Shottie has teamed up with the EXCEPTIONAL production collective known as Lupara for a new project called, Pulp Nonfiction, which is out now and I will soon be copping.
On the video single, Alkalines, Shottie talks about the necessity of taking a step back, “rehydrating”, and recalculating. Flu laces the track with a heavy bass line, keys, drums, and at the end a jazzy element which like the video, give this track that smoke filled room vibe.
Really dope.
Flashius Clayton and Flu linked up for a dope little project called, Two Piece and a Biscuit, and it’s three tracks of straight dope hip hop. I loved all three tracks from this project, and could have featured either of them, but here’s the track, All About Me. The sample that Flu laces for this track is such a great vibe. It’s got a certain amount of “cool” to it. Love it. And Clayton it puts it into perspective bar by bar…it’s not about you, it’s about me. Great song. Great project.
GeneralBackPain and Flu link up for a new song from a new project, Bovine Too. You get the emcees unmistakable voice and flow, with one hip hop’s best producers lacing a dark, stalking rhythm.
In all honesty, it took me a while to get into GeneralBackPain’s flow, but I have really come to appreciate his unique styling, in the same way I appreciate say, KA’s. He’s a superb rhyme writer and can’t wait to hear the new project.
Producer Flu unleashes the dark and haunting strings that the streets use for creeping around corners and so that Smoovth can drop a couple of effortless sixteens. This is music you use to throw your hoodie up and go for a walk on a rainy night with your headphones on. I love my hip-hop just like this!
Here is some dopeness from Rigz and Flu’s collaborative project, A Piece Of The Action which is out now. I listened to the EP yesterday, and it’s quite dope. A lot of illness packed in there. And while it maybe hard to pick a favorite from such a strong crop, this song featuring Maverick and Eto may very well be mine.
Eto and Flu let loose the video for the single, Sonny. This joint is for those of us who are trying to pull out at a victory. Flu leads with a track driven by the keys but has a knack for adding different elements to keep the track versatile. Eto lends you his first-hand experience and perspective on how to avoid the pitfalls in life to grab the ‘W’.
Check out the collaborative project, Motion Picture.
I am really now just getting up on Eto and what he is bringing to the table. I heard him murk a few features and thought I needed to get up on his projects. I saw this new EP with producer Flu entitled, Motion Picture. And this is the track that they are all talking about. It’s some back alley, watch your back music going on right here with this beat and the features from Crimeapple and Smoovth.
I am going to have to go through his back catalogue now!
