Underground rap trio Alpha Faktion have been hustling and building anticipation the past year for their next project, Creative Control. And today, all that hard work is clearly paying off with a banger of a lead single, “Creative Control,” produced by living rap legend Nottz.

For the uninitiated, the proudly independent group is made up of rapper/producer Azwun, rapper Kraze, and DJ Enyoutee, who had previous success as solo acts. They opted to join forces, however, and have been killing it together ever since. That much is evident throughout “Creative Control,” a neck-breaking anthem for any artist taking their career into their own hands.

Azwun and Kraze make their indie stance well-known throughout their verses, delivering bars like “I broke away from these chains/ man, these industry slaves/ They tried to manage, couldn’t handle the weight/ The wait’s over, motherf*cker/ Keep yo’ hands out the plate”; and “You look confused and I’m not surprised by the ignorance/ Force-feedin’ by hypocrites, team leaders, and simpletons.”

“Creative Control” is a mission statement and one hell of a way to kick off the rollout for their upcoming album of the same name. In addition to Nottz, the project boasts collaborators such as Marley Marl, Marco Polo, Planet Asia, DJ Spinna, and more. The single is now available for both stream and download through all major digital retailers.

On The Eve Of The Anniversary For The Iconic Artists Birth & Death, Raekwon Breaks Down His Heartfelt Tribute To Marvin Gaye

“I don't make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don't today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time.” (Marvin Gaye, NME Interview Circa 1982)

One of the standout tracks from Raekwon’s recently released seventh solo-masterpiece, The Wild, is undoubtedly his heartfelt tribute to Marvin Gaye, simply entitled “Marvin” which features Cee-Lo.

With “Marvin,” Raekwon authors his own audio autobiography of the fellow iconic artist, detailing his upbringing, his artistic legacy, his turbulent personal life and his tragic death (at the hands of his own father).  As the anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s birth (April 2nd) and death (April 1st) both draw near, Raekwon further honors Marvin Gaye’s life and his dedication to him by delving into the creative process of the track and where the inspiration stemmed from.

“Once I heard the beat, his name kept coming to me (“Marvin” exactly like Cee-Lo’s hook).  The beat reminded me of him and it transported me back to that time.  It was like his life flashed before me and the words just began spilling out organically” Raekwon stated.  “Marvin’s music transcended genres and it can speak to anyone, but it especially speaks to those of us who come from the inner-city; poverty, oppression, the good and the bad.  Living in the inner-city, his music helps us reflect.  He was real and you could hear it in his voice and in his music.  That is where we have parallels, he spoke to a generation and so do I and Wu-Tang.  We share creativity and we speak on what we want people to hear; and not focus on trends.  Marvin saw the climate change and what he saw affected him.  He stood up for what he believed in (issues we are still dealing with today) and created conversation and awareness and he had a vision; I resemble those same traits.   I wish I could sit down with him and play him this tribute and just smoke a splif and vibe.”

First new track of 2017 Peep the boys:

@dismissedfit
@nastykasper

lyrics:
probably need a new job

but I been working too hard

ill never fit inside the box 

ill never fit inside the box



when I look at my life yo I try to do it practical

but when it comes to music it’s the only thing feels natural

I swear it’s almost magical emphatical profound touch 

moments of bliss amidst the chaos which surrounds us

I’ve found lust then mistook it for love 

I’ve found love and let lust blur the trust for what it was

reopen cuts cause the scars were not enough 

to heal this pain that I repress into depressive states 

of stress I can’t maintain a smile so I flex a frown 

living life upside down, staying bound to my depression

til I carry out this life sentence, guaranteed 

my soul is free but the body live in chains 

the pain is for the gain of those who question their aim

and those who question the game and how it gotta be played

cause it goes around

it goes around around it goes around around



probably need a new job

but I been working too hard

ill never fit inside the box 

ill never fit inside the box

 

try to make me what I’m not, I’m one thing thats Hip Hop

and I’ll be shot before I’m finished, more than business 

soul fitness need a witness when I spit this from the heart

the lyrics write themselves i’m but a vessel for the art

humble servent learning purpose always searching 

behind the curtain, still nervous in the circus 

they can tell I don’t belong stay introverted 

never intrusive and perverted fuck the salary

6 figures couldn’t touch my art gallery 

I never bought the fallacy 

a happy abnormality

Box ft. DisMissedFit (prod. Kasper)
