hulkshare.com%2F2hz412fvar4t&h=dAQDhdL4H

When it comes to hip-hop there isnt a local scene more dominate and as respected as the philly hip-hop scene. Yea nyc may be the birthplace of rap but also theres nyc rappers responsible for the death of rap. There hasnt been a philly cat ive heard come on the mic spit some wack shit just to keep a deal philly hip-hop is one of the most dedicated hip-hop scenes if not the most in the usa. There has been rappers on magor deals sell gold records and still stay true to themselves. Artist like benie seigal and freeway have paved a path for up and coming philly spitters to walk. Even the underground hip-hop scene has steady routes in philly. Supergroup army of the pharoahs was birthed in philly, jedi mind tricks is philly based, freestyle heavyweight e-ness is philly from blood to death. Heavy spitters vol 1 includes tracks from philly legends like freeway, meek millz, reed dollaz, and benie seigal to local favorite like nico the beat, rec raw, the vets and hedonis. Even know how much a artist blows up they stay true to there philly routes as freeway shows in "philly in me" freeway spits about how philly made him the way he was "i remember those days i had nothing now im stuntin" and lyrically freeway is growing a artist all the time. Philly hip-hop is still stuck in the 80's never loosing the true routes of hip-hop as benie seigal proves in "b.boy stance" where he takes you down a trip down memory lane to the forgotten days of hip-hop. going from rakim , to krs, ice t d.oc and other hip-hop legends trying to bring the routes of hip-hop back. Philly rappers stay to rapping about what they know in "life is real" izzy foreal spits about the true struggle of making it as a artist and showing rappers how to keep there priorities straight. "know when i tell you my lifes real i mean to mortgage, gas and light bill i could of been signed waiting for the right deal" this is a true line most rappers dont wait and jump to the first deal offered and ending signing there life over. The hip-hop scene is the heart soul and news of philly. the philly hip-hop scene is the philly community. from a therapist "pain" by nico the beast where he spits with a emotional delivery "i spit how i feel even though i dont feel right" he spits to help other rappers with there struggle. to guide and consequences of hustling "guiny millz "trading places" The hilly rap scene is the heart of the underground hip-hop game period.The Philly hip-hop scne even shows there more to femcees than sex appeal when hedonis spits as hard as any male rapper in "lets boogie" with former rock a fella artist peedi crack A solid listen from beginning to end no tracks to skip.
