Keno - "Get Down" (Prod. By RU)

Back to the swing of things in this new year with a brand new, straight heat rock with Keno on the mic sounding hungrier than a mug. He murders an older beat, "frknjst getdwn", by Ru's beat tape titled "Rappers Jst Rap Onit". Hearing this beat, I can easily see why Keno felt the need to jump on it and he did not disappoint. Dude's a problem. Don't say I didn't try telling you. Check it!

Madden Miles Presents "Hero Music"

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this project and a year and a half later, Wisconsin beat-maker Madden Miles delivers Hero Music. The project, which Miles produced, engineered and mixed, features some talented rappers (e.d.g.e., Jeff Spec, Born Infinite and Keno), an incredible vocalist (Amber Ruthe) and some solid added string (Alida Lacosse). It's so dope to see someone you've watched grow musically put out such an incredible and cohesive project. It's definitely worth the listen and the super low price of 34 minutes of your time. You can't beat a deal like that. Enjoy. Chea!

"Hopeless meets struggle, meets uplifting, meets rising up, combined with heavy wide/ sample free symphony/synthonic based production. I wanted to challenge myself and get my name among the elite in production. I wanted to make something streamline, yet cohesive that any fan of music can like. Live this record like a movie and be the hero as a listener."

What I'm Watching: Keno - "Fly Nature"

"It's fly nature / got me high as sky scrapers..."

Shoutout to the homie Keno on this album, the1derful, which is a really good album. You get 8 tracks for $3, people. And not just 8 regular tracks. A dope album that is long enough to wanna hear it a few times in a row and short enough to get addicted to it. Peep the visuals to "Fly Nature".



Cop the new tape the1derful!

Keno comes through with another soulful, content equipped album titled "the1derful" that seems to have me hitting repeat a few times. The positive of having only 8 tracks is that you feel you didn't get enough. Combine that with Keno's ability as an emcee and you got a pretty dope and coincidentally titled album indeed. For only $3 minimum, you get to experience the same. Peep it.

theOTHERSIDE "It Ain't But It Is" x "Gee Whiz"

Keno and Sauce Fonda are two of my favorite dudes. Talented and cool as shit. In addition to being a part of the Sacramento based T.U.S. (The Usual Suspect) with Chuuwee, J.GOOD, Konkwest, Haz Solo (Milwaukee), Jonathan Lowell (Boston), Drian, Tellapath, and Tone Da Under Dog - the duo make up theOTHERSIDE. Keno provides the rhymes and Sauce provides the soulful beats. With a few solo offerings under their belt, recently they decided to drop two previously unreleased bombs on the Internets. "It Ain't But It Is" and "Gee Whiz" are both dope cuts. Two tracks without a home on a project, they now find a place on these pages. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
