Blitz Inc. Dirty feat Vinnie Paz and Esoteric

Jedi Mind Tricks -  A Storm of Swords

Village Voice Premiere: bit.ly/1uw09tK
A trio of rugged rhymers: Sean Price, the Brooklyn-bred lyricist that's quick to knock your block off Jailhouse Rock style; Diabolic, the aggressive Suffolk County rhyme sayer that spits with reckless abandon; and Vinnie Paz, the misanthropic Philly native who stays ready for battle, all make up the foundation for "Game Time," the latest release from Diabolic's forthcoming 'Fightin Words' LP, that's set to drop 9/16. Although Diabolic might not be a household name just yet, his accolades are worth mentioning: earning a spot on Billboard's Hip Hop and R&B charts, as well as receiving the HHUG Best Album of the Year Award with his debut 'LP, Liar & a Thief,' are quite the accomplishments. Over a slick cut from the Brooklyn beat-smith, 5th Seal, who manages to squeeze everybody from Das EFX to the late Guru in this Premier'esque scratch hook, "Game Time" takes things back to the time where lyrics were valued over everything. Pre-orders for 'Fightin Words' are now available through iTunes via digital download, or Fat Beats on either CD or 2xLP.

Slaine is no stranger to success. The Boston-native has had movie roles alongside A-list stars such as Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel and most recently Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart. He’s made records with Hip Hop legends DJ Premier, Cypress Hill, Action Bronson, Snoop Dogg, Statik Selektah, Raekwon & U-God of Wu-Tang and was a founding member of the super-group La Coka Nostra with Everlast, DJ Lethal, Danny Boy of House of Pain, and Ill Bill of Non-Phixion. Slaine has landed four albums in the top 20 on Billboard’s hip hop chart since 2009 both as a solo artist and with La Coka Nostra and has appeared in nine films in the same time span.  He's achieved heights that most only dream of, not only in Hip Hop but also in Hollywood.
 
As an emcee, Slaine is known for his ability to tell dark stories and take listeners into a world of drugs, violence, love, loss, pain, dreams and nightmares. He has drawn from that same well to bring authenticity to some of best crime dramas of this generation. Slaine fast became a blue-collar hometown hero and was stepping off movie sets, tearing down sold out live shows, and working in studios until the sun came up. But part of what made his storytelling and performances so realistic was that they were inspired by his own reality and created from the center of a drug epidemic that he was fast becoming a casualty of. As his success grew, the same things that served him so well creatively were destroying his personal life and quite literally killing him. Financial ruin, emergency room visits and public blow-ups began to overshadow the talents that had given him such a promising career and the walls were closing in all around him. On March 2nd, 2014, at the end of an ugly bender, Slaine decided that enough was enough and on the 3rd day of March he started his journey in sobriety. He has not had a drink or a drug since.
 
His personal life slowly, but surely, started to regain traction when he stopped drinking and using drugs, but there were still doubts as to whether or not a return to form creatively would follow. And though he did release The King of Everything Else at a time when he was already six months sober, the album was a drug-fueled rampage which was already recorded during the end of his using. Early sobriety studio sessions with producer The Arcitype would end abruptly, as discomfort set in and writer’s block was an issue for Slaine for the first time in his career. The following two-years would be a daily exercise in regaining confidence and finding his way back through a livelihood that was littered with trap doors and vivid memories of the habits that led to his demise. The result of his daily practices rendered a series of projects, the first of which comes early this fall.
 
On September 23rd Slaine returns with a brand new, eight track EP, Slaine is Dead.  It focuses not on his success, but more so walking out of his darkest hours and confronting his failures. In a career marked by dark lyricism and introspection this project is both, but also finds Slaine exploring hope, faith and courage. He never abandons his roots, but gives us a new perspective on old themes. He vividly depicts the life of a drug dealer on "Pusher", shares his drive since childhood to make his mark on "Legendary" and ultimately finds salvation on "Coming Home".  He calls on long time friends and collaborators, Vinnie Paz, Ill Bill, Statik Selektah, Termanology, Demrick DJ Eclipse and Rite Hook for support on the record, and adds an unlikely collaboration with vocalist, Jared Evan. With the help of fellow executive producer and beat-smith, The Arcitype, who handled the bulk of the production, Slaine Is Dead has achieved a sound that is gritty, polished, and moving; and Despite the EP’s title, this project marks a true and definitive rebirth for Slaine.

In an industry saturated by rappers and beat makers the true emcee and producer are quickly becoming a rare breed. Fortunately their are few who still keep true to the essence and continue to carry the torch in today's music climate. The music of 5th Seal embodies hip hop in it's purest form. His credits speak volumes, Method Man, Cortez, Immortal Technique, Joell Ortiz, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Krs One, Rass Kass, Kool G Rap, Rakim and Canibus are just some of the artists who have recorded on the music of 5th Seal. 5th Seal is a Brooklyn native who made his name on New York City's underground beat battle circuit, with late partner Metaphysic (RIP). The duo dominated the battles and secured their stake in the New York scene as the producers on the rise. 5th Seal has been living up to the anticipation with various placements, working with hip hop legends, independent artist and various mainstream acts. In addition to albums he has also produced scores for television including the "PEPSI MAX Hip Hop Audible" commercials which featured Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dog and played seventeen weeks on your flat screen. 5th Seal is the producer to watch as he continues to bring that heat on his road to hip hop infamy.
