Rhythm Roulette With Hit-Boy (Video)
June 26, 2019
Damn right they start this off with “Racks In The Middle” (produced by Hit Boy) playing. RIP Nipsey Hussle.
When Hit-Boy graced the stage of the legendary Watch The Throne World Tour in 2011, Jay-Z famously announced that Hit, producer of the Throne duo’s classic “N****s In Paris” record, was the only guest artist to do so to that point. It was a hell of an honor, especially for a non-vocalist, which Hit still was at the time.
Since then, the IE Inland Empire native has gone on a massive tear, producing arena-rocking anthems for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, Drake, the late, great Nipsey Hussle and more. And he’s done it all without making the same beat twice.
On this Guitar Center edition of ‘Rhythm Roulette,’ Hit-Boy brings that dexterity to the proving grounds.
Enjoy.

B Leafs – “The Cloth” feat. Dark Lo x Cormega
June 24, 2019
Good move to get a Golden Era vet like Cormega on the set. Producer/photographer Bostonian B Leafs pulling clicks on the ‘Cloud and getting his clique some attention with this one. Check out “The Cloth” – also featuring Philly’s own Dark Lo.

070 Phi – “Good Contracts” (Video)
June 21, 2019
Another one… from the Mass Appeal Starting 5… specifically, from 070 Phi. This “Good Contracts” visual is for the single off his EP entitled “Outside” (linked below).
The concept behind “Good Contracts” is keeping yourself out of a vulnerable position where somebody can take advantage of you. In the video, one of the characters involved himself with a women that he met Outside and brought her to where he makes his money. His relationship with her was like a bad contract because all she wants to do is take advantage of him and rob him for his money. Metaphorically speaking my character is a good lawyer that helps him out of his situation.

Nuez – “Avirex” feat. Freddie Gibbs
June 21, 2019
Straight outta Broward County (Florida, USA), the DJ/Producer/Engineer Nuez is doing double-duty – beatz AND lyrics – on this single he calls “Avirex.”
Not really worried if Freddie Gibbs can keep up with the pace, but this Nuez cat’s delivery and this beat… relentless… with NO let up!

Mr. Cheeks – “Greatest Gift” feat. Stephen Marley
June 21, 2019
Before you even ask… Yeah, THAT Mr. Cheeks… from Lost Boyz. Listening to the track might make you ask again. The Golden Era vet took sort of a different vector with the rhyme style on this one. The “Greatest Gift” (featuring Stephen Marley) could be that Mr. Cheeks is still out here turning in dope music. It just happens to also be the title of his latest jawn.

88-Keys – “That’s Life” feat. Mac Miller x Sia
June 21, 2019
Grammy Award-winning producer 88-Keys with a new track, “That’s Life,”featuring the late Mac Miller and Sia. Mac got inspired and the effort really touched 88-Keysand Sia. Look at what 88-Keys had to say about it.
“That’s Life” is a song which sums up the sentiments of the music I’ve been working on over the past few years. We all have to forge through the good, the bad and the ugly. Mac came up with the concept for the song stemming from a conversation we had in the studio about relationships as we shared with each other what made the ones we were in at the time special. I played the song for Sia and she personally identified with the sentiments of the song and felt strongly about contributing her own thoughts on the subject matter. At the end of it all, my dear friend Mac and my new found friend Sia helped me make a song to touch the world and help many deal with adversities we’re faced with, but “That’s Life.”
