Mississippi native Synik & Alabama native Rod McCoy are collaborating on their new project “Selah”, which is defined as a combination between two verses. It only seems fitting that the two, who share a brotherly bond after serving time together in the military, spent 33 months putting together what can only be described as a cool, calm and player-like soundtrack.
After meeting in Turkey back in the summer of 2011 while on military assignment, it wasn’t long before they ran the streets of Izmir and treated them as if they were their own. Over the next 8 months the duo would go on to build their bond as artists and start collaborating on an idea for a project that was born in November of 2012. The idea came to life at Lee’s Motel in Douglasville, GA where all their writing and hard work came to a head and “Selah” was born.
Features are light, with label mates E-Jay and Blunder rounding out the appearances. Production comes from Skully Cruz, King Haze, The Audible Doctor, Jay B, VenoTheBuilder, fellow military veteran Manhe and more, all adding their sound to “Selah”. Setting themselves apart from the typical “turn up” sound, Synik & Rod are here to prove they are more than just another rap act coming out of the South.

Recorded in 2014 between April and July, ‘Summer Ransom’ is the 10th full length release from Chris Shreve’s brainchild Free the Optimus. Mixing a number of tried and true FTO soundscape architects (ILe Flottante, Shep Bryan, Handbook, P.U.R.P.) along with plenty of new connections (Whokairs?, Soul Monk, Dylan Guye) makes for what feels like a new classic in what is already a deep underground catalog. The Professor anchors all 18 tracks with features from Mike L!VE, DJ Jet, Jrusalam, Tuscon, Martin Snoddy and Trapbo’ Chad. The album was mixed and mastered by Whokairs? at his studio in Asheville, NC.
C.Shreve describes Summer Ransom as follows: “A new chapter in the same running dialogue. To Free the Optimus means to unlock your absolute best potential. This FTO installment is both the summer version and the ransom version. I was born in the summer–I want my time. We all want that. I’m claimin mine on some Seinfeld summer of George shit. This is an MC’s album. For rappers of all kinds, I want you to listen and feel some type of way. You either gon say go get em, or feel like i’m questioning your dopeness. And I am. If the shoe fits, y’all should wear it. I’m a true fan of the raw MCs out here doing this. I vibe with y’all in the front row. But that fake shit, that fraudulent garbage, nah man. F@ck you. We’re takin this thing ransom.”
