[MP3 + Music Video] Buckwheat Groats – Tom Hanks (NSFW)

No idea who the f’ Buckwheat Groats are but this “Tom Hanks” track (and video!) are just ridic! These dudes totally send up the recent trend in mainstream of trap hop and drill tracks being named for celebrities and show just how easy (and how wack) it is to do it with this absolutely absurd, over-the-top video. Note: this video is very NSFW!

[MP3] Mobb Deep – Say Something

Solid track from the M.O.B..B. Sounds like they (or at least Havoc) have been listening to My Name Is My Name, no??

[MP3] Wu Tang Clan – Keep Watch feat. Nathaniel

New Wu-Tang Clan??! It’s no “Protect Ya Neck” tbh (or even “Triumph”) but what is nowadays?? Also, is that an Ed O.G. “I Got to Have It” sample (or more to the point, Hamilton Bohannon – “Singing a Song for My Mother”) I hear? From the forthcoming album, A Better Tomorrow.

[MP3 + Music Video] Hit-Boy – Alert feat. Nipsey Hussle

“You ain’t felt this sh-t since The Chronic….”

Bold words but you know what, out of all these new ‘producers’ that kids go nuts for nowadays, Hit-Boy is one of the very few in my opinion who actually has the talent to back up his bravado. His HITstory mixtape was very, very good. No joke. I’m looking forward to his We the Plug album when it drops….

[MP3] Introducing New Artist: Listen to Three Tracks from UK Rapper AfroJosh’s Aisle 9 Mixtape

“Tile Hill is where I rep…”

Yes, this kid is from my birth town of Coventry. He’s not bad, Aisle 9 is a decent first effort at a mixtape album by such a young artist although his flow can be a tad clunky at times. He’s got pretty solid songwriting instincts for a newcomer though so hopefully he’ll improve as he continues to work on his craft on future music. I’m mostly posting about this here on the blog though because track 4 on Aisle 9, “Faith” features my cousin, Mya May Graham and, no bias on this, I think she sounds great!

Agree and like what you hear? CLICK HERE to listen to the entire Aisle 9 mixtape album.
