I’ve seen the name Skeem Price pop up on several projects like Trek Life’s Everything Changed Nothing, Richard Wright’s #ramdommixtape 4.0, and then on some Black Cloud projects. He’s dealing with some good people, so I had to keep an eye out for this cat. I ran into Skeem Price at the Little Temple Bar, and he mentioned his mixtape was getting ready hit and to keep an eye out for it. I don’t have much to say about Skeem Price’s Hazard Mixtape except GET IT! If this is a glimpse into what’s to come, you need to put Skeem Price high on your list. Gats & Pounds featuring Richard Wright is a banger, and that beat J. Bizness got on Star Struck… ridiculous. I won’t steer you wrong with this one. Download Skeem Price – Hazard Mixtape on Band Camp. BIG thanks to Skeem Price for the heads up. Big shout to DJ Buddy cutting it up & the host Chuck Dizzle.

Skeem Price – Treez Up feat Paradice & PL (prod. by G-Rocka)

Real talk… Don’t sleep on the I.E.!  They are coming for you and they’ve unleashed the beast Noa James with Beautiful Darkness.  He’s Coming and the title track Beautiful Darkness bring this dark murky feeling, and then Noa James breaks out his weapon of choice on My Bars, My Life.  When I play F#ckin With You featuring Tomorrow, Yesterday I was thinking Noa declared victory.  With Miss Bliss’ lyrics on Blissful, the party begins!  This is an album worth copping.  Go buy Noa James on BandCamp or ask for him at your local record shop.  BIG thanks Noa and the whole Black Cloud fam.

Noa James – Disrespectful (Feat. Curtiss King)

DON’T SLEEP on the I.E.!  That’s real talk people.  Black Cloud Records has got a gang of artists that are putting the I.E. on the map.  Yasin is one cat you may have heard of or caught a track he’s been featured on. Sound Of A Monster, Black Friday Tape, and now War Iza Reality are just a few projects Yasin has be involved with.  War Iza Reality is a banger.  On Murder Cops (ft. Jynxx), Yasin doesn’t hold back on expressing how he feels about (some) cops, and the Oakland tragedy.  Overall this is a head nodding Hip Hop album.  Download Yasin – War Iza Reality here. BIG thanks to Noa for the heads up.

Yasin – Choppin’ Heads (feat Art Barz, Curtiss King & Noa James)

My man Noa James shot me an email, and was like you gotta check out Curtiss King’s Snick @ Nite.  After listening to Bangin’ On A Trash Can & Guttah Gullah Island I was feeling it, and was sure Snick @ Nite was *ish that’s going to be on some other level.  Right away I was digging the play on Nick at Nite.  Curtiss throws out all the old cartoons that I watched.  That’s when I knew this project as dope.  Download Curtiss King – Snick @ Nite here.  Want more Curtiss King ?!  Check out his other projects on Brick To Ya Face.  BIG thanks Noa for the heads up.  I.E. is bring’n it in 2010!

Jynxx, Art Barz, Curtiss King – Take Me Away

My man Noa James does it again. Breaking out of the cage and bringing you Sounds Of A Monster. What I dig about that cat Noa James is his lyrics. He’s clever, shares personal stories and the 90s WWF references. Sounds Of A Monster lets you in on how Noa James ticks. One of my favorite tracks on this album is Therapy Session which show how Noa can paint a picture with his lyrics. The production by some dope producers on this album complements Noa’s mic skills and vice versa. Download sounds of A monster here. Also check out In Blanka Mode. BIG thanks to Noa James & Jynxx for the low down. Keep cranking’em out IE fam.
