Timely from the Far Out Family with this one of the upcoming project “fright”. Dope take on being black in America and the iconic American emblem the jean jacket. Slick as always. Definitely ready for the rest. @FarOutFamily / @glennsaddler / @BiastheBlack

OG Maco – BREATHE EP

January 4, 2015 Leave a Comment

The every socially conscious OG Maco gives us less yelling and more message this time around while staying entertaining. I could see something like this coming out from Maco in these ever trying times. This EP was quick and right on time. Much appreciated. @OGMaco

Really nice combination. Spaztastic NicX along with the cool calm collected 6LACK. Wonder if we’ll be getting a new project from either of these guys anytime soon. Dope stuff guys. @NicxNation / @6LACK

Money Makin Nique’ x Johnny Cinco – The Extra EP (+ Run It Up Video)

December 9, 2014 Leave a Comment

Money Makin Nique’ & Johnny Cinco bring us The Extra EP. Super Cool and the kind of collaboration that seems really natural. Like these two guys may have already been really cool. (The dance Nique’ Does in the video makes me want to see it live so I can join in!) I feel like the styles compliment each other with out feeling so far apart that they shouldn’t be together. They naturally speak on similar subject matter while Johnny somewhat mumbles his way through lines Nique’ speaks extremely direct. Dope stuff. @mOneyMakinNique / 1JohnnyCinco

Father – Spoil You Rotten

December 3, 2014 Leave a Comment

Father continues to give it to us with Spoil You Rotten. What I like about the track is he actually takes one of his flows that I really enjoyed from another track and kind of expounded upon it. Maybe he got some complements or realized people where quoting a certain line more often than others. Maybe he just does what feels right. Regardless dope stuff. Shout out to his whole Awful family. @father

DylanTran – Warning Shots ft. Wara from the NBHD

December 2, 2014 Leave a Comment

Producer DylanTran releases production with vocals by Wara. Really feel like this was a great blend. I wouldn’t mind hearing a small EP collaboration from these two. It really does seem like a lost cut from KIDNAPPED. Really dope stuff. Gotta check out more of DylanTran’s work. @dylantran / @warafromthenbhd

Key! – Vancouver Freestyle

December 2, 2014 Leave a Comment

I’m just saying Key! freestyled a real whole song and thats all I’m saying. I mean that was way legit. I’m turnt right now! I really want to know what it’s like to be in the studio when he does this. I mean, what is the engineer thinking. Probably something like “did he really just do that.” Dope stuff as always. @FATMANKEY

Wara From the NBHD – Slangin

November 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

Basically a back to back drop from Wara with Slangin. following close behind RAW which seems to take place in the same world. Wara definitely stated at one point that the story was not over. I wonder how many more videos we are going to get out of the KIDNAPPED project. Maybe he’ll even give us a conclusion to Piano Lesson’s story. SideNote: Not mad a all the shameless promotion either. lol. Get your Playin’ Four Keeps apparel today! @warafromthenbhd

Wara from the NBHD – RAW ft. Grande Marshall

November 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

So what we have here it seems like is a two part video from Wara with Raw coming first and Slangin to be released at a later date. One thing I really commend about the visual is how it follows the story of KIDNAPPED with Wara actually taking on the roll of his created character Piano Lessons (or at least that’s how I interpreted it.) I also wonder how crazy the Slangin video is going to be. They have really been tooting the horn about it so we should be in for something really dope. Can’t wait. With this new verified account I think Wara is definitely poised to blow next. @warafromthenbhd / @GrandeMarshall

Key! – Keep the Piece ft. ManManSavage

November 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

One of my favorite cuts from the 808 Keys EP. Also I was at this little secret Key! pop up show shot during A3C between his other shows. I remember being drunk and really wanting one of those Key! “HELLO!?” shirts but they were $50! (I almost bought one any way. lol) I want to also use this moment to point out what I been telling people for a while now. If you have been paying attention to the goings on of the scene Key!’s notoriety has sky rocketed! From the Fader interviews to the controversial Complex interview. Key! may have made the correct choice when it came to going the solo route. He definitely has the ability and acclaim. Since we take such long hiatuses around here and miss stuff here is some more Key! with visual from TMZ. @FATMANKEY / @manmansavage100

ROME FORTUNE – FOUR SEASONS (FT. OG MACO)

November 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

Every time Rome Releases it’s thorough. Like extremely. Like his team is beast. Like shout out to Mike Boyd. I just don’t see how you don’t look at this video and then want to know more about this guy. Like if you haven’t heard of him before this and you see this video you’re definitely going to click on the next one. Shout out to Maco on this one as well. He always make you pay attention. At this point Rome just has to sitting at a table with a bunch a record contract in front of him basically just weighing his options. What more could they want? @romefortune
