Cymarshall Law and His Theories of Hip-Hop

Being passionate and aggressive about emceeing is old school. Nowadays, if young cats don’t want to hear about beefing, battling or brawling, you’ve got to be as fresh and new-fangled as they come, or–you’re gone. Cymarshall Law has wrought crossover acclaim and continues to demonstrate that his skills speak for themselves. For Cymarshall, it doesn’t matter where he’s from or where he’s going; he’ll be around for a long time. Taking time out while on tour in Europe, he discusses with URB what has gotten him to this point. …MORE

Cymarshall Law x DJ JS-1 – “Harder Than Thou” (Video)

There is always a certain grittiness that exists in letting the world know you don’t give a damn about what they think about you. That hard edge exists in hip hop videos whose artists aim to please, piss people off, or could care less what they do for their audiences. Either way, we get it.

Cymarshall Law’s freshest release from his new Creator’s Kid EP features the New Jersey native (by way of England) stating precisely why he will not jump through hoops to appease any bigwigs, fake friends, or battle emcees.

Over a wickedly-melodic organ and a recognizable Mobb Deep-derived hook (inserted by DJ JS-1), the urgency of the beat gives Cymarshall a platform to creatively showcase his frustration in a one-man boxing ring fashion.

K. Sparks & G.C. – A Day In The Life (Review)

K. Sparks & G.C.

A Day In The Life

Released by HiPNOTT Records

Not to jump on the bandwagon--okay, that actually is EXACTLY what is going on here, but please pay attention--K. Sparks is definitely worthy of being a freshman next year (should XXL choose not to change the line-up after this review, of course). With A Day In The Life, this New York artist teams up with producer G.C. to give listeners just that: an album that illustrates a day in the life of the/an aspiring MC. Most of the time, people cringe whenever the word "conceptual" and "album" are put together (kinda like "romance" and "novel," right?) but Sparks actually does a great job.

Cymarshall Law – Creators Kid EP (Review)

Cymarshall Law

Creator's Kid EP

Released by HiPNOTT Records


Cymarshall Law is not out to please everybody. Hell, the one person who almost accomplished such a feat (undoubtedly the dude who first put peanut butter and jelly together) was quickly discouraged when God caught on and decided to make peanut allergies super-duper bad. He doesn't have to though, Cymarshall has what it takes to garner himself life-long fans by the boatload. The Creators Kid EP is not about being the hardest or about being the most fashionable; it's about being creative and with every song having a very clear message/theme Cy succeeds in doing so.
