Single You Out: Just Flowing x MaV – Heartless

I admire Just Flowing’s tenacity and his tireless work ethic.  This is the first time I have featured him on the site but it won’t be the last.  This is the track that I was waiting for him to make.  It’s just some brutal lyricism brought by Just Flowing and MaV.  It’s raw and nasty.   There’s no weak hooks or gimmicks.  It’s just dope.  I am not really familiar with MaV but he sounds good on this track and Just Flowing is getting better with every verse I hear him spit.  Couple his ever increasing lyrical prowess with his work ethic and his other artistic abilities, I think the name is going to be very recognizable in the months to come.

Single You Out: Cane – The Other Side

I can’t tell you all how much I love this track.  I have been playing this joint for a couple on months now and just can’t get enough of it.  Cane narrates the story of three different high school students as those stories indeed overlap.  I love the intricacy and the thought that was put into this track.  It is a dope story telling for sure and I think that all can appreciate.

Praverb The Wyse sent me over Cane’s album, My Universe, a while ago.   The whole album is really quite good but this song to me is the show stopper and shows the true potential of yet another one of the DMV’s talented emcees.

Moe Green caught my ears with his Rocky Maiavia project a few months ago and I always keep my ears open for anymore of his music.  Thusly, I caught wind of his latest, Lionheart.    I quickly gave it a listen and the whole project proves to be noteworthy…again.  Moe Green has become the epitome of consistancy.  He never drops anything less than a dope project.

Note:

This is not meant to be a review.  This is just me lending support to a very talented artist.  King Syze compiled some of his previous work in this release and therefore it’s really not what I would consider “reviewable”.  Much of this material I had heard before, but some of it is new to me.   It is all very dope though.  King Syze has had two very dope albums in the past (Syzemology and The Labor Union).  Both of those releases did not receive the shine that they deserved and for one reason or another King Syze stepped back from music for a while.

But now he is getting back in the studio and thought he would assemble this compilation to re familiarize folks with his music while getting started on a new project.  Definitely make sure you download this if you are not up on King Syze and await his future project.

Interview: IDE (of Creative Juices Music) (2011)

Creative Juices is one of the preeminent crews/labels in independent hip hop.  Their discography is constantly growing.  The roster of artists is getting bigger and better.  Their reputation in the game is solid among both fans and contemporaries.  Most importantly, they are associated with quality.  And while Creative Juices is a collective effort, one man has used his vision to create an indelible imprint on the label.  IDE has been the driving force for making Creative Juices Music what it is today.  He is a man who has sacrificed a lot for his dream that slowly but surely is being realized.  Oh and did I forget to mention he’s a dope artist?

Check the interview to find out where CJM has been, where they are at, and where they are going…

Note:

I was sifting through Itunes a couple of Tuesdays ago and came across this release which was a pretty random find.  I knew Lawz Spoken had just worked with Only One on a project and I wanted to hear what this one sounded like.  I was really blown away with what was coming out of the speakers.  Lawz Spoken laced incredible beat after incredible beat and 9DM just laid them to rest. The phrase “This album goes hard!” is really overused but this album does indeed, go hard.
