If I hurt ‘em I didn’t mean to
It’s not in my demeanor
Conception’s immaculate
I take ‘em to the cleaner
See how fast we just eliminate the cheaters
Agitate the state like um, egg beaters
Wait. Shaped like bass and tweeters
Vibrate seismographic earthquake readers
First get inside like headache fever
With a deeper creative pain reliever
It’s insane to see these so-called leaders
Act like they don’t need us
I peep the game of hide-and-seekers
Keep ‘em wide-eyed and scrutinize for their finest features
Preachin’ as if a halo had the head beneath i
My self-pride won’t allow me to accept the teachings and the secrets
Had me thinking I’m a cretin
These creatures of deceit will see defeat if
We read ‘em like a folded sheet and
Just press out the creases
These beatles bug me
I look liberty in the face and say that don’t believe or trust

People
Every time I grab the mic
Strivin, strivin, strivin, strivin
People, keep on, risin, livin
Strivin, strivin, strivin strivin, 
dig it



We’re not your enemies brother
We’re your illegitimate sons
The products of your baby mothers
Get it fitted it’s ‘cuz reality’s not for the faint of heart
Now get out of people’s way if you’re not gonna play your part
The help you can hand us, still our elders don’t understand us
They call us out, reprimand us, causes reactions by David Banner
I’m feelin’ this answer, they vilify us abandon us 
Sex and violence wasn’t born on BET’s cameras
So don’t try to run on me sista, you want to say voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
We’ve seen our pimps turn principles our crips turn cops
Women of Brewster Place the queen of the media and we don’t stop

Chorus:
People
Every time I grab the mic
Strivin, strivin, strivin, strivin
People, keep on, risin, livin
Strivin, strivin, strivin strivin, 
dig it

If I work it it’s ‘cuz I need to
Some answers you don’t speed to
Oceans become shallow but the problem gets deeper
I use whatever medium I need to reach ya
Pull you out your mental prison and introduce you to the ether
Either we all agree to believe in no discrimination or slavery
Subjugation or poverty or we will all perish eventually
Now mentally I do not see that that was meant to be
We annihilate our own species, please makes no sense to me
And doesn’t reflect our assumed intelligence 
consumed by irrelevance then innocently
distracted from our intent which was I believe to truly get free
recognize the cage and its ways the patterns displayed 
but the actions remain the same reflections of insanity
induced by deceptions and calamity
abuse their weapons out of vanity
the concept accept the duality
inferior superiority complex when
nothing is a subjugate, better than any other
they don’t want us to see
I want to hold technology out the hands of a corrupted government
and wield it for the betterment of all people.
keep on, every time i grab the mic
strivin, strivin, strivin, strivin
people, every time i grab the mic
strivin, strivin, strivin, strivin, dig it.





Strivin feat Abstract Rude

"America, the Beautiful" produced by Jonwayne, from the album HALLWAYS http://stonesthrow.com/homeboysandman 

Homeboy Sandman - America, The Beautiful

from the mello music group album "Persona" coming out 3/10.
prod. Oddisee | vocals: Oddisee & Phonte hook: Tamisha Waden | art: Oliver Barrett

If the soul of hip-hop belongs to the culture, the skeleton belongs to the independent label. From Sugar Hill to Def Jam, Tommy Boy to Rawkus, Fondle Em to Def Jux, the genre’s best music has been birthed by imprints that brazenly defy the status quo, those who champion fearless artists and always prize quality over commerce.
 
For the last eight years, Mello Music Group has lived by that ethos. If you’re reading these words, you’re inevitably well aware of its ascendance and growing legacy. But more importantly, you know the artists—those singular voices channeling the spirits of the past and spitting premonitions of the future. Boom-bap at its best: evolving and expanding the art form, capturing stories of the struggle, upholding the tradition, and keeping the crooked honest.
 
Persona unveils the murderer’s row that is the Mello roster of 2015. Oddisee, Apollo Brown, yU, L'Orange, Red Pill, Open Mike Eagle, Rapper Big Pooh, Quelle Chris. The stars of the present teamed with timeless innovators like Phonte (Little Brother), Blockhead, Ras Kass, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Oh No, Masta Ace, and Bilal Salaam. The result is something that binds current greats with the pioneers who paved the asphalt. It’s both a historical moment and hard as hell.
 
If most compilations are nothing more than a loosely thrown together collection of songs, Persona boasts meticulous focus. These aren’t spare tracks, they’re potent messages and poisonous darts. “Requiem” finds Phonte and Oddisee indicting American racism and Xenophobia with fury and precision. On “Homicide,” yU and Nottz leave blood dripping all over the canvas. There’s “Celebrity Reduction Prayer,” where Open Mike Eagle lampoons fundamentalists and religious zealots over Oddisee’s warm Stevie Wonder keyboards.
 
But there’s ultimately no need to do the track-by-track breakdown. This is an anthology in the most traditional well-curated sense. Turn here if you want to find the best hip-hop artists of their generation in raw and unfiltered form. The bars are brimstone; the beats force your neck to swivel. Through all the discontent, rays of hope begin to emerge. If you remember the feeling you got when you first heard Soundbombing, stop searching. The slang has changed, the style remains indelible, the latest personas have emerged. The new sound is here.

Rolling Stone Premiere: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-asap-ferg-dj-premiers-sharp-boom-bap-on-our-streets-w509328

Just hours after the relaunch of Payday Records, the iconic record label has released its first song “Our Streets” featuring legendary producer DJ Premier and A$AP Ferg, which is available today via digital retailers everywhere. “Our Streets” is the first song released by hip-hop and EDM pioneer Patrick Moxey’s newly relaunched record label. DJ Premier is reunited with former Gang Starr manager Moxey as the first artist to release music on Payday Records. 

“Our Streets” is a true New York hip-hop track, combining DJ Premier’s signature beats and A$AP Ferg’s versatile style to create a classic, raw and energetic sound. The song marks the first time the legendary DJ and rap star have worked together, despite both being prominent figures of the New York hip-hop scene for years. 

“It's a dream to be able to work with the legendary DJ Premier on this record” stated Ferg. “Preemo has worked with all the NYC hip hop icons and greats - Nas, Biggie, Guru, Hov, KRS-one, and The Lox. Just knowing I was working with him pushed me as an MC.” 

"With Ferg, or anybody I work with, they already know my history so they know that I come from the 90s era” DJ Premier said. “Ferg just automatically said 'Don't do what I've been doing on my albums - I want you to do a Preemo style and let me show I can rap to that,' so I was like 'let's do it.' Everybody was happy off jump - no suggestions, no 'I think we should go this direction' - it was an automatic in, out, done, in one day." 

“Our Streets” is available now, and is the first song released by the newly relaunched Payday Records. Patrick Moxey, who is the President and Founder of Ultra Records, Ultra Music and Ultra International Music Publishing, originally formed Payday Records in New York City in 1992. Payday was the first record label to sign Jay Z, releasing his first single “In My Lifetime” in 1995. Other artists signed to Payday throughout the 90s include Jeru the Damaja, Mos Def (via his first group U.T.D.), Showbiz & A.G., Group Home, Guru, WC and the Maad Circle and more. DJ Premier played an integral role in Payday throughout the 1990s, bringing artists like hip-hop duo Group Home and rapper Jeru the Damaja to Payday for release, and producing a number of the label’s biggest hits including “Come Clean,” and “Supa Star.”

After 2017’s 10 year anniversary tour of Below The Heavens and a b-sides/rarities release in In The Beginning many wondered whether or not Blu & Exile would ever reunite for a proper new release or if that year was as much a curtain call as it was a celebration. Putting those questions to rest, Dirty Science Records is proud to announce the True & Livin EP – as Blu & Exile’s undeniable chemistry is yet again put on display.

“True and Livin feels like a spiritual call to all that have honor and truth in their being. It sees how present day and beyond is always trying to calculate or monetize what comes from God or what comes from an artist’s spirit, but it also recognizes the truth that is inside of Blu and Exile's music and brags about it, even in a humble way somehow. This might be the first hip hop braggadocio song that invites us all to feel the same about themselves as long as they connect to the spirit and truth that is inside this song and inside us all.” Exile says about the EP’s title track.

Positivity and strength remain a theme on this EP, in Spread Sunshine and the stand out posse cut featuring most of the Dirty Science crew in Choosey, Johaz, Cashus King, Aloe Blacc, Fashawn & Blame One on Power To The People. Blu adds, ““Power To The People” is a call to the people, a call for the people to unite. Unification is power, power in numbers.”
