ETERNALLY REFLECTING

Nothing needs to be said about this.... a little taste of what we missed. Just a collection (big ups to STATIK SELEKTAH) of bangers from this duo until RPM drops. Have a happy and safe New Year from the bottom shelf family! 2010 looks better already.

LIFE AS A SHORTY

Fashawn and Exile have come together to quietly take hip hop by storm. Fashawn's straight to the point delivery balances Exile's intricate but yet sonically pleasant production style. I believe as a fan of hip hop we many times over analyze music, trying to break down lyrics, listening to flaws in production etc. When sometimes we just have to sit back and enjoy songs as a work of art…an artist’s rendition of life around them.

We are not the same I am a Martian.

This is has to be one of my favorite duos in the game today. At times they may sound a little bit underground but after listening to them for a while you will notice something different about these guys. From lyrics to production their brand of hip hop appeal to the backpackers and the rap fans a like. Here is a little background on the group. Mars ILL consists of Manchild & DJ Dust and they come straight out of the dirty south Atlanta, Georgia. They formed Mars ILL in 1998 and are part of the Deepspace5 camp. They have carved a loyal fan base in the game today and are continuing to produce GOOD music for many years to come. Now you know…

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

In this world, there is one thing we can vouch certain. Everybody is in search for that happiness but most look for it in all the wrong places. This video exemplifies exactly just that. Perspective is very important in these times more than ever.


Have some perspective today. New video from MR. SOLO DOLO.

TAKE A BITE

Chances are if you are just a casual listener of hip-hop/rap music you may have never heard of Strange Fruit Project. Prepare yourself to be enlightened !! Hailing from the Lone Star State (Waco, TX to be exact) SFP consists of rapper/producer Symbolic 1 (S1), MYONE (pronounced MY-OWN) & Myth (Mythological). This trio has been blessing us with GOOD music since 2004 with two underground releases Soul Travelin’ and From Devine. Their latest album The Healing released in 2006 received overwhelming positive reviews, catapulting them into an industry that for so long needed a guiding light. In today’s society we are so self absorbed and consumed by greed that we forget to focus on the things that actually matter. So whenever you get a chance come up to the surface for some fresh air you will be glad you did.
