Hip-Hop, Rap | A$AP Rocky – Angels

Posted by on October 31, 2013

This record “Angels” by A$AP Rocky is dope as hell. The visuals were co-directed by the rapper himself and Luke Monaghan in the streets of New York City. In the video, Rocky and his crew are out terrorizing the streets on BMX bikes, smoking weed, and wearing the Jason mask. In his rap, A$AP spits “I brought the garden back, I brought Harlem back,” those are two big statements, but I’m liking this MC’s progression in the hip hop game since he first came on the scene. This is a must listen!

Call it a hiatus, a sabbatical, a comeback, a leave of absence; however you may see it, Azad Right is back like he never left.  The expectations from hip-hop artists has shifted over the past 5-7 years.  Fans expect new music and they expect it often.  Azad took a step back to catch his breath after coming out of the gates with fire.  Time to analyze, work, focus his sound, perfect his craft.  “Now I Know” is a compilation of thoughts, emotions, & knowledge obtained during his time off.  With production from his right hand man, Jason Marquez, who crafted a bellowing beat that kicks Azad’s music career back on track.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | Scolla – Peace

Posted by on October 22, 2013

scolla - peace

Clocking in at two minutes, thirty-two seconds, my initial reaction to Scolla’s “Peace” was: “I want more!” The soulful hip-hop track pulls you in with soothing vocals that you hope never leave your ears, and keeps you interested when Scolla’s deep and choppy verse appears.

Like many of us, Scolla asks for peace and love. A message clearly reflected in his music within the subtle tones and gentle lyrics. I highly recommend giving “Peace” a listen, as well as perusing the rest of Scolla’s RLES crew. The album OG Cool is on the way, so be sure to check back in for that.

Enjoy!
