Fokis’ welcomes Punchline of EMC to the Loyalty Digital Corp. family
For Punchline & Loyalty Digital Corp. 2013 has started off on a very good note. After releasing a successful album last summer called “Underground Superstar” Punchline is back at it with a new venture in place. Punchline has teamed up with Loyalty Digital Corp. and is gearing up to release a Mix Tape in the first quarter and a new album later in the year.
“Punchline is one of the nicest emcee’s in the game and he has a very rich history. – Says Fokis. His grind is impeccable, we are truly excited about him joining the team”. With that being said, here is a new joint by Punchline Ft. Tony Ozier called “Bread” Produced by Nother’n Lights

With a working history that dates back nearly as far as Wu-Tang’s, 7L & Esoteric are undisputedly Boston and underground hip-hop royalty. CZARFACE offered the duo an opportunity to pick up where they left off over a decade ago with Inspectah Deck, as he joined them on the title track to their revered Speaking Real Words EP (1999). Deck says “Speaking Real Words is one of the many reasons we are now CZARFACE. After doing that song, it was only right we collaborated on a project to cater to the millions of fans that still support hip-hop from the underground.”
With guest appearances from Ghostface, Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Roc Marciano, Vinnie Paz, Cappadonna & additional production from DJ Premier, you can expect nothing less then top notch production and rewind worthy lyricism from CZARFACE. “We are CZARFACE because they know our faces and they know us for being dope rhyme suppliers, like Tony Montana we are known for our balls and our word; lyrically we will conquer the world and everything in it” states Deck. Esoteric explains further, “CZARFACE is a vigilante, anti-hero character who serves as the face of the project, and his focus is on annihilating the media darlings that the mainstream caters to.”

Having previously produced Tommy Roots ‘Noughts & Crosses’ EP, which featured a track titled ‘Champion’ with Universal Records signee Benjamin A.D, Natty Strange is now ready to take on the globe with his debut EP, which is available as a free download now.
Hailing from South London, ‘Connect 4’ features a collection of 5 tracks from the artist. The stand out tracks from the EP are the self-produced ‘This Is The Life’ and ‘Upside Down’, two hard-hitting tracks which demonstrate his phenomenal wordplay and vocal ability.
The line in opening track ‘Winners Circle’, “They say that life is short, but what else do you know that’s longer? Keep showing me love, I’ll return it like Wilfred-Tsonga”, is a great example of the rapper using his lyrics to reflect on life’s emotions, and it is these emotions that listeners of his music can relate to, which is what makes Natty Strange such a diverse and talented MC.
Production on the E.P. comes courtesy of Natty Strange himself, SK of 8 Bit Music, Tony Tokyo (Chockz) and Chris Prythm (Lloyd Banks).
The 22 year-old is set to release his debut mixtape ‘Last of a dying breed’ early next year – so keep a look out for this up and coming artist in 2013.
Producer/DJ team Reef Ali & DJ Grazzhoppa, give the first leak off their forthcoming mixtape You Asked For It.

Snippets for Dirty Dike’s new EP ‘The Sloshpot EP’ produced by Mr Boss. The project is dropping on High Focus Records on the 12th Jan 2013 and will be available on CD, Digital & Limited edition vinyl.
This is a compilation download featuring 43 artists. It has been put together by Kevin Epps to raise funds for a friend who has been down on his luck of late.
It’s best to let Kevin explain the project…..”This project came about because of one of my brother’s, Brandon Scott Summers, was going through some tough times. He’s been out of work for some time, and he is on the verge of getting evicted from his apartment. He’s actively looking for work, but just can’t catch a break yet. So, I thought I could set something up so that us artists could help out in SOME way, regardless of how much money we had. A donation drive! To put you in the mind of one of those telethons where there’s like a talent show involved. But, with a compilation mixtape that’s downloadable for free with the option to donate anything you can. You can enter in any price for the download. 0 for free, or any dollar/Pound/Euro amount for a donation. What a turnout! We got 43 artists to combine their talents for this 41 song compilation! All donations will go to Brandon Scott Summers to help him at least stay in his home for another monent to buy him more time to find some work. We all, especially Brandon, appreciate anything you can do. If you can donate, just enjoy the sounds of pure music!”
Now I’ll be honest fam, I’ve Ummed and Errrred about posting this, what with the the global economic situation we all know someone like Brandon who could do with our help especially here in the UK, so what makes Brandon special???? Well you know the music is DOPE for starts, and if 43 artists can come together to help a brother out, then the least i could do is give it a post. This is Hip Hop, we are a family, lets help one another out more…..

ILL-LEGITIMATE are… Anonymouz, AOK, Azrael, Copasetic, DJ Booz, Nicky Scarfo, P Butta, Risskant and Sythe. A ten man international crew, their goal is beyond self-mastery or a mastery of the martial-arts and its elements; it is essentially a philosophy of existence focused on mental and spiritual growth, executed musically and in the streets in what they feel is the purest form possible…raw poetry delivered with force over timeless, robust beats.
