Headkrack BUCK WILD featuring Method Man, Kool Keith & Fly Deff

Posted by djkawon — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 17:54 GMT

https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/2142?id=134196.5840.1.a5a451a00b33da8330535b71fa8a6ebe "BUCKWILD" is Headkrack's latest single from his new project that is slated for a Fall 2023 release. "Buckwild" is an energetic, gritty and vibrant collaboration between Headkrack, the incomparable Method Man of Wu-Tang Clan, Kool Keith of the Ultramagnetic MCs and newcomer Fly Deff of NYC. Produced by Los Angeles production team Local Astronauts, this power anthem is a hybrid of what is considered "legendary" with what is "new" giving the listener opportunity to experience the euphoria of a classic car with the growl of a new engine. The ability to marry nostalgic tones with a new era of ambitious torque from Headkrack and Fly Deff allows "Buckwild" to symbolize the authenticity of Hip Hop as we knew it. The introduction serves as a platform for banter between Meth and Headkrack revving up the listeners senses, which sets the stage for Headkrack's verse exploding with witty yet insightful wordsmithing brilliantly evident; while ushering in the raw M.O.P.ish stream of belligerence over the hook delivered by Fly Deff, only to set up for the distinguishable tone of Method Man reminding the listener why his consistent flow, seamless delivery, and creative rhymes keeps him at the top of game finally, giving way to Kool Keith showcasing his abstract but masterful ability to precise storytelling. Headkrack spits lines like "I'm the boss but I go deeper/keep a sleeper cell/ mc's ain't speaking well like they need a speak and spell". While Meth follows up with "Y'all be playing with life like grow up/if you a G/like Sean P/ you see that's when the price go up"...And this is Hip Hop..."Buckwild" challenges the listener to ask themselves, "What do you get Buckwild for?"

Sa-Roc - Talk To Me Nice

Posted by djkawon — Mon, 7 Aug 2023 17:01 GMT

In anticipation of the kick off of her August "Talk To Me Nice" tour, Sa-Roc has today shared her song of the same name and the first single from her forthcoming album. "Talk To Me Nice,"continues the tradition of Sa-Roc sharing a deep connection with her audience, with poise, tenacity and masterful skill. The new single, produced by Sol Messiah, takes a more assertive tone, as she focuses on challenging the industry while demanding respect from it. The sparse, yet menacing track centers Sa-Roc's voice, showcasing her dextrous wordplay, natural wit and agility.

Sa-Roc has also shared the official video for "Talk To Me Nice," with the visuals engaging with light and shadow in stark contrasts to symbolize the decentering and marginalization she and many others have experienced in life. The video, directed by David Maxwell, features guest appearances from dancer Storyboard P and members of the art collective Art Comes First, and notably incorporates Afro-punk aesthetics as well the jewelry and motifs of many Black, African and Indigenous cultures, as a symbolic nod to those cultures that have long countered the prevailing social narrative.

Following the release of her Rhymesayers debut, The Sharecropper's Daughter, which featured official YouTube videos for hits "Forever" (6M+ views), "Goddess Gang" (1M+ views) , Sa-Roc has become arguably one of the most vibrant MCs in the world today. Okayplayer heralded Sa-Roc as "one of the most formidable microphone mavens in the game," and NPR described her as "a modern day griot whose aura radiates calm in a world of chaos."

AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample Release some new CONTENT

Posted by djkawon — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 20:22 GMT

Artist: AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample Album Title: Content Release Date: Friday, April 21, 2023 Genre: Hip Hop/Rap Artist Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada & Calgary, AB, Canada Label: Hand'Solo Records Instagram AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample Facebook AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample Spotify AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample About Content: Content is the first collaborative project between AzraelRapsGood and The Dirty Sample, but it sure doesn't sound like it due to the chemistry they exude. These days our fast-paced world revolves around social media and content is the very essence of that. More content from more people is being pumped out than ever before. So much that it's hard to keep track of it all. At the same time, the world is growing increasingly more anxious and depressed. People are unhappy with the modern luxuries they have. The album title serves as a tongue-in-cheek nod to all of that, as this collection of songs amounts to, well, content. Not only that, but as the world descends into digital madness, the cool heads prevail; in other words, AzraelRapsGood and The Dirty Sample are content. The vibe of Content is classic boom bap with songs about being dope, self-exploration, and the complicated problems in today's world. Written and Performed by AzraelRapsGood and featured guests Produced by The Dirty Sample About AzraelRapsGood: Simply put, Azrael raps good. A stalwart of the underground Canadian hip-hop scene since the mid 00s, this guy has released over a dozen projects both solo and alongside his crews Imaginations Treetrunk & ILL-Legitimate. Identified by his trademark silky smooth delivery, AzraelRapsGood is the quintessential rapper's rapper with bars for days. He has toured extensively across the country, including joining Kool Keith on his 2014 Canada tour. He has also shared the stage with some of hip-hop's finest, such as M.O.P., Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, Raekwon, Joell Ortiz, Devin Tha Dude and more. In 2021 he began producing music videos under the moniker ARGVidz and has released several videos with many more on the way. Watch for AzraelRapsGood to continue to climb to new heights and, ahem, rap good. About The Dirty Sample: "I love the crackle and the crunch of dirty vinyl," explains the elusive Northwest silverback of his DJ Muggs-like fascination with dusty vinyl that he first discovered after buying a sampler in '98 to construct the beats other producers wouldn't provide him as a rapper. Now 20 years in and 30+ albums deep, The Dirty Sample has a catalogue that includes instrumental works, remix projects, and collaborations with the likes of Roc Marciano, Guilty Simpson, Myka 9, Kirby Dominant, Moka Only, D-Sisive, Merkules, Snak the Ripper, Touch, and many of your other favourite rappers. He has also released albums under a variety of alter egos, including Planit, Apeface, Crash Silverback, 2 Blue Apes, and now Ol' Gorilla Bones.
