New Freestyle For My Fans. Go Get Unconscious State On iTunes

Jon Connor- Where My Dawgs At Freestyle

Priest - King David (prod. Jaze Baqti)

The introspective track asks "Who's keeping me from the top? It's Me.  What keeps me punching the clock? It's Me... In the end I have to face Me."

Ugly Heroes continue to connect with listeners through their self-titled debut album.  As they begin booking their fall and winter tour schedule, Apollo Brown and company wanted to drop one of their non-album bonus cuts on everyone.  Red Pill & Verbal Kent both deliver heart felt vocal performances, while Apollo Brown mixes things up for a minute giving us some double-time hi-hats to go with his snares.

Ugly Heroes - Me (Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, Red Pill)

'Highway Robbery' is available now on classic black vinyl☛ smarturl.it/HighwayRobbery

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
(Yah) Keep up, I puff reefer
Without it feeling like I'm gonna self destruct
Hangin' with the homies didn't help me much, not in hindsight
Cause all we did was get drunk and find a fight
Shine bright like Aurora Borealis
Light up the sky, my slice of pie
Is when I tell my testimony like I survived
It's not a war without us, it's a slaughter
Sh*t I got daughters, and they need a father
So I docked the hate I harbored 
Anchor for the family moving smarter
And circulating love like true supporters
But I know some that wanna destroy us
I feel it's so dumb to f*ck with a warrior
So I got a gun and bucks for a lawyer
Got 'em on speed dial but tucking a Taurus… Simpson

Hook 1:
I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' funds, lovin' it

I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' the gun, runnin' sh*t

Verse 2:
24/7, 365 
We get live, set it off
I put a bullet in ya frame
Smiley face by your name and check it off
We let it off, so get low ten fold
No matter the zip code, in rip mode
Hot head till the clips cold
Act stupid, get dum dums
I flash like a young gun WIlliam H. Bonney
Had the habit when a record label wouldn't sign me
Now I got a deal and I'm still grimy, fa' real
It's no lame on me, same ole G
Foes get holes cause the name hold ki's
Weights so the snakes get a taste and OD
While I kick back with my favorite Oz.
Burnin' through that flame OG

Hook 2:
I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' funds, lovin' it

I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' the gun, runnin' sh*t

Rashad & Confidence "The City" (Instrumental)

New Album Coming "The City Under The City" 10/15 

The enigmatic producer L’Orange and lyrical mastermind Stik Figa prepare to take listeners into the middle of two worlds.  While they delve into the concepts of urban legend and mental divergence, The City Under The City is a product of the strange melding of textural bliss and verbal dexterity.  Featuring Rapsody, Open Mike Eagle and yU, among others, L’Orange & Stik Figa help you find color a monochromatic world.

Lyrics:
Where the drum roll, numskull
Aint you seen the white horse, aint you seen the gun smoke
Funds low these bums broke, chatting with Colombo
Peeling back the moon roof, and now my skin is sun soaked
Aint no rocket science, but I need space
Aint been to compliant, mama saying that I need faith
Being self-reliant we just ash when they cremate
Go ahead and pick a star, which one would you replace
Balls full of gas, they don’t even need names
Earth's about the cash, working on a pre-paid
Flame to the glass, inhale and then relieve pain
Life a lot of things, she aint never been no cheap date
Slave in a free state, discovering the cub bards dry
Listen to the engine putter brother give another try
Pop mutters, baby sucking on her mother’s for another night
Gunfire is another lullaby
[Verse 2]
And from the end is where this poem starts
No regards, watering the rose and still we grow apart
Hopeless hearts, anxious dip your toes with sharks
I’m floating in the ocean on top of shards of Noah's Ark
Ride the wave cautious, and then I set sail
Arrived on dry land, walking, on an egg shell
With lead bells, blowing the whistle man I just left hell
Nothing to regret well except maybe that death smell
Behind the red veil enjoying the best seats
The rest grieve, nothing to show for it but prestige
Wonder what success brings, I go against the jet stream
Knowing one man's night mare is another’s wet dream

James Blake Feat. Chance the Rapper - "Life Round Here"

3 years ago I stayed some month in London working for DJ Vadim. Around the time we did a little box set with for Jakarta Records together with hhv.de and we did an exclusive 7" for it featuring a song by Vadim's by then new group The Electric. I asked Markus Ganter who I studied with in Mannheim back then and who played Bass for Blitz The Ambassador on some of his first Euro gigs whether he would be up to do a remix for the flip. Fast forward 3 years: Markus Ganter now is one of the most in demand German producers recently having produced the albums of Casper, Sizarr and Muso. Time flies but his remix of "You Are Diamonds" still sounds crisp even though it was done 3 years ago.

I found a handful of copies some days ago while cleaning up the office. Limited to 111 copies.

"The Newport Authority 2 album was inspired by politics & industry bullsh*t that prevented this material from being included on PA2: The Director's Cut. Shylow and I went in and created a separate album to hold people over until PA2 drops in July. Attached with Intro, interludes and fully mixed & mastered by Joe Nardone. With confidence I can say this is not a mix tape. It will also be available on vinyl LP via Fat Beats for the heads that appreciate physical product, because I still do. I've included songs I recorded with legends such as Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Tragedy Khadafi, Lil Fame and The Artifacts. But, I've also got joints on here with some talented up and comers such as First Division, MidaZ and Big Gutta. Plus the sh*t is free - so enjoy!"
