ISLANDSWAG ft SAMOAN IROK-This is for mama

DJBooth Premiere: http://bit.ly/1vqhyGW
In recent years more than ever, Hip-Hop has been a platform of boasting ones possessions or idea of wealth. While there's no shame in showing off every so often by toasting to the good life, there's an ugly truth that needs to be exposed. War, genocide, corruption; these are the things that are leaving a scar in our history books. Whereas some rappers may just gloss over these disasters, Constant Flow is here to tell the whole truth to the masses. Fresh from the release of "Dog Tags," the 2nd single taken from his Viper Records debut LP, 'Ascension,' CF keeps the momentum rocking with "Moment of Peace," a sharp tongued reflection of the world examined through real people, not just mass media. As Melanie Fontana supplies a chilling hook that blends effortlessly with the fact-paced instrumental, Viper's frontman, Immortal Technique, drops a potent series of double time bars that will leave new listeners and long time fans hitting the rewind button. "Moment of Peace" is the 3rd and final leak taken from 'Ascension,' which is set to drop next Tuesday, September 2nd, so check out the track while pre-ordering the album via iTunes!

Constant Flow (feat. Immortal Technique & Melanie Fontana) - "Moment of Peace"

Village Voice Premiere: http://bit.ly/1yQMA89

The rapper Constant Flow rolls with Immortal Technique and is currently readying his suitably incendiary Ascension album (out September 2nd via Viper Records). Ahead of the project's release date, CF has dropped a new track titled "Dog Tags." While you're streaming the rambunctious rap workout, which also features verses from Swave Sevah and Akir, read on to digest Constant Flow's words explaining away the song's concept, what it's like working under Immortal Tech, and how he'd change parts of the prison system's private sector.

Q: What's the concept behind "Dog Tags?
It's basically like a roll call, so something similar to what is done in the marines, army or any military group. We actually created the song right in the studio from scratch -- it was a very organic feel. Swave Sevah, Akir and myself are all a part of a team named Rebel Arms so in the chorus we all mention our names to signify who we are and what we represent -- on my section of the chorus I say, "CF put killer on my Dog Tag," Swave says, "Swave, put gorilla on my dog tag", and Akir says, " Akir, ain't no one realer on my dog tag." So I consider myself to be a killer on the mic and in the booth; Swave is a gorilla in the battle scene and AKIR's name is an acronym for Always Keep It Real so he incorporated the "realer" part into his chorus to reflect that connection.

Q: How would you describe Southpaw's production on the track?
Southpaw's production brings a militant theme. The song is very aggressive and is an introduction to who Rebel Arms is.

Q: What do Swave Sevah and Akir bring with their verses?
Swave brings his Harlem style and the fact he's a phenomenal battle rapper also adds more of a hardcore tone to the track. The warrior spirit is something that Swave and I talk about a lot and that's also present in "Dog Tags." Akir brings the smooth revolutionary flow so it was convenient to have him finish the song the way he did.

Q: At one point in you verse you take aim at the "private sector." What reforms would you most like to push through?
Reforms for the private sector that I would like to see implemented are in the prison industry. Because of the privatization of prisons and the fact these corporations which own them are mainly profit driven, these incentives in my opinion will only lead to an increase in incarceration rates among Latinos and African Americans just so money can be made and quotas can be met. In general, the United States imprisons more of its own citizens than any of the first world countries.

Q: Being that you're signed to Viper Records, what sort of advice has Immortal Technique given you while you were recording the album?
Technique has always given sound advice in life and music. He explained to me that the release of my album may be a life changing event for me. He believes in the project and myself and has mentioned that Ascension may be a catalyst for greater things to come.

Q: So what can people expect from 'Ascension' when they hear it?
The album's filled with interesting twist and turns from the title track which introduces myself to the people to "Dog Tags" showcasing the more militant CF. Then there's "Moment of Peace" featuring Immortal Tech which deals with the breaking of stereotypes and "Celebrate Life" which deals with the idea of finding life in death.

While countless rappers will get in the booth and speak on topics they know nothing about, a quick background check will tell you who's real, and who's in the game for the glory. That isn't the story with Constant Flow. As an emcee who has gone through some tough battles, his goal is to make sure the people around him don't have to go through the same violent struggles. 

When you've seen the bottom, your motivation to climb is that much more prevailing. "Ascension" is a brief history on Constant Flow's upbringing, as the booth he raps in acts as a confessional for all that he's endured. The Jersey City emcee comes correct with an onslaught of fiery bars, leaving no aspect of his world a secret. CF's Viper debut of the same title, is set to drop on September 2nd, and is now available for pre-order!

Constant Flow - "Ascension" (prod. by .44 Caliber)

B. Dolan & producer Buddy Peace have just unveiled the first leak from the highly anticipated HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 3 mixtape, ahead of this November's tour through the UK + Ireland.  "NATURAL BORN TROUBLE" enlists the help of none other than the confrontational comedian NEIL HAMBURGER for the drop, and features a snarling B. Dolan reminiscing on a lifetime of truancy. 

Some people go looking for trouble, and some never have to.  In "NATURAL BORN TROUBLE," Dolan let's us know the latter hasn't worked out all that bad for him.  

"Behavior is modified, commodified and stopped  
Everyone's an authority, amateur league cops 
Informing on one another, instructed to keep watch
Deviate from the norm and walk around feeling marked,
then realize there's a freedom in being a man apart; 
They can't take nothing from you when trouble is all you got." 

HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 3 will release this winter ahead of B. Dolan's official LP, due in the first half of 2015.   Fans in England, Ireland and Scotland can get a first look at 2 years worth of new material this November, when Dolan will headline and be joined by a live band featuring BUDDY PEACE each night.  SCROOBIUS PIP and WARRENPEACE will also be along for that tour, for which tickets are selling rapidly. 

Here are the full dates:

Nov 3rd - Bristol - Thekla 
Nov 4th - Birmingham - Hare & Hounds
Nov 6th - Reading - The Bowery
Nov 9th - Brighton - The Haunt 
Nov 10th - London - The Nest
Nov 12th - Liverpool - Kazimier 
Nov 13th - Leeds - Wardrobe 
Nov 14th - Glasgow - Nice n Sleazy 
Nov 15th - Edinburgh - Sneaky Pete's 
Nov 19th - Cork - Cypress Ave 
Nov 20th – Dublin – Workman’s Club 
Nov 21st - Sligo - Fifth on Teeling 
Nov 22nd – Galway – Roisin Dubh
