We’re really being served up some tasty treats today, and aren’t you glad we’re sharing them all with you? D3troitStyle recently shot New Haven, MI rapper Knewport’s latest video for his track ‘Under The Bridge’. It’s a straight East Coast vibe video, and keeps the visuals simplistic and colourful. I’d never listened to Knewport before, so this was as knew to me as it will be to you any of you not aware of the man. It’s got well versed, urgent flow and he takes the obvious old skool influences and mixes them well wiith some new skool flavour. Without doubt the second verse is the best and finishes off the song beautifully. This is for the straight hip-hop rats; no bling or ‘bitches’. Just snapback hat, dirty sneakers, black vest, good rhymes.
For fans of God Cypher Divine, Army Of The Pharaohs, Pacewon & Mr Green, Madlib.
Check the video then take a look over at the Soundcloud page for some freebies, and a few cheeky freestyles.
You know what we need? A few more drums in tracks that don’t sound like you made them on fruityloops. Jokes, jokes. But it is refreshing (I’ve said that quite a lot this afternoon) to hear a track this well produced, and not too over done to the point of sounding like the whole thing was made entirely on a keyboard, without a live instrument in sight. I didn’t even tell you the flow of Tha Soloist is second to none did I? I did then. Well timed, smartly versed and a gravel touch to the dude’s tones.
British produced (Welsh to be completely correct), and American rapped, mixed by Trillian of Redphone Records. For fans of Krate Krusaders, classic Wu-Tang, dirty ghetto kids. If you’re a fan of B-Boy/Girling then you’ll really like the video. Go feast your eyes. ‘Pay Homage’ comes from the Solmatic EP 2012.
Sometimes it’s the most refreshing surprise to have an artist you’re already a fan of come out with a track/album/video that completely an utterly nails it. It only solidifies the reasons you like this artist in the first place. ‘Father’s Day’ is Genesis Elijah’s new song, and it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about. I mean I know I like Genesis Elijah, and I know he’s a solid rapper, but this track just reaffirms this. If you’re a fan of him, or even if you’re not I strongly suggest that you take a listen to this song; it’s quickly become one of my favourite Genesis’ tracks, and it’s only been released for a little while. (Really digging the cover artwork too).
You can buy the song for the grand total of 79pence on iTunes. That’s less than a bottle of Pepsi Max, and much better for you.
Mistah Biggz of B-iLLA drops this heartfelt BANGER over a Kendrick Lamar instrumental (HiiiPoWeR) and really delivers it hard hitting and straight to the point ..

Hey, so I’ve come out from under my rock for 5 minutes to educate all these eeediots about what good lyrical content actually is. Up in tha club, smoking a blunt is all very well but if that’s all you’re saying, then you my friend are wasting your spotlight and everyone else’s time. There are a million other people who would do a better job than you, and the only reason you’ve been given the chance is because the mainstream want us (I use that term loosely. It can be used in a whole heap of different contexts in relations to class, race and gender but for sake of argument I’m saying ‘us’ as in the hip-hop community) to play into their idea of what hip-hop and rap is. Full of shallow, money hungry, stupid, sexist, homophobic, self-hating fools. Because every time you talk about shooting some dude for the sake of ‘your’ block, just remember it isn’t yours. It’ll never be yours, and it’s not worth one ounce of blood. Unless you control the flow of capital of course? No? I didn’t think so. You have more cause to fight the person that owns that block and put you in this environment, not the guy in the same situation as you two streets away. Or every time you talk about bitches, fags or put down other races you’re simply playing into the hands of people that want you to destroy yourself, whilst making money off you. Ignorance isn’t cool, read a book and learn some new words.
We need more Lupe’s, not Lil Waynes.
Now I’m back to work, see you in a week kids. Aimee.
