This video is the title track from NBS and Snowgoons upcoming collaborative album, Trapped In America. There’s definitely some poignant imagery and lyricism to be had on this track as it pertains to abuses of authorities upon the Black Community in many different locales. It’s powerful stuff laced into your daily hip hop dose. It certainly helps that the Snowgoons laced a real banger.
The new album drops on July 4th and don’t think for one second that’s a coincidence.
Who is on a bigger roll than Starvin B? No one. That’s who. He’s an emcee that is at the top of his game right now and when he flips over this Fel Sweetenberg beat, you can hear what all the fervor is about. The talent is real and I am sure he hasn’t even quite started yet. The sky is the limit for Starvin B.

King RA and Bunty Beats build on an old school foundation with new school flair with their latest track, Chillin. It’s artists like this who are keeping hip hop’s good name clean. Bunty provides the head nodder and RA attacks the mic. It’s just fundamentally dope which is the whole concept of their album, Back To The Essence.
There’s some intelligent music coming from Saga. Make A Choice, in both song and video, demonstrate the choices and the consequences we face. But is also speak on the greater impact of those decisions if you listen hard enough.

William Cooper drops some visuals from his forthcoming album, God’s Will. He’s got some divergent styles cooking on this track with Young Zee’s abrupt flows mixed with his own more fluid delivery. We are anxiously awaiting for his album to hit shelves on May 5th. Make sure you check that.
It’s time to buck a few trends and Jelani Lateef may very well be an artist capable of doing just that. Are you tired of verses dedicated to money, drugs, and hoes? Lateef has the cure for what ails you. It’s all about lyrical content and concepts when it comes to this choice cut. This is my first time hearing from Lateef and I also heard a little bit of his album, Cold Days and Dark Nights. is music is very consistent….meaning consistently good. I am definitely going to listen to the album in full when it drops on April 30th. He’s a breath of fresh air.
Can a man get some elbow room here? Red Pill is about as distinct as they come, both as a person, and as an artist. He is not going to live or make music to make other people happy. He is going to make the music he wants to make. Either you relate or you don’t. His music is certainly introspective and more than a tad self-deprecating, but that’s what makes him a must listen. He spits on what he knows and in his own words, he would rather live for ten years doing what he want, than live for seventy doing what someone else wants him to do.
