Tony – Mr Yellow Balaclava x Kheyzine

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!

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! 

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

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!
