Video Bomb: Concrete Souljaz w/ Rate

Sampling 2 Pac's "To Live and Die in LA" St. Petersburg's Concrete Souljaz breathes his vibe into the 727. This particular track also features 10 Hunnits front man Young Teo. The visuals are crisp and clean. Recognizable landmarks. Set in different parts of the city makes me happy that they didn't just stay in one spot they expanded their vision to include a familiar pool hall, park, and corner store. The lyrics were decent and not a disappointment. A few cameos from other St.Petersburg artist added to the home town vibe and I enjoyed the video. I like what each artist brought to the track and it was definitely The west coast definitely meets the east coast in this track. Be on the look out for more from the Concrete Souljaz and be on the look out for "From The Struggle 2" from Young Teo. Check out my rate and the video below.

LV X JF|Pray For Me #SongBomb w/ Rate

LV and my boy JF teamed up to create this dynamic collaboration. I am already a fan of Jf's lyricism and anything he touches usually holds my full attention because he is typically paired with another artist of his caliber or similar subject matter. I heard this song a few months back and had to make this a Song Bomb simply because people need to hear the true essence of Hip Hop again. LV develops a storyline that sounds straight out of his own diary. Using a common saying "Pray For Me" it gives listeners something they all can relate too. With JF gracing the track with a verse and the hook, he sets listener's up for his witty punch lines and his conscious lyrics. #PressPlay below on a dope collab from these two, two letter emcees. LV & JF.

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.

Freddy Roo|Run Down On Her|Video Bomb w/ Rate

Being that I am a proud member of #TeamThick I am always glad to hear a song for the rump shakers. I have had the pleasure of playing this track on my radio show #HoodWatch and I enjoy the track. I recently was tagged on Facebook in  few promotional flyers for the Video Release Party that will take place Wednesday night at Main Attraction Gentlemen's Club, which is also were the video is set. I was slightly disappointed that there really was no specific concept. Of course there are references about Poles in the song so it's a given to have exotic dancers but I would have liked to see a more elaborate concept. The dancers gracing the video in their color specific "Run Down" fits were great eye candy and will definitely make it easier for people to claim a favorite and given the location I'm sure you can catch most of them at Main Attraction on a good night. I love the song but thought the video concept could have been better developed. I am not an artist and can not possibly know all of the time that goes into a successful video shoot but besides the obvious ass shaking there was not much else exciting about the video. I wish there had been some sort of concept besides the classic "strip club" vibe.  It was average and didn't stand out to me. The feature from Cristol adds to the track and further co signs that it's for the twerkers. I will allow you the viewers to form your own opinions about the latest from Freddy Roo featuring Cristol. #PressPlay below on the latest #VideoBomb and check out my rates for this video below.

#VideoBomb|Downgrade w/o Rate| Nyemiah Supreme

I finally found a reality TV show that wasn't about breaking cast members down. Sisterhood of Hip Hop single handily took over my Tuesday nights at 9pm and I got familiar with a few mainstream female rappers that I had prior knowledge of and a couple that I had never heard of. I was a faithful fewer and probably was secretly apart of the promotional team for the show because I found myself saturating my Instagram feed with promotional photos about the show. It was refreshing to see female artist that would otherwise be seen as competition coming together to unite the female emcees. The backers of some of these woman were well known artist and producers like Timberland, Tank, Rick Ross and various others. I have done a few video bombs from the ladies of the show and since they are already known there is no rate for their videos but I would love to get you guys familiar with the current and future female rappers of our time. Enjoy Nyemiah Supreme's video "Downgrade" below. and be on the look out for Season 2 of Sisterhood of Hip Hop!

Fuckin' Wit Ha| Video Bomb w/ Rate

I can only start this post off by saying that I annoyed my special guy and my own ears with continuous play of the audio. So when I saw that the official video had been released, I was beyond ecstatic. I will say that it delivers everything you expect to get from a Cristol track. It has the bounce, the ass, and that exact touch from fellow song contributers Blackboi & Tampa's Tom G. I wasn't suprised that there was not much of a storyline as most of Cristol's videos feature woman visually beautiful enough to distract the viewers from the lack of a storyline. Given the content of the song, I expected to see something a lil more well thought out. Especially during Tom G's part but I was not disappointed in what was presented. I have included my rate for this video below and I expect most men to be pleasantly pleased with the eye candy gracing the video. Cristol won me over with the track but I am quite indifferent about the video simply because there was nothing that stood out about it. The song itself is a definite smash and I can see myself still jamming to this in the new year. Press Play on the latest from HusschBoy artist Cristol featuring Blackboi & Tom G!

Musical Dopeness| No Flex Zone Violin Cover

When this particular video crossed my path it was via a friend on Facebook and instantly after pressing play I was over joyed that I had. He had taken something so mainstream and made it beautiful with the assistance of his instrument. I have always enjoyed the violin section at the orchestra and admire the skill it takes to play as it is resting under your neck. He has finesse to it and thankfully has an entire you tube channel dedicated to doing violin covers!!   I was so happy to find it available to share with you guys. It is amazeballs and worth a watch. He is definitely talented with the Violin. #Shoutout to Eric Stanley and his amazing violin cover of Rae Sremmurd's "No Flex Zone"

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.

Hagen Lee X CLP NATION| Video Bomb w/ Rating

Hagen Lee, a St. Petersburg emcee teamed up with CLP Nation( Production) to birth Big

Badda Boom and the name along should have you rushing to press play. It's Big, It's got Badda, and it for damn sure has Boom. I love the fact that it cut to live footage of Hagen Lee and ABR chugging down beers on the beach and their friends cheering them on. It made it authentic and not so much like a concept driven video. And sick tattoo on the guy Drink, Fight, Fuck, I don't know if it's real  but I thought it went well with what the song concept was.  The single is featured on a compilation Mixtape called  "Lab Rats Vol. 1" that is fully produced by and for CLPNation.com.( Download link below)  Be on the look out for Hagen Lee's  project titled " Working Class Hero" its slated to drop soon. Check out the visuals and rates for "Big Badda Boom" below.

Off her debut album "The New Classic" Iggy Azalea enlist Rita Ora to assist her with this single about a failed relationship. The video features familiar scenes from the movie "Kill Bill" and might I add both ladies are super sexy in their skin tight cat suits. It is classic Iggy and features a great add on with Rita Ora's sultry voice. Check out the video below!

Big Trin| "Dreams" Video Bomb w/ Rate

Big Trin, an Orlando emcee released his latest video for his single "Dreams" If  you usually fall for the songs that sample a groovy old school song then you will fall victim to this. He not only isn't watered down visually his lyrics make him a lyricist in my book. He holds nothing back in this realistic conscious take on having dreams. He dives deep into his own dreams and unbeknownst to you, you're now thinking about your own dreams.  I highly recommend that you guys press play below and check out the video. The video was shot by @LegitLooks and the song was produced by Statik Selektah. Also be on the look out for Big Trin's debut project "No Pressure No Diamonds" Coming Soon!!
