DaVinci – Concrete Jungle Juice (Video)

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:10:38 +0000

First off this song is DOPE, great feel to it. Dope lyrics, visuals and Beat (AMBUSH!). Really I just want to say I’m glad folks are (slowly but surely) starting to recognize some dope, real ass hip hop in the Bay Area post hyphy movement. There IS plenty here and when I can go to Pitchfork or say The Source or Wax Po and see people from my Community in there that makes me happy.. Big Ups to the homey Ambush, Al Jieh and the camp for doin big things..

Rah Digga – This Ain’t No Kid Rap (prod. Nottz) (Video)

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:03:29 +0000

I swear I feel like I am getting old as hell sometimes. What really annoys me is seeing some of your favorite artists that you grew up struggle to stay relavent. Alot of cats, at least to me, have made some embarassing attempts. Fortunately Rah Digga is not one of them.. but shieet, with Nottz behind you, all I’ll say is.. You good.

I’m not gonna lie tho, the way she depicts the “kids” in this video is quite hilarious to me. I feel the saaaame way sometimes.
