Music – Really A Wolf

Scotty – Game feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Trinidad Jame$

August 21, 2013 Leave a Comment

From the too dope #FAITH project Scotty (or ScottyATL) drops the visual for the most star studded track of the album “GAME” via Complex. The track produced by DJ Burn One is true to the concept, old southern pimp ish and I love how they take on the role different characters and the reoccurring Martin Lawrence / Jerome esc character in Scotty’s video (who kind of looks an awful lot like Trinidad. lol.). This video really does put Scotty in a different place. That kind of star power does say a hell of a lot about where he is right know. The progression is real but even a quick Google search of the mans name at this point will tell you that where he is now and where he was a year ago are two very different places. Kudos to the ever humble boy Scotty for putting on for the city. And S/O to Motion Family for the visuals. @ScottyATL / @BIGKRIT / @TrinidadJamesGG / @djburnone / @ComplexMag / @MotionFamily

Curtis Williams – Half Forgotten Daydreams

August 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

But really though what can I say about this release that hasn’t already been said. It’s definitely one of the most anticipated releases in the Atlanta scene. We’ve been waiting on this one and it does not disappoint. If you dig Curtis your going to love the project. It’s just smooth so smooth to the point that in the closing of the album I almost got the impression that it was actually was a loosely based concept project of a young William’s daydreams which is a testament to the vision and consistency of the project as a whole. I also have to give him kudos for not going crazy with the features. With the clout that not only his name but the Two9 brand carries at this time he could have really gotten anybody he wanted for a little boost in star power but he didn’t. He kept it at home with the team and you have to respect the authenticity that comes with that. @ThatBoyCurtis

Shalom Little – Brolic Bounce

August 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

I really dig this visual. It feels like a look into the genesis of the still young man Shalom Little (1/3 of the SubConscious crew). I mean from the looks of it the clips from the video could possibly span years in separation which is really impressive for a dude who is really just hitting the scene. Also I’m going to take this opportunity to speak on the boys mixtape “the SubJAKKKK” in which he lyrically pounces on jacked beats. You can really feel his New York origins all over the project. The flow is smooth and aggressive, lyrically strong, and care free at the same time in a way that is usually reserved for New York rappers. Definitely worth a play through with no weak spots on this first solo outing. Click HERE for the download. Shout out to Wino Willy for the added production. Also shout out to the SubConscious boys and the whole Raven Corps crew. Y’all got a nice one here. @ShalomLittle / @sbCNCS / @RavenCorps / @Black_ChinaKid

Rome Fortune – Grind (Dir. Goodwin)

Rome drops the video for Grind. I’m not sure if this is a part of the new things from Rome to come or if he is just capitalizing on the buzz of the song. I feel like the feel of the track is a little different than what we heard on Beautiful Pimp. This seems a little more feel good to me which is perfect for the Summer time. Now if could just stop raining in the A we would be straight. None the less it’s a dope track with a dope visual to go along with it. Shout out to the whole Cowboy Pimpin set. @romefortune / @GoodwinWinsgood / @fkimusic

Wara from the NBHD – BELLY (Dir. Kyle Drew)

Just now getting a chance to post this but gotta give love to the boy Wara and his rise. Really wish he got a chance to go on at the cut short Free Milk but it’s all good I know there will be plenty of chances to see the Brockett Road boy. This is the second visual for Ill Street Blues if you count the previous early release of Menace to Society but I guess that would be for the hardcore fans. Also we must must must give a shout out to long time homie and director Kyle Drew of Drew & Co. Very nice work on the visuals. @warafromthenbhd / @drewandcofilms

Curtis Williams – Bare Essentials ft. Robb Bank$

July 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

The long awaited visuals for Curtis Williams and Robb Bank$ Bare Essentials. Directed by KUSUMADJAJA & GUNNER STAHL and edited by MCMXCIII it gives the feel of the purposeful low quality that not only gives it originality but also ties it to some of the imagery Curtis has been using for his PTA (Pass The Ammo) clothing line that can be seen between verses during this cinematic rump. @ThatBoyCurtis / @BankSquiat / @GUNNERSELLWHITE / @MCMXCIII_US

Two9 (to the grave dirt)

I’m really late on talking about this but a little while ago it was brought to my attention that one of the Two9 residents fell victim to a fire. They lost much. Our hearts go out to them. This is just some unimaginable shit. I just can’t man. And being and insider in the game it just has to be alot to lose anything at this stage. I feel like Two9 gets a lot of undeserved hate do to their success but even the haters have to hurt for this one. At the very least we can be thankful that no one was hurt in the fire and all the boys are still here with us. We know those Two9 boys and if it’s one thing they are not short on right now it’s opportunities (As the homie Curtis Williams stated). I’m pretty sure they’re going to rise from these ashes phoenix style. Two9 FOREVER. Curtis wrote his feeling on the incident which I really wish I could find. If I run across it again I’ll make sure to link over to it. @Two9

Rome Fortune – Get The Guap

June 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

Late on the post from the hiatus but we back none the less. Rome Fortune with Get The Guap. Video shot out in Cali. At this point this is the sole video for Beautiful Pimp which may be the case indefinitely seeing as how he seems to be gearing up for the next project already. This project did a lot for the Balcony rapper but word on the street is the next project will dwarf this effort. I’m excited to see what they mean by this. The project had the backing of DJ Scream and HoodRich to push him into “about to blow” status, had him doing shows with Trinidad Jame$, and afterward released a feature cut with Gucci Mane so if the new effort makes this one look like a hobby project then we need to be prepared for this young man to be a true problem. Also check for the songstress Graham Knoxx who makes and quick cameo in the video. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it. @romefortune

Scotty – #FAITH (DJ Burn One)

May 27, 2013 Leave a Comment

Atlanta got to stand the fuck up for this one I mean come the fuck on! This tape is just to legit. If you are in the city and in the scene worth a damn you at least know who Scotty is and the fact that he basically has a cosign from everyone you’ll meet in the scene who is worth a damn should tell you that he is worth a damn! From Scotty’s previous catalog you know you are going to get some of that down south / 3rd coast type deal and to be honest when I saw KRIT on the tape I lost it for just a second and became a complete fanboy. Oh and shout out to the rest of the Atlanta brethren on the tape TheCoolIsMac, Curtis Williams, Trinidad Jame$, and the new to the scene rapidly rising Miloh Smith to name a few. Know let me go get some FILAs and a old school ’84 right quick. I’m feeling patriotic about my city. @ScottyATL / @djburnone / @BIGKRIT / @TrinidadJamesGG / @thecoolismac / @ThatBoyCurtis / @milohsmith
