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.

Double Bomb!| Mazerati Mahje| Hold It Down w/ Rate| Hold It Down Official Video w/o Rate

    

Sooooo the last time Mahje hit #E2TS I checked out "4 Quarters" ft. Leon C (Check Out my Review Mahje 4 Quarters Video Bomb) While the visuals were a bit too much for me, I am pleasantly pleased with the audio for "Hold it Down (yea)" He makes a reference to making you smile if you rocking with him and I smirked simply because I am still smiling from " Holdin You" that is a definite favorite of mine. So Mahje! I'm feeling you. He captivated me with the hook alone and from there his words took shape.  I can definitely hear this track in a few places. Check Out the audio for Mahje' "Hold It Down" along with my rate for the audio.


* Upon completing this post I did discover that this song had an official video so enjoy a no rate on that just catch the dope vibes.

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!

Project Youngin' Video Bomb w/ Rate

This is the newest video from St. Petersburg rapper Project Youngin'. He is giving you that grown and sexy vibe with what I like to call Hood R&B. It takes place near the water and at a big luxurious house. He is being a complete gentleman to his female costar and crooning to her with his rhymes. The visuals for me represent exactly what he is talking about in his song and helped him further depict what his definition of a “Good Time” is. I really dig the folks out of my city because they always find a way to show love to others doing their thing in our city or surrounding areas. I peeped the girl with the Envy magazine and have had the pleasure of reading a few old issues myself. This was a great song and the visuals definitely help further give off that summer vibe. Check out my rate and the video below.
