Restless



Jyeah! New Trae, thank fucking god. I need some new shit because music is weak as fuck right now. Fuck anyone that gives a fuck about some candy cane ass Pharrell rap bullshit. Trae brought it on this shit. Hell just peep Real Talk, he steps up on the fast rap tip just slaying the beat. I don't know who did the beat but it's like juiced up castlevania shit with that knock.

Real Talk

Don't go into this album expecting some happy bullshit cause Trae sticks to what he is good at. That pissed the fuck off reflective rap hating on all the motherfuckers trying to bring him down but yet still depressed about all his fallen partners. The great thing about Trae is that dude has a realness about him and he admits that sometimes he's right and sometimes he's wrong but he will always think you're a fucking bitch. He doesn't tip toe around the bullshit and pretend to be some weakass superstar. Probably the song that best shows that shit is No Help. He teams up with Z-Ro so you know it's on some assholes by nature shit.

He's got a couple of car raps thrown in there for good measure though. But when they sound like Cadillac you can't front on hearing a few more raps about how much candy paint is dripping. It also helps to have Triple Six, SLAB and Paul Wall on the cut. The beat is hella slow and grimy with some drawn out bass tones full of static. For the chorus they get decide to sample a Paul wall line of Getcha Mind Correct "broke up with my foreign car and woke up with a Cadillac".

Cadillac ft Paul Wall Three Six Mafia, Jayton & Lil Boss of S.L.A.B.

buy this record because all the other shit out there right now fucking sucks and you know it.

18 Dummy Video



saw this shit over at City Of Dope and decided to post it up because it's easier than trying to think of a creative post. Pretty standard hyphy video, stunna shades, dudes going dumb, shots of the city and all that shit. I'm feeling the U Just Like Me Cause I Rap shirt though.

New Juggaknots

Art Of Rhyme has some new Juggaknots tracks up. The first track is Namesake which is pretty chill. Not really some destroyer type shit but I'm feeling it, thank god from some underground shit that doesn't suck ass. It's Breeze on the track by himself speaking a little on the early - mid 90's underground scene. I don't want to say I'm dissappointed by this track but when I heard they were going to be dropping the new single I was hoping it was going to be some ridiculous angry monster beat with Breeze just ripping the fuck out of it. Breeze is one of my favorite rappers, dude is so nice with it. When Fire In Which You Burned dropped that shit just destroyed what I thought could be done with this rap shit. If you're not up on Clear Blue Skies you need to get your fucking head out of your ass and cop that shit.

AOR also has this track Sumday up. Dope joint but it didn't make the album cut. Another chill track which is proving to be kind of hard for me to digest not because it's bad or anything. Rather just because I've been listening to rowdy as fuck southern rap for like a month straight. Laid back underground new york raps are a pretty drastic change for me right now.

The new record is called Use Your Confusion and it's probably the first underground hiphop record that I've actually be excited about in a long ass time. Hell I actually thought about going to Scribble just because they were on the line up. Never seen these dudes live and it's enough to make me consider flying to shitty ass ohio. But the key word here is consider, while I think The Juggaknots are great I don't need more cdrs from dudes who want to save hiphop.
