SEES MUSIC "LETITBREATHE" - NEW MUSIC!!

New Music!! Be sure to check out my latest track "LETITBREATHE" which addresses critics and how their opinions of me are irrelevant to my process of making art! Freedom of expression for me has no room for criticism from people I don't know or respect. Expressing yourself is not judging others. Learn to express yourself freely, not in the context of other peoples judgement. LET YOURSELF BREATHE! - SeeS Music

CB SMOOTH - ALL MY LOVE PROD BY ZAYTOVEN

If you don't think this hook is an immediate banger, then we will clearly disagree. This song captures an energetic mood that will be undeniable by countless fans. CB Smooth is on the rise! - CTHipHopBlog

           

Hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, CB Smooth is a rapper and singer who focuses on Hip Hop but also infuses his work with the Blues, Jazz, R&B, and Bounce. Part of Dame Grease’s Wave Gang Crew, CB Smooth has partnered with the independent label Entertaining Mindz to release his debut album “All I Do” as a follow up to his mixtape “Country Boy Smooth.” Mixed by famed engineer Fabian Marasciullo, “All I Do” features Jazze Pha, 8Ball, Boldy James, Cory Jones, and Big Moeses. The first single, “Never Had” featuring Johnny P, was produced by legendary hitmaker Zaytoven.

CB Smooth’s love for Hip Hop started at a young age. At 8 years old, CB purchased Naughty by Nature’s “Poverty’s Paradise” album, and soon followed that up by picking up 2Pac’s “All Eyez On Me” and Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die.” In addition to Pac and Biggie, CB’s favorite artists growing up included R. Kelly, G-Dep, Rakim, DMX, Max B, 50 Cent, DJ Screw, Cam’ron, Black Rob, and Ma$e. These artists proved to be incredibly influential on CB Smooth’s style as a Hip Hop artist. His love for the soulful nature of R. Kelly’s song-writing, as well as the infectious hooks of Max B’s music, provided him with the insight to focus not just on the standard bars dropped by most emcees, but also on the choruses, bridges, and production that are key in making quality music. For CB Smooth, the best things in life are music, basketball, boxing, and hustling.

Heron Rodriguez - A Dope Rapper EP (Extras)
Produced in its entirety by Karltin Bankz
Purchase link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-dope-rapper-ep-extras/id1082768655

A Dope Rapper EP: Extras began October 2015 during A3C and BET HipHop weekend in Atlanta. With only a few songs completed, Heron ventured to Los Angeles where the project was given more content and finished (hence the subtitle EXTRAS). The short album is Heron's first.

Dope, as the kids would say, is an expression of exuberance and delightfulness. But in street terminology, dope is a serious subject matter. It is serious to the producer, the user and the public. No laughing matter.

EXTRAS is fully loaded with production from beat maker Karltin Bankz. Released on February 19th, 2016, A Dope Rapper EP comes hard with records such as "925" and "Trips". Dope.

1. 925
2. Tell Me
3. Double Up

5. Any Many
6. Trips

Originally from New Haven, Connecticut, Drew Martz is making a name for himself in the city of Chicago. The young hip-hop artist himself has been steady focused on making music since he was fourteen-years-old. Gaining inspiration from iconic figure – Eminem, Drew has worked his way up to create his own sound. Coming from elsewhere other than Chicago, Drew has had to work ten times harder than a Chicago native in order to fire up a fanbase for himself. Including a show out in L.A., he makes little moves here and there hoping to one day soon add up to something grande. All while being an enrolled student of Columbia College Chicago, Drew continues to produce and release his own music. Not yet have gotten to where he wants to be all Drew hopes for in the end is for synonymous recognition.

PALMA - NEW MUSIC - DRESS CODE

PALMA is 21 year old CONNECTICUT representative who incorporates in-depth lyricism to showcase his unique mental ingenuity. In tandem with the unexploited subject matter riddled throughout the lyrics, PALMA adds the neccessary catchiness needed to have you repeating the lyrics without even realizing.

DRESS CODE is the perfect testament to this.  PALMA takes this opportunity to flex his lyrical stamina with his unique visualizations lyrically. Combined with his unparalleled flow and wordplay, by the end of the record don't be surprised if you catch yourself talking about "all black whips that look Gothic.

CT ARTIST NEW VIDEO: L A W "THE DIFFERENCE"

Would like to shout out L A W for reaching out to me and continuing to show support. He asked me to check out his latest video and because using the blog to promote CT artists is what I do, and the video and track is dope, especially from a lyrical stand point, I have posted it below. In his own words..

..."From Big Daddy Kane's R.A.W., to Kendrick's Control verse every MC has a track on their album that's an ode to lyricism but also demolishes the competition. That's what The Difference is to the Law Library album. That straight spitting, non conceptual, bar for bar onslaught that Law is known for."
