Back in May, rapper ALASKA & producer JASON GRIFF dropped their ‘Gerasco’ EP, and among the many standout songs was ‘Vanity Plates’ featuring Alex Ludovico. The song immediately caught the attention of fellow former Def Jux labelmate Yak Ballz, who asked for the instrumental to rap on – maybe just for the fun of it. However, moments like that are what get the wheels of creativity spinning – inspiring Alaska and Griff to bring back Ludovico with a fresh verse and join a murderer’s row of artists to lace the song with their own bars. Also joining them is Rob Sonic, 7×3=21 (AKA Kevin Beacham) and Defcee.

MIKE BODY’s latest single, ‘Pearls of Wisdom,’ is a heartfelt tribute to that extraordinary woman in your life—whether it’s your mother, grandmother, sister or significant other—whose wisdom feels almost supernatural in its depth and power.
Known for his braggadocious beats, the American rapper always uses the platform wisely, covering a breadth of issues that affect, not only his native country, but across the globe. His hard-hitting delivery of the issues have resonated with listeners from all walks of life around the world, particularly in the UK. With every release, he always shows appreciation to the Lord, whatever situation he’s in. So if you’re not religiously inclined, his messages are still relatable, as they offer some degree of encouragement and empowerment, which provides motivation to make a change for the better.
Although he pays homage to the strong women in his life, ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ also shows his utmost gratitude to the Lord for placing that special person his life. Mike Body takes on a softer delivery, complementing layers of featherily soundscapes. While ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ detours from his usual boastful sound, Mike Body still adds his signature magic ingredient — the infectiously heavy bass…
‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ is accessible on all good music platforms. Why not check it out the accompanied video below…
After sporadic collaborations on projects like ‘Fireside Chats 2’, NY-based lyricist RAPSWELL and Chicago producer JASON GRIFF have finally come together for a five-song EP full of high-energy, rebellious tracks aimed at both having fun and screaming “fuck the system” at the same time.
‘Drop the Addy’ is the second single for the EP and it’s a short burst of concentrated frustration and adrenaline directed towards the current state of America as Rapswell proclaims: “Fuck Elon and Donald son, it’s no time for subliminals, we don’t need a king, they gotta go- it’s that simple.” Griff’s production combines a fluttering flute loop with bouncy drums and thunderous bass, creating a soundscape for Rapswell to proclaim “Fuck the felon plus the punk, he’s just another giant cuck, I’m at the drive-in setting fire to some Cybertrucks.”
‘Drop the Addy’, along with their first single ‘Sissy Spacek’ feat. Jesse the Tree, is out now on all streaming platforms. The full EP ‘Heart of Gold’ will be released on 14th July.
