DOOM O's Breakfast Cereal

2013-04-03T10:32:00.000-04:00

I had the privilege of being involved with this incredibly dope school project shot for a cinematography class. The commercial and cereal are both inspired by everyone's favorite masked emcee, complete with his image and music. Mm..DOOM O's, the breakfast of villains.

RayBann - HOPI (MIXTAPE)

2013-02-24T19:08:00.001-05:00

When I checked the Rapmatic inbox this submission stuck out to me because of it's title, "HOPI". My ever growing admiration of the Native American culture is up in my ranks of interests right behind music. So the fact that RayBann was able to incorporate such a peaceful tribe as the Hopi in his mixtape was enough for me to take a listen. I must say that this Detroit up and comer has some dope tracks on his hands and if I were you I'd be on the lookout for his music in the future. Download the mixtape below and remember, peace, love, and respect.

HIGHxMIGHTY : Live @ Shakas on 3/27/13

2013-02-24T17:27:00.000-05:00

Best believe the spitters of HIGHxMIGHTY are gonna put on a dope show. I wish I could attend but that'd be a dumb long trek to VA. So for all of you in the area I HIGHLY recommend you make your way to this show. Plus how could you pass up on such a low cost for ill ass music? Peace, love, and respect.

Local Spotlight - Carrot Juice Clothing x Oj Curry

2013-02-23T23:26:00.001-05:00

First met Oj Curry in high school during the start of the fitted clothing phase. You know, those days when you had the freshest Jays and a shirt to match and you were deemed to be fly. Well, while most were caught up in the aforementioned wave the homie Oj carved his own lane. Everyone would be at the mall copping two or three hundred dollar pairs of jeans while he'd be at the local thrift spot picking out the illest pieces of clothing. So it comes as no surprise that he now puts his eye for fashion to work. He has released some clothing and promises to release more shortly which is great for the world because his shit is dope. Follow him on twitter @juiiceflow for any and all updates on new releases. Peace, love, and respect.

AL Manuel - Mapes (Mixtape)

2013-02-23T21:28:00.001-05:00

My aim for this site is to bring attention to local talent, the artist lost in the shuffle, trying to find a gem in the sand. Here I present to you Al Manuel, someone I met through another artist I have a close affiliation with, and he recently sent me over his tape. The lyricism is above average, with glimpses of great on a few tracks, but the combination of it with dope production makes this tape worthy of checking out. Peep the download link below, believe me, you won't be disappointed

Marz Lovejoy - DOLO (Music Video)

2013-02-23T21:20:00.001-05:00

Local Spotlight - Lost Lies Tattoo

2013-02-23T20:04:00.001-05:00

When it comes to a profession that allows no room for error, the crew over at Lost Lies Tattoo is second to none. The roster includes Tone (pictured above on the right), Rey (pictured above on the left), Mikey Maz, and Ray Dos. These dudes have a passion for the ever growing art of tattooing and everyone who walks into the shop is shown much love and respect. I could honestly ramble on for hours about the shop and its artisans, but I'd rather let their work do the talking. With that being said peep their pieces here and like the Lost Lies page on Facebook. So if you need ANY ink done make your way over to 334 Belmont ave. in Haledon, NJ and be prepared to be satisfied with your new body art. Peace, love, and respect.

2013-02-20T01:27:00.000-05:00

This is another artist close to the JM family, let me personally re-introduce you to Lex Lavo. The beat just screams that Uptown sound, not surprising as Lex hails from Harlem. Peep the preview below, and you better hit that download link as well.

StarVation - Realest & Illest (ft. Tracey Lee)

2013-02-20T00:57:00.001-05:00

We've been with the whole StarVation movement for a minute. They've been on my radar since we hooked up with them to put out their single. Now, about a year or so later, and they've already been included in XXL's 10 Baltimore Rappers That You Need To Know. Don't take my word for it though, peep the video above and get a quick taste of the immense talent of this crop of emcees.

Fortunato - Piss On You (ft Caution Da Don)

2013-02-20T00:25:00.000-05:00

Rome - Tabula Rasa (Mixtape)

2013-02-19T23:32:00.002-05:00

With a slick talking, swift style of rap this young Queens-native illustrates the everyday struggle of a cool kid living in the cold city of Richmond, Va in his new mixtape, Tabula Rosa. Rome paints a picture of his life with a very solid taste in 90's beats and 808 drum-kits. There is not one song on this mixtape to disappoint.
After a few dm's on instagram @RomeTha3rd promised to promote our site and bless us with new tracks right out the toaster. Check back shortly.

Enjoy Tabula Rasa
Stay blessed

Spark Master Tape - Syrup Splash (Mixtape)

2013-02-19T19:39:00.000-05:00

First and foremost I want to give a shout out to fellow CRUNKURBANSOUND captain, @izzycrunk, for the dope tape he has blessed me with. Go and follow that man on twitter, but back to the music. I don't know much about Spark Master Tape but i get the feeling he's a Cali native from his frequent Basedgod references. Then again I really don't need to know much about dude to know that his music is ill. Executive produced by Paper Platoon this genre blending mixtape is a must download. DOPE music right here people and any music from this camp in the future will surely be posted with the quickness. Stream and download below. Peace, love, and respect.

Capital Steez - 135 (VIDEO)

2013-02-18T18:56:00.000-05:00

Man, to this day Steez is the only deceased artist i actually truly miss. His lyrics were laced with metaphors, alliteration, double and triple entendres, basically any lyrical form possible. Every single video he released was dope and even though his discography is short it's apparent that his talent was well beyond his years. Most importantly when J. Preme and I met Steez he was super down to earth and genuine which is a characteristic that many artists lack today. Peep the video for his track "135" above and download the mixtape "AmeriKKKan Korruption" here. Rest in Paradise Steelo.

Ghostface Killah- The Rise of the Ghostface Killah

2013-02-15T18:13:00.002-05:00

For all those who like real hip-hop, here you go. This is Ghostface's first single off his new album Twelve Reasons To Die. This is too dope for words, just bless your ears by giving this a listen.

50 Cent- We Up (ft. Kendrick Lamar & Kidd Kidd)

2013-02-15T17:57:00.000-05:00

This teaser above was released awhile back, but the full version is finally out. Can this start the resurrection of 50? This song is pretty dope,listen to it below, download it and tell us what you think.

J. ManifestO - She Don't Know (ft. A. Will)

2013-02-13T23:37:00.000-05:00

This submission comes just in time for Valentine's Day. J. ManifestO, the emcee hailing from Queens, hit us with the first cut off his upcoming mixtape, DOTCOM. The production features this odd echo sound, that I actually liked a lot, the chopped slow tempo flow over it really made the song have a different feel to a common theme.

Murs x Fashawn – 64’ Impala (Music Video)

2013-02-13T15:19:00.002-05:00

It's Murs and Fashawn, so of course this is gonna be dope...I don't need to say more.
