Jr 15 Wake Up. review



I recently found out about jr 15 though lambo live and this struggle musik emcee deffintly is on the come up. He starts off with a steady multi-filled rhyme scheme "peace 5 to my ogs my go gettas and gor-illas that hold heat, my block huggers who hug the block with no sleep, for my n*ggaz rolling dice sippin oe" and he never falls off once thoughout this verse. With a gritty delivery top-clutch rhyme schemes there isnt much need for improvment from jr 15. One my favriote lines from this track is "henny in a bottle pour the pain in a cup" this is clever as hell. Overall ill. need to here more from ar

MB Toker Face ft Bam



Mb has been pretty silent this year, after having a BIG 2010 in the local scene with the release of one of 2010's top local albusm power moves and the medicore cut ent mixtape. In the last few month his buzz has been developing with his first new single of the year with retarted witch was decent but now hes back to dope street gritty rap witch he does best with his newest track TOKER FACE bringing cut ent heavyweight big bam along. The track starts off with a dark vibed piano beat that sets a mood for a dark journey though the mind of a ghetto born child. "the ghetto god you should see my scars in my kilo's im a hard im a b-boy" this somes up mb to a point a true lyricist with streeet gritty stret tales you havent heard stuff this gritty since clipse hel hath no furry. With clever drug driven metephors "yea i made it snow fishscale" mb's supp,lies the streets az healthy serving of dopenes.. Keeps a steady rhyme scheme though and big bam make sure hes pits his hardest not to disapoint. With a flow remenisant of the late B.I.G. with lines like "im like mr. freeze wheni make n*hhaz shiver" shows big bam not only keeps a steady flow he knows how to leave a evective punch. This drak is dark gritty, chillin, and replayable

CHAOS AT SMITH AND WESSON RELASE PARY POLICE CORRUPTION AT ITS FINEST



http://www.hiphopstan.com/smif-n-wessun-police-album-release-party/

What has this world coming to when a rap concert can't go though without the whole new york police depart getting involved for no reason at all but as a victim said "to many black people in one place" witch was probally the truth. There was no violence no fighting no bullshit at all to cause the cops to get as violent as they did. As you start watching this video you stomachs churns there must of been 4000 people + her adn ther looks to be more cops there like this was a riot or a protest or some shit instead of a album release party. There must of been a narc in the building who called policed cus the irony in smith in wessons open statement is insane. "its time for us to stand straight all of us gotta do somethign monumental right now or we will be erased" and by the look of the police response they were out to erase. Around 3 minutes in you see about 5-6 peopel start clubbing the fuck out of a guy its insane. And as u see theres not ONE BLACK COP shows racism still exist. This is sad shit smith and wesson are a respected hip-hop group not gangsta rap who spit a message of corruption and true life shit. This deffintly wasnt neccesary you here the peopel sayign the cops attacked pete rocks kids and wife. Mty feelings go out to pete rock and his family to smith and wesson cus monumental is a amazing album and its release party should been a ay for true hip-hop heads to gather instead of a police brutality stint. If this dont make national headlines somethings wrong in america.

L Money "AYY YOO" video



l.money has been making his name forhimself this year in the 610 from lending the hook on automatics hit "thank you" to directing the very cinamtic "me" video by red by emcee's wise l.money the head of arizen records hasnt made a buzz in a while as alyricsit well thats all about to change with his latest video ayy yoo. one dont let looks decieve you l.money has a certian swag to him first look you say "wack" in your head. His flow does start off a little slow as he sets up his rhyme scheme but as soon as he set up his rhyme scheme the rest of the tracks on point. "blow they brains out lyrical homicide family tramatized black suit mama cried" deffintly a creative line alot of emcees spit that there lyrical but most dont vivid depict a funeral for there victims. L.money def comes hard on this he does have some week points but this is def a banger. And MEETBEATZ on the beat you know you have ahit on your hands

soakinupdatruth teach us to love



Im always on the lookout for up and coming talent out of the 610/908 region. During my last sting in county i was told to check out this emcee sokin up the truth. Decided to give him a listen this inspiring emcee deffintly got potential. He has alot of building to do on the complex tip but does know how to make a listenable song. His newest track is a track that is dedicated to god a local Cristian rapper witch i haven't scne wince s.o.s. dudes got some decent lines "i feel like et somehow we lost touch" This is a decent track dudes deffintly got a lot of building to do but dues onthe right path

Ruan G - Lie To Me ft. Mr. Rowe



Even though chicks wanna act like only the dudes are the players every guy knows the truth chicks are bigger dawgs then dude most of the times, and its about time that a rapper spits on that. Besides counginlyst the rain i havent heard a emcee spit abou tgetting plaid its always the other way around. "she was there though my bid in prison" the first line he spits witch lets you know this was a down chick or so he though "cought her with another man in the kitchen" showing the truth of how down she realy was. ruans first rse has him spittin on regrets of geting with her to how he still has has feelings for her despite all the games she plays. the hook is catchy and on point with the subject of the song. The 2nd verse is the 1rst verse allover again wich thows off the whole vibe to a otherwise steady track. His delivery style is slick and his lyrics are on point for the most part. This is a track that most dudes should relate to. BESIDES THE REPETOTESS of his vrse a 4 minte song for oe 6 this track goes in

murdoc feat m.a.j.k-nino brown nitetime



http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_9015091

Not even a month ago i posted a review on murdocs the polo affair its seems that this was just the PRE-MIXTAPE FOR THE REAL POLO AFFAIR ALBUM. So it seems murdoc is heavy on the grind from ending up on my mid year top 5 songs in the 610 with no hands to a consistent single grind murdocs showing you that he aint giving up till TRIBELAND RECORDS is coming out of everyone's speakers. His first single off the polo affair album night time is a gritty street anthem over a sped up piano style beat that sounds like something you would here in a hood flick. He starts off with a nice multi-rhyme scheme set-up "tell me what you wanna do gotta get to spitting right in front of you i leave you where u standing where u living where you running to say you wanting beef but the beef is whats its coming to i hit you with the one and 2 take the ground from under you" And for the rest of his verse his rhyme scheme stays on it also hitting some witty metaphors "its bad what they calling me one of those white boys cocaine massacre im fuckin with that whte boys." double meanign metaphors always slick. Majyk gets on the mic second with lyrical prowess showing hes not only a producer but a productive emcee even ending his verse on a hot point "making n*gaz disapear thats why they call me magic. stays on he same street style as murdoc steady flow setting up another steady verse from nino. This track is definitely a street banger.

george burnz CITY OF GOD ALBUM REVIEW



http://www.datpiff.com/GEORGE-BURNZ-George-Burnz-City-Of-God-mixtape.241356.html

Theres no way you dont know who george burnz is Ive reviewed him multiple times on the blog, hes part of fight klub legend nems fuck ya lyfe movement has local 610 ties and has been getting alot of net buzz the last few years. His newest album city of god shows you why george's hype has been so high dudes lyrical massacres every last beat on this track and this album couldn't have started off better. "ace of spades" has a EPIC beat with geoge burnez spitting had hitting punchlines with a heavy multi's filled rhyme schemes. "im be bigger then ringo star got that ill nino george burnes hotter then jalapeno i got a mean flow a pocket of green dro porter rock spitting fie like ricky the steamboat. His delivery is slick his multis just roll off his tounge with ease. "dudes got cocky gritty bucnhes "i got a mouth full of metal in im not talking about brace's. a opening track this dope youd expect him to fall of and if you expect that you def never heard george burnez spit before. he follows with the street styled track toolie that has a hauntingly gritty and catchy hook. "i pack mad tools and your bastards cant do nothing to me nope im just ur packign it toolie you shouldn't act like you know me your loughs a smash like a peace of ass fuckin wih groupies i like them stuck up and bouchie they do it up when hey do me" plus his oping bar in his 2nd first is probably the best line on the album."get that dough hit that hoe cross them n*ggaz out tick-tack-to im force to pull it out i spit that grown split that dome dip back home now the fact i put it back liek shin splats now how u gunna walk when your bones not intact homes" Not only does burnz spit his hardest yet he has a amzing areal of collabos from his fuck ya lyfe crew and some of the top underground cats in the nyc scene. nems and datin join him on the more upbeat lyric assault. Only bad thing i can say about this track is im not realy feeling the hook. nems holds his own his the best verse on the track pretty much rhyming off one word for most of the track. besides spitting lyrical rawness he also has some deep relate able stuff like the track fog spit over a acoustic guitar beat over his struggle to overcome lust. a vivd look into his mid an his betrayal of females. Shit goes in hard as hell. The track after this though shocked the fuck out of me burnes spitting over EVENESCENES BRING ME BACK TO LIFE the beat s hauntingly melodic as george keeps his lyrics hard. All in all i think this album has only one track gunther the hook is playful and degrade full the beat is a lil off flows still on point though. This mixtape is almost flawless.

Daze Dysh - Wicked Thoughts [New Single 2011] [ Mixtape LEEK]



I know i havent been the biggest fan of glock city daze dysh but this song is deep, reel, complex, an highly relatable. daze dysh goes in a cinematic styled flow so vivid you can see yourself in his situation. His flow still needs a lot of polishing every 2-3 bars he rhymes off the same word over and over or has a a basic o-2 flow In the middle of track he does spit a nice multi scheme. i was a kid didnt realy know much/ now im grown up n been though so much brodie shonuff." besides that his flow is still basic. Kids 19 an dgot a lot o frowing to do but this is one hell of a story type track riht out of the diary hes calls life. deffintly the best tracki heard from him so far. hope to see him spit more like this again

Whitney Peyton ft. Planetary (AOTP) "This is how"



Whitney peyton is deffintly one strange rapper and not only because she looks like the softball star girl next door she also has one of the most versitle styles ive ever scene. She's put out tracks for the juggalo's tracks for the clubs, now she's got a collab with one of the undergrounds top emcees with planetary of outerspace witch will atratched the underground cats. She has tracks to reach evryfan base something most artist may claim. Now shes not the most lyrical emcee usually but her flow seems to be more intact on this track. The chorous starts off kind of iffy not to catchy and not to complex so it kind of fails but when she starts spitting she seems to actually be trying to rap for once. Now her flow is basic and off alot at times but compared to her usual syle she seems to matured on this track. "i'm not a gimick im a epidemic representing those who cant cus i just went out and did it and vrythign they wana say i just when out and said it its upsetting im not sorry adn will not regret it." i think this is the first time ive seen her use a extended multi scheme and she keeps it for the last 6 bars of the track now why couldnt the first verse be like. Planetary spits 2nd only thing i gotta say about this is more of the way its ied his ocals are louder then the beat and its not his usal style of beat so he's spittign a litle faster then the beat but lyrically hes on point. Her 2nd verse goes same as the first verse shes on and off with the multi scheme not to consitant. she deffintly seems to have grown as a artist but has alot of way o go to be a ritcal aclaimd mce bt when it comes to mainstream appeal shesgot that on lock.

Daddy X and Dirtball of Kottonmouth Kings, T.O.N.E-Z, Whitney Peyton, Th...



I havent reviewed anything that had whitney peyton in a while and after i posted the flyer for her new album there were some people asking who she was so im review one of her latest tracks featuring a slew of top underground rappers including kottonmouth king alumns daddy x and dirtbag, the roc, and tonez. This track is pretty much one big cypher over a hard rock riff that really dont fit with there flows but that doesn't mean they dont flow well. im not gunna go to much in reviewing the collaboration artist besides Whitney and tone z cus this blog is ment for up and coming rappers but having collabs like this though grind not cash payment is impressive. Whitney peyton starts off decent "ill rve you rhymes like a drive though dunkin donuts" she uses a pretty basic rap scheme some multis do surface but definitely nothing that stands out. tonez comes on last to a acpella beat boxing to start now tonez comes out hard on this track witch isnt shocking cus he usually dont let down. "Picasso with the pen dangerous off the celebelum." overall this track is decent nothing to special nothing to wack

WHITEBOI D INTERVIEW



abyss: his is a long time in the making i tried to get a interview with you before all my legal stuff went down anyway you just released your newest mixtape mixed emotions and i saw a steady change in some of your subject matters, this album had alot of love and heartbreak were these tracks inspired by true events?

ABYSS:one thing ive always liked about you as a emcee is your ability at story telling, a traight most emcees dont use nowadays witch shows your a versitile emcee who can keep a steady flow and rap about anything. Do you think the lack of depth hip-hop artist use nowadays effects the ability to rhyme as well?


WHITE BOI D:
It All Depends On The Artists. I Mean Some Can Tell Storys And Some Can Freestyle, Some Can Write Bars, Some Can't Rhyme! But I Hear Alota Music I'm Not Knocking Nobody But It All Sounds The Same Guns, Drugs, And Money. I Mean Anyone Can Make A Million Songs But It's Not About Quantity It's About Quality! If All Your Songs Touch The Same Topics, People Will Lose Interest. I'm Versatile I Try To Make Good Music And Stray Away From The Gangsta Talk. But At The End Of The Day Whatever Works For The Artists Do You!


abyss:Looking at your album it doesn't seem you worked with alot of 610 artist do you have plans or would like to work with any one locally?


white boi d:

abyss:What producers do you work with and who would you like to work with in the future?

white boi d:I Work Wit The CrateZ It's A Production Team Made Up Of 5 Beatmakers From All Over The World! I Would Like To Work Wit Red Mcfly From Red Light Entertainment! I Dig Sampled Beats Just Something About Them That Inspires Me To Do What I Do!

abyss: One thing that you do alot of is shows. i always hear your performing at a local club. Do you have any show dates planned in the future?

white boi d I'm Currently Looking Into Doing Shows In Other Cities And States. I Mean The Hip Hop Scene Out Here Is Dead Really, Like I Mean U Can Do A Show Out Here In Allentown But The Turn Out Is Never Impressive. People Out Here Don't Wanna Come Out And Support Local Talent! And Its Not A Good Look For Allentown! But I'm Working On Going On Tour Soon Wit My T.O.S. Fam. Big Shoutout To Bi Da Street Luva.

Abyss: What does the rest of 2011 look like for you musically?

white boi d:Looks Like It's Gonna Be A Good Year! #Nuf Said

white boi d:I Got Into Hip Hop When I Was Young, Thats When Hip Hop Was Hip Hop. I Remember Watchin Biggies "Juicy" Video On MTV. Man I'm Still Bumpin That Joint Today. I Was Inspired By All The Legends Of The Game Biggy,2pac,Gangstarr,Big L,Big Pun, Jay-Z, Nas. I'm Inspired By Everything/Everyone Around Me, Its What Helps Me Be Creative To Make These Songs! LMy Flow Just Comes To Me Really Like However I'm Feelin Is How You'll Hear Me.

abyss: One thing ive noticed alot is your use of the word N*igga as a white emcee do you think this brings any non needed controversy to your music?

I Knew This Question Was Coming Lol. I Never Really Had Any Complaints Or Anyone Tellin Me I Shouldn't Say It. I Think I Get More Shit For Being A "Wigger" Then I Do For Sayin Nigga.

Killa Shame & P. Sanity - Radio



el chain records have had there name known in the valley hip-hop scene for some time now, the roster may change from now an hen butfor he most part there usually consistent when it comes to talent. The newest single released off the allentown based underground label el-chain is radio by killah shame and p.sanity. This track deffintly flows hard. P.sanity starts off. p.sanity is deffitly a street based rapper who calls bitches hoes and has a short-respect level, everythign is espect me hoe hoe this bitch that. Regardless udes flows str9 with a moment of multi's and a non-forced bars. The chorous is on point letting the haters know whats going on and when killah sham spits he stays on the subject of not givign a fuck what the haters think. His flow stays steady as well. overall this is a nice track nothing special but bette then the usual radio shit.

whitney peyton NO HOLDS BAR OUT 8-30-11




Philly emcee whitney peytons newest release no hols bar will be released 8-30-2011 whitney peyton has been making a name for herself the last few years. Even if your not from the lv you should know this name. Whitney peyton started off on sidestream records before splittin for bigger things. she's had a steady modelling career was in he un-liter campaign in philly and has done various tours thoughouht theeyar shes a pop-rappr so she wont be for everyone but one thing she does have is the ability to get radio play so u have to show love to any artist about to make it that had ties to the local scene

Greg Jarvis "I Need A Win"



This track is 5-6 years old a classic in the 610 hip-hop scene by fallen rapper greg jarvis from allentown who was tragically shot and killed at the young age of 34 years old in philly. I remember seing him perform in either 2006 or 2007 whatever year musikfest opened there hip-hop tent. When i first heard this song it gave me hope when i was in a bad place and has always had a steady rotation in my i-pod. I was shocked and gratefull when i was searching the rapforever youtube page to see josh ramirez is planning shooting a video for this clasic and it seems there gunna re-release his classic psalms of the hood in his memory. It is a amazing thing that 3 yeas later people still remember this legend in the local scene shows how much impact a emcee can have in his community. R.I.P greg jarvis he would be doing big things right now if he wasnt gone

Stuy Ty (SPC) "Solar Home" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)



Earlier this year i reviewed SPC affiliate stuy ty's oppressive compulsive disorder mix-tape, witch brought the hipster style of rap into the lehigh valley. He just released the video for the mixtapes first single solar home directed by josh ramirez of rap forever. All i got to say this track is on so many different levels. The beat reminds me of a dangermouse style track a type of beat you could probably trip on acid to and see a whole shit load of colors and feel at peace, his lyrics sound like one big metaphoric drug track. "woke up classroom bout midday, nap snap time like 5th grade" In the beginning this sounds like a innocent reminiscent of school times, and maybe this track is a double meaning track cus once the chorous hits you go back to that first line and say this dudes talking about drugs, get tired from getting baked get the munchies in passout. "bag of green Christmas trees i don't wanna leave remain a g i wanna go to my solar home." this is some hippy style chant that makes u just wanna wave back and force. This track is def a smoking song even though it prob wasn't ment at this nature. His flow switches from rap to sing flow. lyrically hes abut average but as a rack it makes u just wanna go back to the 70's hippie arae. If they aint hipster rappers they should b.

GO HARD!!!- YUNG TERRORIST & ALi ft. TEK NIZZY & PACHINO BADNEWZ



610 hip-hop scene best watch out cus there's a new group of young high school aged rappers who are about to bring the 610 hip-hop scene down to rubble. The deth star crew has been getting heavy buzz all year from getting love from b.i the streetlover to there decent debue mixtape the 420 mixtape. If you needed another reason to check them out there newest single features 610 veteran spitter pachino badnewz. And like the name of the song says this track goes in hard. All four spitters spit on a high level of lyricism. Tek nizzy opens this track up hitting with some clever punchline infused metaphors "my young bars will eat you cell games." multi infused bars "my logic props to my optics options of five topics stop or your die watching. and a overall a steady flow even his delivery goes hard. 2nd on the mic is young t switches his flow a little bit to a more rapid fire delivery to let his multi's roll of his tongue so effectively you get shivers down your spine that a 17 year old kid has such complex rhyme schemes. Pachino comes one 3rd spitting with a more laid back delivery then the other two. Dudes got a smooth rhyme scheme with a nice multi set up. "i see there sleeping so i brought a bed so i brought a bed cus im lead them with these slick rhymes ima spit, with these rhymes your short of breath en i know looks are deceiving so they assume and think im week." this is definitely impressive cus he switches a multi-scheme with 2 dif words witch is slick, then in the next verse he switches English n Spanish to keep his flow intact. Last but not least is ali who has been impressing me ever time i here her spit on a track. she starts off hard as fuck "i go hard harder then viagra i give you blue balls when im flowing like niagra. She is deffintly one of the new artist with th emost potential this whole track goes hard as shit and each emcee spits with lyrical force

george burnz unchained melody



If you follow my blog, or are familiar with nems fuck ya lyfe moment that you know brooklyn native george burnez is one of the slickest spitters in the nyc underground hip-hop scene. Hes also one of the most versatile he can get on some gangsta shit, some pure lyrical warfare or just spit some emotional stuff for the women. His latest single unchained melody is a of to love spit over a nice soul sampled beat witch he also made. He has some wity metaphors describing his love of his women "im finding for your touch like a weed head need money for a dutch". His flow goes smoothly over this beat lyrics tamed down then his usual but when it comes from the heart its more about emotion then lyrical prowess something he definitely displays. This is a track females will swoon over seeing there are guys that still appreciate women in not degrade them

INTERVIEW WITH LAMBORDHINI LIVE OF STRUGGLE MUSIK




Abyss: first off who's all alligned with struggle music?

LL:we have a wide variety of artist ranging From Kentucky To Pa & everywhere in between

abyss:Whats your gameplan for 2011, release's touring' collabs ect?

LL:so far the plan is 2 continue 2 make good music on a consistent basis we have a lot of artist in a lot of different cities & states from Kentucky 2 Pa & pretty much everywhere in between right now our main focus is on a talented artist born & raised in allentown pa by the name of J.R 15 he is a Hot up & coming local talent with a strong buzz right now he will be PERFORMING LIVE AT CLUB MIXX JULY 9TH His Debut mixtape will also be coming sept 1 titled "Cooking Up The Game" we are also planning 2 go on tour with B.i Da Street Luva & His T.O.S Fam at a date yet to be named We are also working on a Collaboration mixtape with J.R15 & Noose the founder of Struggle Music @ at date yet to be named as i said right now the main focus is J.R15 Debut mixtape sept 1 "Cooking Up The Game"

abyss:As a producer does anything inspire your style of beats or do you just vibe off the artist that you work with?


ll:Well i have 2 say my 2 biggest inspirations when it comes 2 producing would have 2 be Dr Dre & Alchemist i will pretty much vibe with the artist i am working with when they are looking for something specific but when im working alone just making beats i look to more of a deep & dark vibe similar 2 Alchemist with a slower tempo then average but then again it all depends on the mood


abyss:are you just the home producer for struggle music or do you produce for other local emcee's


LL:No i never been just a home producer for Struggle Music i work with many other artist & have given Beats 2 A decent List of Artist in the 610 Who i feel Are Talented & fit the Beat Judging by what i hear on there previous tracks Artists Such As; Face The Beast Tug Mcraw Killa Shame Pachino BadNewz Sticky Money Phillup Banks Colodge Young Trouble Blanx And a few others i may have forgot these are all artist i feel are very talented & very easy 2 Vibe with i also have produced tracks for NY Artist Goodz Da Animal A very talented battle rapper from the Bronx & Mysonne Linen also From Bx

abyss:Whats your thoughts on the current state of hip-hop?

LL:The state of Hip Hop 2 me is constantly changing & sometimes we need change it can be a good thing & a bad thing i think the internet has a lot 2 do with the state hip hop is in 2 day also the same way i feel people should give credit where credit is due & support there local artist i feel people also need 2 be more honest & let the ones know that just don't have it as a artist that they just don't have it not every one can be a artist but there is def a place for every one if they just work 2 geather and just attempt other things be creative & do what they can 2 play a role i think it can go a long way there cant be 5 Kobe Bryant's on the floor at the same time some 1 has 2 play the assist role the rebound role ext the game is full of opportunities but at the end of the day lets just be honest when speaking Hip Hop the 2 pac & biggie era i was raised in is long gone so if your not willing 2 adapt 2 change then chances are this game just isn't for u

abyss:Unlike most producers you can actually spit as well do you plan on releasing anything as a artist or you plan to stay more as a producer?

LL:Honestly it all depends on what the people want & who is buzzing in my camp at the time i don't see myself as an artist first so if i see more of a opportunity for 1 of my label mates to do there thing im probably going 2 focus my time more on them then myself i have more then enough of my own tracks to release a mixtape or album & i may in the future but right now my time is more focused on the up & coming artist who i feel are more hungry when it comes 2 the MC part Like i said im more for my people then i am for myself so i guess 2 answer the question i will probably be more of a Producer/Engineer then a Artist but then again the game is full of surprises LoL

abyss:What programs do you use to make your beats do u use one program or are you also into sampling?


LL:Usually i will use all different types of hardware like the akai mpc triton keyboards Motif Synthesizer workstations ext.and run it through pro tools it all depends where i am & what's available at the time but recently i have been using FL Studio Software im always looking 2 get the most out of everything available 2 actually make a beat on & judge for myself what's actually the best way & i do sample but its not really my first choice

ABYSS:What are your plans to get struggle music's name deeper into the 610 hip-hop scene?

LL:we are going 2 continue 2 push our name & work as hard as possible with anyone in the 610 willing to work with us like i was told by many record execs No1 makes it in this game alone!!! we will be Booking as many shows as possible and Networking on a consistent basis right now thats our biggest plan


abyss:What inspired you to become a producer?



LL:Again i would have 2 say Dr. Dre was probably my biggest inspiration when it comes 2 being a producer it was just always intriguing to me growing up & watching Dre over a massive mixing board & hearing the sounds he brung from it at the same time i come from a Musical Family My Father Is A well known Drummer In A Band in puerto rico although i wasn't raised by him many family members tell me thats where my Talent in music comes from but my step father who i was raised by R.I.P was also into a wide variety of music he knew i always was into beats more then anything so he brought me a synsonics drum machine for xmas when i was 7 years old & the rest from there was pretty much history LoL other then that i just enjoy working with people who have the same love for music as i do & constantly work 2 get better! the outcome of good chemistry & a track the people can Feel & relate 2 means more 2 me then any dollar amounts i guess its just in my blood

abyss:Lastly what do you think of the local scene as a whole and do you think you and the rest of struggle musik bring anything to the table to rock the local scene?

LL:Honestly i believe there is a lot of talent in the local scene with the right Engineering & Production i feel a lot of artist can go along way but as i said earlier No1 can do it alone so i feel Artist should learn 2 respect each others talents more & get rid of all the senseless beefs that go on the town is 2 small for all that & at the end of the day its just not worth it i def believe i can bring a lot 2 the table there are a lot of tracks i hear that i wish i could of recorded & mixed cause i hear the talent but when the sound quality isn't there a lot of big execs just wont even take the time 2 listen 2 it plus 2 me if u want ur music 2 be heard world wide & 2 be taken seriously it takes more then just a talented artist u need the whole package Production,Sound Quality,Street Team Ext. there are also a lot of talented artist in the struggle music camp & i believe if they work with other talented artist in the local scene the opportunities are endless

Arrie 'Ghost' REVIEW



When i first started reviewing arrie i was given everyone a look at her past tracks knowing she was going to have a big year in 2011. She's deffintly proving she hasnt lost her touch on her newest track ghost. The haunting melody of past love, sung with emotion and a erry vocal range arie is letting u know exactly how shes feeling. Another thing ive always loved about arie is that she is also the writer of her hits a quility artist dont have now adays. Arie is on the right path for a big year.

The Infamous Swagg- Top of the World




Its always refreshing when you see a young emcee not trying to sound like everyone else, going his own route staying true to himself. Thats why infamous swag is on his way to being one of the most talented cats in the lv. just turning 17 years old he already has one of the top releases this year with lyrical therapy 2 now he's allready releasing another mixtape n.i.g.g.a (never ignorant getting goals.) with a acronym like that you know this dudes creative. With the track top of the world he try's to spit so both real hip-hop heads and the mainstream cats woill take a look at his music. When he starts spitting you know this younging got his life in order "since i started getting nice and they understand, maybe a n*gga wont have to go back to selling grams, instead of that im selling mixtapes." dudes gt his head in the right direction and hi flow goe steady he got a nice rhyme scheme multi's entwined. He still has alot of room to grow but begin 19 and with this much talent you know hes out for big things.

phillip banks LOST REVIEW

http://soundcloud.com/phillup-banks/phillup-bank-lost?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook&utm_content=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fphillup-banks%2Fphillup-bank-lost

Philip banks has been on his grind this year dropped mr. commercial earlier this year and has a slew full of new video' generating online showing his heavy year last year definitely wasn't no fluke. Going back to his deeper routes on his newest track list you see banks again letting you in his mind to understand a first hand account of his life's struggles. "i'm tired of them lonely nights grinding to the morning lights, out to get mine every piece and its only right dont have much but what i got i hold it tight" not only does he give you a vivid look into his mind he entwines a nice multi filled rhyme scheme and lets his emotion be felt in his delivery. When the hook comes in you start to think of your own struggles. A track that got you reflecting on your life you know somethings right. "lost and confused still i keep going" he gives a positive message about never givin up. I wish more rappers spit this way maybe theres be less dropouts and unemployment rates if lil wayne spit on this direction. im deffintly waiting the next banks alum he seems to get better with every release.

automatic let me in REVIEW



When it comes to word of mouth support i don't think there any rapper in the 610 that's touching the buzz generated by Allentown emcee automatic. Not only does he have one of the best flows in the 610 he's tracks are street worthy, airplay ready and club jumping. The total package a emcee needs critically acclaimed and 2011 relevant. It helps to have a producer that is as versatile with his sound as meetbeatz as well. Automatics latest single "let me in" off his highly locally anticipated album diamond in the dirt is a club styled track about trying to hook up with a chick. Yea a cliche style track for rappers but automatic keeps the concept fresh. The tracks starts off sexually explicit with short bars to start off the track to set up for a more hard hitting flow, he dont have many lines that stand out in the first verse but he starts hitting heavier in the 2nd verse. Like i said he has a steady flow on a track any fan of rap either lyrical or street would cop.

white boi d mixed emotions ALBUM REVIEW

http://www.mixtapefactory.com/Take-Over-Syndicate-Ent-Presents-Mixed-Emotions.html

Its been a little bit since i heard of anything from whiteboi d the local immortal technique poliical styled rapper. Hes been on his grind on the show circuit though and he finally released his latest mixtape mixed emotion. From the spoken word intro you know your bout to listen to something unlike the rest of the local hip-hop scene and that deffintly isnt a bad thing. He starts off this mixtape on the more emotional tip on the track breathe with one lyfe. The beat sets a deep reflection style tp flow that drags u in to listen to this emotionally driven track. One lyfe's verse is a depressing angle about a bad styled break up giving vivid details about how he's feeling. When white boi d hits the mic he keeps with his emotions in his delivery while keeping a steady flow, staying on the same subject matter of a bad break up. Not his best work but still better the 80 percent of whats out now adays. The next track is on the same type as of breathe a song ment to the chicks, but the drop the world remix witch is next shows white boi d's versatility, with a complex style flow. "my ods are on fire i ignite" dude keeps real only issue i got this dude must forget he's white us he uses n*gga alot witch i mentioned in older reviews. This album is a lot diffrent from what im used to from whiteboi d though alot of his tracks are about women and spiting about weed, but he keeps his flow steady witch shows his versatility. This mixtape has some of his older tracks like the stoy telling track issues that orignally got me listening to whiteboi d. one of the albums stand outs is the deeply spit off my chest. Getting heavily personal on th elines of joe budden mood musik. spitting about mental illness, hating hi work, family issues dude goes realy deep on this joint. Between some of the best instrumentals ive heard on a 610 mixtape and whiteboi's constant flow this is a refreshing listen.

godilla feat tone liv raw silk REVIEW

http://thehiphophead.brooksbrown.com/?p=12569

I know alot of people complain every time i review godilla tracks cus there usually highly rated and people claim favoritism, its not favoritism its just the complainers would know what true hip-hop sounds like. He's probably the most consistent emcee in the local hip-hop scene never spitting to disapoint. This time he comes intact with a ill collabo with tone liv, who also doesnt fail to impress. manybeats instrumental sets a nice uplifting i wanna win type of vibe to the track, so your allready hyped before tone liv opens his mouth.Ton livs style reminds me alot of chif kamahi of aotp, from his deliver to his style of rap and punchline setups. His flow is a little off but he delivers a hard hitting deliver makes up for it. "in your grill like a plate from a blue steal, so dramatic the flow change to wind chill" dudes got some creative lines and after he opening bars he has a nicely flow rhyme scheme incorporate at la 2-3 multi's pr bar with none of them are forced. Godilla spit second (i barley here him as a main spitter on a collabo) "this is the truth give me the polygraph you n*gaz spit rude and lolygag" dude starts off nicley then picks up heavily on the multi tip. "the god is ill thats a concrete fact survival of the fittist like the mob deep track, how do you put in work u consantly slack my reputation like a odd freak act." what emce locally paks more unforced muli's in a nicly delivered bar, not many So what yocall favriotism i call knowing talent when i here it.

2011 610 hip-hop year so far

I know this is gunna start alot of hate people claiming favoritism and a whole bunch of rappers pissed off thinking they deserve the cut. I keep it real i always have its my opinion yes but i have a very honest opinion. Alot of local emcees also complain its anew era emcees outto make money so ill show love to everyone in there on ways. Lets start off with the string of new emcee's heating it up this year in the 610.

Earlier this year i posted the 5 new emcees to watch out for and a few of them still make the cut mid year.
Lets start off in no order with sticky money. This emcee is not only the deepest artist in the 610 he's also the artist with the heaviest grind releasing the most material and none of it disappointing. He spits from the heart a aspect most local emcees now aday dont do. Check out his videos at http://www.youtube.com/foster86 and be on the look out for his still in the waiting new mixtape note to self.

2nd new emcee who has recently started getting a buzz is meetbeatz new accomplice frames. Now frames is the emcee that impress's me the most this year and proves all the rappers who say its a new generation lyricism wont sell anymore wrong. Not only is frames a dope lyricist his 2nd single secret girl with chachi b could be a top ten hip-hop track. Be on the look out for more from him soon.

Next new artist to be getting a buzz in this year is another one i had to watch out for this year in doeboy. Hes still working on his debut mix tape the lunch box but with 2 acclaimed singles under his belt so far he's keeping a steady grind plus hes getting personal like on his latest track don't leave me lonely, dealing with addiction. True hip-hop at its finest

Next is silva dollar. His name may have fallen off a little bit in a scene but he started off the year heavy with his first single don't look at me and putting a sure fire local classic in the disappearing act. Hopefully he didnt take a disappearing at and gets back on the grind promoting his music, cus he needs to be heard.

The last new artist who just recently the last few month impressed my ear phones is deth star affiliate ali. The first time i heard her was on the def star 420 mixtape where she held her on on a posse full of dudes. Her discovery's gritty flows top not and she hows there female emees that can actually spit so don't look at nicki minaj when you just femcee's.

Another thing strong this year in the Leigh valley was the rash of music videos by 610 artist, and when it came to looking for a director 3 were used on a constant basis. josh ramirez, j nuno, and fred savage who all made mltiple visual masterpieces to local emcees lyrics, but it was a director who had one amazing video who directed he best video this year in the cinematic styled me vido by redmcfly and the one who shot this amazing video was l.money of arizen records. The video plays like a mini movie with a story line alot reds girl catching him cheating, with beautiful cinematography.

Heres my opinion on the other four videos i think hit the right points this year.
Godilla feat nine and adlib hand signs directed by josh ramerez of rapforevermedia.
mr. b feat f.a.c.e the beast addict directed by josh ramirez of rapforevermedia.
king magnetic feat general steele, estoric, ali armz, godilla, jus allah and vinnie paz watch out. mani the nigitar get it all directed by j.nuno.

Just because a videos hot doest mean the track is even though most of those 5 tracks were pure assaults of lyrical dynamite. Heres my opinion on the top 5 singles of the year again no order based off lyricism.

godilla deat adlib and nine HAND SIGNS
stick money LONLEY
KING MAGNETIC FEAT GENERAL STEEL, ESTORIC, ALI ARMZ, GODILLA, JUS ALLAH, AND VINNIE PAZ WATCH OUT
l perfex 100 mic salute
murdoc no hands

again i know there's a wave of radio styled tracks surfacing all over the lehigh valley so heres my opinion of the five tracks that could of been top ten singles released by lehigh valley artist.

frames feat chachi b secret girl
automatic feat l.money thank you
da boy jp doing my thang

For every hot track theres a producer behind the scene suplying the heat the emcees spit on, so heres my top 5 best producer so far this year

LIL KONG DEUCE BLOCK REVIEW



When it comes to local label movements there are two that are making magor buzz in a-town and one of them is f.a.c.e da beast chedda records. Every artist ive heard from the label have talent and i havent been disapointed from a release from the crew. There newest artist lil kong doesnt disapoint. He has a girtty celivery for some hard street styled lyrics. "any beef out the window the gun blow they go ratatatat like a drumroll" as you see dudes got nice punches and creativity. tracks flows mooth even though it fucks up cus he goes accapela whee u can barley hear his vocals about a minute into the track. Its only about a 16 so you cant tell to much bout with depth but dudes deffitly got potential will be on th elook out for more from this up and coming emcee.

J.rose is one of a kind, shes a rapper, a spoken word artist and shes one of the most versitile rappers ive seen when it comes to subject matter and style, and her newest track disapear shows a diffrent side of her pure emotion and she also shows her vocal strength as a singer. "if i could disaper and go whever i want id sit alone in stare at the sun asking it why it gave me this name from the soul inside of me witch it game." this is deep and would be a great spoken would peace/ She has great vocal deth to bad it soudn sliek its autoned cus she deffintly has a nicley voive. Her verse goes deep how shes wish she had someone whol held her down and not use her. This track goes deep and shows a diffrent side of jannese rose.

610 EMCEES WANNA BE APART OF HISTORY!

Ive been thinking alot latley how deep are local hip-hop scene is and how much potential the lv has a whole, and ive also relised the local scene is heavily devided at times. When i look at pictures like the photograph of the legendary harlem jazz artist i relise how groundbreaking that photo was and how something liek that would breach the gap of drama in the 610 scene. I wanna put together a photo of every emcee in the 610 if anyones interested please hit me up on facebook, because i deffintly wanna organize this.

Jayon Nut (nah) review



allentown emcee jay nut has been getting a steady buzz as of late so its time us over here at eastcoast underground give him a check out. Its takes a bout a minute ito the track till his verse even hits but when it does its worth the minute you wait watching this wierd ass video. "influenced by the game the same game that they ruined" is one of the truest statements ive heard in a while so true everyone is inspried by legends but they come out with wackness. His rhymc scheme hits heavy hitting some nicely etwined lines "i might conduct every mic that i touch thats real emcee for all you and r fake fucks and he even takes it to the golden age of hip-hop. "its the return of the mics and the turntables. This track hits hard yes his delivery is a little basic at points but this track is refreshign comared to some of this shit that sbeen handed my way

Ali Up all Night FT. YUNG TERRORIST



You know you got talent if you can make a track with a sampled lil waye hook go hard, up and coming allentown femcee comes with a hard hitting track with fellow deth star member young t on the track up all night. The track starts off with young t spitting again i think he needs to delvelope his delivery a little bit but his flow deffintly hits with a nice hitting metephor "guns busting you think its europe cus every n*ggaz rushing. ali comes after a half verse and her delivery is one of the grittiest in the valley prob 2nd to hitman of tribeland. She comes with a hard hitting verse about selling drugs and the stree tlife that fits her gritty as fuck flow, and comes even harder on her 2nd verse. "hands down im the best there is they rippin out there bresteses so i do the breath stroke n i cant even swim yo." this chcicks deffintly got a flow and is one of the rappers i see will come on top this year

Sticky Money - Heartbeat (R.i.P. Tribute)



For anyone who's listen to this thinking the beat and the track itself sounds a little like daze dysh's rest in peace yo is because there pretty much the same track make sure you look at the release date though THIS CAME OUT FIRST and he shows that you can make a tribute track with pure lyrical ability plus showing true emotion in your delivery witch trully hits a heart and emotions in a tribute track. "this is for you the base is your heartbeat" this is one of the most creative lines ive heard in a while. "fuck if i sell a million i just wanna see you" words from a true emcee who rather see his homies one last time then a hit. Overall this track hits a nerve and if you know any of the people in this tribute i bet your shedding a tear in this emotionally drivin track

J Capitol P- Do My Thang (REVIEW)



da boy jp has been getting his name known though stragetic weekly freestyles, mixtapes, his radio show, and now he releseas his first video witch is directed by one of the araes most respected music directors. He came in this year with a steady buzz even earning a stash box award for emcee to look out for in 2011. And he deffintly dont disapont with his first single do my thang. The minute the beat hits you know this is ment to be a club hit. The base is infectious and would get any club moving, the hook is catchy and his delivery hits hard. His lyrics are tamed down a little bit from other tracks we have heard him but he still hits with some nice multi-rhyme schemes, but his verses arent full 16's witch doesnt give him enough time to get his rhymescheme deliloped. the first 2 minutes a minute and a half seems to be the hook. The 2nd verse hits alot harder even though again his spittign 4 bars then going into the hook kind of make it so his flow don tadd up to much. This track is a pure club hit though witch i wouldnt be suprised youd here in a loca club. deeffintly the right choice for a first single

def star presents 420 mixtape ALBUM REVIEW








I know this mixtape came out in april but with all the problems ive been having i finally have time to review this mixtape hosted by deth starr. A whole mixtape full of weed songs deffintly a stoners dreams, deffintly when the emcee's arent ass that are spitting on it. The first track is the posse cut pound for pound the emcee's range from basic emcees to heavy punchline hitting to gritty flow. Ali and plex stand out heavy deffintly plex who has some creative metaphor infused punchlines "im so geeked my n*ggers call me urkle im so beached in im not talking myrtal. Next actual track is smoking purple by young twitch is another black and yellow track. Now im kind of sick and tired of this beat cus its been having somewack shit spit over it once and a while. The hook is deffintly catchy but his delivery isnt on point, but when the verse comes he gets his flow intact, but destroys it with all the random samples. Plex is deffinty the strong point on this mixtape smoke dis has a mellow flow a smooth releaxed hook, and a steady weeded flow, and he keeps spitting that fire on pounds of green. Overall this mixtape is a good listen

RISE 'N' GRIND - YOUNG TROUBLE review



everytime i here a new track by youngtrouble i never known what to expect, sometimes he flows hard heavy punchling hitting next time he has a watered down flow that i cant stand. The track starts off on the dispaoiting point. The beat hits hard as fuck and what does he do he using a autone styled hook for a track that sounds likea streat banger. His delivery hits hard flows kind of basic but he does hit off some nice punchlines "we on the streats foreal hard top like some tims." he knows his place though in the scene "most hated and even well known now. Dude deffintly has potential id say id liek to see him battle he has decent punchlines but when it comes to his flow it fucks up hiw potential, i ammit he is slowly growing on me though

ed monsta never will i SINGLE REVIEW








As you have heard by now if your into the lv hip-hop scene tribeland records is out to takeover stacking its roster with nothing but the illest emcees in the valley, one of there newest recruits is easton native ed monsta who started gaining a good local buzz with camgrounds with the lv anthem A.B.E now hes about to release his debute mixtape monster wieght. Hes been dropping a few tracks to get people know what to expect. One of these tracks is the infectious never will i. The hook is a little confusing "never ever will i am" "im so damn high my body feels wieghtless" so he was def baked while spitting this witch deffintly was a plus cus his lyrics and delivery go hard all thouought this track. "quilitine flow heads for the banquet all u can eat 16's ove flame shit" deffintly creative. Monsta keeps steady thoughout the whole track. The 2nd flow he rtrys switchign up his flwo to a more spitfire fast styled flow witch he pulls off flawless while he goes ona multi assault. Dudes deffintly a versitle emcee. dffintly a banger

murdoc the polo affair ALBUM REVIEW








Its finally here the highly anticpated debute mixtape from tribeland records artist murdoc. All year around the lehigh valley you've heard people buzzing about this album and i can say he deffintly doesn;t disapoint his fans. Starting off with a smoothly flowed freestle where hits with some witty punchlines "i got food for though im serve u dinner" and stays on his usual cash, guns, bragadio lyrical content. The next track murdoc stays on the same bragadicio im ill mentality with "bring the dj back" where he raps about making girls get losoe to ther emusic and have the dj keep rocking his music. Decently flowed even though the bat is a little off in my mind. The next track is one of my favriote on the album "let the beat rock." He has a steady multiple sylbale flow why spitting lyrics again about drugs and violence witch seems to be a steady subject on this album. At least he gives you a nice song to smoke to with "the sour" "im so high i can sleep with my shades blowing on that kush puffing on that haze but im for that sour" nice smoking anthem again staying with a nice multy entwined flow. The openign hook extends a little bit but if your blazing to this song itll get u in a good mood. This album does have its flows, im not realy feeling like me to much the hook is a little poppish not to poppy though, the beat though is banging. Overall mixtape was a nice debute

Daze Dysh - Rest In Peace YO single review



daze dysh is a up and coming rapper who's alligned with allentowns rising star infamous swag. His latest single rest in peace yo is a dedication to all of his lost friends. First complaint im start off with is the beat is a more club style track not a rest in peace track. I quess he was going for celbrating life, basiing off othe songs due got lyricla talent but he using a more basic style of rhymes for this dedication witch is a little disappointment, and his delivery is more singing then rappen. Theres so many flaws heer but as a song this song goes in so its deffintly gunna impress his fan base

skin of my teeth marz bar 6/15/2011 SHOW REVIEW




http://www.myspace.com/skinofmyteeththeband

you know your out expecting to have a good time when theres 3 dollar shots, 7 dollar coors light pitchers, and some heavy hitting rock music from one of the area's most loved cover bands. Easton natives skin of my teeth put one one hell of a show at marz bar and grille in phillipsburg yesterday. There set did start off a little slow playing some mellow covers like shimmer by fuel. There out to please there fans though and played a various of request. They interacted with the crowd dancing and moshing with the fans in the front while putting on a high energy perforance. The crowd was deffintly hyped up drunk girls in the front row dancing sexual acting like fulls, even one fan fell down on the lead isngers foot. Professionals as they were they helped pick her up and get the show going. Even though there more known for a cover band some of the biggest highlites of there set were oringial tracks off there long awaited debute album. The lead singer stated that it was 6 years in the making. Another highlite of the show was the cover of king of leons sex on fire.It pumped the crowd up of all ages and got a huge applause after the set. Now im not the one who usually likes cover bands but they got there set down on point. You know wyour going to be big when you have a crow of peopel rocking your shirts. deffintly a enjoyable show and i recremend if your into heavy rock and good covers make sure you catch them at a bar near you.

Frames "My Time is Now"



offically this is my open opinion before i get people bitching but meatbeatz is hands down the best producer in the lehigh valley, and his beats are gracing the lehigh valleys illest spitters. starting off the year by lacing the beats for the lv's current top emcee this year in automatic to one of the lv's best newcomers in frames. Dudes got a ear for talent that is needed in the local scene. Helping out this track is the nicley shot video by j- nuno that has frames spitting around his home town. Now im not the best mainstream fan so the beginning singing hook inst my style but when frames starts rapping, he brings a deep look into his struggle to make it in the rap game. "i came from the lowdown dirty gutta" he vividly lets you know the struggles he went though that help inspite his rhyme. He prays to god for forgivness for the mistakeas he made but in a recession era he knows its not that easy to make it. The hook gives hope to his struggles and any one who listings to it. "i paid my dues i earned my damn crown struggles long enough my time is now." it deffintly is im deffintly have good feelings about frames
