Action Figure – MindFrame x Miskeen Haleem

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

Got a special delivery from one of the busiest producers in our sector. The borough, Queens has enriched the Hip Hop world for decades. MindFrame keeps that same energy today. He's flooding the music sites with heat. If not that, you could catch him cooking up on IG.

Check the new harmonics, slapping drums, and vocal sample   gives me a vintage Rza vibe. This jewel got passed on to Delaware  emcee, Miskeen Haleem. He also delivers that feeling,  you know that  feeling  you  get  when  it  all  clicks.  Something we long for in  this  infiltrated industry. Miskeen brings wit and realism.  No  overused  stories, just pure bars.

He coins a term for so-called tough guys, a really good one. We know most of the big talkers ain't built like that. This artist has some  sneaky one liners you will dig. This song  is a boom bapper's gift.  All  the  elements  of the Golden  Era with a fresh producer and  voice! 

It's easy to listen to, available at all major platforms.  Definitely check out more from  Miskeen Haleem. MindFrame already has some smokers lined up for the season, keep up. Thank all the people with your words of encouragement.  It means a lot to a simple cat like me. Praises to the Most High!

Bad Mind – FALCONCREST

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

I'm just as eager as you to get to this. An original group, to say the least, well due for placement in the RAN catalog. Gotta put my passport to use and check our family over the border in Toronto, Ontario.  Biggups to FALCONCREST for platforms of creativity. They keep each song or set entertaining for the listener, as if it were a book series.

Some know I wrote about DNTE on a tune with John Creasy. My first  time hearing him with his label mate, Falcon Outlaw was Kung Fu Lady. "I'm fresh to death lady I'm Camoflauge Monk lady"   Immediately, if  you  have  a  soul you gotta vibe to that joint! Tonight, we reach a different motel series, though. Take a peek into this single from  Red  Rose  Motel.  With slow, gritty  production  from Giallo  Point.  He uses  the  right  balance of horns, plus acoustics leaving room for the emcees.

 Growing up Jamaican cultured, I have a special appreciation for  FALCONCREST.  Their Yaad mon influence is heavy in the music.  Shows  you lyrical value as they flip the lingo, which is real Hip Hop. Bad Mind gets into the art of concealment. The intro preps you for jewels on the way. I won't give too much up, let's say you can't approach the subject one sided.

Outlaw not only  spits gems, he also uses his voice in spots as an instrument extension. That is a trait of a producer's ear, as well.  Dnte  is the classy gangsta. His gems are most decorated in fly talk. The way they work their contrasts and comparisons is compelling. Don't take it from me, though. Do as the artist says, and play it a couple times.

 Enjoy free spins at SoundCloud make sure you keep up with the High Heat duo.  Don't confuse them with the show, the name derives from a much  greater movement overseas. Thanks for choppin it up  with me.  Blessings from Yahweh!

Sharp Steel – 38 Spesh x El Camino x Che’ Noir

  By , ,

What It Sound Like? 

Now you know  everybody  I  write  about  is  special,  which  is  why  they land here.  Tonight though... We got a Speshal!

 This set consists of individuals that made it from some of the worst  conditions. In the present, they are positioned so well towards the  opposite end of the spectrum. 38 Spesh is living out the structure of the culture, plus the  goals  of  RAN  family.  Always  active,  this  time  including El Camino of  Griselda, and  the  graduated  featured  artist,  Che' Noir in the mix. 

Producing an entire EP and rapping on it takes a lot out f someone. Of course you gotta present the fruits of labor to the people. So, 38 aired the visuals to street exclusive, Sharp Steel. Following a hook of aspiration served by El Camino, the whole sixteen is unloaded by Che' Noir. To ensure the hit, Spesh fires over the track at point blank range.

I'm happy for the Buffalo queen, she got down with an artist that allows her to do Che'. At the same time bringing out the best in her. I had a chance to listen to 5 Shots, the right rappetizer for the upcoming album, 38 Strategies Of Raw.  We're looking  forward  to it,  let's watch  this  new vid for now. Everyone's response has been meaningful, thank you for supporting. May Yeshua continue to bless you.

FICO Score – Madhattan Mayor x IceRocks

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

I don't think the public realizes how me and my team longed for other  cats with bars, substance, and pro appeal. That was years ago, of  course. Today, I'm surrounded by emcees that serve a similar purpose. I'm glad Madhattan Mayor decided to drop off some bars to us. Allow me to enlightened a mention of his, while he focuses on rapping. Not particularly rapping about pushing crillz.

We appreciate how he is able to keep it Hip Hop showing his diversity. One of the coolest beats I've heard in a while, credit to  IceRocks. He keeps polished in the stash. I could see a video for this tune. I want to talk about the topic of the song, a bit. Anybody could talk money, Madhattan is  talking  finances. Dealing with the two options faced by  most, get a career, or be a career criminal. 

This joint is for the culture, and the lines are stuffed with rhymes.  Definitely, a switch up of flow working in his favor. It still has the edge that keeps us away from  bubble gum raps, also elements of a hit  record.  Add it to your lists at SoundCloud, be sure to follow and share. The reactions from readers are real to me. I apprecitate it all.  Blessings to you from the Most High.

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.
