The blogging is inconsistent, but the work doesn’t stop. Been doing a lot of work on this 1st Place project in the cuts, and am very pumped to throw out the new album/mixtape The Great Boombox. Mixed by Mike Czech of Scratch N Sniff, The Great Boombox boasts 10 original songs, no guest spots just that 1st Place flavor.

We’re going real grassroots on this one; burn it for a friend, play it in the car or at a party,  pass the link, post the link whatever you can do we appreciate it. I believe in this project, and think there is a lot of potential.

Enjoy

The Great Boombox

New EP from the homie Z-Man, Show Up, Shut Up and Rap. Cold spits, no gimmicks. Eight tracks, all dope.

Download the EP here.

Sa-Ra at Wax Poetics

Aloe Blacc “I Need A Dollar” at Smoking Section

new work coming soon…..

First off, FAB just hit me with this one off his new Mixtape Prince Of The Coast. Produced by Don Cannon, who I’m convinced only makes bangers. This is the FAB I want to hear, straight spitting.

Mistah FAB-Ungrateful

I also did a write up for the first leak off the mixtape, you can peep/download that here.

Lastly, if you haven’t checked him out on Chronicle Live with Gary Radnich yet DO THAT NOW. We’ll hopefully have more of these in the future…

When it comes to style both on and off the mic, few can fuck with Mr. Howl III. He recently unearthed this clip from 1986, and while there isn’t much resemblence in his rhyme style (other than being dope) I gotta give some dap on the fit…although, that was probably the norm back then. Yes, everything was better in those days.

Video is so dope, can’t wait for the album.

Yesyes.  Some heaters on this one. Cop it, rock it, play it for your friends and pass around the link. Love it or hate it, holler.

I’m Fuckin Awesome

The homie Gus Cutty shot over this two minute gem. It’s kind of an ill beat to freak, and he definitely smashes. Holler if you’re feeling it.

Get Busy

Mugzi on coaching and rapping. New album Solid should be dropping before the end of the year…I’m telling you, shit is dope.

Keep your eyes peeled back

Many thanks to Danny Bernadini, the only person I know making a living off writing. Propers.

Best MC to ever to do it. Never met someone more difficult to track down, but once you get every conversation is gold. Peep the interview in Submerge.

Don’t forget where you heard about the new album Revenue Retrieval first…
