Ugly Heroes "Ugly Heroes" album review

Hip Hop always had a way of speaking on behalf of the common man. Somewhere around the "Bling Era", that voice has began to get hoarse. Hip Hop began to become stale and stereotypical. This made Hip Hop become a "villain" among society (as well as towards fellow hip hop artists and fans). The genre needed someone to save it. It needed a hero for a ugly job. This is where Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent and Red Pill combine powers and form Ugly Heroes. The lyrics on this album are raw and define what hope is all about. The essence of overcoming within any obstacle is within every single song. Red Pill's verse on "Desperate" referring to popping bottles shows the parallel of vanity and reality.  Also, Verbal Kent gives a "hot debut" to anyone who has never heard of him before this project on "Hero's Theme". Apollo Brown created some bangers on this project (Push and Hero's Theme were classic).  "Never Go" is a track that will not only inspire young love, but inspiring artists as well. The chemistry (lyrics and production) are so on point. Any blue collar worker can love and appreciate this project. After hearing this project, Ugly heroes are here to save the day!

MAJORS "Shots fired (Reloaded)Vol.2" mixtape review

With the government and (many) churches manipulating the common people, someone needs to stand up on behalf of the ones being lead blindly. Georgia artist, M.A.J.O.R.S., does so with his gripping "Shot Fired (reloaded) Vol.2" mixtape. Not only are the beats great, but M.A.J.O.R.S. delivers a message that lingers among the listener on several topics. Alongside with the message, M.A.J.O.R.S. has a great flow. He has something on the mixtape that can appeal to the old and new school ("King I be" is a prime example). M.A.J.O.R.S. is a lyicial Malcom X with a MLK Jr. heart. What I love about this mixtape is you can learn something and bump in the whip at the same time. "Shot fired (reloaded) Vol.2" is a great listen and needs to be heard.

ST featuring Norty Hugh "Green light District" video

The third single from ST 2 Lettaz's March album, The G...The Growth & Development (following "Trillmatic" and "The Crown") is "Green Light District," an ode to "weed and drink" fitted with an appropriately foggy video. Like the best impulses of ST's former group G-Side, who broke up in September, it makes a lot out of a little. Set in one room, ST is surrounded by his friends, plus some evil college-dorm party atmosphere, thanks to plenty of smoke, frantic rays of light, and everybody turn-up-hands-ing to the squishy, trap-tinged Block Beattaz production. In between the weed shout-outs (and zingers about how wack your stuff is), ST jokes that he was rejected from the kind of colleges that now pay him to perform, and boasts about how full his Gmail inbox is at the moment. Also, the way he says "garbage" when he raps, "That shit you got is garbage" is really rewarding. It's just more evidence, if you even needed it, that even after G-Side, ST remains charismatically down to earth. What ya'll think? Spin it or Scratch it?

BP Da Realist "Country Money 4" Mixtape Review @alabamaconnect @

They say in the rap game it's all about who is the "realist". Well, Alabama native, BP Da Realist, says you can't get any realer than him bringing his new mixtape "Country Money 4". Hosted by DJ Black Bill Gates, BP Da Realist  gives us some street heat with features from Gorilla Zoe, Zed Zilla, K Digga, Luv da Brain and even Gucci Mane. The first thing you can say is that BP Da Realist knows how to make a single. The mixtape is full of street bangers and good radio cuts.The production is good throughout the whole mixtape. Zaytoven and BP Da Realist have really good chemistry on their tracks together. The bars are for the street and stay in the street. However, this is the blessing and the curse for the mixtape if you want to hear BP Da Realist speak on other topics. Aside from "Come back"(which Streling does a great job producing), he keeps it gutta. The lasting impression you can say about this mixtape is that "you can put it in your trunk and beat it".

Substantail "Jackin' Jill" mixtape review

What do you get when you mix the soulful music of Jill Scott mixed with the soulful and "mellow" lyrical skills of Substantial? You would get Substantial's new project "Jackin' Jill". Just as creative as the name of the project is, so is the concept and bars. This project is filled with bars dealing with relationships and the ups and downs that go along with them. He picks some of Jill Scott's best beats and rips all of them. Even though Substantial is "jackin" Jill's beats, he makes every track sound like his own. The features are just right. The mixtape allows your girl to vibe to the production and for you to vibe to the lyrics to create a nice time together. For that Substantial, I thank you. After listening to the project, you respect Substantial more as a fan of Jill Scott. "Jackin Jill" is dope and you need to jack the project yourself.
