Exclusive footage from the latest AWoL put on by the homie Matty "Make it Work".Few folks came through to spit some bars, and it turned out pretty cool.In this cypher (in order of appearance) we have Terrific Kush, Mikey D, Harvey Harv, then yours truly).There'll be more cyphers to come, so definitely stay tuned!
First and foremost, props to the homie G-Two for gettin' me hip to this cat.
His name is Darwin Deez. I was just introduced to his music a few days ago and I've been playing his stuff pretty much nonstop. His sound reminds me of first moving to Atlanta and driving down Ponce de Leon's many "artsy" spots or through Little 5 Points. With the weather starting to heat up and me taking various joyrides through the city, I've made a playlist in my iTunes called "Playlist Le Ponce" lol. It's a lot of the Deezster and folks like Kimya Dawson, Lykke Li, etc.
Anyhow, here's a few choice Darwin tracks that have been on repeat lately:
My absolute favorite and the first video I saw from Darwin, "Radar Detector"
A little bit over a year ago, LCD and I dropped "The Relationship", a 10-song LP entirely produced by LCD that chronicles a relationship from beginning to end. While this project was a bit overlooked, it received excellent reviews from those that caught wind of it. Whether you did or didn't, check it out as it's perfect for this Valentine's season. Definitely a piece of work that could only become stronger/more relevant over time (that's how classics work), so spread the word and put others on!
The homie Phresh Ali was considerate enough to provide an ode to the light-skinned women out there for Valentine's Day. Be SURE to listen closely to the lyrics, folks.
While you're at it, you might as well check out the matching eye candy in this photo montage put together by LCD, the producer of the track. You'll appreciate it, TRUST ME!
LCD is back w/ another montage to match a song over one of his canvasses. Here, he couples one of my favorite tracks from the #NoLoafZone mixtape, Dee Boy's "Michael Vick" with a variety of the NFL star's highlight footage. DOPE!
With production from 4Front, PL on da Beat, and LCD, my Partner in Drank Ricosuave is back with a VERY solid project in "Dressing in the Dark". Showing much development from project-to-project (as he should), the content on this collection has a great range over incredible beats. There is definitely something for everyone here, without having to compromise artistic integrity. You definitely want to check this out!
DOWNLOAD "DRESSING IN THE DARK" ====> HERE!! <====
Hopefully by now you're hip to LCD & DJ Uneek's #NoLoafZone, which is QUALITY music from beginning to end. Either way, you definitely want to check out the photo montage put together by LCD to go along with the audio for "Float Up" by the homie Chill and yours truly.
Shout out to the DMV for the inspiration behind this track!
Producer LCD has been killin' w/ a series of videos entitled "Fresh Out he Box", in which he displays his production talent. In case you haven't been following him or subscribing to his videos via YouTube, allow me to catch you up...
Taken directly from LCD's blog. (LCD produced the bulk of this re-release)
H.O.M.E.Grown and FNFG's own Pizo has re-released this highly touted "Wherever I Go" mixtape with a few alterations and new songs (read: an even better product!). I had the bulk of the production on this one so you already know what to expect.
Remember the video for "Where U From" from the homie Blakkwood produced by LCD that I posted a while ago??? Well, it was on WorldStarHipHop!! S/o to the Blakkwood & LCD for that quality move!
This is from my cousin B.P. Cooper's visit to ATL back in October. Now of course you've seen myself and the H.O.M.E.Grown family tweeting the song, but I forgot to put up a post for the good ol' archives...
OF COURSE you already have the project, but in case you missed the well-done campaign, here's the commercial for the homie Phresh Ali's "BANG BANG" project shot and edited by Victor Moore for Westwoods TV.
Ice the Villain...
MC, Howard University alumnus, and breath of fresh air out of PG County, MD.
Remember when you were a child and everything was fun and carefree? Remember when "responsibility" and "reality" kicked in and you realized that life was more than recess, and lunchables? Fast-forward to today...
Welcome to "Venom City". Disease, poverty, hunger, political unrest, and even worse, wack ass music. Things aren't the same anymore. Good thing there's Ice the Villain. Don't think "villain" in the sense of "bad guy", "gangsta", or "ignorant rapper", but when everyone from the once-trusted politicians to record executives are brainwashing and feeding poison, the one bringing something different is probably gonna be viewed as the evildoer, huh? Guess that's me...
