Hip-Hop, Videos | Riz – Waiting Up ft. Drake [Behind The Leaked Record]

UPDATE: Before I even had a chance to post the track, SoundCloud informed me the new record was copyrighted. With some further investigation, I discovered the track leaked and there is some controversy behind how and why the track hit the blogs. If you watch the video above, Riz explains how the record came about and how his relationship with Drizzy’s team has since gone sour. If the claims in this video are truthful and the facts are how they appear, I have a new found respect for Riz as an artist. Emerging into the game is not easy. Whether you’re digging through couches for nickels and dimes or have trust fund labels at your disposal, you still have to put in the work. From what I have gathered, Drake’s label took advantage of a young artist and failed to hold up their end of the agreement.
Whether or not this track was purposely released (Riz say’s it wasn’t), and whether Drake’s manager is riding around hanging a $30,000 wrist gem out the window, people have now heard the track and know the name Riz. Publicity stunt? Some may see it that way. It’s all gravy until we heard more from Riz and can evaluate him more as an artist. Be on the lookout for new (legitimate) music coming soon!
**NY hip-hop artist, Riz, is breaking new grounds with his most recent single featuring Drake, which will be featured on his debut album, The Blindside. Until now, I’ve never heard of this cat, but with nearly 60,000 Twitter followers , it’s evident he’s been doing several things right for a fair amount of time now. Although some of that fan base could be due to the fact he’s worked with industry bosses such as Whoo Kid, Mr. Thanksgiving aka DJ Drama, Lloyd Banks, Yo Gotti, Trey Songz & more, he holds his own on this new track. Produced by 40, Drake kicks off the song with some relationship rhymes and Riz follows with some emotional lyrics we can all relate to. **

Kinetics & One Love conceptualize the story of their “Butterfly Effect” through some very impressive visuals. Model Tereza Kacerova and producer Kenna Okoye play their roles well, reflecting past situations that in the end, may have been for the better. Very few artists can recite a story with such potent lyrics, but Kinetics delivers time and time again. If you haven’t grabbed their full project, What Model Are You?, DL that below as well.

Hip-Hop, Rap | 360 – “Everywhere and Back” + “Woulda Kid”
Posted by Grubeats on March 27, 2012
360 has been letting loose track after track in preparation for his debut album coming next Tuesday, April 3rd. The NYC hot spitter released the title track, “Everywhere and Back” a couple days ago and have to say it’s one my favorite tracks to date. “What Goes Up”, which was produced by J. Cole was fire as well as his remix to “Mr. Blue Sky”, but more importantly he is bringing it on every track. The second track, “Would Kid” features scratches from DJ Wonder and was produced by The Dark Nyte. #EveryWhereAndBack April 3!

Hip-Hop | Kinetics & One Love ft. Krystyle – 845 (Prod. by Kid Vision)
Posted by Grubeats on November 4, 2011
Kinetics teams up with fellow Hudson Valley native to put on for their hometown, the 845. Although you probably expected production from One Love on this track, Kid Vision did the work behind the words as One Love polished it off. You probably recognize Kid Vision from his work with Tayyib Ali or Kam Royal. Here’s what Kinetics & One Love had to say about the upcoming months,
“Also…Kinetics & One Love are proud to announce the upcoming release of a new album, slated to drop on iTunes in early 2012. To hold you over until then, we will be releasing a song a week, every Wednesday, until the album drops – all new material in addition to the all-new material on the album. Next week, expect a dope collaboration with fellow NYC native Accent & DJ Big Red of Radical Something.”
