The "City Streets" are both a blessing and a curse: the former for birthing some of Hip-Hop's most notable figures and giving us an insight into what it takes to get by, while the latter has unfortunately trapped those who have become addicted to the fast life. Meet Brooklyn upstart emcee, Saga, an artist that has managed to seamlessly blend both worlds. Influenced by Brooklyn's finest, the up and comer makes use of his rhyming fundamentals and lyrical dexterity to elevate himself to become one of the borough's formidable acts of the contemporary era. For the haters and biters out there, let "City Streets" be proof of Saga's dedication to self mastery. Trading verses with Roc Marciano, over a criminally minded Marco Polo backdrop, only adds to the allure as to what he has to offer. "City Streets" is the first track taken from Saga's forthcoming EP, 'From Out of the Shadows,' which is produced entirely by Marco Polo. Stay tuned for more leaks and visuals to follow from this upcoming collaborative effort!

City Streets ft. Roc Marciano (prod. by Marco Polo)

Apollo Brown - Triple Beams (feat. Westside Gunn & Planet Asia)

A few months ago, I did a freestyle for the God Dr. Dre's Pharmacy show on Beats 1 radio, which was played on the show and rang off online upon it airing. That being said, I decided to formally release it on the 'net for you all, being that it's one of my favorite freestyles (which by the way was completely off the top, no writtens or lines from the tuck), with some of my favorite bar work, over one of my favorite beats. Enjoy, and do remember, tomorrow, Saturday May 14th is the "Power of Words" writing workshop in Brooklyn NY. Log on to www.blapkits.com for info on how to get tickets, exact location and how to get involved.

It Ain't Hard To Tell

From the album Apollo Brown & Skyzoo "The Easy Truth"
iTunes - http://tinyurl.com/hzxygm9

Today we have another single from the hard hitting duo of Apollo Brown & Skyzoo. The team is back again with assistance from two of the rawest MCs in the game: Westside Gunn and Conway. Skyzoo dances through wordplay like nobody else can while Apollo's beats establish himself as one of the most elite to ever do it. Every note and syllable reinforces the the pairing's chemistry. The latest addition to the album's reveal is a look into the underbelly of New York- a black and white examination of classic styles.

The Easy Truth

Apollo Brown & Skyzoo - Basquiat On The Draw (feat. Westside Gunn & Conway)

"Timbalan’d Up is the only song on my album with a rap feature. I called on my brother Royce Da 5’9 to do what he does best. The title is self explanatory. Don’t get stomped on. We give beatings on or off beat." - Joell Ortiz

Sean Price – Figure Four

“This Griselda, DJ Preemo Shit”! Some things just sound so good on paper, that an eventual pairing seems inevitable.  

The Griselda collective of Westside Gunn, Conway & Benny The Butcher (all emerging stars in their own right) is a unified family movement built on authenticity.  It’s cultural, it’s raw and it’s viral.  Griselda’s ascension, both collectively and individually is palpable.  From their inauspicious Buffalo roots, to signing with Eminem and Shady Records, in a non-plussed industry which advances style over substance, the Griselda juggernaut has created a real and sustaining moment.  With the crews amazing run of both commercial success and critical acclaim there is no disputing that a real street ethos exists. 
 
DJ Premier is a living auteur; his champion sounds have been the authority for the soundtrack of the streets for three decades.  While his ear sets Preem apart from his contemporaries, the legendary creator also has an inimitable ability to build a unique chemistry with each artist he works with. Whether it was Notorious B.I.G., Nas or Jay-Z, Preem has been a constant staple and bridge in Hip-Hop’s retro futurism, assisting in turning fast rising artists into rap royalty.  

“I've wanted to do a record with them individually for a few years now.
I had been listening to Westside Gunn first.  Conway got my lyrical attention very heavy when Alchemist told me to listen to how he rhymes” Premier asserted.  “Then after I got in tune with Benny's songs, I immediately knew that in order to follow up the Casanova record (“WUT U SAID”) it made sense to have all three on the same single. “Headlines” was made organically from a blank canvas at my studio at 2am and it happened so fast; and I loved their work ethic.  Pull the trigger on this one!”

When Conway proclaims on his opening bar “I don’t beef on the internet I approach you,” over Preem’s anthemic boom-bap, the modernization of an aesthetic from NY’s storied street rap movement comes full circle; and you are simultaneously transported back to the block when trunks rattled from blasting a new gem from a just released Clue tape.  

With Griselda, bleak tales of survival and violent escapades are the topics at hand and DJ Premier is a conduit artistically elevating the sound of the life they lead.  And when Benny offers “I sewed the block together like a seamstress, and I lived to tell about it on some Preem shit,” it doesn’t come off as an admission of guilt, as much as it does the realization of a lifelong dream.  

“Working with Preemo was surreal and watching him cook from scratch; I still can’t believe the record is done” exclaimed Westside Gunn.   “Shooting the video in my city (Directed by Jason Goldwatch in Buffalo, NY) makes it even more legendary!  This is just the beginning of our cook up and definitely one of the only things on my bucket list.” 

DJ Premier, Griselda & Payday Records.  Certain marriages seem predestined until the streets say I do.  This is for the culture!  You ready?
