What I'm Watching: ILLUS - "Forever" featuring Apathy
I'm a couple weeks late on this joint but fuck it. Late is better than never and this joint needs some more views. Illus and Apathy holding down CT on some boom bap Hip-Hop tip.
"Connecticut emcees, ILLUS and APATHY join forces to create a True-School HipHop anthem that combines hard-hitting, Boom-Bap production (by APATHY) with their signature lyrical fire that illustrates their love, passion, and dedication for the art and culture as well as their gift and ability to write powerful songs with substance, heart and soul. The Legendary DJ JOHNNY JUICE from PUBLIC ENEMY lays down the scratches making it very clear that these talented emcees will be here "Forever". Play this loud!"
Written and performed by ILLUS @AdamWallenta and APATHY @ApathyDGZ
Produced and Mixed by APATHY
Scratches by and Co-Produced by DJ JOHNNY JUICE @johnnyjuice
New ILLUS album- "FAMILY FIRST" available on iTunes now(http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/family-first/id523152919)

Mr. J. Medeiros - "The Rockies"
Damn, Mr. J went OFF on this joint! Whoa. Right from the jump of the play button, I was nodding the hell out of my head. Shoutout to Stro Elliot too for the production. Dope.
"Do you rap do you skate do you paint / State your art / Play your part before you sweat the scene / From the 719 and anyone with a dream / To the 303 and everyone in between / And the let the sun shine down on Colorado Springs."

Download: Gensu Dean - "Lo-Fi Finghaz Instrumentals"
Need some dope instrumentals from the good folks at Mellow Music Group?! Here you go. Enjoy.
Armed with a dusty SP-1200 and equally weathered records, Gensu Dean made a splash in the indie rap scene with his debut LP Lo-Fi Fingahz on Mello Music Group. The record was an uncompromising modern display of tradition—hardcore MC’s over hardcore beats, plain and simple. The project was a proud beacon for the old guard, a proclamation that hip-hop can grow but the roots will always be the foundation. Now Gensu and MMG are dropping the instrumentals.
