New York, NY (December 1, 2008) - I was late on these guys, as my entrance into hip-hop itself was delayed, but they quickly earned themselves a fan after a few spins. My favorite joint of theirs is the 2Pac-assisted, “Thug Luv,” which was once idiotically described to me as “sounding like a car backfiring.” SMH. Man, that joint used to get me crazy hyped prior to any/all sporting events. Props to Shake for this one.
New York, NY (December 1, 2008) - There’s a lot of dope indie rockers with hip-hop soul. Guitar-slinging, half-emo/half-hippie, they pull broads like rappers wish they could and make better hooks, too. Peep this joint from Colin Munroe. I’ve already listened twice through and I’m not bored. Well done. Nice guest list, too. Features tracks from Black Milk, Joell Ortiz, Wale, Drake, Novel, Mickey Factz and Skyzoo.

New York, NY (November 28, 2008) - Courtesy of Landon over at TSS. Nice work, music download links included over there. Get some. Peep:
…Back when I was an angry young teen, I hung around the graff heads from school. You know these dudes: paint-stained shoes, unnecessarily, torn up fitteds, reeked like cigarettes/weed/cheap beer…yup, this was my crew. We’d spend most Saturdays driving around the city with our only friend with a driver’s license, shoved up against subwoofers that only worked 1/3 of the time, making fun of emo kids at the local laser tag place and taking flicks of the previous nights work.
I’ve always respected graffiti as an art form, but not enough to go jump barbed wire fences to paint a freight train in a poorly lit yard with God knows what lurking in the shadows. So while they were deep in the brush draped in all black, doing a quick piece on the side of a local park bridge or whatever, I was by the car watching for unwanted passersby. While they were answering to the local authorities, I was holding the cans in my hoodie pocket.
Although I wasn’t the one racking cans in the name of a bastardized art form, I considered myself as much involved as those who were. I was the cat passing judgment on pieces, making sure no one in the crew threw up something wack. I was the cat holding the camera as we tried to inconspicuously drive past last night’s bombing. And of course I was the only one in the crew with pockets deep enough to hold the markers while the rest were getting searched.

New York, NY (November 27, 2008) - Loud.com is hyped up on hip-hop today!! In appreciate of the music and the spirit of the holidays, we’ve teamed up with the beast from New Jersey, Serius Jones, for the release of his new mixtape, “Serius Bizness.” In his own words, he explains why this tape is essential for the next part of his movement. Peep:
…Win, lose or draw, I was forced to put my life on the line to create reality outta what use to be my dream. “Serius Bizness” is a chapter in the legacy of my rise to international “starism.” For those who have followed my story and have been waiting for my album to drop or those that just heard my name somewhere and maybe a freestyle, “Serius Bizness” (Street Album/DVD) should put any sleeping on my artistry to bed and wake up the game to the fact that “Serius” lives up to his name. Being that i’ve been considered one of the greatest “battle” rappers ever i have no choice but to make legendary music above and beyond just “rap” or fall into the obscurity of the losing majority. So far in this industry i have lost family and friends, went from multi-million dollar contract to on my own hustling to pay for studio time and videos and i’ve learned this is a “serious” business for real. Im humbled by the talent of the musicians and directors that i have been blessed to work with and If this is just my “mixtape” music and visuals imagine what “Life is Serius” is gonna b like. Lets make this History yall!!
