Villa - "Opening Ceremony"

Villa is just a smooth ass dude. I never quite know what to expect from him as far as content and concepts, but I know that the sound will be right "in the pocket." "Opening Ceremony" is no different and has the Atlanta MC's signature all over it.

This dropped several days ago but I hadn't posted it due to my 9-5 trying to drown me. It works out to be a fitting revival of my regular (but not regular) posting schedule. Villa is always saying something slick and my favorite line out of this new track is, "We're never comin' from the house but from the barracks only."

Damn right, Villa. Soldiers up!

Kid King - "Spazz Out" Music Video

Chicago work on deck for y'all from a new name for me. KidKing has a b-a-n-g-e-r with this C-Sick produced track. The first thing that stood out to me about this artist is something that a LOT of upcoming rappers don't understand: Conviction. KidKing's energy is infectious and his hunger is apparent. That's what it's about.

I found this total package to be exceptional. I was bouncing in my seat and damn near made myself dizzy nodding my head so hard. I can't wait to hear this track in the car. I'm gonna shake something loose for sure.

Dig in....

Soope - "Born to Fly" Music Video

Keeping the momentum going, Soope just released this new video for "Born to Fly" from his 'Where in the World is Soope?' mixtape. I missed this video shoot a few weeks ago and now watching the final product makes me regret it even more. It looks like they had a blast.

The production on this track is just bonkers and Soope does what he always does with the flow and delivery. Top notch product all the way around. Every move Soope makes looks like another step closer to a breakout. "Born to Fly" is no different.

Jasen Effe feat. Niko Villamor - "Electronic Dream"

Sooooo, I had this gem camping out in my inbox for a few days. Reason being, my posting schedule was completely obliterated by the 9-5 the last 2 weeks. That's neither here nor there for right now though.

Niko Villamor slid his newest feature with Jasen Effe produced by Araab Muzik to me and, as usual, it's an ill cut. Instead of your standard ballistic Araab production, we have a much more settled and predictable track. I tried to find out what the sample is from but couldn't pin it down. I'm guessing it's an Oceanlab sample. Don't quote me on that though.

Jasen is new to me and it's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Villa. They both brought the goods on "Electronic Dream." The two talk sweet to their respective female interests as the track gives us visions of a UFO ride through a distant galaxy. Check it out below....
