📀 Straight Out the Boombox – Album Bio

Straight Out the Boombox is the sound of concrete dreams and midnight hustles — a full-throttle ride through alley smoke, rooftop echoes, and the pulse of the block. Phantom Bloc delivers fifteen tracks of heavy-hitting street poetry, basslines that shake brick walls, and hooks steeped in West Coast grit and East Coast swagger.

From the spectral hustle of "Ghost Cash" and the asphalt grit of "Lines in the Concrete", to the engine-revving swagger of "Boom-Rider" and the wild block-party chaos of "Wopbabalubop", every song is a scene straight out of the cipher.
"Dedicated", "Brooklyn Kings", and "Dust to Dollars" tip the cap to the grind and to the legends — with certain cuts paying homage to the smoke-soaked swagger of Cypress Hill, the soul-fused grit of Everlast, and the funked-up bounce of Funkdoobiest.

The tension cuts deep with "Blood Money" and "La Sangre No Miente", before the crew resurrects the raw in "Back From the Casket". Nova Rex brings fire to "Turn the Night Gold" and drapes the VIP ropes in "Velvet Rope Royalty". "Coast Glide" smooths the ride like golden-hour sun on chrome, before the grand finale — "Ibracadabra!", a swagger-drenched tribute to the king of confidence himself, Zlatan Ibrahimović.

It’s more than an album — it’s a street sermon, a love letter to hip-hop’s fearless innovators, and a reminder that some legends never die… they just keep blasting from the boombox.

Whenever (feat. Gifted Gab, Murs & Haphduzn)

Government name Translee, rap name Translee. Who is Translee? What is a Translee and where does it come from, are usually the questions surrounding the Huntsville AL raised, Atlanta based MC when being introduced to the unfamiliar.  From the stellar last project Culture Junky, a particular set of witty words, and delivery that will finesse any verse line or hook on a track, the masses are definitely starting to notice that it may be something different that is being birthed in the south that may be riding against the norm- of the road MOST traveled. Simply conversational raps as he calls it, real music, real people, real problems, real times and real facts. His name is Translee. He is signed to independent label DNC (Digital Nativ3 Culture).

As a southern hip hop artist Translee aims to change the perception of southern hip hop and now hip hop in general, everything is so club-driven these days which dominates the air waves and the earphones of a new generation. “Every day aint the same, sometimes you want to talk about God, sometimes you want to talk about drugs, sometimes you want to talk about love”. From radio single with Raheem devaugn ‘does anybody love anymore’ which swept across the nation on radio and made the charts, from having videos on MTV and Revolt tv nationally, to collabs with major artist such as kcamp, bj the Chicago kid, syari da kid, cyhi the prynce and many more.  Translee proves to audiences everywhere around the world that he embodies and is the new change he wants to see in Hip Hop and his upcoming release #MAOTP will be the engine that drives him to that upper echelon elite group of MC’s in which he is always being compared to.
