Mixtape Review: ELevAlien – The 3Kngz

Hip-hop trio THE 3KNGZ released their fourth album, ELevAlien last month…and these conscious emcees from Missouri knows how to take the rough with the smooth.

The 14 track album features lyrics hard-hitting truths of self-discovery, survival and pure love for hip-hop, as demonstrated in the appropriately-titled track, Hip-Hop Saved My Life. The mixtape also aim to alert and encourage listeners to embark on the path of self-discovery…and the powerful messages are well-packaged with bombastically – smooth, head-rolling bassline.

So if you’re wanting to escape half-baked wordplay of getting rich quick, your search is over…go check ELevAlien. Enjoy!

Know FLYAC? Nope…well let me introduce you…FLYAC (which stands for Forever Young and Comfortable) is a six-piece hip-hop group from Woodbridge VA, consisting of MixMasterAle (Engineer), (Engineer), Nico Green (Engineer/Producer/Artist), Legend Guevara (Artist), Xander (Artist), Anonimous Sound (Artist), and Double D (Artist). Started out two years ago, they recently joined up with another local group called Another Planet Ent and together they came up with a 14-track mixtape Long Overdue.

Released last month, the mixtape starts off with some smooth vintage beats then hits you with in-yer-face beats coupled with straight talking, reality-bites wordplay. Think SLUM VILLAGE meets a mild WU TANG CLAN.

Tracks Wake Up, Red Wine Awwwe and Vibe features that vintage hip-hop drive where the raps that cruises with the production. The mixtape heats right up with the old-school, head rolling Rhythm4TheMind and When the Chips are Down (SUPERHOT TRACK, MUST LISTEN). Long Overdue goes out with a BANG with the super smooth, super-slick, SLUM VILLAGE-esque, Dreams.

This is ONE mixtape for serious hip-hop heads. So if you haven’t heard these guys in action, I suggest you have a quick sample of Long Overdue…and there’s no better place to start than the beginning….

Song of the Day: Focus (ft. Supreme Soul) – The 3Kngz

I have another electrifying hip-hop track for you hip-hop heads out there. Today’s song is Focus by THE 3KNG. Track coming from their album Endsight, released last July.

Last time the hip-hoppers were featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC, joining forces with PALEFACE JUNKIES for another in-your-face track, Killa Inside Me. Now these guys have their own spot on the blog as they are definitely in a league of their own – take time out and listen to Focus (and you’ll see what I mean!) If the track tickles your fancy, ahead over to their Bandcamp page and check out their album which fuses hip-hop with different genres with hard-hitting messages. Must listen.

Also show your appreciation and holla them @3KNGZ.

Song of the Day: Edith – Bonnie Trash (Feat. Kurt Von Stetten)

Today’s song is Edith, the very first release from Ontario’s independent rock/noise-pop band BONNIE TRASH.

Fronted by twin sisters, BONNIE TRASH have teamed up with Boston Indie rocker KURT VON STETTEN to produce this two and a half 80’s inspired punk/rock/pop production – take a listen.

If Edith tickle your fancy, look out for these rock chicks – and the release of their collaborative EP, Lynden Snakes, with KURT VON STETTEN in early in 2014.

If you live in the Ontario area, it may be worth checking BONNIE TRASH out at Lee’s Palace on 21st December.
