Bases Loaded – Lupus Dei x Chuck Chan

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

It's really cool when underground rappers have signature sounds, as much as signed rappers. When it comes to signature sounds, I think AZ, Scarface, Jadakiss. I'm only naming a few, the flows are so  recognized  and could freeze time. Lupus Dei has the same effect, the piercing voice and high end flow captures the audience.

Key pusher Chuck Chan is also one who sticks out of the bunch. He assembled the  soulful samples for the entire home run audio reel. Grandslam has a stolen base from General Back Pain off second. Yea, his style slides into the defense causing a concussion. With this teamwork, IKING opportunities are hard to refuse, though Lup goes dolo for The Process. Hard by street standards, yet ready to spin on radio.

Clockwork is right for anyone focused on their hustle. Notice the comfort with financial talk outside the drug game, outside the country! The artist is most detailed by The Long Road. Intimate demand by the instruments, Lupus opens the vault to lyrics and luxury.

One of the slickest lines from BL, "I give it all that I got/ I'm all that you not/ King Lup I could pull a sword out a rock/"  Back Pain reappears to further the blow out in the fifth inning  bringing it to an early close. This piece has to be added to your SoundCloud or Bancamp collection. Also, follow their pages! Get ready for upcoming album, 1994 by Lupus Dei. Thanks for your feedback, may the Lord  shower you with blessings.

True Stories – Jamal Gasol

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

Lady at the register said, "You're in a good mood." As if, I usually show up grumpy. She ain't mean harm, though. I can't deny, the music is  contributing to the relief. Of course, we have more. Our topic needs no intro, Jamal Gasol put Niagara on his back. 

Every right to call it Home, tragic news welcomes you into the Dirty  Waters, scored by Won87. Next on the key pushing list is another  familiar one, Vinyl Villain. A back to back loop event, minimal effects, all music. In the album titled  joint, Jamal applies the bars while introducing us to Jay Nice. The Delaware emcee gets busy!

Following, is a flashback scene to 2016. You know how your favorite series shows new episodes with parts explaining the past? Despite the time frame, Jamal and producer, Marc Dub preserve the freshness. Our homie Wavy Da Ghawd lays the audio ground on Smoke. Some street poetics with a feature from Estee Nack, a requested emcee in the underground!

Gasol keeps the Hip Hop homage with the lines busting out the margins through Snappin on Sadhugold. A funky track laced by Sadhugold. Our audience gets some narration in front row of All Is Fair, dramatic sounds provided by Illah Dutch. Personality pours out from the artist and beat from Not What It Seems. Could tell it  was fun recording over this EyeDee creation.

Hate to isolate, though Reflection happens to be my favorite on the album. It's so transparent, easy to relate, and tangible harmony by OlMan80zz. You remember the post from Give Up The Goods 2K18...  Prodigy forever remembered with a tribute featuring Rome Streetz  with theCamoflauge Monk reproduced classic Mobb Deep hit. 

This chapter is closed with another friend of ours, Onaje Jordan the producing  pride of the Chi. Another tune with a lot of flavor for the people.  Overall, Jamal shows several sides in this project.  Something differing sounds, never repetitive. Grab your copy anywhere, Bandcamp, major  plats, or Mr 31, himself. Thank everyone for the love and support, Jah  bless!

Trauma Freestyle – Killa Khy x King Merlino

  By

What It Sound Like?

About that time again, the streams need more fuel. We got it for you,  right here! New entry from North Philly featuring one of our RAN residents.  Picture a double layered bridge joining different eras, that's what this song reps. Young bull Killa Khy shows his ear  for music selecting a Mobb Deep classic instrumental, Get Away.

The Trauma increases adding the vet, King Merlino. Instead of bragging about the stripes from the streets, it's a seek for  better living. Easy to relate and agree with. Most rappers in the  generation of Khy would do the opposite. Punchy flow with  consciousness of self puts the lob where Merlino needs it.

"They rather own a Draco than be Draco," King refers to heads that are afraid to fight with fists. There are so many one liners, I'd prefer you get it from them. After hearing this, I could tell Spitta Season is still in session. The future of UFO 215 is solidified. We will keep looking for Killa Khy. Though, he sticks out, even in camou.

 A must stream at SoundCloud! Repost recommended! Due to the shut down, my prior arrangements gotta be rearranged. So let's keep it Philly tonight... Big Thanks to all supporters, I received my first Hip Hop analysis from Rap Seminar. I get to join the other RAN artists that have had one. Praises to Yahweh!

Snowy Nights – Sam Poetry x That Blessed Girl

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

Get your coats ready, we're going into the cold. The past few months  I've been seeing this sweet- looking young lady on the scene more often. Likes and comments on posts of artists I am  now familiar with. Honestly, I thought she was just your ordinary kind, spectator.

Little did I know, this petite package is mean on the keys. Saginaw, MI  has a jewel of a producer know as That Blessed Girl. I checked more beats after I received this song she produced with emcee, Sam Poetry. She got the Boom-bap sound under control. Her Niagara running mate  takes off with bars. Sam spits vintage Golden Era lines with demeanor  to match.  Brings that good, backpack rap feel. 

These two are onto something, would look forward to them continuing to build together. Sources say he is working on his debut EP, Poetry On Mars. Look out for that, wouldn't be surprised to hear more tracks from That Blessed Girl on there. Be sure to listen her beats for consideration when recording upcoming pieces.

Get your Snowy Nights streams for no cost at SoundCloud. All the readers, rappers, bloggers, singers, producers, etc have been big supporters. I always want you to know I'm grateful. Blessings from the Most High!

Tony – Mr Yellow Balaclava x Kheyzine

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

Time to reopen our doors to someone who impressed us with bold creative artwork.  You saw what he can do on Galesi Brescia, added to our wall  last year. We're glad to have another piece from Mr Yellow Balaclava. After his project with Robert Deniro, the follow up features beats by Kheyzine. A transcending producer based in France. I love the international connection, so far.

UK, France, and USA brought together by Hip Hop. Interesting to hear the Boom Bap influence out of Europe. Slickster, Bless Picasso spits over the triumphant instrumental to set off the album. Things get a bit more dramatic during Castro's Reject, a gritty solo by Mav Montana. That money motivator comes along with a another visit from Lunatic. Lun, General Get Cake, and Stuck B break bread on Manny.

Following an English verse by Reindeer, we have some French rap dialect flipped by Bonkar Jones and D.I Barbes Clan. The dynamics keep increasing, right? To further feed your entertainment factor, drops by Lupus Dei, Killy Shoot, and General Back Pain.  Three poplulars at RAN of 2018. Experience vibes from singles to game time, outside. Tony is mostly a hardcore, Boom-bap project. Includes the right amount humility for balance.

Salutes to this international team, get your version at Bandcamp. Thank you, all supporters. May the Lord keep blessing you!
