#NewMusic: Stalley “God’s Child”

One of my lil homies killed himself this weekend and it had me kinda f*d up. He was always walking round talking bout God and his goodness and then just like that he loses his mind and commits suicide. I want to believe that even though he took matters in his own hands, he is favored and spared by God. Only God can be that judge though.

I’ve got a tattoo on my right arm that is reminiscent of the infamous “The Godfather” font and logo. It’s remixed to read.” God The Father.” When I saw this song title, “God’s Child” and began to listen to it, it reminded me of the relationship that I have with the same guy Stalley’s talking about. If you didn’t know, there’s a big man upstairs who’s been looking out since day 1, despite our lack of faithfulness. If haven’t already, I encourage you get to know em. Even Blu knows who God’s son is!

#NewMusic: Hassani Kwess “Kick The Bass, Chuck”

The DC native, Qaptain Kwess, is continuing his quest to make a name for himself, online and off. Just recently, he was featured on Asher Roth’s latest Pabst & Jazz project where he and Roth embraced the Chuck Inglish-produced melody.

Inglish speaks a language that only true artists can understand. Somewhat similar to ATCQ’s, Can I Kick It, Hassani Kwess gives the producer the permission before he asks. On this new record, Kwess talks back to Chuck creating a conversation called hip-hop. Kick the Bass, Chuck!

#NewMusic: Asher Roth x Hassani Kwess x Kenny Keys “Pabst & Jazz”

Asher’s Pabst & Jazz Sessions are a collection of tracks with features from Chuck Inglish of the Cool Kids and production duo Blended Babies. As far as I know, one track will leak from the sessions each day beginning this week on Asher’s social media outlets, with Pabst and Jazz Sessions being unleashed in full on December 20th.

Word to the homie Terrell – Asher’s proceeds from the tour will go to The Philadelphia Hunger Coalition.

[WATCH] Milwaukee Rapper Gets Indicted Because of YouTube Video

“Teach you how to Jack” is a local YouTube hit produced by Milwaukee rap artist Eastside LBoog. If you’re actively DJing in Milwaukee and happen to be working a party that consists of urban youth, this song is highly requested. Or at least it once was. I’ve been out the city for a year.

If you’re wondering, “Jacking” is to Milwaukee youth what “Stuntin” was to Cash Money Millionaires in 1998. However, for a person to even be compared to Cash Money Millionaires, they’d have to have, what YC calls, “Racks on top of Racks.” How these racks are acquired is up to the artist that endorses them. Most of the racks are said to come from “hustlin” on the corners from the wee hours of the morning. Very blatantly, in Eastside LBoog’s last video, “Trap House Money,” he claims to prosper from the cash accumulated in his dope house. This could all be very real or entertaining fiction. The FEDS are taking it very serious. Haven’t you guys learned?

It’s very hard to believe that drug dealers are selling drugs and making music about it. Wesley Snipes played the hell out of the Nino Brown role but when the director yelled cut, he was non-tax paying Wesley again. Are these young artists that eager for attention that they’d jeopardize their freedom in return for a few Facebook likes and YouTube shares?
