"The song is about the personal struggle of aging. Hair being the metaphor for youth in this sense outlines the feelings of a man that feels like his window of opportunity is closing in Hip Hop because balding is a marker of age or escaping youth." - Awon

Ohmega Watts - Ode to Brooklyn feat. DJ Manwell

In this, the fifth installment of The Red Button Series, Vic Spencer drops Physical Buff. Just one week after his 32nd birthday when he cleverly heckled his own hecklers Vic comes with this eerie bass laced piano track, a Stanley Clarke loop from The Show Soundtrack. Physical Buff is the score of his peers nightmares when Vic enters the booth. With lines like "Just call me Vic Spencer the death adder", he continues to kill the rap game softly. Letting listeners know he does this "Without a crew, with the flu". If you don't know by now Vic is a man all his own with a passion that will not be deterred you might need to listen harder with feverish frequency. As long as he continues to drop quality music like Physical Buff, Vic Spencer is not going away, sorry to dash any high hopes. 

Continuing to show his age if you will, saying that he is from the era of Saucony's, Jodeci boots and overalls and the leader of the new school. If you know nothing of your hip hop past that is probably one of the reasons you would be confused by Vic Spencer. He is a rapper not fond of fraudulence in any way be it in his life or his rhymes, happily letting fans and peers alike know exactly where he comes from. 

Vic takes his time on this smooth track which makes his message hit even harder, every word clear is as ice so there is no mistaking exactly what he is putting down. Whether you agree that he is indeed the best rapper or not, Vic Spencer will not be denied in the rap game; he won't let you deny him in the rap game. As the track fades out you hear "Rappers just be straight up talkin"...Which is what Vic himself would tell you if you asked him face to face. Physical Buff may be short, but how long does an honest straight to the point record really need to be? Vic Spencer eloquently says more in 2:23 than most rappers do in 4:30, its understandable why cats hate him. He's a real emcee who is just too cold for average rappers to like. Enjoy Physical Buff, repeatedly, until you gain a full understanding of what Vic Spencer is really saying. 

The Red Button Series will continue into October...You ready? .

Lyrics: 

Verse 1 (Nelson)
Hopping out the grave like a cemetery / Ima tell em twice everything is secondary / Money on the floor lay it flat / Once you been thru this you ain't never going back / The only thing I know / Is what I hate the most / We aint never gettin close / I'm the banshee and the ghost / Quick chek passed out with the tonic on me / Ima make her feel weird like a roly poly / All these girls want chips with the guacamole / Tex mex checks so you know I got the venmo on me / 2-15 bout to be 16 / With the french terry north clique know I sit clean/ Double r c b if ya know what I mean / But you don't you don't you don't / Don't want that shit you smoke / You buy clothes to look like you broke / All my homies free from dope / To provide you with that dope / Ima lay up in my bed / Don't do no texting don't care what you said / Say that you like but I know that you dissing / I'm cooking that chicken with me and my vixen that shit is amazing 

Verse 2 (Speak) 
King of the perverts / From the dirt with the earthworms / Where the fiends got perc thirst / Who gonna be the one to get murked first / Shit still go dumb like we from that turf / Heavy bro turn your brain to spaghettiOs / A few more shots turn ya boys into cheerios / Looking like food and I ain't have breakfast / Stressed out my mind / I need some bed, rest, and pussy to keep me from losin' my shit / I pack you that parachute hop off my dick / They wasn't fuckin with me when I had a bowl cut / Silver caps on the teeth no gold fronts / Front seat in the matte black volvo / When it drip snow though feel like a chokehold / Young speaky he a barbarian / Bouta get nasty with this all American / Girl with tattoos, big booty and freckles / Pussy retarded I swear that she special / It's Monday night raw and I'm here to wrestle / No habla ingles girl gimme them bezels / Gimme those pesos I swear that I earned it / Jewish with money but my whip is German - perv / Don't forget the killa killa

CoolRunnings (feat. Speak) [prod. by noname]

“Long Way to Go” is the powerful new single from Boston’s own Blak Madeen, who are gearing up to release their new album, 'Supreme Aftermath.'

Since debuting in 2008, the duo of Al-J and Yusuf Abdul-Mateen have used their positivity and passion to craft some of the more poignant Hip-Hop to come out of the New England area. And that’s especially apparent on “Long Way to Go,” a cutting song that features a sharp guest verse from living rap legend, Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious). He and Blak Madeen recognize that with each step we take forward as a society to get better, we’re still not there just yet.

Their message is anchored by a contemplative, piano-laden instrumental supplied by The Arcitype, who captures the emotion heard within the verses and chorus. The latter is supplied by rising singer-songwriter Cyrus DeShield, a gifted vocalist who we’ll surely be hearing more from in 2016.

'Supreme Aftermath' is due out January 15th, via Rhyme Dawah, and includes guest features from Blacastan, G. Dot & Born, Shabazz the Disciple, Krumbsnatcha, DJ Slipwax and more, and boasts production by Sicknature (of Snowgoons), Divine Styler, Teddy Roxpin, and Skin Ced.

DJBooth Premiere: http://djbooth.it/1ZxjnOE
When NYC rapper Danny Matos hits the booth, his energy and lust for life are apparent. The same goes for his innate talent, which he showcases through his latest single, “Let Go.”

In addition to demonstrating his skills on the mic, the New York artist has a message for his audience on the second leak off his upcoming EP, 'The Hangar.' When he repeats “All I could do is learn to let go…” on the hook, it’s a mantra we could all stand to live by. Everyone’s held on to something (or someone) they thought could get better or that they can change, and Matos even declares himself a hypocrite in this regard. Even so, it’s learning how to get past it all that can allow us all to grow.

Just like on previous single “New Genre,” this track (and the rest of the EP) finds the driven MC backed by melodic, live instrumentation from Rusty Mack and the Red Walrus. They both represent Surf School, a skilled crew of artists led by super-producer Harry Fraud.

“Let Go” is now available for stream, and can be downloaded of off the iTunes’ pre-order landing for 'The Hangar,' which drops January 8th! 

'The Hangar' Press Release: http://bit.ly/1MjLAiJ

Tracklist:
1. New Genre
2. Somebody
3. Let Go
4. F*ck My Head Up
5. Mixed Priorities (Hearsay)

As we welcome the new year, Hip-Hop heads can reflect on 2015 with Bekay’s annual ‘year in review.’ 

For over a decade now, the Brooklyn emcee has been condensing the previous twelve months’ events into a succinct, humorous, no-punches-pulled track. Next to Skillz, Bekay’s series is the longest-running “wrap-up” in the game. And while his contemporary tends to focus more on the music industry, Bekay covers sports, politics, general f*ckery, and everything in between.

That much is evident from the jump, where the Brooklyn rapper pays homage to this year’s smash hit, Straight Outta Compton, before referencing the Drake and Meek Mill beef, the Pope rolling through New York in “a f*cking armored golf cart,” and Ronda Rousey’s vicious beat down, all set to the instrumental for Drake’s momentous “Back To Back” diss. That’s just a sampling of what’s covered here, and if any of it offends you, take a note from Bekay: stop taking everything so damn seriously. Happy New Year!

Bekay - 2015 Year In Review

HipHopDX Premiere: http://bit.ly/1R9pBmx

Boston duo Blak Madeen proudly put their fists in the air with “Guerilla Soldiers,” a gritty new single off their upcoming album, 'Supreme Aftermath,' that features West Coast bully-rap icon Planet Asia.

As soon as the Arcitype’s bruising beat hits your speakers, it’s clear that the track couldn’t have had a better guest than the Cali Agent, Nautical Pirate. His tough-guy raps like “Dump you on your face like a cigarette” provide a snarling dose of bravado that serves as a balancing act. Whereas PA sucker-punches the competition, Blak Madeen’s Al-J and Yusuf Abdul-Mateen stick to dizzying rhymes and slick wordplay (“off the wall like asbestos”).

'Supreme Aftermath' drops January 15th via Rhyme Dawah. Until then, you can stream both “Guerrilla Soldiers,” along with the project’s inaugural leak, “Long Way to Go,” featuring Gift of Gab of Blackalicious fame.
