Ten on Top W/ Five Below| Summer 17' Edition

It is the 9th month of the year and Cardi B has literally made a believer out of all of us. She has the #2 song in the country and even got Kodak Black on the remix for her hit "Bodak Yellow". While that is an awesome accomplishment for Cardi, we are here for my Summer 17' playlist. I am aware that a few of you have been patiently waiting for an update and I do apologize for the wait and hiatus. I have a bunch of awesome post lined up for you guys that I hope will bring back nostalgic memories as well as invoke thought and spark conversation. I wanted to come back with my summer playlist because unlike summers back when I was an adolescence I do not get to parlay during the summer or even go out  for that manner these days. So my music intake is limited to late night binges on Youtube and my amped up Spotify list. I hope you guys enjoy this entry. And check out the dope visuals that I picked for summer 17' I think a few of  you will agree that my picks are spot on.

I'm A Fool|Young Huli Mixtape Review

"He want to floss,I want to grind, he want to shine, I want the money."

--Young Huli

"Cut It" Remix

Today Young Huli dropped his anticipated mixtape "I'm A Fool" and with popular beats being graced by Young Huli you can only listen as he elaborates on what is common struggles and regular day to day life.This is by far the most anticipated mixtape to date for me and I have been waiting over a year for it. He gets into real story telling like Yo Gotti. He painted a vivid  picture in his song "Bad Dreams"  as he goes into full details about a dream that went sour and upon waking didnt have much to show for it. He has a few tracks produced by Nictunez and a few features from St. Petersburg rappers like Gwop, Jitt & Stone. Majority of the beats are familar but once you hear a Huli Mix its a whole other level. I really wish  there were a few more features but I am happy with the finished project and it was worth the wait. I had enough time over the last year to be familar with some of the tracks and because of that I feel like I already connected with the mixtape. "Time Remix" is my favorite Huli Mix and with notable punchlines its only right that you make time to check out this #NEW mixtape from Florida's own Young Huli.I hope whatever Huli has up his sleeve for his next project isn't far behind and he sticks to what he does best.... Acting a Fool on these beats.

Song Bomb: JF X King Phy| Fever W/ Rate

Produced by Chris Prythm, the production is the foundation that sets the tone for the Hip Hop vibe that Jack Fletcher embodies. Featuring "Trappin Outta Space" mastermind King Phy Da Beast. The mash up between both artist couldn't be more opposite but King Phy took on an entirely different sound in this track. It was as if Jack Fletcher gave a little of his artistry to bring another persons inner hip hop vibe to the table.Given the countries on going battle with the Black Lives Matter movement and the countless American civilians being assassinated by those who are sworn in to serve and protect us seems like the fuel behind the track. What Fever are we exactly trying to catch and or avoid. Is it the Fever of rising up or is it the fever of those that are sleeping during such a prevalent time. The cover art for the track is dope. It depicts a riot participant with a gas mask and a strong Black Power fist as officers stand off in the background in protective gear. These past two years have been the most racially driven with the murders of unarmed black people. We will never forget Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, Eric Garner and countless other's that have lost their lives. One day we will rise up above our crooked government and we will win. All these deaths will not be in vain. Jack Fletcher serves a double dose of lyrical content as well as witty  punch lines that will definitely have the wheels in the brains of listeners turning. It is political, it is raw, it is current. This is what hip hop is about story telling while bringing awareness and I believe Jack does that time and time again. It is never something you've heard before he is always up on the times. I want all who have taken time to read this entry to really listen to the words of Fletcher and really get into his message. Check out the audio below a long with my rate for this track.

Princess Nokia| Young Girls|Video Bomb W/o Rate

Destiny Frasqueri formally known as Wavy Spice, who also performs in a collaborative duo known as  Princess Nokia released a video entitled Young Girls almost a year ago. The thing I love most about music is that it's never dated. You can always stumble across something new and bring it back. I was so glad to discover such a precious gem. "Young Girls" feature young women and girls all of different racial backgrounds living a peaceful carefree life, in a serene oasis. You can gather your own perception of the video but I am glad to see the light tones fade to darker tones. The tribal attire and paint markings upon their faces is like that of a village. The vibe of the song mixed with the visuals puts you just in a dope vibe. I am so glad I found this video. This is woman empowerment if I ever did see it. Please check out the dope visuals. And check out more from Destiny Frasqueri.

Zell Heff| Drug Abuse Video Bomb w/ Rate

Well I am always happy to share Zell Heff's work as it is always right up my alley. He dropped the official video for his song " Drug Abuse" and with the crazy mind of videographer J WALKAWALKA you should expect it to embody the feel of drug abuse. While I am not a supporter of drug use to a certain extent I can see how this song topic can be relevant as the apparent use of cough syrup and other widely used recreational drugs are now at the forefront of current rap and hip-hop trends. He definitely is honest and I can always count on Zell to come with a fire message. I enjoyed the visuals and thoughtfully listened to Zell's words. The downtown sights and the behind the scenes were an added bonus as it aren't too many people concerned with actual behind the scene content. I guess music videos are getting shorter or either the song but I wished it was longer, I suppose with these 15 second videos in social media we just shorten everything now. This song will definitely be added to my personal playlist. Please take a moment to check out the latest visuals from St. Petersburg artist Zell Heff below. And of course my rate for him is below as well. Enjoy!

Video Bomb: Big D X JF w/ Rate

Anything with a classic hip hop beat immediately draws me in. Big D and JF delivers a track that you can just slide through the city to. As expected if a member of Dope Collection has any say so it is definitely a chill vibe. The familiar faces throughout the video gives you that family feel, like I'm with my people and we just chillin'. "Code of the Streets" mashes a rapper with a lyricist. I appreciate vibes like this because you get the best of both worlds. Both guys are considerably different in delivery but the content of each one's lyrics puts you on the same page just a different paragraph. I can't really say anything bad but the 2:48 seconds is such a tease. I would have loved to see it even longer.  The rate for these visuals are below as well as the video. Enjoy!

Double Bomb!|Paublo Patrick| Ride On Em w/ Rate| The Interview w/o Rate

Paublo Patrick and I after finishing "The Interview"

Mr. Idgaf dropped a video for his single "Ride On Em" while I see where he was trying to go with the opening of the video, it really didn't convey during the video. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him the day the video was shot and he is a really humble, down to earth, and cool dude. You're everyday street rapper is riding down on someone about their issue and Paublo Patrick delivers that presentation flawlessly in his lyrical content. Though the video could have had a more extended visual concept to accompany the lyrical content it was a good video. The 10 Hunnit movement was definitely present in the video, while I only recognized Teo, I am more than sure that a few more recognizable faces are there. I liked that besides the cliche' club scene with the entourage he had a dressed down outside scene that portrayed a wild, fuck some shit up demeanor. It was cool and showed that unlike how he was first presented dressed in a dope fit that he could turn down the swag and get dirty. I would love if you guys could press play on the latest from Paublo Patrick and check out Paublo Patrick's latest song called "The Interview" featuring Me! The rate and video are below, enjoy!

#VideoBomb| Australian Female Rapper Chelsea Jane w/o Rate

   

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to see what this Australian female rapper brought to the table. I'm not even gonna lie, I was expecting to hear Iggy yet I got more of that Aussie tongue and her swag is cute. I loved the girlie aspects she brought to the video and really appreciated  the usage of the bandanna, the gold chain, and the sunglasses that she sported. The video was so dope meets international. The valleys and hills reminded me of an area on GTA so from the start I was locked in and the city line shot was cool, it's always nice to see rooftop shots. I loved the concept even though it was typical for a female artist. The tub scene at this point is cliche and the lip stick on the mirror is a recycled act. I checked her out after Rah Digga made a reference to her in an interview with Thisis50 Radio that involved her opinion of Iggy Azalea (also from Australia). Check that interview out below after you check out Chelsea Jane's video "Where The Boys At?"

Lil Debbie|Wiggle w/o Rate 18+ Only [Parental Advisory] #UncutBomb

      

   Well this here video is the first of many as it is not suitable for your kids. So don't be wide screening this video and then blame Ms.Street Cred for corrupting your children. Lil Debbie formally of the White Girl Mob that featured rappers Kreayshawn and V-nasty. If you visit YouTube there is a plethora of videos featuring her as well as her own independent work. What stood out most about this video was the blatant raunchy behavior on a beach which, I wasn't surprised at the fact she was rapping, she does have a few decent videos. This video will most likely be enjoyed by my male fans as it features a scantily clad Lil Debbie in a bathing suit doing booty controls and twerking. Enough of me preparing you for this video just check it out below!

Who knew that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was a Hip Hop lover and a fan of Slim Shady? Well below I have an exclusive performance from Daniel below on the Jimmy Fallon show doing Alphabet Aerobics called "Blackalicious, which is a tongue twisting rendition of the ABC's. This is amazeballs and definitely worth a look. Check out Harry Potter get down on the rap tip.

2014 Recap|100th Post!!

As I'm sure most of you are aware I have not been on here daily, like I should but believe me when I say E2TS is backed up with great posts' in the next few weeks. I  debated on doing this really cool video but decided to save it for a later date. As the year winds down and people get geared up for the new year instead of waiting until those last few days in this month to bang out my year recap I thought it more appropriate to get a head start on it. This year was filled with quite a few hot singles and videos along side some really Dope videos. I have met so many new artist with so many different approaches to their crafts. It's apparent that I will not cover each and everyone in this one single post but I will bring you the best recap ever. I'm talking top 50 singles, top 25 mixtapes, top 25 videos and some artist you have to keep an eye on in 2015. This will be a long recap but a well worth the check out because these artist I co-sign so hard. A few will be mainstream while others are locally based from St.Petersburg, FL as well as across the country. The magnitude of this post alone will showcase the type of work I've been doing as far as reaching out and keeping my ears to the streets. I mean isn't that the reason we're all here? I have compiled my top 50 hottest singles from some of the best to ever do it  this year. I hope you guys enjoy the list and feel free to press links, check out artist info, and etc.
