And while Fluent comes correct with his dizzying bars over J.

"World Go Round" is the 4th leak taken from Fluent's July 15th full length release LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim and boasts features from the likes of Nipsey Hustle, Joe Budden, and Action Bronson.. stay tuned!

Special Edition CD pre-order: http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/reks-eyes-watching-god/BRK147CD/

Brick Records is proud to present the REKS & Hazardis Soundz collaborative album Eyes Watching God. The concept album has the duo showcasing a contrast between “good and evil” beginning with a “God Side” and finishing with a “Devil Side.”  The CD artwork features a dual-image album cover showing both the 'Good' and 'Evil' sides, depending on what angle you view it from.   The Massachusetts lyricist linked up with the Queens native in South Florida to complete the album during the past year, and they enlisted N.O.R.E, Saigon, Fredro Starr, Termanology, Ruste Juxx, Dutch Rebelle and others to add to their cause.  The result is a highly conscious and fiercely political album.

"Working with REKS on this project has been a great experience. The creative process was organic and effortless. We were in the studio together for every song on the album and it was as simple as me showing Reks a beat and him picking up the pen and writing. Nothing was ever forced. I am really proud of this body of work and I'm very excited for the world to hear it." says Haz. 

 
REKS adds, "It felt natural working with Haz.  He has a great ear for music and was interested in me trying beats I am not accustomed to spitting on. It helped me diversify myself a bit".   The chemistry between the two is evident throughout Eyes Watching God, which drops on CD and digitally on 7-15-14.

 Today, REKS releases the latest jewel, “Garvey,” from Eyes Watching God, as he links up with Noreaga & Saigon for a titan collaboration (the video for “Garvey” will be released on 7-15-14).

Planet Asia x TzariZM - Via Satellite feat. MidaZ & Casual (EXCLUSIVE)

A concerto takes an audience on a journey in multiple movements through contrast between instruments. It can only be achieved by those who have mastered their craft. Amp Live has mastered his craft of programming, producing and arranging through his decade plus catalogue with Zumbi as the acclaimed hip-hop group Zion I and stellar remix and solo work.

Headphone Concerto is Amp Live’s long-awaited solo debut via LA-based Plug Research. The carefully crafted album draws on his childhood playing drums in a Black Baptist church and hanging out with the local skaters listening to New Wave in the Texan suburbs. He spent his formative college years in jam sessions that later informed his high-energy live shows. Early days in the Bay area cultivated a passion for experimental electronic music that crept into his hip-hop before it was trendy, even allowing the producer to remix several tracks from Radiohead’s seventh album In Rainbows.

Amp’s solo LP draws on all those memories and utilizes every muscle in his musical memory.
The result is something that has a bit of everything but defies conventional classification. The sweeping cello paired with the melodic synth on “Runback,”and the orchestral strings that somehow coalesce with the flow of some of California’s best MC’s on “IHeartHipHop” both explore different facets and incarnations of love.

Ill Esha’s guest vocals swell up in an undeniable electronic rhythm on the infectious “Are We Dancing.” Amp then finds transcendence on “100,000 Watts” via shuffle-inspired bass and fierce synth stabs, taking us on a journey through the abyss.

“Penny Nickel and Dime” challenges us to examine our relationship to money while bopping to some buttery jazz horns. “Hustle 360” extends that message with an understated groove and Povi Tamu’s strong yet delicate voice.

Through his knowledge of hip-hop, electronica, jazz and indie music, Amp weaves a sonic tapestry that ebbs and flows in movements. Each song has touches and flourishes from multiple genres and it will depend on the individual how each track is perceived. The cello may stand out more to those who have studied music, the drums may attract the hip-hop heads and dancefloor junkies might gravitate towards the electronic elements.

Through a blending drum machines, live instruments, singers and rappers together, Amp Live is a modern day composer creating a concerto that is accessible for all.
