If Cocaine Could Talk 4 – RJ Payne

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

Gotta talk in the NORE loud whisper voice tonight. Tonight's hustler made another flip. Dealing with something  that could get you serious studio time. RJ Payne drops off his follow up to ICCT 3. After excelling in creativity, believe it or not he gets more creative.

 Songs named after favorites from New Jack City. The grind attracts  other hustlers. Special mentions by rising Rochester star, 38 Spesh.  Returning Desert Storm sergeant, Paul Cain. Safe to say he knows a thing or two  about the talk. Of course, had too get a plug from legendary DJ Doo Wop. The soft-tone, melodic background set by Neff Beats. 

Cool vibe carried into the first tune which bring back the Empress by  the name of Lioness Jade. She helps the situation settle after the storm by RJ with her blended spoken word and flow. Other tracks that have a type-slow pace is Don Armeteo produced by Brian Blaze. Plus, Dutta Man by Stan Da Man. Still, these beats are hard as Loc Dog in Menace. Energy increases with Frankie Needles, keys handled by Myth. One of my favorite lines from Payne is "Buck 50 if you  turn  the other cheek." 

Notice the Philadelphia jazz culture in G Money On The Court. RJ two steps without stepping on the work from Fonkstarr. Things get slicker on Keisha's Gunn. The bars are consistent and loaded. Salute to Neff Beats for the keys. Fat Smitty reminds  me of the direction Hip Hop was going in 2005-2010. That triumphant sound, production by Firzt Donz.

CMB slows things down, for a little. I like the momentum of this project. Reese Tanaka leads with electric instrumental elements. A major jewel we can't ignore, DITC icon OC lands a verse with our boy. How's that for Big L comparisons? They destroyed the beautiful creation by Chukk James. The Harlem emcee would be honored by Appleton & Peretti. We get one more from Fonkstarr to bring it to an end. Something you gotta drive a 1960's Continental to.

 RJ started with a quarter, now the audio drug dealer reaches the destiny of a Ki. He represents the essentials well in this form of music. His rap co-sign list is steady growing with some of the most impacting lyricists. Well organized album with new and familiar faces. Exclusive purchases directly through IAMRJPAYNE.com  I will provide the YouTube link for our readers. Your attendance is appreciated, blessings from Yahweh! 

Got visuals from the plug, himself! This is heat, I won't hold you. Catch your new favorite video with RJ Payne and OC... Oh yea you see that DITC stu!

It’s A Dirty Game – Jamal Gasol x Lil Eto

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

(ODB Voice) "Thought yah wasn't gon see me?"  Already know I had to touch this heater. Despite the release date, good music is timeless. I'm continuing tunes I wanted to write  about towards the year end. As I catch up, you'll be pleased to hear Jamal Gasol, Lil  Eto, and V Don! All artists we're fans of at RAN. 

Jamal has branched out to multiple producers in  the circuit over the past couple years. Though, the sounds vary, Gasol  keeps the wheel in his lane. Providing the audio pack, Eto rides with him along the four track EP. Nearly every step of the way is scored by V Don. In a short matter of minutes he covered so much in tempo, harmonics, and melody. Full course meal for the emcees to devour.

 The self titled tune is well selected for an opening song.                                                                                                                                                   Beat and  vocals have a sense of controlled aggression. Mr 31 and Lil E exchange verses of street knowledge. A strong way to navigate the project.  Only God Knows steps out the box with Patois  narratives further decorating the Gasol painting. My first memory of this Rochester - Niagara team up is Statistic. As I stated, V Don handled nearly every step of the score. Eto displays veteran production skills, plus the  signature verbals. Jamal at the time was developing a new burst of energy, and you could here it is his verses. 

A feel good tune, that joint you gotta go back to from time to time. IADG closes with a solo from the Piff Man. The transition to music from the block bleeds through Eyes On The Prize. Listen to what the artist's adjustments have been like. Of course, you only get in glimpse by way of art. Let's be grateful they were able to make it through. 

Digital versions of the EP are still available. With that said,  biggups to the team for selling all physical copies! Thank everyone for  their  patience and genuine comments. More prayers of blessings for all!

Got It On My Own (Video) – StarrBux

  By ,

What It Sound Like?

More work from our Featured Artist section tonight. This kid's  ethic is ongoing. The kind of energy I wish I still had, at times.   StarrBux released Project Black to all digital music stores earlier this year. As of now, his latest video from the album is one of my  favorite  tunes. 

Catch the kid moving through his stomping grounds of BK.  Visuals  range from the clean apartment to the urban decorated corners. Some scenes on the block are so exclusive, it looks like      Starr Mazi  got permits to get it blocked off. Actually, it's a one man act, besides the short  cameo of Ryersuperstar. People could see clearly, Starr lives the title of this song. 

The ElmstreetBeats laced track always caught my ear and stuck with  me. It's an energy joint, but not trying to sound like the gimmicks. Got a serious feel, and a theme to get money to. Or whatever is you getting. 

Got It On My Own clear quality and I dig different look with the fonts,  too. Get to YouTube, watch and subscribe. Thank the readers eternally, every reaction means a lot to me. May God continue to bless  you!

Angel Madness – Cocareef x Wiildcat x Onaje Jordan

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

Let's keep the family energy going. In the expanding world of Hip Hop people often get the foundation twisted. They misuse terms and associate actions that are not really part of our culture. Which is why I wanna biggup Cocareef for doing things the right way. He is involving his talented children in his movement. Here's an emcee that stays original and keeps concepts flowing.

Already a good ear for tunes, Reef spits from the heart, setting the example for the youth. Younger daughter, Wiildcat takes a piece of the action with sounds from Onaje Jordan. She backs up the 7th Angel adding another element to chorus and adlibs. Wiildcat gives us a fraction of her range leaving the listeners looking forward to more.

Coca doesn't go to the stu to drop something average. Dealing with fire tracks from Ak, you're inclined to think outside the box. The instruments certainly motivate you to put your best foot forward. Then, you have Lajik gathering all the pieces with his precise mixdown.

 More people are feeling the fever of The Diaz Brothers, and they should. Add this smoker to your digital playlists. Thank you for supporting our artists and site. I appreciate all the comments and want the grace of God for each of you!

Coke Beam – Cocareef x Ambishouz

  By , ,

What It Sound Like?

New week started, I hope yours is well. My privileged position in this new element of Hip Hop strikes again. Did I mention, I’m cool with cool people? 

I got another exclusive from Cocareef, the active RAN family member! During his Diaz Brothers run, he dropped off that bag. Accompanied by more family, you know street-viral producer, Onaje Jordan. And it doesn’t get more relative than daughter of  7th Angel, say hi to Ambishouz. Talk nice she’s a young lady, soon to be High School grad, and direct lineage.

Jordan set a foundation cooking with jazz, as Ambishouz harmonics loop along. Head nod factor is up, feel good music you could two step to, even though the lyrics are tuff. Some real valuables being polished in this tune. Coca staying sucka-free, showing you how to stand on your own ten toes. I’m feeling the slick verses with a simplified hook delivery. Some more slick talking going there, as well. My first time hearing the Cocareef Records first lady tonight, Amaya has the red carpet now.Three different talents working together is good for sake of the song, the paper is sure to follow. 

Get to YouTube and leave your early comments. Thanks for staying up with me, you’re forever appreciated. Yahweh blessing!
