REP CT MOVEMENT: SPLAT860

As many of you know I recently released a track called "REP CT". After releasing this track I invited artists from CT to reach out to me, get the beat for free, and create their own version to show how they "REP CT"! 

"I am a Rapper, Producer, DJ, and own and operate one of the largest blogs in Connecticut! I wanted to combine all these things and hear local artists REP CT! So I made this beat (Producer), then I scratched my voice on the intro(DJ), then I recorded my verse(Rapper). I am also sending the beat out to anybody who hits me up and shows support and look forward to hearing how other artists REP CT and I will post all the remixes on WWW.CTHIPHOPBLOG.COM!" - SeeS

NGMC: SPLAT 860 "DROUGHT" FT. KING ROCKY B AND ROBOY BEANZ

No Gimmick Music Coalition is doing major things in CT. I fully support the movement and respect the grind, diversity, and commitment to success all the members have. S/O Phil Blount and of course Splat860, King Rocky B, and RoBoy Beanz. This track was one of the first tracks I heard from Splat and the hook is beyond catchy, the verses are dope, and the beat is on point. This is a strong record and in my opinion one of Splat's best videos to date. This is a must watch! Be sure to subscribe to them on YouTube as well! - SeeS
