I've heard the song. I watched the video. Then I started to write and I thought to myself, Mike Jaggerr did a great job describing it himself. Why reinvent the wheel, right? Right. Check the back story below and peep the vid up top. I dig it. Chea!
Last year, when I released my first mixtape, The Eleventh Hour, this song, "Away," was the first thing we sent out to blogs. I feel like once you hear "Away," you begin to learn my story and who I am as a person. So for Eleven30, I felt it was only right to officially start promoting it with the "Away" video, to continue that narrative.
Creating "Away" was an important milestone in my comfort level of expression in my art. Just by being able to say things on record that I'd never say in conversation. I like to think of it as one of my first creative doors to freedom that I walked through.
The video speaks on where I've been and where I want go; away from dysfunction and chaos, yet that's not always easy, right? Chike and the Creative Control team understood that and they crafted a vision that reflects that: the kid who wants to pack up and go, but his options seem limited. The thing is, you never know where your angels are and how they're guiding you along the way.

With "The Life" being the first street single in Born I Music's Game of Thrones single series, leading up to the release of his album "King of Kings", you get a feeling that the album is going to be incredible. Here he travels around the DMV showing love to the folks that's holding him down on the endorsement deals side. The proof that hard work, dedication and talent can take you places is apparent in this video. Peep it.
DC-based rapper Born I Music unites with G-Unit engineer and producer Ky Miller as well as multiple sponsors to release his new song and video "The Life". DL free here: http://soundcloud.com/bornimusic/the-life

New version of an original yet the originality of their music and talent remains.
¡MAYDAY! marches further into Strangeland for the remix of “Death March” featuring label mates Brotha Lynch Hung & Ces Cru. Original version on ¡MAYDAY!’s critically acclaimed Strange Music debut album “Take Me To Your Leader”.
Off Oddisee's upcoming joint titled "People Hear What They See", he releases a track letting folks know that sometimes, it isn't always about going and going and going but to slow down, relax, and enjoy the moment. Very talented artist here and one of my favorites. Check it.
The homie e.d.g.e. serves up the last single from his upcoming project, Destroy & Rebuild, presented by TMB, the9elements.com and flydefinition.com. Produced by The Jake (1/2 of the production team The Accomplices), the two cook up a solid track with The Jake's soulful production and e.d.g.e.'s lyrical onslaught that narrates a cautionary tale of monetary obsession which leads to personal downfall. Destroy & Rebuild on the way. In the meantime, enjoy the music. Chea!

Pretty cool album by the homie MacGuyver recently released got a couple of repeat plays thanks to lyricism he displays throughout. Add the element of the features like AmbreKohl, Born I Music, Cheyne, Dice Digaveli, The Real Jay Miils, Twin Waze, and Xkaliburand their talent and you get a nice mix that leaves you interested throughout. The only thing I may have wanted out of The Rum Diary was probably less mainstream beats we're already familiar with but even through that, he puts his own spin to them. Download it for free, play it, let heads now.
