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. --MSC DOWNLOAD|LAB RATS VOL. 1 CLP NATION PRESENTS: LAB RATS VOL 1 - VARIOUS ARTIST

Well It's been almost a week since I did a two post entry on ABR. In the midst of him doing all of that with me, he dropped his mixtape The Man with Faux Pas and for those of you that's like "whoa whats Fox Past" You're saying it wrong and you should go google it! I first would like to say If you are sleep on this artist you really should lay off the sleeping pills. For godsake I just presented him to you jerks on a silver platter. If you still want to act oblivious to his artisty you haven't checked out #TMWFP. He snapped, he made you think, and without saying it, he dared you to challenge him. It featured " Bruh Man" and " 5 Babies" Both being favorites of mine. It also featured six other dope tracks that showcased Burnright's uncanny ability to tap dance on the pre frontal cortex of your brain. This was evident with his blunt content, his strong delivery and of course his beats. I don't know whether to call it a mixtape, an EP, or in his words an experiment since he is a Scientist ( I'm convinced). I enjoyed his take on what he likes to call "Conscious Trap" It was definitely a medley of awakening punchlines and it's production set me the listener in a state of confusion because there was times I wanted to just hit a full Khloe Kardashian twerk but the lyric content wouldn't allow me. I wanted to know what he was going to say next. I thoughtfully listened and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I am never disappointed in his artistry and what he puts out. I send well wishes, continued motivation, and success to Alec Burnright and the entire CLPNation family. I have added links to listen and download #TMWFP as well as ABR Spotlight Review I did 6 days ago. Enjoy the goods and make sure you tell him this particular mu'fucka sent you! -M$C
Mastermind, Scientist, Creative,
and Effortless Genius, are all the attributes that come to mind when I think of
Alec Burnright. He is ½ of CLP Nation which is a blog platform for other indie
artist and mainstream artist. They also showcase technology, and other dope
topics. Besides heading a blog site, he is an artist above all else. I first
discovered Alec Burnright on one of CLP Nations affiliated artist Charli Funk’s
song, Clique. When I first heard him he
was BNyce but I soon found out that BNyce was Alec Burnright. Hence his catchy
line… “I use to Bnyce until I learned to Burn Right.” From there on out I have
not only supported ABR but the entire CLP Nation movement. He is what should be
playing on the radio but because of watered down, mainstream artist; the world
according to our society wouldn’t be able to handle his raw and uncut
interpretation of how the world really is. He plays upon intelligence well and
his subject matter is definitely something that will have you searching google
and the library for answers. He doesn’t sugarcoat a thing and is proud to poke
back at critics. He recently dropped his rendition of Drake’s Trophies and My
God! Can someone please get him on MTV jams with the likes of Common, Talib
Kweli, Mos Def, and any other rapper that is actually saying something real?
Even though he says what most people are afraid to say about our country or
about worldly issues he sometimes switches up his approach by banging out a
nice club single. He is definitely someone that should be on heavy rotation on
majority of real hip hop and rap listener’s playlist. Did I forget to mention
that besides heading a blog and being an artist he is also a dope producer.
Alec Burnright has opened for AfroMan, Machine Gun Kelly and Nappy Roots. With
CLP Nation rising in numbers he continues to network and grow in the indie-ground scene. He credits inspiration from Buju Banton to A$AP Rocky to your favorite
indie artist. He is diverse in his love for music and you never know what he
will drop next with his Island roots and his love for dope lyricist like
himself.
When
asked who Alec Burnright sounds like, many are often stumped, stating that the
sounds of CLP Nation's Jamaican-born, Miami-bred flagship recording artist and
producer Alec Burnright are both unique and refreshing.His newest project The Man With Faux Pas #TMWFP drops 3.15.14.

--M$C [Q & A with ABR] 1.M$C:I know you use to Bnyce until you learned to Burnright... Why the name change?
ABR:I came up with the name b nyce when I first started rapping. It was simple and sounded cool enough. Over the years though I noticed a lot of B Nyce's and strange variations of it. 2 nyce, d nyce, z nyce, nyce nyce, it just started to feel mad corny and trite. so in an effort to show people I should be taken more seriously, and to have a name I could brand as my own, I took my middle name Alec, and a play on my last name, woodburn... and just ran with that. I had actually planned this before I changed it. 2.M$C:What is your biggest accomplishment to date? ABR: My biggest accomplishment I'd say is CLP Nation as a whole. I dont know.... everything. I started off making wack beats with my homie, doing shows with my eyes closed, and starting up a stupid blog.... to making crazy futuristic beats, having people hit me up after shows because a friend of there's dropped my name because of my performance, and our blog was recognized by HulkShare and is gaining more traction everyday, plus the team is growing and people see the movement and they want to help it roll. I would definitely say CLP Nation as a whole unit is the biggest accomplishment. 3.M$C:The Man With Faux Pas drops soon... What can listeners expect from this project? ABR:TMWFP is in 2 words: Conscious Trap. People love trap... they love the bass, they love the busy hi hats. People usually like to hear ignornace on those beats though. Then you have the people that like to hear about world issues and politics and enlightened topics... but usually those types of beats are uninteresting to the masses, and are only appreciated by the 'hard core hip hop heads' .... so what I wanted to do was jump on some trap shit and - of course sprinkle it with a little ignorance here and there - but even more so, sprinkle some intellect on that bitch give some ish you can think about, with a beat you can wild out too. 4.M$C:Being that you were raised in the 305, reside in the 727 and are Jamaican Born how do you balance all the musical influences in your music? ABR: Growing up, mom dukes always had a cassette in the deck. A-side and B-side full of reggae tunes. I don't know a lot of artists names because they just had mixtapes they probably copped at the flea market but I think that's where I get alot of my rhythm... Especially in the beats I make but it definitely affects my cadence of my flow as well. My first album I ever owned, my auntie gave me... Arrested Development, "3 years....." that album I would say shaped my mind frame to the conscious side of things... but who are we kidding... I like alcohol, pussy, and weed like everybody else on this damn planet so forgive me if I dip into my jar of sin every other couple bars .... So that's where Miami booty scene comes into play thats probably where most of my ratchetness comes from, if any. Uncle Luke and all them. Before 727 it was the 352 though. We were in Gainesville for a minute. definitely had some influences from there as well. Definitely hood influences. So over the years I have been listening to and working with all different types of people and music. Now we end up in the Burg where I'm finally starting to master it all and use them all together in the right ways. Especially being right in between Tampa and the Burg, its great hearing the distinction between the two cities and the artist from both cities.
He use to BNYCE till he learned how to BURNRIGHT and without further ado, the award of the evening goes to... ABR or Alec Burnright!!!! I just checked out Mr. Burnright's remix of Drake's most recent track "Trophies". All I can say is if Zimmerman and Bieber won't get you there let your computer being invaded by dust bunnies be the only reason you haven't #Pressedplay on the video.

Alec Burnright's "The Man With Faux Pas" Drops 3/15/14 with original production from DJ Cooley --M$C
Last month I had the pleasure of attending The Only Show 11/22/13 sponsored by CLP Nation. The Only Show was a rap showcase/mini concert that was orchestrated by a group of creative and crazy talented
emcees. I would describe there flow style or their genre type to be indie rap, underground, or something I like to call knowledge on the fly. Each artist has their own unique style and it shows with their personal style,demeanor, and stage presence. Upon receiving an invite via Facebook for the event months prior I had already peeped the event coming together on my timeline. You could tell the artist were excited and you knew when they were working on something creative. SHOUT OUT! to whomever made those dope ass gold Pyramids. That's a definite souvenir that I've tucked away. Well dang my shout out kinda ruined my story but anyways... I don't usually venture out too often if the scene isn't something I am interested in or have a curiosity towards but I had been listening or had heard songs from a few of the artist and was pretty excited to check it out live. The Only show was promoted by not only myself but by the countless CLP Nation Fans yes they have real life ye ye ye Wild man call Live Action Fans! And believe me when I say they go so hard! The artists' also pumped major promo on the web as the weeks slowly crept away. Once October turned to November I had already r.s.v.ped to Facebook standards and had further confirmed my attendance by purchasing a ticket to the show. I didn't know what to expect but as the weeks went by and my ticket was personally delivered by one of the CLP scientist, Alec Burnright(ABR). He further confirmed how awesome the show was going to be. As the week of the show came to an end Friday 11-22-2013 was finally here. Pre show pictures of props popped up a few hours before the show and you could tell time had been spent making them and I can appreciate individuals being creative any day. I was impressed by the artistry of each artist that I got to see. Unfortunately due to my guest being tired from a long days work I had to leave early but was able to catch ABR being super hype, shook hands with the mastermind behind The Seminar, and caught Scott Tanner, SuCoo and Alec Burnright and Dilligaf kill it on stage. From what I saw I was glad that I had attended the event and enjoyed the mix crowd of people. It was refreshing to be in a room full of good vibes and great music. I would not pass up another opportunity to attend another show by CLP Nation or any of the artist that performed. I also would like to bring up that when I attend shows I am not only listening for new artist to check out, I'm also looking at everything you bring as an artist. I personally think presentation is everything and from the way tickets were given out with the awesome pyramids to the artists' stage presence I was impressed. In school you get a grade for participation and the crowd all got A's in participation because the emcees interacted well and got them involved. I think an artist that can control his audience has them under his or her spell and Crowd participation was incredible and the energy that they had reflected whatever artist graced the stage. They were so live and the crowd really responded well to them. The even took place at a venue called The Cycle Lounge. I had been hearing a lot about it so I was glad I was able to check it out as well. I would recommend all of the artist for immediate review because the crafts that they have are definitely dope and underestimated. Below I have listed artist information for each artist and my favorite song from each artist. Enjoy the musical collection of some very dope emcees. Please share this review and check out each artist and CLP Nation for more information. --MSC Favorite Tunes: Jack Fletcher ft.
