Note:

I am familiar with Frank Ramz, but to be perfectly honest I can’t tell you that I was a big supporter, or that I was up on his skill level.  If I did say that, it would be disenegeous.  He was lost in the pack of my vast iTunes collection, until I heard Quite Frankly.   He made a believer out of me with this release.   Sure he has production from the likes of Blue Sky Black Death and Apollo Brown.  That might draw people to the album, but it’s Frank Ramz who puts on the show.

Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq x Eddie B – Futuristic (ft. Smoke Dza) (prod. by Harry Fraud)

Sometimes there is so much beauty to behold in the most simple of tracks.  Harry Fraud does it again.   The acoustic guitar and the hand claps lead the way for our emcees to release verbal fury. And I can think of few others that have been on such a roll as Shabaam Sahdeeq.  He has been ripping verses better than at any other point in his career.  He, Eddie B, and Harry Fraud have a project dropping soon entitled, The Wolves.

Single You Out: Critcal – The Difference (ft. Tzarizm)

New music from Creative Juice’s own, Critical. The production on this joint is manufactured by Tzarizm. I love the horns on the track and Critical bodies the beat as he differentiates himself from his ‘competition’ or lack there of. This is another artist that heads need to check for off a very talented roster. This is the first single off his forthcoming Quarantine project. Can’t wait…

Single You Out: Quite Nyce – I’m Feelin Myself (prod. by Soulslicers)

Quite Nyce is set to release his latest EP, Cautious, on June 13th, which is just under a week away.  That’s a nice surprise.  But what makes it even better is learning that Swiss beatmakers, the Soulslicers, are behind the boards for the entire project!  That’s going to make this project extra special.  That’s one of my favorite production teams right now.

This song is hot.  You gotta love the flow Quite Nyce has on this track and the sample and beat the Soulslicers utilized.
