Hood Stories FEAT Illa Ghee produced by Dj Woool

Brooklyn veteran spit kicker Shabaam Sahdeeq has returned with his fifth studio album, Keepers Of The Lost Art. The relentless lyricist delivers a body of work that puts his lyrical aptitude at the forefront, while placing an emphasis on top shelf production and cuts, courtesy of Ran Reed, Lewis Parker, DJ Dister, DJ Ready Cee and DJ Skizz, to name a few.

What originally started as 40 tracks, 'Keepers Of The Lost Art' was eventually boiled down to 20, reflecting S-Dub's most comprehensive long play release to date. The LP details his motivation to stay in the game and fight for the culture with bars as tough as the mic in his hand. The production runs the gamut from laid back as exemplified by the nostalgic piano chords on the Lewis Parker produced "Walk with the Light," to electrifying, as demonstrated by the DJ Skizz produced street banger "That Dope," which boasts features from Brooklyn's premiere panderer Wais P, and the lyrically sharp Sha Stimuli. And complain no more club deejays, Shabaam has you covered for a dance friendly cut to spin late Friday nights with the DJ Wonder produced "Fall In Line." It's safe to call it a comeback as his rhymes are as polished today, as they were when he made his Rawkus debut in '97 with "Arabian Nights" B/W "Side 2 Side."

Artistically, the album cover reveals a scenario where Hip-Hop's younger generation discovers the cultural keepsakes of yesteryear. From a solid gold boombox, to jewel crusted crowns, drum machines, and outboard gear, S-Dub is here to confront the generational disconnect, as spelled out on the Eric Rico featured "Grown Man Hustle" -- "Some of these young boys consider me a throwback, I birthed your style you need to give me my flow back," spits S-Dub. When explaining the album cover, Shabaam states: "Imagine the world came to an end in an apocalypse and some kids survived in a bunker. Now when the dust settles and the smoke is gone, the kids come out the bunker and discover a treasure chest in an old music store that contains all the elements of Hip-Hop, and started having fun with it." Whether you see it as a time capsule or the last defense of Hip-Hop's watchmen, Keepers Of The Lost Art could be played ten years ago, today, and ten years from now with high praise. 

'Keepers of the Lost Art' includes guest features from the likes of Tragedy Khadafi, REKS, El Gant, Wais P, Sha Stimuli, Skyzoo, F.T., Mic Handz, General DV (DV Alias Khrist), Spit Gemz, and Bekay among others, and becomes available April 22nd via digital download and CD, through Below System.

Real Problemz   Friday Night - Ft. Khalik Allah

Queensbridge O.G. Big Twins connects with his Infamous Mobb brethren Godfather Pt. III for the gripping, chilling new video for “Paranoid” directed by Medley Films. It’s also the latest we’re hearing from TNT, Twins’ upcoming collaborative album with L.A. producer Twiz The Beat Pro.

Like the track itself, the visuals center on a narrative in which whoever crossed Twins (and by extension Godfather) is suffering from a serious case of paranoia after leaving him for dead. Because here’s the thing, if you’re going to cross him, you should probably make sure that one of the these three things happens: He doesn’t know your identity; he won’t be able to remember what happened; or he won’t walk away from it. 

If you do leave Twins well enough to recover, well, you can see the consequences of doing that in the video (which is to be continued…).

Twins and Twiz’s joint album, 'TNT,' which is now available for pre-order via iTunes, arrives this Friday, April 1 through Sound Unity Entertainment. And if you’re feeling this track, be sure to check out prior leaks including “Straight Face” featuring Killer Ben, “The Rotten Apple” featuring Prodigy, and “Take Away The Lies” featuring both Evidence and Alchemist.

Big Twins & Twiz the Beat Pro - Paranoid (feat. Godfather Pt. III)

Fresh off the Layers Tour with Royce Da 5' 9", Grafh felt inspired to get back in the studio. "I learned so much touring with Royce. Real lyrics, showmanship & the whole Detroit vibe put me in a zone. I started vibing out to old J Dilla classics & creating. Dilla actually gave me 4 tracks that I was suppose record with him before he passed. I never got the chance to work with him. This tour put me back in that creative space." #PainKillersReloaded now available on iTunes.

Give It Up (Inspired By J Dilla)

James Brown Of Tha Underground

Grafh, born Philip Bernard, hails from Jamaica, Queens, New York. He made a name for himself on the mixtape circuit, where he garnered early support from influential mix-show DJ’s in New York. His skill, charisma, honesty, and determination were so obvious that he generated a buzz nationwide and attracted the attention of the major labels. Even in the early stages of his career, Grafh was being heralded as the “Black Eminem.” Although he’s remained independent, Grafh has had distribution deals with Sony, Rocafella Records, and E1 Music (formerly Koch). He released a substantial collection of mixtapes and a street album, Autografh, to critical acclaim.

Despite having yet to release a studio album, support for Grafh and his music has been overwhelming – both among fans and within the music industry. His songs have been featured on HBO’s Entourage, Fox’s Meth and Red, BET’s Ultimate Hustler and in a number of video games, including EA Sport’s NFL Streets, Saint’s Row, and 25 to Life.  Grafh has also been heavily supported by his peers, including Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Raekwon, Bun B, Jim Jones, Busta Rhymes, Waka Flocka, and many others. Grafh was surprised, however, when actor Shia LaBeouf said he was “really, really, really good” in a late-night TV interview with Carson Daly. This sense of appreciation has motivated Grafh to stay true to his fans while touring and releasing new music online via his official website, GrafhOnline.com. He has also built a strong following on Twitter, where he applies an entertaining combination of sharp humor and brutal honesty to everyday life.

 Grafh is currently focused on completing his new project Pain Killers: Reloaded. The first single off of the release is "Magic Like Disney World" featuring his child hood friend Shalone. The project also features Jadakiss, Bun B, Chris Webby, Jarren Benton Styles P and Sheek Louch.  Over the last year, Grafh has built a creative team of young, talented people that are working with him toward the project’s release. He has redefined his sound – drawing inspiration from multiple genres – and has made a concerted effort to be more emotionally candid. The result has been the best music of Grafh’s career, with more songs still to record. With this album, Grafh hopes to prove that he’s more than just raw talent. He has set out to challenge the labels that have been put on him as an artist – to push his own boundaries musically, lyrically, and visually. Just as he did at the start of his career, Grafh plans to let the music speak for itself.
