Umm…this is pretty random lol. If you ever wondered what you would get if you mixed TO + NY + Greg Nice + the ’70’s…now you know.
The checkered taxi cab and dashiki may pay homage to the throwback vibe of the Sheen Bros’ “It’s So Hot,” but directors The ICU keep this party clip fresh and focused. This red hot blast of disco rap from 4th Pyramid, Cosmo Baker and special guest Greg Nice stays lit from dusk ’til dawn. You’re going to need to keep those shades on, y’all.
Producers…nothing wrong with releasing an instrumental album. There’s a whole lane for that kind of thing. Nuff producers tour and do club gigs just off their productions. You just gotta be creative with it. Anyways…Element is doing just that with his project Days of This. Here’s more info:
FRMTHEGRDUP is proud to release “Little Ocean“, the second single off of LMNT’s forthcoming instrumental project titled “Days of This“. The track will be available today as a free download. Upon it’s September 8th digital release, “Days of This” will be offered for free via Bandcamp.
“Little Ocean” is an UK glitch/ IDM inspired musical working comprised of samples and a minimoog voyager XL.
Today, enjoy the free mp3 download to the titled second single.

Lol @ “Straight Out Of Brampton”.
JStaffz is a young Hip-Hop producer from Brampton, Ontario. That’s in Canada, near Toronto, if you’re not familiar with the Great Lakes region of the Western hemisphere, North America to be specific.
JStaffz has produced for the likes of Wiz Khalifa and Tony Yayo, as well as a plethora of other up-n-coming artists across the globe. J is on his grind, period. He has 80,000 or more followers on Twitter, makes new beats every day, and even aspires to be a spokesperson for either Ray-Ban or BlackBerry. Hell, BlackBerry could use some JStaffz hustle the way those darn RIM stocks are looking…
Just the other day, Yo! Raps sat down with JStaffz, beside a very shiny and expensive-looking German piano at Number 9 Recording Studios in downtown Toronto. We spoke about a great number of things, enough to write a book about, and every few minutes he would effortlessly caress the keys of the big German machine. Hell, it’s probably the same piano Atom Egoyan and his composer used to score that spell-bounding film, The Sweet Hereafter, the one with Sarah Polley in it. I’ve read Atom frequents Number 9 Studios when he’s working on a new project. Nevertheless, I’m more drawn to JStaffz’ kind of movie, the symphonic punch of Brampton-esque swag. Hell, if J’s beats get any more epic he might just topple Drake for next year’s Juno Award.
Man, what can I say…!??!?! REALLY happy to make this post today because I KNOW how long Boothe‘s been wanting to let it out. But see, he’s a smart dude and someone that really cares about his artistry. So if he has to re-work (RIP Hip-Hop in 3D), re-plan, re-record, re-edit (shouts to Chris G. lol)…whatever…he’ll do it to make sure the product is proper. So, for that, I salute you amigo. Congrats on the release!
Is it late? Nawwwww b….it’s right on time!
Album features Kardi, Amanda Diva, Kweli, Cyhi, Kim Davis and more. Shouts to Nineteen85 who holds down most of the produce. Full press release and tracklist under the hood!
Hmmm…brand new singer Tamara Madison gets her visual debut on with a remix to the un-remixable “Novacane” by Frank Ocean! No easy task. Behind the scenes look at the filming of the video under the hood as well! Directed by Big O.J. Films.
