Hella classic feel in the beat. Solid hook. Good work.

D.I.T.C. • CAVIAR DREAMS • FEAT O.C. (PROD. BY MOTIF ALUMNI)

Known for rockin’ over instrumentals from the likes of Marco Polo and The Alchemist, Saga continues that trend of linking with top-notch producers on the Ayatollah-produced, “If We.”

The Queens beatsmith delivers a sample-heavy slapper that makes for the perfect backdrop for his Brooklyn brethren to flex his rapping chops. And as much as he could have easily kept this as a no-hook, straight-rhyming affair, Saga executes a replay friendly chorus laced with wisdom, particularly on lines like, “If we... started realizing being broke doesn’t mean you’re poor.” 

That same sentiment rings true with his verses. While his first two are certainly strong, Saga goes off on the third verse by showcasing exceptional alliteration and internal rhymes that’ll leave your head spinning. It's the type of track that’ll please any NY rap aficionado and impress anyone with even an inkling of an interest in Hip-Hop.

“If We” is now available for stream, and serves as a teaser of sorts for his three week European tour that begins towards the end of March, during which he’ll be opening for Asher Roth.

The Estate of James Yancey has revived J Dilla’s longstanding company PayJay as a functioning imprint to release Dilla’s long lost vocal album, The Diary on April 15th, in conjunction with Mass Appeal Records. Initially intended for release in 2002, The Diary is the final batch of unissued material that Dilla had assembled for release during his lifetime, lending crucial insight into the producer’s prowess and thought process in the period leading up to his break with the major label system and the extremely fertile period that followed (which encompassed the making of the canonical classics Ruff Draft, Jaylib, and Donuts). The Diary features vocal performances by J Dilla, Snoop Dogg, Bilal, Kokane, Frank and Dank, Nottz and Boogie, over production by Dilla, Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-tek, Nottz, House Shoes, Supa Dave West, Bink! and Karriem Riggins.

Underground rap trio Alpha Faktion have been hustling and building anticipation the past year for their next project, Creative Control. And today, all that hard work is clearly paying off with a banger of a lead single, “Creative Control,” produced by living rap legend Nottz.

For the uninitiated, the proudly independent group is made up of rapper/producer Azwun, rapper Kraze, and DJ Enyoutee, who had previous success as solo acts. They opted to join forces, however, and have been killing it together ever since. That much is evident throughout “Creative Control,” a neck-breaking anthem for any artist taking their career into their own hands.

Azwun and Kraze make their indie stance well-known throughout their verses, delivering bars like “I broke away from these chains/ man, these industry slaves/ They tried to manage, couldn’t handle the weight/ The wait’s over, motherf*cker/ Keep yo’ hands out the plate”; and “You look confused and I’m not surprised by the ignorance/ Force-feedin’ by hypocrites, team leaders, and simpletons.”

“Creative Control” is a mission statement and one hell of a way to kick off the rollout for their upcoming album of the same name. In addition to Nottz, the project boasts collaborators such as Marley Marl, Marco Polo, Planet Asia, DJ Spinna, and more. The single is now available for both stream and download through all major digital retailers.

Alpha Faktion is an unstoppable force consisting of producer/emcee Azwun, Kraze, a versatile and sharp lyricist and the one and only DJ Enyoutee. After years as solo artists, they decided to scrap old material and pool resources to form Alpha Faktion. Alpha Faktion is the product of years of evolution as artists in both a creative sense and in personal growth. This is a group that controls all aspects of their artform from creative music composition and thought-provoking lyrics to technical expertise in regards to music production. With a powerful blend of hard-hitting hiphop, life imagery and an animosity towards the direction that our so called civilization is taking, look for this crew to bring life, love, anger, adversity and positivity together for an explosive musical experience.
