Jarell Perry releases First Time in anticipation of Full Length Debut, Simple Things (MP3)

 

While the countdown continues for Jarell Perry’s full length debut, Simple Things, to be released on March 18th, he is offering up another taste of his album.  The track, First Time, features Seattle based up-and-comer, Nacho Picasso, Duck Down Alum, Torae, and Bay-Area battle rapper Locksmith, musing on the trappings of ‘young love.’  

Between the 808 playing with the almost ‘ethereal’ atmosphere laid out, the contrast between Jarell’s croonings and the verses dropped in by the accompanying rappers give the track more depth through subsequent listens.  If the mission was to help round out Perry’s musical profile and personality to give you a better glimpse of what you may expect on the forthcoming album, then mission accomplished.

El Gant and Tek on Friday the 13th “Say Hello To The Bad Guy” (MP3)

El Gant & Tek (of Smif-n-Wessun) – “Say Hello To The Bad Guy”

You know that when a track opens with a quotable from Richard Kuklinkski, a/k/a “The Iceman,” one of the most notorious and ruthless contract killers to which the world has ever seen, that the lyrics to follow are going to be nothing short of ruthless. On “Say Hello To The Bad Guy,” Friday the 13th comes in just in time, especially for two NYC veterans. “Say wassup to the bad buy, say goodbye, middle finger to the sky, live wicha hands high/ Welcome to the wild side gutter, slapped by Gibson and the mother fu**in’ Glover.” Stay tuned for more leaks off Gibson & Glover, scheduled to drop this summer!

The Away Team, Scars & Stripes (Review)

The Away Team

Scars & Stripes

Released by IWWMG/Jamla/Duckdown


North Carolina might have saved hip-hop for a year or two (too bad that was circa 2003 or 2005 depending on your entry point). Khrysis is one of the best producers of the Fruity Loops era. That compressed sound was made for the digital generation and is still easy on the ear when done right. 9th Wonder & Khrysis are descendants of the Native Tongues, that was clear from the outset, why else would the marquee group of their movement be called Little Brother. But the cast on the fractured in-between has to be Da Beatminerz' crackling sound which kept the Boot Camp Clik on the borderline of backpack and blackjack; an export that worked exceedingly well with the Hall Of Justus massive's burgeoning endeavors.
