Charmingly Ghetto "Glory" (Prod. by Introspective Minds)


I'll be honest, I get a lot of music. Most of the time I can't even process half of it. Sitting over in TMB's email account is something like 500 emails. There's no way we'll go through all those joints. So, often times music gets lost in the mix. It sucks but hey.

Earlier today Charmingly Ghetto hit me up via twitter asking to shoot some music my way. Like I said, there's a lot music already sitting that I haven't even had the time to check. Unlike some, blogging isn't my full time gig or one of my many hustles on the road to being a full time gig. I blog because I dig music and try to share as much of it as possible with the audience we have checking the site. That's the reality.

Anyway, since dude told me he was sending his music over and our interactions have always been cool on twitter I decided to go and weed through all the email to peep this cut. I'm happy I did. Glory, produced by Introspective Minds, is a solid joint from the Boston-bred emcee. I definitely dig this joint. Dope. Just like I did, go ahead and give this joint a listen and I'm sure you'll also dig it. Enjoy. Chea!

J-Live "The Live Identity" + ATL & NYC Release Party


Nicki Minaj calls her multiple personalities different names. Weird, I know. J-Live calls all of his J-Live. I guess that's what makes J-Live dope (among other things). The multi-talented producer, engineer, rapper, DJ and more dropped a pretty fresh project ahead of his new project S.P.T.A. due out 9/27. Check out the mixtape. And enjoy. Chea.

H.W. Offers Up "Golden Rule" x "Expiration Date" for Cancer Benefit Project


Man, fuck Cancer. Right? Right! I lost a cousin at a very young age to Cancer and have watched friends and family alike struggle with losing folks to the disease. It's ugly. H.W., a friend of TMB and a Massachusetts based emcee reached out to me regarding a Cancer benefit album he's apart of called Beats for Brains through Starving Raptors. I dig the concept and support the cause. He offered up two tracks on the project and there's a release show scheduled for this Friday in Dover, NH at Fury's Publick House. Two solid tracks and a great cause. Support if you can, I'm sure folks will appreciate it. Chea!

@apathydgz "Stop What Ya Doin" feat. Celph Titled (Produced by DJ Premier)



Apathy has more bars than 18th street in Washington, DC and an appetite for destruction. And not only does he murder beats, he also get hoes (and apparently there's an app for that, leading me to believe I might need to borrow his phone). Add in Celph Titled on the feature and DJ Premier on the production and your neck will file a restraining order against this track. Primo really put his foot into this one and Apathy and Celph killed their verses. This joint was released a few days ago and the only thing I have left to say is Honkey Kong, August 23rd bitches. Enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Oddisee "The Blooming"


Belgium's ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Music Group to put together a video for Oddisee's "The Blooming". According to MMG they were honored that ZBS wanted to "interpret the song and apply their vision to the track." Definitely a fresh joint that tells the journey of a young boy through life with Oddisee's smooth instrumental as the soundtrack of his story. Directed, shot and edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium, I dig this joint. Enjoy. Chea!
