Nametag & Nameless "hookless" video

Nametag & Nameless present 'For Namesake' the album dropping 4/16/13 on Brick Records!  While Nametag linked up with Nameless initially based on the similarity of their monikers, the duo's chemistry was evident immediately, as they quickly created "Blaow!" and "Raw Dirty Filth," the latter landing on DJ Premier's satellite radio show. With the rest of their collaborative debut, 'For Namesake', the duo take theie biggest step yet toward living up to their hometown's legacy.
With appearances by Motor City vets (Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Miz Korona) and youngsters (Mahd, Jahshua Smith) alike, 'For Namesake' continues to cement Nametag & Nameless as one of Detroit's fastest rising talents.

Big Gen @breadstacker - Money On My Mind Mixtape Review

 It takes money to make money.This is a proverb that all hip hop artists have to understand in order to make it in the rap game. Most artists lose before they even start for not understanding the importance of getting their money up. However, Birmingham, Alabama rapper, Big Gen aka The Bread Staker, brings bars of building your budget with "Money On My Mind" mixtape. Big Gen's voice (somewhat similar to Young Jeezy) really draws you into his bars. Snipe Young's produced "Hold on me" adds flavor to the mixtape as Big Gen speaks on the rap game's influence on him. Big Gen teaches us how to get and how to keep your money. The double edged sword of this mixtape is how Big Gen pushed the theme of this conceptual mixtape. He does have his relationship tracks ("The Bomb", "Shawty Got my Back", "Crusing"), but his subject matter is very limited. However, the beat selection helps to allow the mixtape not to become stale. The best thing about Big Gen and this mixtape is that he knows how to make a single. Almost every track on here has radio/single potential. Big Gen lives up to his name as a bread stacker on this mixtape. He clearly shows us if you have money on your mind, then you can have money in you hand.

Bama Starz - Blackz & Bluntz (Hosted by DJ New Era) mixtape review

Hunstville, Alabama artists aren't slowing down steam dropping projects this quarter. Bama Starz brings us "Blackz & Bluntz" hosted by DJ New Era . The first thing that catches you is the production. Shawdi P sets the project off with the production on "Playa Talk" and you can hear the connection of Bossman's production with Bama Starz. The chemistry amongst the group shines throughout the mixtape. "High Paradise" is a great song with some heartfelt bars about the groups present state and their ambitions for their future of the group and for their loved ones. The bittersweetness of "Blackz & Bluntz" is that it sticks to the theme of the mixtape. If your a smoker, you'll love this project. However, aside from "High Paradise" and "5 deep", your going to get a lot of tracks that have the same feel to them. Overall, this is a fun mixtape and something to ride to.What's your thoughts...Spin it or Scratch it?

Jay Elly- Nothing but God album review

Kentucky artist, Jay Elly, had caught our attention with his video submission for "Black & White". We knew after posting video that we would be reviewing his "Nobody but God" album. Jay Elly's flow is flawless. His voice puts in the mindset of Los. He did a great job with his beat selection. Ballonz and Jay Elly have great chemistry and I'll be looking out for more from Ballonz production in the future. One of the only things that disappoints about this project is the subject matter. After hearing "Black & White", I thought I was going to hear some more deeper or socially conscience tracks. I'm only saying this, because I know and can hear that Jay Elly is capable of doing more. Jay Elly is a dope artist and I don't want him to get lost in the weeds (pun intended) as just "another rapper". I truly believe that he can put Kentucky on the map and is now my favorite artist from Kentucky as he "pulls up like Martin luther king with a dream on him  I will be checking out more of him in the future. Jay Elly is completely right about one thing, "nobody but God" can tell him when he will decease...and as far as career is concerned... it hasn't been called home yet.
