The Fuego Tape – Banks Davocki

  By

What It Sound Like?

One of the craziest things happened to me this week. I got a submission from an artist I haven't written about, as yet. Forgive me, initially I didn't realize who I was receiving the pack from. I knew the name sounded familiar, still. The first joint that plays is a banger I've been rockin to for a month or so. Yup, I heard that open to Thankful drop. "Wait a minute, this that wave, !" I'm saying to myself.

Small world, huh?   More reason to be grateful for my position. Banks Davocki is a breath of fresh air, some chilly air from Niagara Falls, NY. We're keeping the young world energy tonight. You'll sense it from the beat selection, joints to keep you moving. One of the producers is resurfacing from earlier this week, Kid Ocean.  Also building the vibe to this body of work, Cashmoney AP, Sult4n, Mubz Beatz, Almighty Beats, Ezra, and Cormill. 

TFT is versatile, covering extremes from from hard times to stunt mode. It's for young cats staying focused, getting business. Davocki is an artist that has substance. The category his tunes are placed in is usually overlooked for bars. He makes sure you don't look past him. Creativity pours out in X - Files featuring Lingo Da God. The track pays homage to the 90's series, the emcees roll through situations of ex girlfriends. 

Relationships play a common role through this album, he's got his hands full with the ladies. Rocking With Me gets the skin crawling, an anthem for anyone striving. Tunes such as Never Had with Jynx and I'm Too Busy featuring Luck Luciano bring me back to a younger me. Recognize the connections? Can't forget Mark Ant, Tru DLN, and SG Lingo for adding fuel to the fire. 

This piece has an inspiring vibe with choices for singles. One already a hit in major platforms. Look forward to more Banks Davocki. Get your copy at your favorite digital music store. Thank you eternally for all the positive words from the viewers. I pray for the best in your lives, bless up!

Adult Swim – Won87 x Jamal Gasol

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

Peace everybody! It's hard to explain this feeling, I just don't want it to go away. Heads are making it out or through the struggle doing what they were blessed to do. As result, we get feel-good music in return. No delay, I had to bring back a great producer with one of the memorable albums this year. Won87 brought us some heat with the Robert Deniro co-op, Mean Streets. Our homie is back with one of the coolest tracks. This was so clever.

The Loop Killer sampled this theme from one of the Cartoon Network hit segments. The way he built the beat around it is complete. It's smooth, simple, and got the right drum pattern for that neck rock. Feeding your Hip Hop taste buds further, he linked up with the Upstate All-Star, Jamal Gasol for this one. You know how he give it up!

Unfortunately, underachievers don't feel the same way he does. So, Mr 31 addresses those looking for his misfortune. Here at RAN, we ride for our own. So, we just gonna make them more mad with these posts. Feel me? Gasol Proceeds to spit that Piff, capitalizing off his run-ins. We all could relate, there is always a hater lurking when someone's intention is good.

Enjoy this loosey for free at Soundcloud. Follow if you haven't already, share with your people. Thanks for everyone's support, more artists on the way. Nothing but blessing for our readers from the Most High!

Noise Kandy 2: The Re-up / Rome Streetz

  By

What It Sound Like?

Hope everybody is having a worthy week you deserve. Look around you, there is so much happening. One could choose whether they want to get lost in the fake reality TV folly or go for something real and positive. The All Nighters elect the real and positive. Here is a guy that chose his own destiny and it paid off. We have a return from Rome Streetz, a Brooklyn lyricist.

I had the pleasure to listen to his recent project and your boy can rhyme! True throwback to the game, has the edge and substance. Beat selection is soulfully soothing. Some of your favorite producers contributed to this symphony. Previous certified RAN appearances The Historian, Vinyl Villain and Wavy Da Ghawd. I take pleasure welcoming NCL - TM and Loman also talented producers. Last time we saw Illah Dutch here, it was his vocals with Jamal Gasol. This time, his beat does the talking. 

Rome rolls dolo from track to track with the exception of Columbian Neck Tie. A smoker with Hip Hop royals Illah Ghee and Agallah! By the song titles, his approach won't be taken lightly. Example, Dead Face Notes and Foaming Out The Mouth. Plain to see, Streetz is getting paper killing these rhymes. One of my favorite sad movies, Sonny Carson gets some dialogue placement on the final song, Piss Moet Master. Gotta dig the creativity. 

Six songs of culture. A street graduate using his past hardships as a tool in his artistry. Backgrounds sounds of loops, Boom Bap, that Golden Era feel. What I really like about Rome Streetz, his NY flavor is unsaturated. He doesn't care to do the outside distracting trends. This project already got them coming back at Bandcamp.

Be sure to get your digital version, now. Got a feeling we could expect vinyls, soon. Thank the All Nighters for all your feedback. Salutes to Sean Munoz, a master mind in this powerful movement. Blessings to you and yours from the Most High

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.

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

  By ,

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!
