🔥 Pt. 4

It’s been nearly seven years since his previous solo album, but El Gant is back with a banger of a new single, “Chromed Out,” featuring frequent collaborators Ras Kass and Planet Asia, over J57’s hard-hitting production with cuts supplied by DJ Jon Doe. 

To be fair, Gant hasn’t been completely quiet since 2014’s 'Beast Academy' LP. For one, he’s one third of the Jamo Gang with Ras and J57, and they’ve dropped a number of acclaimed projects (peep 2020’s Walking With Lions). But with the release of “Chromed Out,” the NYC rap vet is back on his solo tip to get the world ready for his forthcoming new album, 'O.S.L.O.,' which is set to feature Killah Priest, Bobby J From Rockaway, King Magnetic, and more, as well as production supplied by the legendary DJ Premier and Marco Polo, among others. 

Gant is fired up on this track, spitting equally ferocious and witty bars, like “I’m on a mission/ Half the caucasian rappers I came up in the game with done changed into Peter Griffin.” His two guests, Ras and Planet Asia, are on fire, too, with mean-mugging rhymes that complement J57’s head-nodding and raw instrumental.

“Chromed Out” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. Be on the lookout for more info on 'O.S.L.O.,' which is due out in the fourth quarter of 2021 through Gant’s own Rule By Secrecy imprint.

Soul Perfect feat Sean Price Illa Ghee & Royal Flush

One of underground rap’s most distinctive and talented voices returns as Rochester, N.Y. native Pounds delivers his latest hard-hitting effort, ‘TUNA.’ The follow-up to 2016’s stellar ‘Heavy Lies The Crown,’ this project packs some serious tough talk and hard-nosed bars into its nine tracks that center on the troubled life of a kingpin.

As you can hear through his raps, Pounds is most definitely about the life he outlines in his rhymes—to the point that it’s actually rap that got him out of trouble some years ago. After a troubled youth spent in and out of jail, he focused on his love of Hip-Hop to get his life back on track. And as he continues to make good on that goal, we’re blessed with the inventive and vivid street tales heard on ‘TUNA.’

The project is brought to life not just through Pounds’ raps, but also through the clever usage of samples from Breaking Bad (“I am the one who knocks!”) and Blow, among others. Those quotes help shape the story, but it’s Pounds who brings everything together. He’s on his epic-rap-narrative sh*t on closer “Dues,” delivers tag-team villainous raps with Conway The Machine on “Gone Tomorrow,” and spits vulnerable bully bars on “Pee Wee Kirkland.” For example: “Beat you with a bat/ You rather take the gun route/ Squeezin’ with the mac/ You take the food up out my son’s mouth.”

Those touches of humanity are what make ‘TUNA’ larger than your typical bad-guy rap project, and they’re also what continue to make Pounds such a compelling figure in the independent rap circuit. Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of ‘TUNA ‘and also the New York rapper’s forthcoming international tour dates.

‘TUNA’ is now available Soundcloud for streaming and Bandcamp for purchase, via KSD.
