Slaine and Lacoka Nostra- A Brand You Can Trust LP

Slaine's other crew Lacoka Nostra has dropped their new LP "A Brand You Can Trust" I wasn't a big fan of this crew(minus Slaine) I always thought ill Bill screamed too much but the more I listened the more I began to appreciate their sound. They gots to get props for being original and really creating a new sound. This is only the second all white (besides Beastie Boys) rap group that's been successful. White/Black whatever these dudes can spit plus Southie reppin hard per Slaine.

Beantown's Kreators- No Contest LP

This Jaysaun's (from Special Teamz) old crew they consisted of 4 members Jaysaun/Big Juan/XL and DJ G Squared. Anyone remember that jam "Home" with Big Shug/Akrobatik/Krumb Snatcha and Guru??? Yeah that's them...Well I want to let people know they have a classic album called "No Contest" now you might think I'm saying the album is classic because I'm bias due to them being from the Bean. Nah dawg that's the furthest from the truth they could have been from the wilderness of Alaska this LP is DOPE it just happens that they from the Bean. I'm not even going to get into that "this is that 90's boom bap rap" it's just good rap PERIOD dope beats and slick rhymes.

New England's Mr. Peter Parker

This DJ/Radio Personality caught my eye from his mixtape series "How Hard Do You Hustle" I noticed he was reppin a lot Boston/New England rappers. I knew something was up so I looked his BIO up and yup he from the Bean going North to NH. Right now he a regular at 7pm-11pm on the airwaves of Minneapolis, Minnesota’s top rated Hip-Hop/R&B station, B96 (96.3 FM KTTB) The Beat of the Twin Cities. A traveler through reputable media wires, Mr. Peter Parker has also gained significant experience at Boston, Massachusetts’ Hip-Hop/R&B radio station WBOT Hot 97.7 and as an intern at Boston’s other top shelf radio spots, WJMN 94.5 and WBCN 104.1. Normally I wouldn't give love to any radio DJ but this man grinds hard. He currently has a mixtape Best Of for "Immortal Technique" who is a best in his own right.

It cant get no better than this when it comes to callabos heavy hittin artists like Lil Fame(1/2 of MOP) , Sean Price (super group soldier from Boot Camp Clik) and Saigon (The Yardfather) get together to put a track out

Statik really really grinding right about now.

Check out the new single

Boston's Triple Threat

Now normally I don't like to post artist that do not have much of a catalog but listening to Triple Threat I just had to do it. The group consists of 3 members Brass/Winna/Ren I've heard a couple features here and there like I said not much of a catalog though. I ran in to their single "Gotsta Get It" and I was thoroughly impressed. this a headbanger track yo, reppin Beantown to the fullest. I think Brass is locked up though so how much music their making is probably an issue. Either way peep their Myspace page the single is on there I'll provide a link as well.

Enjoy

Lawtown's Reks

I been rockin wit Reks since his debut album "Along Came The Chosen" (2001) when I heard this album I was like "word we really gonna get put on" but it went highly unnoticed (as far as I can remember) well since then Reks has definitely not gone unnoticed he's teamed up with Statik Selektah to put out two recent albums "Grey Hairs" and "More Grey Hairs" he has that fast type flow with ill punchlines. A good amount of his tracks are Premo and Statik produced so that's saying something.

Take a look at the "Say Good Night" video produced by DJ Premier

Beantown's Masspike Miles

Now for those who know this blogger they know I'm not a big R&B fan (too corny for me) but I gotta give props where props are due. I came up on Masspike Miles on Statik Selektah's "Stick To The Script" album he's on the hook to "Streets Of MA" you know I had to google him. The good news is he's nice kinda has a old school New Edition type voice and really doing good for himself. The bad news is he's doing good for himself because he's signed with Rick Ross's label who I for one think is CA CA DOO DOO. Still I cant hate the man for wanting to eat and eat good. I'm not posting no tracks with Rick Ross I will post his two mixtapes though.

"The Persuit Of Happiness" and "Look How I'm Feeling"

Beantown's Team 220

Team 220 is Dorchester's Frankie Wainright's crew they are actually rappers representing the states of Massachusetts, South Carolina and New York, the Boston-based label is virtually new to the game. You can hear the name being repped on Big Shug's albums I really have only listened to Frankie Wainwright who goes HARD on his tracks. I was able to find a smash video from them though, shit hardbody.

Lynn's Tragic Allies

I first discovered this group on a Killah Priest track. Because of that their sound is kinda Wu-ish but don't be mistaken they have their own style the dark beat shit nah mean. They reppin East Lynn aka "Sin City" the group consists of 3 members Purpose/Codenine/Estee Nack they have three mixtapes "The Soul Purpose" (hosted by Killah Priest) and "Grey Skies" (hosted by 4th disciple) and "Tragic Allies" (their first tape) take a listen you wont be disappointed.

Lawtown's Statik Selektah works with Saigon

I read an interview with Statik Selektah and Saigon they did this album in 24hrs(hence the title). I guess they have an amazing chemistry together. I'm a big fan of Saigon and been waiting for an official drop for years. It finally came with only 12 tracks too (I hate long LP's) Statik Selektah must be a busy man cause everywhere I look he's working with one hot rapper after another.

Peep the album "All in a days work"

Lawtown's ST. Da Dquad

ST. Da Squad is Termanology's crew consisting of 9 members Easy Money/Hectic/Artisin/Ghetto/Snuk/Termanology/Cup/DJ Deadeye/Stalion. I saw them do a show at the Middleast Cambridge. They ripped it Term was out there for at least 2 hrs holding it down. I imagine it's going to be a little difficult for all of them to shine since they have 9 members. Term's a nice to dude to piggy back off of though so as long as they put the work in I'm sure it will all work out.

Check out the official ST. Da Squad mixtape and Video.

JP's Phinelia

I discovered Phinelia on the Internet plain and simple. I read a small little Bio that said he was from the Bean so you know I had to give him a listen. I actually know little to nothing about him. I can tell you he is actually a Bay Area born rapper that moved to the Bean (no idea why) from listening to his lyrics he down with Queens bridge reps Ty Nitty and Rick Rude. I can also tell you this boy GO HARD! It didn't take any more than his first track on his mixtape to reel me in like free tickets to a Pats game. he must be a nympho though cause a lot of his tracks are sex orientated but whatever he reppin the Bean all day.

take a listen to his mixtape

Phinelia "The Overdose"

Cambridge's J Cardim

this new post gets extra extra love cause this blogger is from none other than Da Bridge!(not queensbridge...hahaha) my boy Imani Thug a life long Cantabrigian put me on to dude. I found out he moved to NY and is really making a name for himself in the production game. He producing tracks for hardbody MC's like Sheek Louch/Saigon/Sha Stimuli/Royce Da 5'9/Termanology and even the radio rap pop stars like Lil Wayne(oooh low blow) Im a little bit concerned that he wont rep Cambridge to the fullest but like I always say "whats the #1 question asked when it comes to rap?" Ayo homie where you from?????? So I'm sure he wont let us down.

Check out this bangin video with J Cardim raps with Sheek Louch and Affiliate

Also his featured mixtape hosted by DJ Envy

Dorchester's Akrobatik

If you from the Bean and don't know who Akrobatik AKA Akro is than you probably always hated Boston Rappers. My man been grinding since WAAAAAY Back! He was originally in a group called Perceptionist which consisted of rappers Mr Lif/AkrobatiK/DJ-Producer Fakts One. Akro kept his grind on and is still on the scene murdering tracks. Yes I know he's done those Boston Celtics Rap themes on Fox Sports Net but hey thats loot no one would turn down plus he reppin the bean so whats the big deal. His new Album "Absolute Value" is hittin!

Check out this nice TRACK with Talib Kweli and his single "A to the K"

Dorchester's Own Jaysaun (Of Special Teamz)

This my man Jaysaun 1/3 of the heavy hittin rap Group "Special Teamz" As I said before Dorchester is becoming a hot bed for MC's. He Originally was part of the Boston group called the "Kreators" Jaysaun and producer/MC/DJ G-Squared (now on Jamn 94.5 booooooo) aayyhh you gotta make that loot though. He been in the game quite a long time and put in work. Im glad he finally getting some much deserved love. Currently signed to none other than Duck Down Records.

Southie's Own Slaine (Of Special Teamz)

Does Slaine look familiar to you??? Well yup its homeboy from "Gone Baby Gone" he played the drug dealing gun-runner Bubba Rogowski. You can't help but know who it is immediately when he starts rapping. He has a true %100 Boston accent, alot of his lyrics make up of how the use of drugs almost ended his life and then rap came to save him. He is part of two heavy hitting rap groups named "Special Teamz" (Ed O G/Jaysaun/Slaine and "Locoka Nostra" (Ill Bill/Everlast/Danny Boy/Slaine.

He has two Mixtapes "The White Man Is The Devil" Vol I and II

Dont be fooled by the mixtape name he referrs to "The White Man" as cocaine.

My 2 cents on this Meth/Joe Budden Beef

Yo real quick it's obvious the reason Joe Budden seems to put himself in all these random rap beefs. He is always trying to put his name out there and chooses to piggy back on other dudes names. He and all his fans (cause he does have them) need to realize that for all the lyrics he seems to have HE IS NOT RELEVANT in the rap game. How many times can you remember having a conversation with anyone that knows anything about rap and they mention his name. No one can even mention any of his singles except for "pump it up" which was ages ago. Meth's name came out his mouth cause he felt disrespected by Vibe Magazine's top 100 MC 's???????!!!! C'mon B how much credibility does Vibe have when it comes to rap???!!!! NONE! Joe keeps telling everyone that its his opinion that he is better than Meth..... so its Vibe's opinion wack ass rappers are ahead of him. He's the one taking it all personal I think this was a huge mistake taking a shot at Meth cause I seriously doubt Slaughterhouse (his crew) which consists of 3 of the hottest MC's on the planet Crooked I/Royce Da 5'9/Joell Ortiz will come to his defense. In my opinion he is only alienating himself from his peers and the rap community. The Entire Wu plus Redman and Busta Rhymes have already come to Meth's defense (not like he needs it) it just shows what respect Meth has in the game.

My advice to budden is keep grinding and be happy you have fans or make yourself relevant make music that people remember. Lyrics will only take you so far ask Canibus/Chino XL to name a few(who I happen to be a fan of)

Budden better than Meth......hahahaha what you talkin bout Wyllis!
