Interview: Miss Special x Pac Div



Miss Special is dope. And so are her interviews. When she interviews someone, she does her research but you also know she's truly a fan of the folks she's interviewing based on the questions and her genuine excitement. I respect her hustle and dig her style. Anyhoo, peep her latest featuring Pac Div.
Miss Special talks to Pac Div before their show with Snoop Dogg/Lion in Sacramento. The group speaks about their favorite Snoop songs, the sound of their new project "G.M.B.", the upcoming video for "Bank", and their latest video for "Black Acura". They also talk about critiquing each other, working as a team, and each of their own upcoming projects.Miss Special [@MiSS1SPECiAL] talks to Pac Div before their show with Snoop Dogg/Lion in Sacramento.

Robert Raimon Roy "P*ssy Politicien"


"I'm your Pussy Politician. I can get you off, but you got to vote for me..."

I've been a fan of Robert Raimon Roy, starting back when he was just going by Rob Roy. His track Fur In My Cap had grabbed my attention and I haven't looked back since. We've had several conversations about his music. The dude is dope. And after Dollar Out of Fifteen Cents and King Warrior Magician Lover, last week, Roy quietly released his latest. Le tigre blanc comes after visuals and stand out cuts Axela, Little Egypt Wavy and Robert Raimon Roy. Among many other gems on the 10 track LP is perhaps my favorite, Pussy Politicien. Yeah. Roy is worth the listen.

The Black Opera "Fxckin Problem"


TMB are fans of The Black Opera. And we're fans of their version of Fxckin Problem. This is real shit. REAL. SHIT. We really do have some fxckin problems.

In times like these, Dark Comedy is no laughing matter. So with all jokes aside, we wanted to put a satirical spin on A$AP Rocky’s “Fuckin’ Problem” in order to address current events and issues. Events and issues that include the school shooting in Connecticut, gun control, mental health, and America’s prescription drug addition amongst others. RIP to everyone that lost their lives in the Newtown, CT school shooting and the innocent lives lost everyday in these streets and around the world.

Motel Eola "Kids Looking For Gold"


"This instrumental project is about youthfulness, inspiration & the pursuit of happiness versus harsh reality. Kids Looking For Gold is my metaphor for our generation of individuals. We are all in search of our own "Gold" whether it be physical material possessions, the notion of success, or the achievement of our wildest dreams. Along this Journey for our "Gold" we may forget who we once were, conform to the norm, submit to defeat or accept "reality". As "Kids" we were forever optimistic, imaginative & experimental. The more we grow up the more we set aside our dreams as if the countdown of our life on earth is ever decreasing, leaving not enough time for us to do what we yearn for. No, we are dream chasers, creators and forever young at heart. We are Kids Looking For Gold." -Motel Eola

Def Dee - "Numb Again" feat. yU & Hassaan Mackey


Def Dee provides us with music that seems like it's exactly what your speakers were missing.

Today, Def Dee is excited to share Numb Again (feat. yU & Hassaan Mackey) the first track off of his upcoming spring release, 33 an'a third. The album is a remix compilation with a twist. Dee took unreleased verses from his MMG brethren, along with some classic verses, and started remixing. Then he called in the spittas to fill in the blanks with entirely new bars. The results speak for themselves. Numb Again features an unreleased yU verse that was originally for his group The 1978ers. After Dee remixed it, he called up the gravel voiced Rochester MC Hassaan Mackey to lay an all new verse down. The result: numb.

What I'm Watching: Hayze - "Creepmode" (Produced by Apathy)


"Purchasing Js when you stay with who birth you, kid / caught the same charge. Verdict is you ain't learning shit."

Aight, aight. The kid sounds like he got some skills. I'm listening. I peeped Apathy talking about this new artist he was working with and here he goes with his first release off "The Smoker's Section" mixtape. Chalk up another artist that can combat the wackness the radio plays. I'll be waiting for this mixtape's release especially knowing it's being presented by Apathy and Man Bites Dog Records.

What I'm Watching: Rome Cliental "My Inner War"



"A lot of people (journalists and fans alike) noted that "My Inner War" was a standout track on the EP. So with that said, we felt that it would only be right to shoot this video first. Be on the lookout for more videos sooner than later to cap off a crazy year for Rome."

New York singer/songwriter Lance Drummonds covers For Your Precious Love. This joint was originally going to be on a project that I was working on but when it changed direction, I didn't want this track to go to waste. So here it is. It's so soulful. I hope you dig it! Chea!

Dremur "Molly Ringwald"


The homie Dremur blacks out again as he takes on the Danny Brown instrumental. Enjoy.
So don’t judge me but I’ve never listened to Danny Brown a day in my life, until my boy Maxx came through and played me this record. I searched every blog I could to see if some of my favorite artists jumped on this record, then I decided to put my foot in it.
