Ransom X Statik Selektah - It's Ransom Ft. Styles P

Hip-Hop legend Edo.G teams up with his apprentices G. Dot & Born, Boston natives, to shine light on their story and style while also providing their own sound.  All production is handled by Confidence, who's claim to fame includes "Rashad and Confidence" and "Purpose and Confidence" on Ill Adrenaline Records and he produced seven tracks on Neek the Exotic’s “Hustle Don’t Stop” LP from 2012.  

The LP is fourteen tracks deep with Gdot & Born handling about half the duties on the mic, with the remaining tracks being handled by Edo.G, providing listeners with a nice diversity; while Confidence keeps a steady stream of that authentic Hip-Hop he is known for throughout.
     
Confidence, a student of the game dating back to the 90’s, first got a taste of music production in the mid 90′s while learning to DJ with his brother Technic.  His break didn't come until 2001 when he copped an MPC 2000xl which he still uses to this day to compose masterpieces.   

G. Dot & Born relay the struggle of survival in the streets with hard-hitting raw lyrics, traditional gritty street beats and a confident delivery that takes Hip-Hop back to its essence. G. Dot and Born stay true to the city of Boston that raised them and 90’s Hip Hop influences like J. Dilla, Sean P., Big Pun, Edo G., Kool G. Rap, AZ and Nas by embodying a humble braggadocio that only real life experiences teach you. 

Today, the group offers up a tribute song, “Living Legend,” dedicated to the one and only Pete Rock, featuring Pete’s former INI cohorts Grap Luva (Pete’s brother), Rob-O & EDO. G.

Confidence Presents G. Dot & Born Featuring EDO. G will be released on 1-28-14 and you can pre-order it here: http://redlinemusicdistribution.bigcartel.com/product/confidence-presents-gdot-born-featuring-edo-g

While the 90's may have been a pinnacle time for producers in terms of innovation, experienced heads can tell who's in the game to make a quick buck and who's crafting songs to help diversify the genre's existence. If you fall under the latter -- that is to say, you enjoy sharp lyrics and beats that'll force you to spit your best 16, then Long Island's very own Diabolic will be right for you with his DJ Premier produced single, "Diabolical Sound," taken from his forthcoming LP, 'Fightin Words.' As the legendary Premo builds upon his signature style to create a sinister anthem akin to what brought him to the forefront of the game during the genre's Golden Era, Diabolic delivers bar after bar of creative genius that runs circles around your typical radio rapper's cookie cutter rhyme scheme. "Diabolical Sound" is the first lead track taken from Diabolic's 'Fightin Words' LP, which is set to drop on September 16th. The album includes features from Sean Price, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled,  RA the Rugged Man, and more.. stay tuned for more heat from Diabolic!
