So with business partners like mine, when the home team drops new ish, I get harassed to promptly post. I did allow for the public to get a general feel of Good via Facebook however I want you guys to check out this track from Cheddar Gang. It's something new refreshing and right anytime. Why? Because it's Good. Check out this dope Audio from Cheddar Gang Entertainment. The track is produced by TangoBeats.
I first have to say that Paublo Patrick is one of the few artist that I work with on a regular basis and he stays on me about everything! So much so that I have received several Facebook messages scolding me about why "Young Lord" and "Fire" have yet to be featured. With all that being said, I have two Video Bombs below from 3921 front man Paublo Patrick and these two visuals are sure to put Paublo Patrick in your immediate sight. Given that "Young Lord" dropped first, I will start with that.Directed by BBros Filmz,Young Lord is another dope imprint in music from the mind of Paublo. He often grabs you with sound clips from familiar visuals before he ever drops a verse. Paublo Patrick's lyrics literally touch my soul. Given the interviews him and I have conducted I am well aware of where he came from and where he is going. He gives you a wide open view into real life strife. Sometimes you can't quite pinpoint where he is going with his visuals but once you see the entire thing come together it is mind blowing. He always has nice scenes and I love that he almost always incorporates a beach scene. The scenes of him with his children and in the studio shows he is just a regular guy living life. And the fact that he placed himself in a room reenacting the night he lost his mother is touching and sad all at the same time. Being as young as he was when he lost her only amplifies what the video is saying and I have no idea how he was able to even participate in the scene knowing what it represented.He does not disappoint with these visuals and continues to surprise me with what he puts together. Check out my Rate for "Young Lord": Below and even further down check out my Review and Rate of "Fire" also by Paublo Patrick --M$C

You can always count on Cristol to come through with that turnt up party vibe and a plethara of phat asses to accompany his visuals. Almost a week ago he dropped visuals for his new single "He Looking". This video by far takes the cake, literally! There was so much ass I was overwhelmed. I seriously gotta get to one of this mans video shoots it looks like a big ass
party in every video. Directed by Kidd Fresh, Husschboy's front man delivers his usual turn up party song. Right on time for this hot summer heat and these half dressed women at all the parties. The shots from Kidd Fresh were clean and the Husschboy family was in full attendance as they raided a beachfront home. I liked the incorporation of the snapchat like moving emoji filters in the video. It's relevant, and not to many video directors do thing like that, so I was impressed with that. The water views and sun shots were everything to me and I was in awe at the ass shakers on the boat ramp. Can you say skills! I got stills of it so if you don't believe me make sure to scroll down and check out the stills I captured from the video below. I don't know why but I feel like his songs end so fast, maybe the turn up just be that real. It's inevitable that the song will get ran back a few times by most twerk savvy females but these visuals appeal to the men given there are all flavors of women in it. Ladies expect to be involuntarily dancing and Fellas try not to drool over all the eye candy in the video. Check out another dope visual coming from St. Petersburg native and Husschboy artist Cristol and be sure to check my rate on these visuals below. --M$C

--Fast Money Ferrari
Tonight ft. Tha Kidd CT & Whitney Jones
Up and coming St. Petersburg artist Fast Money Ferrari doesn't shy far from his name sake as he raps about money, making moves, and over coming strife in his mixtape "Paper Jam. Produced by Shawty T and Hosted by DJ Beelow (both of St.Petersburg), the tape has been out in the streets for almost a year now and is a 9 track project with features from the likes of Kidd CT, Denero and DJ Spitta to name a few. Each song has a different vibe and the production varies. The track "Kush Kandy" incorporated solid verses and a slow chopped and screwed vibe that gives you that chill vibe you would want if you indulge in the herbal. I do feel like he should have really thought about song placement a bit some songs seemed they didn't fit where they were but other than that, I am interested to see what else he does in the near future. If I had to choose a few tracks that I'm rocking with, they would have to be "Bad B.*tch" ft. Denero, "Paper Jam", and "Nothin' To Prove" ft. Mic Jones. "Bad Bitch" is that song you wanna hear to get the crowd hype. It's a shame its so far down the track list that you might not get to experience it unless you make it through all his street tracks that smother the being half of the mixtape. "Paper Jam" is tough and is a great introduction to the mixtape. "Nothin To Prove" is that anthem that you need to uplift you when you feel like you out here alone and need to find your inner beast. I am not disappointed in the product in which Fast Money Ferrari has presented but I would have liked to see maybe a few more songs and better song placement. Given he is new and trying to build his body of works up I am confident that Fast Money Ferrari will continue to grow as an artist. --M$C
I am late for a very important date. I don't know how but I can't stay up to speed with Zell Heff he is the most consistently working artist out right now. There is not a day that goes by that Zell isn't promoting his brand and his music. With all that being said I am going to have to combine Zell's "Legal Murder" review with his new mixtape "Sleepless Nights Pt.1" This should be fun and I hope you guys can keep up as I get everybody up to speed. Two months ago Zell dropped "Legal Murder" on livemixtapes and it has been full steam ahead ever since. "Legal Murder" has eight tracks all containing witty punchlines, some borrowed beats, and his undeniable swag. I feel like this mixtape was a precursor to what was to come with "Sleepless Nights Pt.1" and even though he covered popular beats he was able to put his own stamp on it. Talking about relatable things, he is able to talk about real life situations and putting his own spin on it. When you listen to Zell Heff you KNOW you're listening to Zell Heff. He is distinguished in sound and style and it's easy to want to rock with him. His youthful vibe makes him for those late teens, early 20 somethings and then he politely taps the mid 20 and early thirties on the shoulders and hands them a mixtape and a double cup. He is up and working constantly, I enjoyed his spin on industry beats. Pulling up on "Sleepless Nights Pt. 1" we get eleven tracks with three single tracks that prior to the project releasing late last month had been getting pushed by Zell Heff and his BMMG fam. The mixtape is hosted by DJ Shurefire and from the content in each song it is clear why the mixtape is called Sleepless Nights Pt.1. One of my favorite tracks is "Drug Abuse", he even made a video for it and it was rather trippy. He has a style that sets him apart from what is in right now. There are so many people imitating the likes of the Migos, Plies, and Future. While all of them are all distinct in sound everybody feels the need to try and sound exactly like them when they should focus on authenticity and finding their niche. I believe Zell has done that and is going to continue to grow as an artist. His vibe reminds me of Wiz Khalifa or Flo Rida. It is apparent that the guy has no intentions of pumping the breaks anytime soon and I am glad to know while there are artist that have one foot in and one foot out in this game, he is ten toes down in his craft and it is showing with each new project he puts out. Check out both of these projects from BMMG front man Zell Heff.

"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. --M$C
Musical Dopeness usually always leads me to international territory. I stumbled across these guys while on one of my many musical journeys, MIC LOWRY is a vocal harmony group out of Liverpool, England. Comprised of five memebers, Ben Sharples, Kaine Ofoeme, Akia Jones, Delleile Ankrah, and Michael Welch. Their genre you wonder? R'n'B Soul. Please believe me when I say they give me soul, life, and water. They are handsome and they all blend so well together. Not to mention I feel like their name is a play on Bad Boy's Character played by Will Smith "Mike Lowry" so I dugs that. And the way they transitioned between each song. My Goodness! I get such a great feeling listening to them. I like Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller and even got reconnected with the voice of Teedra Moses but this quintet did all three songs justice. I was pleased. I hope to see a lot more of them really soon. They're what my late nights and wine been missing.Don't believe me? Check out this group kill three covers at the same damn time below.
OK! Justin Beiber does what he does to the ladies well but Flux buys that girl sexy lingerie and then proceeds to peel it off of her. I do not know why nor am I trying to figure out why Flux revives my love for R&B but he does. His voice crawls up in your ear and croons the fuck out of your soul from your inner ear. It is because of him I am interested in adding more sultry R&B to my heavily saturated trap playlist. He out did himself with this cover and it is honestly the best cover I've seen. I loved the back drop of the downtown area familiar to St. Petersburg natives but also to tourist since it is near Sun Dial (Baywalk) area. Simple yet effective his interactions represented so many artist to me. If you love what you do and are really engulfed in your craft you'll be anywhere working. Flux delivered a preferred rendition for me and he did more than justice to this already classic song. Shout Out to FLUX and his beautiful execution to this cover. This is the First Official Cover Video by Flux. Check out my write up on Flux from three years ago as well! --M$C Write Up!#E2TS Download for FREE Here:SoundCloud
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. --M$C
