If Cocaine Could Talk 3 – RJ Payne

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

While you pile up on those holiday extras, I’m here to make sure you take in some substance. Despite the title, there will be no illegal plays or deadly addictions dealt here. It’s the hustle, aspiration, lethal content RJ Payne refers to as this high end product. Happens to be one of the most sought after products in the street, plus corporate. The artist proceeds to metaphorically describe himself as such. Plenty rappers aim to get brick prices for their verse, so it’s easy to relate to.

Making a pleasant return, RJ blesses All Nighters with a follow up album. With his third investment in the ICCT series, he made a bigger impact. This piece attracted star cameos we’re glad to hear from. From Philly-Hip Hop staple, Tracey Lee, Griselda Records own Westside Gunn, Paul Caine from Desert Storm and the lyrical Elzhi. Some powerful spoken word from Lady Lioness of Urban Poetics. One tune features Big Twins of Infamous Mobb, produced by DJ Skizz  (World Music Group). Might be the more sensitive joint on the album, I believe it’s the only one with a hook. The rest are straight bars of Payne!

Other well selected producers are FonkStarr of Crummie Beats from Virginia. Four Limbs across the pond in the UK, the Brooklyn producer Asethic with souls sounds. Another out of  BK is Stan Da Man,made hits for a long list of spittas. The closing track was brought yo you by P.A. Dre, all heavyweights. 

You have to appreciate How Payne is able to display different angles of rap. He has bars, beat selection, flows, professionalism, and something for the gutter. Easy to notice the hard effort put in to achieve this lyrical awareness. This is a fun listen with plenty of “You heard what he saids?” The free listen link is available at YouTube, still purchase your copy of this powerful series. The love is spreading more each day, I appreciate you joining me. Blessings of the Most High to all readers.

Garlic Wings – The Musalini X Risktaker P

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

This week is still rolling with fly tunes. So many to get to, so little time. Fortunately, tonight I’m able to mention an artist I have been wanting to introduce All Nighters to. From Washington Heights, NY, The Musalini has been expanding his travels through music. He has that classic hustle that all our topics share. Creative ways of pushing his merch, and constantly throwing pop-ups!

His popularity with the streamers has been existent, leading to biggups from large names in the business. For one to take notice of the likes of Roc Marciano, his content is usually hard body. This approach happens to be more subtle, yet just as dope. Garlic Wings talks to the ladies, something our site could use, for a change. Jo$e Cienfuego$ got a smooth sax over the one-drop drum pattern. Makes you wanna scoop lil mama right up. Then, Risktaker P knows what to sing and how to sing it. That hooked gets tattooed on the brain.

Mus  ain’t to be taken light for the softer tone single. He still gives it up from a goon’s perspective. More of the hard joints could be found on the latest album, MSG. A project that sounds promising. For now, click away on this link and pull shorty close. 

Than you to everybody checking for the write-ups. Artists, fans, bloggers and all in between. The kind words mean a lot to me. I only want the best my people, God bless!

IKING (This Weekend) – Lupus Dei X General Back Pain

  By ,

What It Sound lt Like?

I hope everyone is stuffed well with meals. Now, make some more room for these goods! Tonight is about indulging, like kings. IKING, in fact. Stemming from two potent appearances by Lupus Dei on album Holy Hands by General Back Pain. The Jesrey-Cali conduit knew the chemistry would lead to a sequel. 

It was such a smooth connection, one of the new titles plays off the previous EP.  Holy Land is just one out of the pack filled with original lyrics and flows. Safe to say, no one is sounding like this. The contrast in voice tones have a genius result. They each possess grown-man bars over a prestige beat selection.

The entire track list was produced by Matthew Godfather, The Historian and Vinny Knuckles. Pure sounds of authentic Hip Hop from song to song. These instrumentals sound as if they are telling stories, themselves. Add emcees as such, you got a project of poise. Actually, the duo compliments the piece with minor acting. Just enough to complete an effective interlude.

This is a well put together album, lyrics, beats, content, and personality. It’s really for all ages, there is always a line to relate to. Let alone, my four year old recognized one of the rapper’s voices.  So, it has the skills for adults with simplicity for family of any age. I, personally can’t wait for them to put this or another joint in the stores. As for now, show your support at SoundCloud. Thank you to all visitors, return viewers included! Your reactions keep this going. Blessing from the Most High!

#GMGBiggRound-The Preface (Official Video)

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

Couldn’t stay away for long. Too much uncharted talent to connect with. Thank you for your patience, all who inquire about write-ups. I aim to get to you while juggling life’s obstacles. On that topic, our artist tonight has a heater about tribulations. Let’s take a trip back to Louisiana. We land in Coushatta, meet #GMGBiggRound.

Here’s an emcee with his heart on his sleeve. Pain pours through his content and voice. Authentic, never mistaken for fraud. While many would have taken the invincible route, BiggRound embraced his weakness. Battling health issues since a child, the artist developed a lyrical weapon to fight for him. 

Not only is the music tangible, I appreciate the video scene playing out the lyrics from the verse.  JaeRocTheTracka captured the prescriptions scattered on the table. If I’m not mistaken, the pistol symbolizes when BiggRound attempted suicide. You know I dig the spliff and notepad for the rhyme catalyst. Interesting fact, JaeRoc also banged out this emotional track. He knows how to get the best out of both talents.

Readers realize, I like when someone can twist something with a bad rep into something positive. Even the name BiggRound is creative, using ammunition as reference to his artistry! The tune got spiritual vibe, inspirational. The Preface is in all your favorite online stores, definitely a joint to add to your library. Heavy thank you to everybody locking in, the love is real. God bless!

Hannibal Hus (Reprise) – HusKingpin {Produced By Robert Deniro}

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

There seems to be a challenge going on that I’m late to finding out about. I almost get the chance to be a total spectator, since this is between producers. The writer in me won’t leave it alone, though. The first version I had the luxury to hear is from Robert Deniro. Cool when the future legends hit you with exclusives.

When I opened the link, I heard a joint I thought was completely official. I was ready to send off the cigars and champagne bottles. Rob got a winner with his mix. The keys are moving over a marching snare. This melody is on replay in my head. Hus Kingpin vocals are right in the paint. He’s not far away from hearing it, if he hasn’t already.  The All Nighters would agree with me, Hus and Rob got a banger waiting on them. 

Say less, tag these artists with the song link. We support each other in this movement, we see everybody eat. The fans show heart-felt  support, thank you. May the Lord keep blessing you!
