JAY ELECTRONICA – LETTER TO FALLON

Jay Electronica songs are scarce. For reasons unknown to most, we still don’t have an album. But Kevin Durant urged Jay Elec to drop new music and when one of the best NBA players around makes a suggestion, you do it. With that comes “Letter To Fallon.” Enjoy and don’t hold your breath for any new music anytime soon.

GENSU DEAN & WISE INTELLIGENT – GAME OF DEATH [ALBUM STREAM]

Gensu Dean and Wise Intelligent drop off their collaborative album Game of Death. But let the album’s description give you all the reasons why you need to stream this album right now.

 

Rooted in Universal Science, the album takes dead aim at mediocre, dumbed down, manufactured rap while treating Music as the weapon it is.  This is cultural warfare bridging the gap from Roxanne & Biz Markie to Jay Electronica & Erykah Badu.  Bending time & space, Gensu & Wise take listeners through history with amazingly wide-eyed clarity. With statements as straight-forward as “Your shit aint Hiphop if it’s corporate” there is no missing the message of self-determination.  This is the type of liberation that starts with your mind and is more about what you shed than what you add on. Somebody say Amen.

KXNG CROOKED – TOO ASHAMED

KXNG Crooked opens up with his problems with alcohol on “Too Ashamed,” which is the first song on his Ashamed EP dropping June 16th. Jonathan Hay produced the song and spoke to Billboard about how the song came about.

“KXNG Crooked opened up for his first time about his alcoholism and recovery, which was a parallel experience shared with co-producers King Graint and Shachar Boussani who has seen friends struggle with addiction” Hay said to Billboard. “Singer Mike Smith was feeling very ashamed spending so much time away from his wife and kids pursuing music. Iliana Eve and I were victims of a home invasion at the end of April and been dealing with the trauma from that which is heard in the song from a friend on my voicemail.”
