Once the pride and joy of the interwebs then like most things, LB became the poster child for hate. Well for those who enjoyed their work you’ll be able to hear them one more time on their final album “LeftBack.” Unfortunately you will not hear any 9th on this album but you will hear Khyrsis, Denaun Porter, Zo!, Symbolyc One, J. Bizness and King Karnov. Hate em or love em, you can’t deny that Phonte is nice with his. –Philaflava

Here is a quick drop for those who can’t get enough Devin Copeland. Besides the obvious misspelling in the track title, I think we all really benefit here. Lend your thoughts, yo! –Philaflava

If you’re like me you’ve probably been wandering whatever happened to Phan and UG from the Cella Dwellas. This Flatbush duo just had crazy chemistry together and always had a stellar production team behind them. Nick Wiz. Large Professor, Ayatollah and Rockwilder just to name a few. Recently we’ve seen U.G. pop-up on a few collabos like Riot off General Steele’s album and many of our T.R.O.Y. heads will recall the Nick Wiz compliation Cella Sounds that came out a few years ago. But what’s up with the new shit? Well the wait is over.
Upon checking out Addicted To The Vision I came across two tracks from U.G. that just restored my faith in the hip-hop I miss. If you need to taste the product first those tracks are available to stream and download. Don’t sleep! –Philaflava
U.G. – Beat Yo Ass
U.G. – My Soldiers feat. General Steele & Casual
New KC/Bay callabo. Rich is still the most slept on commodity in rap right now. Effortless smoothness, unique flow and voice and a razor sharp wit. Hopefully as the Bay continues to garner blog attention, Kansas City can hop on the coat tails. With Street Ballin, Rich and Vallejo vet J-Diggs, who has released some truly terrible material in the last year or so, whale out over some really solid production, often finding KC crooner Boy Big on the hook. No one is saving the world here, but if mob shit is your weapon of choice, you need not look any further. Check out a few tracks and download below.
If there was a version of De La Soul that I could say that honestly was from the DMV (or an extended link to the Native Tonues even), Poem-cees is very close to it. From the time they put projects such as I.O.U. Street and Paranoia to link with fellow DMV artists Priest Da Nomad and Storm The Unpredictable forming SPP Waxworks, these brothas stay busy. Known for their back and forth beatbox performances and slam poetry approach to rhyming, they’ve been prominent in the DMV scene for their originality.
Okay, if they don’t look familiar…..peep this bit from Def Poetry Jam…..
Aiight….now that thats out of the way, time to put you on some more game with their new album, “Everything You’ve Always Wanted” coming out this year. Not sure when but it is this year.
