Guess who’s bizzack? It’s the “black matador” himself Grip Plyaz. But this time, he’s stepping out with none other than fellow ATLien, Aleon Craft. For the first single from 6 Pack vol. 1: A Prelude to Purp, Wind & Fire, the two have teamed up with each other and The Weathermen (providing the dope beat) for “Step Out.” At first I was bewildered that these fellows would vouch to go out when they had perfectly good lady friends at home. Quickly learning that the lady friends were going with, however, made it totally make sense. Cameos/pictures with/of Pill, Sean Falyon and tattoo artist Miya Bailey aside, this is a real sweet jam and amidst 982 “brazillian” other songs about going out on a good night and being fresh, this is one of the joints too superior not to want to …

Aside from both being tatted up like nobody’s business, Yelawolf and Travis Barker now have something else in common: they have been in the studio working together. Yesterday, ‘Wolf met up with Travis at his recording studio on the left coast to knock out some new material.

So if Rick Ross and the ghost of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. somehow had a child together, what would that golden boy sound like? Booming and raspy with a heaping plate full of soul, truth and gravy? You got it. Now, none of the lovely folks here at URB are scientists, but when Sean Falyon opens his mouth and wipes the floor with most of the game, it lends some damn near concrete evidence that the far-fetched scenario this review started out with is very possible. This Philly-to-Atlanta transplant has a sound that is distinct and has a great story to tell: his own. Over hard beats from the likes of Shiz Raw, The WeatherMen and SLADE (amongst others), Sean tells stories of the struggle as an artist, a variety of interactions/situations with the fairer sex and losing those …

Last Month, URB.com hosted it’s official Next 100 Showcase down in Austin, Texas where we debuted a number of DOPE new artists.
Among them, was a fresh, young, charismatic rapper known as JINX, reppin’ Seattle by way of Boston. It was his standout rooftop performance that afternoon in Austin that landed him here, in the prestigious URB Blog, and as always you heard it here first.
So, I’ll save the thousand words for something more in depth down the road, but in the meantime if you want to hear some fresh spits, hit the jump for the download.
