Note:

This is not a full blown review but rather a strong recommendation for you to check this project out.  Now, typically, I wouldn’t advocate a project like this.  Freestyle Fam is for the most part rocking over instrumentals from the very accomplished AraabMuzik.   I usually post original rhymes over original beats, but I am going to make an exception here.  The rhyme skill here is so good, it just can not be ignored.   I seriously believe Freestyle Fam  is in the top five percent when it comes to writing end executing rhymes.   What’s even more exciting is that they can write some of the hardest bars without cursing and with the Armor Of God intact.  That’s right.  They are Christian men who happen to rap…really, really well.  But this isn’t your typical preachy “religious hip hop”.  This is very different.   It just has to be heard…so bear witness.

I have posted their video Bar Fights on here before, but I am going to embed it here again so you can feel it, and then I want you to DL this project (above) .  You will not be disappointed.

Ceasar – Not More Than A Child (Video)

Somebody attempted to promote this on my “About” page which is kind of irritating (c’mon, just email me) but I saw that Anno Domini did the production so I thought I would give it a listen.  This is a really dope and powerful cut.  Caesar really ran with this beat and concept.   The lyrics involve the cyclical nature of violence in families.  Sons and daughters learn behaviors from their parents and then incorporate it into their lives.   Also, whoever directed this video was a real genius,  I think this story and concept was brought completely to life by the camera work and transitions.  Really good job.  If you are digging this track and want to hear more from Caesar, he has a new mixtape out (which I can’t find a link to easily) While We Wait.

Single You Out: Sutter Kain – Man Behind The Mask Pt. 1 (Produced By DJ Bless)

New music from Never So Deep front man, Sutter Kain (DJ Bless).  Every one knows that he is a master at producing music for others but this time he lets listeners and fans get a look at the man behind the mask.  He gives us a glimpse into years prior and what’s gone in to make him the man he is today.    Bless is a perfectionist and pays attention to every minute detail of his music and that really shows in the final product here.  Enjoy this….

Single You Out: Little Vic – Let Alone

artworks-000054787139-429t0c-t500x500

Is this the first offering off of Little Vic’s album, Widowmaker?  Why , yes.  Yes it is!  It’s exciting because I have been waiting for years for Little Vic to put out something official and here it comes.  Let Alone is a somber joint that is also produced by Vic.  He’s got the keys moving as he discusses the caveats of relationships in there different stages.  Truly an artist for the people with his conversational style.  Enjoy!
