Lyriciss "Big Gold Chain"

As I began to compile my own write up, I think the homie Richard over at DJBooth.net sums it up best. Definitely a dope track. Look out for The Balance EP: Money EP over at the Booth sometime today. In the meantime enjoy Big Gold Chain.

"Is it worth risking your freedom and potentially your life for a pile of cash and a "Big Gold Chain"? Crazy as the bet may seem, all-too-many inner-city youths are willing to put everything on the line for a chance to shine. On Lyriciss’ latest single, the DMV rhymesayer offers listeners a little insight into social and economic conditions that turn poverty-stricken individuals into compulsive paper-chasers, and the often dire consequences of such an addiction."

The Cranberry Show "Traffic Lights"

Those Cranberry Show boys are bad. And bad meaning good. Ha! They're an acquired taste but I fux with their music (and have for a while now). They've been gaining a lot of traction as they continuously release new music from their Milwaukee home base. With Paranormal Karaoke on the way, TCS drops Traffic Lights off the DJBooth.net and donutsandmilk.com sponsored project due out February 1st. I dig this cut. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

Chels "The Lesson" feat. Ace Boogie

I remember the first time I heard Chels. I thought she was cool and had some potential. But there was something missing. I was very honest with her team about this. So, that's why it's so cool to see such growth in her newest cut featuring Ace Boogie off of her upcoming True School For The Moon Children (TSFTMC) project. The Lesson is exactly the potential I heard in the 19-year-old New Orleans emcee and it's dope to hear that's she's really finding and exploring her voice. I dig it. Solid cut. Chea!

MaG "Freedom"

I bumped into MaG's music while doing a write up over at DJBooth.net. I thought the dude was dope and had a fresh sound. I've been checking his music ever since. Last week he hit me with his lastest cut Freedom, off his upcoming free LP hosted by Mick Boogie and the folks over at RCRDLBL.com. Produced by Ta-Ku, this is a solid joint. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

Boog Brown - "Detroit" (prod. Apollo Brown)

This connection between Boog and Apollo on this track sounds so damn effortlessly mesmerizing. Boog Brown is easily creeping up on my list of adamantly admired emcees with every release she puts out or is on with Apollo being on my similar list for producers. Gotta love it when dopeness like this is free. Listen, download, and bump it.

Boog Brown is getting ready for a big 2012: she just dropped her full length remix project The Brown Study Remixes; has a free birthday party planned at 529 in Atlanta on February 9th w/ yU performing live; had her first vinyl 7" dropped today, January 17th; is releasing her debut album with Apollo - Brown Study - on special edition vinyl in March; and is about to record a new project with famed West Coast fOnkateer Georgia Anne Muldrow that will be out this fall on Mello Music Group. To ring in the year though, Boog is giving away an all new track she & Apollo Brown put together titled "Detroit."
