SikzPho – “Queen” feat. C. Ali
April 17, 2019
Dang it! I keep slipping out here. Gotta press my ear to the ground harder so I can HEAR from the underground. But thanks to the patience & inbox reminders of homies like PhoBro (of GreaseKydz)… and the work he does with his partner Sikz… dopeness like this “Queen” from SikzPho gets its light and proper shine from heads like me. Smooooth Hip-Hop banger! Check it out for yourself.
And keep checking the site for news on SikzPho and GreaseKydz (GKZ). There’s some coming soon. Very soon. I promise you!

Please excuse me… I mean to say, The Legendary Pete Rock speaks! There was a time that your single wasn’t officially official if Pete Rock did not remix it. His work with CL Smooth, too… c’mon man! Central to this chat with Sway: Pete’s album “Return Of The SP1200.”
A dude from Marvel did the artwork??? Wow!

A Nipsey Hussle T.Mix by Na’Tee. Very appropriate. And very much wanted apparently judging from the number of shoutouts she had to give at the end. Hot. Fire hot! A dope message in the tribute, too. Thank you, Na’Tee. RIP NIP!
Every week I choose a track to remix that you all suggest in my Youtube comments and if I choose a track that you suggested, I’ll shout you out in the video!
