Young Money connections.

LIL ZA! THE YOUNGEST BALLA OF THEM ALL!

This entire post comes from me looking around the Young Money site for the first time and getting suprised by what I found. So I decided to write a bullshit post and share some random songs I thought of while strolling around the home site of this young southern rap crew.

I've been slow on getting up on the rise of Young Money and what that might mean, only a few years ago (maybe even last year) they where nothing but sparring partners for Lil Wayne. Only YM rapper I remember from those days is Currensy. That doesn't really matter though, because now, as I just realized, they're kinda big. Even commercially, they might be on television and radio in Sweden soon, and I'd be damned if my friends lil sisters could name more rappers in a southern rap crew than I can. It almost happend before.

As I looked thru the list of the 25 latest Young Money songs free for download I to my suprise noticed there was a remix with Lil Chuckee of a song by party-bounce duo Da Block Burnaz.

Da Block Burnaz - Late Night (Remix Ft Lil Chuckee)

These guys dropped this album in 2004:

...and on that album they had a really dope song which also made this classic compilation hosted by bounce producer hero Peacachoo:

Audio:

Da Block Burnaz - Work That Thing Ft Magnolia Chop

Gotty Boy Chris - She Make Me (Laard)(Prod Peacachoo)

That's the New Orleans connection I didn't know about. But that sorta made sense, Lil Wayne and all those Squad Up members (Gudda Gudda had a great mixtape this year) aswell as Lil Chuckee are New Orleans natives. What I had no clue about was that Young Money has ties to my 2007 summer hero Lil Za. I didn't even know he was old enough for Young Money yet. He has been around for a while, he and his crew B.O.C. They're from Dallas or some smaller town somewhere in east Texas. Apparently Lil Za is in a group called Young Hot Boyz with Lil Chuckee and texan Lil Twist, whom I only heard of before thru Lil Za's tweets. Young Hoy Boyz. What you think about that? I think it could be great, I wouldn't say it's Young Moneys biggest hope, but still, the idea of a teen version of the Hot Boyz irrationally makes me hope they will make music as good as the original Hot Boyz did when they where teenagers.

Young Hot Boyz - Have You Seen Her

If I have to decide I'd say I liked Lil Za better when he did swanging music, or maybe that's just how I labled him as an artists and I'm unable to appreciate the progress he has made. This is how awesome he used to sound when he was like seven or eight years old

i'm lil za, you won't believe i'm only eight
playin ps2, and man 2000 tre
no pants no play*
yes it's in stores
watch so many screens like that's my chores
screens on my floor, shoes air force ones
if it aint that, it's air jordans
lil za and dsr represent yo click
youngest balla of them all so my pockets thick

*i might have missheard that one, the line doesn't really make sense to me.


Lil Za - Raindrops Ft Tum Tum & Fat Bastard

It's swanging, Fat Beezy is on it, fuckin get with it.
And that's it.

Bonus audio:

Lil Za - Only Can Be Me

B.O.C. - Fuck All of Yall Ft Z-Ro

Oh, almost forgot. As I'm writing this Lil Za is tweeting more or less every minute to let us know his mixtape drops really really soon, like within hours. So get on his twitter!

ROACH GIGZ. BITCH I GO.

My Girl Look Better from Aris Jerome on Vimeo.

B.I.G. (Bitch I Go) has been one of the biggest prospects as future quality rap music makers for me since I first heard their, actually since I realized B.I.G. stands for Bitch I Go, and since I first heard On Arrythang 15-40 months ago. After that, I heard Mango which led me to start eating mango like once every two months instead of once every two years. That's how much I liked the song. Also I started talking about 'going mango', no one really picked up, too many people dislike language, same crowd who I never thought could be interested in teenager rap about fruit. That's probaly why I never got around to posting anything about them, that and tha fact that I gave a fuck about posting at all for some time around then, 15-35 months ago.

Bitch I Go - On Arrythang

Bitch I Go - Mango

Anyhoo, Mr Wheeler, a supposedly real person with a twitter account hit me up on twitter with these two videos. They're from B.I.G. group member Roach Gigz solo mixtape Buckets & Booty Calls. So that's the purpose of this post. He also had a mixtape out right before last years christmas, which was even doper than the Bucket tape.. The other B.I.G. member is eithter Rappin 4 Tay's son or daughter, I mostly read everywhere it's his daughter but I does really looks like a dude, I really don't know.

G-Side - Huntsville International (H.I.P.)

Does anyone not like this video?




Hello internets! For those of you who already checked this out, I'm mean it's been out for damn near a week, what do you think? What does this part of the internet think of G-Side from Huntsville, Alabama?

I realize rap music from the southern part of the South, a rap group hipster-dude-person Diplo has somehow been involved with, this might not be what you think you could enjoy listening to. Some of you might not even wan't to read or even hear about it. Well, I'm writing about it, and I'm sharing the music because it is very very good and totally free. The people at the Huntsville based record label Slow Motion Soundz posted this album for the world to download themselfs and I don't even think physical copies are available yet.

I did write about G-Side about a year ago somewhere else, that' right about the when I first heard of them and was lucky enough to hear their music. Beats are something way different, all the little tiny sounds and weird samples they use, weird techno samples that doesn't sound too like garbage like all techno ever made.. I have never been able to explain music in a way anyone could understand, so I'm not even going to try this time...
I have to say I'm still not as sold on H.I.P. as I was on their last album Starshipz & Rocketz, but nonetheless I consider it one of the best releases of the year. Throughout quality, only thing annoying is the skits, but when are skits not annoying right? Compared to Starshipz & Rocketz the two rappers ST 2 Lettaz and Clova are even better than they where then, and The Block Beatz production is amazing this time too.

Also, they sample DJ Magic Mike and use it as a chorus, you know I'm feeling the bass.

So here it is:



G-Side - Huntsville International (H.I.P.)

1. Intro - Rob Breezy
2. Huntsville International ft Sound of Silence (Prod: Block Beataz)
3. So Gone (Prod: L-Don)
4. What's It All About (Prod: Johnny Juliano)
5. Bandz Ft DJ Cunta (Prod: Bossman)
6. Paradise (Prod: Mick Vegas)
7. Matthew Africa Speaks

9. College Chicks (Prod: Block Beataz)
10. This Groove Ft P.H. (Prod: Block Beataz)
11. Feel The Ft 6 Tre Gangsta & AC (Prod: Block Beataz)
12. Who's Hood Ft Yelawolf (Prod: Block Beataz)
13. This Is Life (Prod: P.T.)
14. In The Rain Ft Bentley (Prod: Block Beataz)
15. Rising Sun Ft Kristmas (Prod: Block Beataz)
16. So Wonderful Ft Chrystal Carr, G-Mane And SupaKing (Prod: Block Beataz)

FREE ALBUM - Smigg Dirtee

Free shit!! There is probaly a whole bunch of people who don't know about Smigg Dirtee, but you should. And the free album is obviously a perfect opportunity. I mostly know of him from his numerous features on A-Wax's albums, those two must have made more music together than most duos. Great music.

Anyhow, Smigg is from Sacramento and has also stayed in San Diego and Vallejo, or so says his myspace. Besides working with A-Wax he has worked with well known artists such as Yukmouth, C-Bo, Messy Marv, J-Stalin, Max B and many more. But I never did check his solo work before. Mostyl when I like an artist I just wait till they drope something new and check that out rather than going thru all the records they dropped since they started rapping at 11, fuck that. Only solo song of him I've noticed before really is this,

Smigg Dirtee - Stay Fresh

...which was featured on a Doey Rock hosted mixtape from last year. Banging.

And here is a video to one of the tracks.



So, he is industry certified, but whatever, what matters is this album is hard as fuck. Not that he yells hella much, but it's some hard gangsta shit. I don't mind that. One unexpected thing doh, to me he don't really come off as hard looking gangster. His glasses and all. He looks smart, not like a gang banger. Not that I would know doh..
Check the video below and download the album if you like it, cause it's free. Courtesy of the mans twitter.

Random quote from album:

'come at me wrong yo that is not kosher,
you're not hard, i'm thinking pillows, on sofas'

That kinda cracked me up. Probaly because I don't like cushions, they are too soft.

Music:




Smigg Dirtee - Cross Em' Out & Put A K

1. Bloc Move
2. Did It On The Streets ft. Mack Twon
3. Ridin Out ft. Black Mikey & Boog
4. Fuc Them Other Niggas ft. I-Rocc, Mack Twon & Nuttz
5. Rap Sheet ft. Ricky Ruckus & El Cajon Tez
6. Posse Up (Remix) ft. Poodeezy & Young Rebz (prod. Vince V)
7. Rep Yo Hood ft. Techniec
8. Tell Yo Bitch 2 Come Here
9. Stand Tall ft. I-Rocc (prod. Haze Banga)
10. I'm A Gangsta
11. Come Home (prod. Sea Notes)
12. In This Life (prod. Vince V)

Oh yeah my favorite track is "Fuc Them Other Niggas". Hard shit.

DJ Spanish Fly mega post

I'm certain there is nothing that flows better in the background than a DJ Spanish Fly tape. Simple as fuck, the beat, the snare and the drum pattern creates the melody. There's plenty Triggerman samples, some N.W.A. samples here and there, slow tales about money, hoes, slanging thangs and spitting raps over dope beats.

It somewhat troubles me I can't really describe more precisely what an impact DJ Spanish Fly had to the scene of 80's and 90's Memphis and Tennessee DJ'ing and rap music. I simply wasn't around to experince the scene myself. But I do know he has been described as a pioneer and major influence to well known Memphis artists as DJ Paul, Al Kapone, 8Ball & MJG and Jazze Pha. As he desribes in a short interview at Fader from some time back, some of the biggest acts in the Memhpis scene today would learn about music from him while visiting the night club Club No Name, where he performed and DJ'd frequently during the latter part of the 80's and early 90's. For more information on the man and his place in rap music I suggest you visit his myspace, where there's a rather thorough biography.



The albums following are the what I've been able to gather from ze internet during the last couple of years since first discovering DJ Spanish Fly and finding I'm Da Nigga somewhere, probaly on Cocaineblunts old-old forums. Finding information about these releases haven't been easy, actually I haven't found any information besides somewhat accurate tracklists and years of release. I'm pretty sure this records never where sold properly thru a record company, but rather are cassete tapes sold directly from the man himself during the 80's and 90's. There is no information on his myspace about how to purchase any of his music. That's why I feel that it is okay for me to share so much of his music like this.

I suppose alot of you are new to DJ Spanish Fly's music and probaly will not download all these records. But if you do enjoy these youtube videos above and wan't to give one or two of his records a chance, I would suggest you check out either I'm Da Nigga (previously posted) or Going To Mr Z's, does two are definatley my favorite records from him. If you're in a little bit more substance, there's plenty of political/Chuck D-ish songs on Black Radio. Hope any of you will enjoy his music as much as I have, and for those of you who are already fans, I hope you will find something here you hadn't heard before.

As for artwork, at best it's a picture of the original cassette tape, and some of the other pictures are just random photos of Mr. Fly.

Max Minelli EP!

COPY PASTE FROM WYDU WHATEVER FUCK A UNIQE POST LOL



One of my favorite rappers and previously posted on Max Minelli just dropped this pre-album EP last week as a treat for what is to come on Pain Medicine, which will be his first post-Koch-adventure album. Last I heard Pain Medicine is set to drop November 24th on a independent label called Self Employed (SLF EMP). I'm not gonna speak to much on this, since my views on Max's music is thoroughly expressed in my older posts on him. So all I have to say really is that this is really good. I feel like Max Minelli's style and how he expresses himself with a somewhat new found authority is something the non-traditional southern rap listener could dig.

Also, if you're a fan. Check out this Word of South interview with Max from October 19th. Where he among other things speaks on his previous label situations with Koch:

"Basically brah, major labels, need to kill they selves. Straight up, because they don’t have a clue. And that’s how I feel. They need to kill they selves. It seems like; record companies are ran by some of the stupidest fucking people in the world. It seems like it. If you doing something right, let’s say me and you we had a shoe store, and if it’s failing. And it just continues to fail every year, more and more. Evidently we’re not doing something right. Evidently. So, when we keep doing the same thing, like, “Aaah, we not selling these Adidas and lets bring in more Adidas, that makes more sense!” That’s stupid. But if you call it stupid, that’d be crazy. That’s what record labels do."

Most beats and productions credits on the Pre-Med EP goes to South Park Mexican Happy Perez. Enjoy and cop his album when it drops.

Sirealz of Teamknoc First (?) mixtape..

From what I know this is the first solo project from Sirealz or Tib from Teamknoc. It's been hecka long since I've seen any mixtape from them, like one entire year or something, wow. I bumped it a couple of times, back and forth from uni, since he dropped it on his twitter and datpiff yesteday.. Couple of songs does sound a bit different from what I remember the Teamknoc mixtapes sounding like, but that's cool, because it isn't a Teamknoc mixtape.. Anyhow, here's the full mixtape, his own link. And my first listen stand outs:

Sirealz - Shooting Starz (Hosted by DJ WAAANNN) Full Mixtape

Tracklisting above on the back cover.. Standouts:

Sirealz - Bet Cha Baby Daddy Ft Roach Gigz & Drippy Drop

Sirealz - Jump Out The Box

Sirealz says it's okay to be different. This sounds like the sort of song Swedish self esteem focusing party-televison psyhologist Mia Törnblom would make if she had the will or talent to be a based rapper. Still very dope..

Mia Törnblom

Still very dope.. A couple of months ago I somehow managed to get a hold of some mp3's of a few Sirealz and Teamknoc songs that may or may not be recent. I'm pretty sure most of these songs aren't on any other release. Might be one or two from their 2008 mixtape with previously unreleased songs.. But some songs are definitely new, and not on this mixtape.. So I decided to share those songs... Since I didn't know what release they were on back when I downloaded them first I decided to call the group of songs Sirealz Juice 2009 and Teamknoc Juice 2009

Music.

Sirealz - Sirealz Juice 2009

1. Dumbass Clean Ft Blapstar (This is dope, should have def been on Shooting Stars if you ask me)

2. Tight Ass Jeans (dope!!)

3. Cupcake Music

4. Cool White People (right this is on Shooting Stars)

5. Please Don't Let Me Go (autotune)

6. Four 15's (not same version as the one on Shooting Stars)

Teamknoc - Teamknoc Juice 2009
or megaupload

1. Drums And Based

2. Im A Gigger

3. Im A Party

4. Day N Nite (Remix) Left N Right

5. Everyday Ft Gotti

6. Fat Guy In Little Coat

7. Cakey Booty Blapstar (Frosty Pooky Volume 1) (this is probaly old)
