INSIGHT ON-SITE / Deuce Hennessy x Chuck Chan x Kil

What It Sound Like? 

Getting ready for a new week. Always looking forward to opportunity. Before we advance, let's get into one more #HomeTeam chapter. Deuce  Hennessy merge with double headed producer, Chuck Chan and Kil. An interesting approach.

 All vocals by way of Deuce, so we get a cycle of his personality. Let alone, a few vocal samples. The combined production of Kil and Chan is quite instrumental. Collectively, the entirety of each track is strong. Instead of one overwhelming plug in. They are laid back, mirroring the West New York artist.

 A great portion of this piece is revealing. He patterns his style with  compound rhymes, rarely relying on single ended bars. Many witty  cadences pierce through the rough mold of past hardships. Fear or  Respect gives you an idea of why he mentioned depression in Overthinking. One of my favorite emcees, used rap as his cure and landed a record  deal with the biggest label in our culture. Joe Budden battled similar issues and became very successful with Def Jam. Flows are different, but not a bad example of aspiration. Opposition is embraced on joints like I Know They Hate Me and Dish To Pass. The tone shifts, sound of victory is more noticeable. The liveliest beat was saved for last. Deuce goes back in with the bars on Elder Statesman. Standing his ground as a true lyricist.

 I like when projects close with lyrics and heavy percussion. It's like a  cliffhanger leading to a new movie. This album is play list material,  already in mine. Add it to yours. Thank the readers and other talents that support the support. Most High blessings to you and yours! 

Lo – General Back Pain x Chuck Chan

What It Sound Like?

This can't wait any longer, it's a Hometeam thing, and I warned ya!  While heads got gassed by the media attempts to separate our rap community with regional sub-titles I listened to all sections. My ear was groomed early by the authentic sound of Rappin 4-Tay Dru Down, Hieroglyphics, list goes on. Our topic tonight is slick as sleet, General Back Pain is throwback to the names prior.

 The signature designed flow glides along Chuck Chan aligned tracks.  The samples are from retros with variety, including pieces from old spirituals. Chuck keeps his digs in a lane remaining outside the ordinary. You'll even find him exercising his lyrical skills on Crenshaw & Imperial. Track so hard, I don't blame him. IKing partner, Lupus Dei also inks a feature on Golden Flows. Trading fire verses over a melodic overseas extract.

GBP gave you the organic Inglewood welcome with audio from the  natives speaking on real life events. His familiar personality puts you  court side of the action. Yet, the lines in songs like Monster Kody and Lo are nothing common. "I don't take my socks off when I hit it." Hip Hop is a match of proving invincibility, gotta have  room for  humor. Pain raps it up with a satellite radio approach. LOTU has bars for spittas, light drums, and a wavy chorus.

Listeners get to know GBP with Lo at SoundCloud. Chuck Chan production, you can't go wrong. Thanks for supporting the artists and RAN. God bless you! 

The Balance Of Man – Killy Shoot x Free Mind

What It Sound Like?

Back from the Midwest, pardon my absence. Thanks for checking on  me, though. I had some family matters to attend. God is good, we here now.  There are a few albums from the end of last year I wanted  to get to. So, let's start getting caught up!

Killy Shoot is RAN family, all day. Basically got his own key. As an emcee, he is very cerebral. Not to confuse you with Bugzy Nino who appears on this piece. Killy attacks from multi-angles at once. I have noticed layers of growth in his style. Which gives ultimate meaning to the album's name. A story of stories told in rare art form. From playing throwback video games immediately onto another extreme. That moment when child innocence is fading.

Entirely keyed by supernatural producer, Free Mind. Los Angeles is a city of diversity, Free emits such through his tracks. Example, people often would say they want a West Coast track, with intentions of it sounding like Dr Dre. Our hero is not stereotypical at all. These are more mellow, jazz vibes. The drums become aggressive at times. The type of beats any region could rap on. 

As I noted, Supreme Cerebral tags up with Killy, once more for a deadly dose on ThePeril!  They, again prove to sound good together. Another person Big  Shoot sounds good with is Hometeam member, General Back Pain. The Jects has a single sound to it. The beat makes you stop what you're doing, then they spit bars of heat.

Only two rap features, by chance everyone Ill Kill reached out to is from Cali. I just peeped that. Killy proceeds the tour of his upbringing with Blacktop. Unfortunate tragedy resulted in a talented athlete's career and goals cut short. Shine A Light is touching, and lyrical. A close that ignites Hip Hop taste buds.

Keep sharing the project with all your socials, and lookout for more from these talents. Also get used to Hometeam. Thanks for the love and support out there. I pray Yehshua blesses you!

 

What it is – Chuck Chan

What It Sound Like?

I had this issue in mind as part of a Sleeper- series, initially. Time permits for only one artist at the moment. I feel it's a Most Slept-on of the year. Chuck Chan is held in high regard for his beat making beyond the border. Let's give him more respect for the rap capabilities.

"Everybody pump gas, but they stuck with regs" - Infamy

"View from the six same place where they bury em" - Ladies And Gentleman

Just a couple one liners I wanted to point out. Obviously not new to Chuck, unsuspected fans could still appreciate being put on. The bars are so impressive, he only saved enough space for a verse from a single other artist. Hometeam running mate, General Back Pain left a smoky trail on Jewelry. The chemistry is evident.

Being his own producer, Chan had an advantage of the direction the  mood travels. An interesting switch with the self-titled track. The background becomes more dramatic.  Talk About That Sh**  is a beat I would rhyme on. Yet, I wouldn't change what already exist. The sample chosen for Ya Lost It is rare and perfect. The vocal loop what we crave for. Charlie closes the show with a statement. Leaving it up to bars, no hook. Minimal instruments, so you focus on the rhyme.

 Good for the soul and easy on the pockets. Run up the streams at  Soundcloud, and click Follow. Thank for keeping up, everybody. Most High blessings! 

Got It On My Own (Video) – StarrBux

What It Sound Like?

More work from our Featured Artist section tonight. This kid's  ethic is ongoing. The kind of energy I wish I still had, at times.   StarrBux released Project Black to all digital music stores earlier this year. As of now, his latest video from the album is one of my  favorite  tunes. 

Catch the kid moving through his stomping grounds of BK.  Visuals  range from the clean apartment to the urban decorated corners. Some scenes on the block are so exclusive, it looks like      Starr Mazi  got permits to get it blocked off. Actually, it's a one man act, besides the short  cameo of Ryersuperstar. People could see clearly, Starr lives the title of this song. 

The ElmstreetBeats laced track always caught my ear and stuck with  me. It's an energy joint, but not trying to sound like the gimmicks. Got a serious feel, and a theme to get money to. Or whatever is you getting. 

Got It On My Own clear quality and I dig different look with the fonts,  too. Get to YouTube, watch and subscribe. Thank the readers eternally, every reaction means a lot to me. May God continue to bless  you!
