance before they start rapping… before the barz start flowing?? Well, if you don’t pay attention from the tippy top of this hot shot. You can feel that the rap is gonna be top choice as the beat is building (banging beat all by itself, by the way)… then “yeah, unh-unh-unh, give ’em some”… and they DO!
Respek on the names Eto, Jai Black, and super producer Nottz for this “Bad Publicity” work!

Tobe Nwigwe – “Slow Down” (Video)
March 9, 2020
Life ain’t easy. Facts. Need to “Slow Down” and reconsider: What got you here won’t keep you here. THINK!
Doesn’t that sound like some deep wisdom? I agree. Wish I had said it. All the above came from me watching the video embedded above that… So, “Slow Down”… at least long enough to enjoy this Tobe Nwigwe work.
