Street Light Therapy – Criss Jrumz

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

You'll catch me trying to gain an extra hour out each day. Waking up  early and going to sleep late as possible. If everything was sweet, I  wouldn't have to do so. During those late nights, music is usually  provided  therapeutically. That's exactly what Criss Jrumz brought us with his new album .

 Rap is referred to as a sport, though Criss ain't playing!  Boxing cadence reels you in the DJ Uli G production,  immediately. Lyrics never lacking in this department. This guy later goes on to say "I reach heights that's Heavenly/ My word is my bond I think felonies/"  A glimpse of what to come. After an impacting intro, he reveals issues from a lady of the past with Escape Love. A feature from soft singing Kiahni Aaliyah. Sounds like a situation I been in, as well. Plus, Yondo Music makes the type of beats I rhyme to. 

Things get more mellow in Too Much Time. One of many layered by  Yondo Music. Reminds me so much of the 90's vibe. Spitting sharp bars over that smooth sax, boom bap. Jrumz does an amazing job at matching mood to music. He sounds like whichever beat he is on. Bliss gave him a cold, late  Autumn track. He puts love in the flow addressing Hate. Complimented by chords from Johnny Guazz.  The artist alters the flow for Vintage, a jazzy piece by DJ Uli G. He also has several appearances.

We get into a mafioso sample with What's Real. A tune for the backpackers, Hip Hop fundamentals. Poes Example is all poetics, displaying the literary skills. Criss gives you a theme for a thriller film in Reign. A Climatic build towards the curtains closing, tag team keying by Bliss & Def Starz. You guys remember Pain, the video we viewed last year! Now, the addition of a young lady, Jay London vocals lightly chanting in the background. Dopeness accenting the impression left by CJ.

 Our Soul Ground brother leaves us with anthem material for the last  joint. Stay Shining is a victory foreshadowing the next tournament. It's great knowing Hip Hop still lives, you will enjoy this album tomorrow! It will be available in all digital music stores. Watch the video to Therapy today. Thanks for the sit down,  Jah bless all of you.

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!

Levels – Bless The General x Emaculate Vernaclucar

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

That's right, doubling back on em!  

This underground is is deeper than meets the eye. Each corner turned  there's uncharted flows and approach to the rhyme. We'll hear  from some artists that are more  technically sound than a Euro-step! Bless The General could be heard all ends of Connecticut with his music and multi-hustle. 

EMACulate Vernacular is the name that ultimately sums up the  character.  Words are  extremely calculated from annunciation to syllable. The Georgia native has a grass roots style. Wit and double entendre loaded bars, a sure student of the game. They kept it as live over the orchestra, structured original beat.

Bless has a style to go in almost any lane, EMAC has that raw desire to  spit bars. Shows that the depth of  this keeps expanding. By the streams they've been getting, things are on another Level for them.  This smoker is available on all digital platforms. Check the YouTube link provided. Share with your people. Thanks for passing  through, blessings from the Most High!

Lost Time – #GMGBiggRound

  By , ,

What It Sound Like? 

Since there's so much going on, tonight's title speaks volume. Who  doesn't know someone they vested time in, who wasn't deserving?

Perhaps, your child was born while you did a bid. The scenarios are endless, readers get the point. It's a touchy subject, #GMGBiggRound is never afraid of a little tension. The surreal emcee is still rocking with
JaeRocTheTracka and they dropped off the new visuals.

BiggRound grabbed a winner from producer, TnTXD. Organic melody with traces of instruments used in praise songs. Heartfelt lyrics are poured out on this track, well suited for the scenery. It looks as if the artist has some kind of past connection with the home or street in the treatment. 

Watching the vid while listening to each word, it puts you on the porch with him. The homies at Good Music Gang made this  easy for us at YouTube. Show some love, leave a reaction. I'm always grateful for the support from the All Nighters. Yeshua  blessings!
