Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Aleon Craft – The Stargazing Soundtrack
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Based on the early leaks and the two Prologue Eps I’m expecting some quality Blacklight Poster Rap. So far Aleon and SMKA have managed to stay away from the fruitier aspects of that particular subgenre, hopefully that’s the case here as well.

L Dash “Paperboy”
Monday, August 9th, 2010
I’m not a big fan of nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake (especially from young people who may or may not have lived it), but L Dash’s Blow On My Cartridge seems like it may end up being a welcomed exception. “Paperboy” is quite fire.
Soulja Boy & Tyga “Be Quiet”
Monday, August 9th, 2010
One of my favorite pieces of recent rap minutiae has been Soulja Boy’s discovery of 90′s Memphis rap. For a while he has been building toward a full-on use of the style and it seems like he has settled into it when he isn’t cheffing it up with Lil B. The initial acknowledgement of the adaptation came on “My Clientele”, where SB drops a Kingpin Skinny Pimp reference (while pretty much rocking his style [and voice]). On “Be Quiet” with the venerable Tyga, his first verse is all out Yall Aint No Killaz. One more step towards (critical?) legitmacy for Soulja Boy or just a result of some uncle telling the kid he sounds like KSP? I’m A-OK with being the only person who cares about this, by the way.

VIDEO: FKi “Weed & Arizonas”
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010Quick turnaround on this one. Easily my favorite non-Curren$y weed anthem of the summer. Shouts to Arnold Palmer and jammin’ ass guitar solos.
A.Leon Craft – Brand New Day ft. Young Scolla & Mikkey Halsted
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Another one from The Stargazing Soundtrack, featuring some young Midwest talents. The song is actually a rework of a track featured on The Prologue Pt. 1. Overall, this mixtape is looking really good so far. I’m tempted to ignore all further leaks from it just so it’s all still new to me once it comes out. That probably wont happen though.
FKi “Weed & Arizonas” (Prod. By Chase N. Cashe)
Monday, July 19th, 2010
FKi make dope ass party jams. Chase N. Cashe is one of the best up and coming producers in the business (which you would know if you pay attention to my posts here… at all). This may be the best song either camp has produced. Absolutely fucking outstanding. I spotted this at Burn One’s spot too, where he delivered high praise for our Surf Club buddy’s beat chops.
Do the knowledge on FKi:

A.Leon Craft & Nappy Roots “A Different World”
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
Classic CRT shit right here. The Solar-Hop Chronicles is going to be epic considering the roll that SMKA & Craft have been on this year. People need to start paying attention.
“It’s no secret there is something unique about the south. The climate, culture and history have created a completely different world unlike anything else on earth. So much so that traveling southerners are often asked, “What is it like there?” “A Different World,” featuring Nappy Roots and produced by SMKA, is our response to that question.” – SMKA
A Leon Craft “Strange”
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
SMKA jam some Doors here and Craft knocks it off the hinges (wow that is terrible…).
DC Yung Hot ’30316: Bringin Gangsta Back’
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
Strictly trapping here, boys and girls. Yung Hot is one my favorites within the sub-genre. More clever than most of the typical post-Jeezy ATL hard head shit while still fairly derivative, but Hot is far from putting on airs. Vaeda Boy V-12′s beats are consistently rough, as usual. You should know if you’ll enjoy this after a verse or two…
