Koncrete K

I saw this guy on my Homegirl Zea's playlist at Blu Vision. He's a dope Bmore transplant from New Orleans. He reminds you of Erick Sermon.This is from his mixtape "Well Grounded". He actually did justice to the " Exhibit A" track that Jay Electronica did. Anyone who can do that gets a second look in my book.

Mark Milly - "Memory Loss"

I respect all you guys in Bmore coming strong this year, and putting out dope material! On that note download this young man's latest Memory Loss! I'm sure your in store for that real shit. Mark Milly has been constantly dropping releases on the net. Check em' out. -Ryan L.

Cases (Tom Delay)

Brake Fast Records release Cases, a "1960's crime drama-inspired album is a breath of fresh air in these times of exhaustive mix-tape releases and the invariable LP format. As each detailed story advances the discordant plot line to play out more like blockbuster movie than an album". During Cases, I was introduced to new dope some emcees, and production. It Feels like a time capsule from the 90's, that was dug up to show us what Hip-Hop used to feel like. The word-play on this album is wonderful. Download this joint, and feel free to take a ride somewhere.

- Ryan L.

Production: Tom Delay, Mark Henry and Nick Tha 1da , Watts, Tesks, and Glass I.

Artist: A-Class, Trace Blam, Mic Brown, Seph Jones, 4th Down, A6, IronSoul and Xtra.

Cases is available now via iTunes and CDBaby. Preview the album over at BrakeFast

A late night rhyme Untitled Part II- Ryan L.

NiggerToes got hammertime
I break chains like break beats
And piss on em like a leak off in the alley way
I ain't been a saint since latter day
I grew up between tommorrow
And yesterday
Meaning my past is ur morning
And by time u get close... it's goodnight for yall
We stack money then it's time to ball.
We give u winter until it's time for fall.
We say peace but then y'all ready to brawl.
Ain't no time for all
This non sense
Cuz non cents don't pay rent
And my shirt don't know lint
My pop showed me work and I been workin ever since.
I ain't never clocked out
Up in Bmore they say the bull got clout
I say they boy got up off his ass
And did the damn thang
But we talking the same jive
The thigh is the hamstring
The beat and the damn string
Feeling like black pain
Black skully and garni ring.

Ryan L.

Peaceful Money/ Shop Gentei Mixtape Release Party " Pocket Change"

Everybody stepped through Shop Gentei doors last evening ready to support, Peaceful Money and meet The Clipse.

I see our scene growing and flourishing, and as long as we show love and support for one another, we all gonna make it! - Ryan L.

A late night rhyme Untitled- Ryan Lyons

My eyes seen the Passion of Christ

Passion for Life

You dudes hold bills that look funny in the light

Catch me gazing into sun-light

Wondering about my plight

Cuz' the physics of my situation

Got me starvin' for a bite

This cold city

Roam around on my bike

While brothers sit in jail

Awaiting on a kite

Niggas grip basketballs

Reminsce how they was nice

Hood dreams, and KingPen aspirations

Obama now handling daily operations

And people out here starving

Waiting on Occupations

Give a fuck for reperation

We needin' respiration.

Lil Wayne- " On Fire"

I don't know if anyone is anticipating this Lil Wayne release except for me. Lil Wayne has given us countless hits, including lasting classic cd's and mixtapes. His No Ceiling's mixtape was dope, however not reaching the status of previous ones, some fans have been doubting this new cd which shows Wayne growing in a different direction as an artist. Putting the frustration aside, The newly leaked joint from the Album entitled REBIRTH is definitley a banger! Although Lil Wayne doesn't do much rappin' on this one, his melody definitley carries the track. The song was produced by Miami heat-makers CoolandDre who sampled Amy Holland "She's on fire" from The Scarface Soundtrack . The chorus is so infectious, and that guitar lick is to ill!- Ryan L.
