MidaZ The BEAST - ENTER THE DOXSIDE (Prod. TzariZM)

"What Happened to Sandra Bland?

P.SO the Earthtone King and 2 Hungry Bros. collaborate on this heavy banger, featuring LiKWUiD, called "American Apartheid". The two emcees tackle the persistent itch under the skin of America's racism. P.SO questions his role in today's cultural landscape while LiKWUiD shares a story of being pulled over by the police. The two MC's use Hip Hop to vent their personal frustrations in a positive way. 2 Hungry Bros. provide a dark, piano-laced soundscape for P.SO and LiKWUiD to share their views.

HiPNOTT Records in unison with 2 Hungry Bros., P.SO and LiKWUiD will be releasing a series of their musical treats on select Tuesdays for you listening pleasure. #PaleoTuesday

LYRICS:

My crew on a poster
There's troops in the water 
Goons by the quota
I groove like a soldier 
One move and it's over... 
I'm bout to lose my composure 

they smooth like a cobra
There's troops in the water 
Goons by the quota
I groove like a soldier 
One move and it's over... 
I'm bout to lose my composure 

Game night 
Got the Nikes with the clasp on 
Black 5 panel wit a Guy Fawkes mask on--
Stage Fright 
heard the Python laugh strong
He's a big chicken like, 
Foghorn leghorn 

Looney and my tunes napalm make you face palm 
Arm legga leg pray on this is red dawn 
And The Feds Wrong rep strong and there's lead storms Had slave sheets now they handing out Arrest warrants - 
Somebody tell me what happened man - - The fuck happened to Sandra Bland 
master plan bout to grow like a cancer man, there's a turf war like it's India and Pakistan, 
 Happenstance, think not why they laughing man so I get drunk, Kung-Fu like I'm Jackie Chan a train car, yeah I'm usually the Blackest man 
America, it's the fate of an African 

CHORUS

"Yo P.SO why you actin type weird?"
I had an edible, 3 joints and 5 beers 
We gonna win the pennant I tell ya it's my year
we the pioneers Sipping on drinks wit my peers
Sometimes I go insane Mind fill up with ideas I be 
losing memories Memento like Guy Pierce
 The Police lurk through the ghetto and ride fierce
Send a SWAT team at us cause we got on FLY gear
stunting that they hard but they more like a Light beer
over-react arrest a J walker in Riot gear Turn a 
wife to a widow they crying with Wide tears 
my dear--
Your Hope just died here 
welcome young man, American Nightmare
wrong place, wrong time, they giving you 
5 YEARS
These fake News Reports Are all up in my ear

As I lie here, I tear, thinking bout my fears

P.SO & 2 Hungry Bros: American Apartheid (feat. LiKWUiD)

HiPNOTT Records is proud to announce the addition of Baltimore emcee Greenspan (@greenspanmusic) to its 2016 artist roster.  We first introduced you to Greenspan last year on the JSOUL (@jsoul-aka-black-sinatra) single "Secret Life of Purp" off JSOUL's album The Purple Symphony.  To bring things full circle, it was only right for the Baltimore duo to team up again for Greenspan's debut single on HiPNOTT, "Think About April".  This track is the first single from Greenspan's forthcoming album, Never Gon' Die, set for release this spring on HiPNOTT Records.

"Think About April" is available today for download as a deluxe maxi-single, which includes explicit, clean, and instrumental versions of the single, as well as the b-side "Secret Life of Purp" and its instrumental.

Greenspan: Think About April [prod by JSOUL]

Let's face it, love is a four letter word.  Like all the other four letter words, love can mean so many different things depending on the connotation, the situation, and the emotion behind the expression.  But how can this short noun/verb make you feel like you're on top of the world one second and then confined within the pits of hell a heartbeat later?  

In "Love Ain't Easy" (Sincerely Fay), LiKWUiD & 2 Hungry Bros present the cyclical landscape of the unknown by examining love passed, love missed and love sought after.  With the help of Harlem crooner Husain Williams, "Love Ain't Easy" serves as the 3rd installment to the forthcoming album Fay Grim from HiPNOTT Records.

<>so inconsistent with my passion that i threw it all out>>>>
i took it from you
so apathetic with the forces that i burned them all out>>>>
i took it from you
when the water’s rushing close, i’ll find you near the edge and save you from the meso
should have known you were gonna find out, i knew you’d find out but is it worth the episode? 
is it worth the episode?
walking through the door alone? 
is it worth the episode?

{{{ifithurtsthenbabyurallineedimthinkingrealitycouldmakeitmakeitcomplete}}}

so covered up in all the fire that i never looked back>>>>
i took it from you
so agitated from the shadows
can i take it all back?>>>>
i took it from you
all ur pretty mind wants is atoms for my bones and ashes for my thoughts
i should have known you were gonna find out
knew you’d find out but is it worth the episode? 
is it worth the episode?
walking through the door alone?

It Takes A Nation of Millions Mini-Mix

HiPNOTT Records was founded in 2009 by hip hop blogger Kevin Nottingham (of KevinNottingham.com) in an effort to release good music by artists that deserve to be heard. This is the first instance of a hip hop blogger branching out to form an independent label.

HiPNOTT Records’ goal is to continuously build their artists’ resumes and consistently develop an image that hip hop will have no choice but to admire. With Kevin Nottingham at the helm, a man who certainly respects the past, present, and future of the genre, it is hard to deny the capability of reaching these goals amongst others.
