Single You Out: The My.N.O.R.S. – Make It By (ft. Chaundon)

Nice beat.  Good word play.  Chaundon.  And A nice chorus to tie it all together.  Not a bad debut in my eyes when listening to My.N.O.R.S. single, Make It By.   It’s actually pretty refreshing.  There’s been a shortage of well construed songs this month and these guys answered the call.  I particularly like the way the producer, DP incorporated the bongo/congo instrumentation.

Check The Discography: Chaundon

For this rendition of ‘Check The Discography’ I wanted to highlight the releases of one, Chaundon.  Chaundon has been hard at work on his craft for quite some time and I don’t think that effort gets the recognition it deserves.  Chaundon cut his teeth in this hip hop game much the same way Skyzoo and Torae have, as they are his contemporaries.  He has been incredibly resilient in a very hostile industry and continues to craft ‘his’ music the way ‘he’ wants.   His albums and mixtapes are sure to appease even though most fickle of hip hop heads.

My personal favorite album is, No Excuses.   That album is chocked full of big beats and personality.  In terms of my favorite track…I am going to go with 7even off of Black Dynamite.   That is such a creative track in which he lays out the Seven Deadly Sins as his children.  Really dope!  So check his discography, give it a listen, cop the albums you want, and raise your glass to the man, Chaundon.

Note:

Our reigning champ, M-Dot, shot this project over to me many moons ago, while he has been galavanting around Europe on tour with the likes of that group you may have heard of,…Slaughterhouse.  Unfortunately it has taken me this long to get to do a write up on the project.  Really, Layer Cake, is a collection of guest spots, features, and rarities that M-Dot has put out or been a part of in the last 12 months.  While it isn’t an album, there are plenty of dope tracks collected together worth talking about.
