Star Song: Faith Don’t Leave My Soul – King Holloway

King Holloway

Today’s song is Faith Don’t Leave My Soul  (prod.  Jerrod Hinton) by KING HOLLOWAY. The track is coming from his fourth mixtape, Mind Travel , released in August.

It was so hard finding a star song from this mixtape, as every single track has some seriously (and I mean seriously) slamming beats with thought-provoking/let-the-truth-be-told lyrics.

In the end, Faith Don’t Leave My Soul made it to the star song hot spot, as it features some sick cuts from  ex-Temptations David Ruffin’s  smooth classic, Mary Jane.  KING HOLLOWAY’s raps just oozes into the track – OUT-OF-SIGHT!

If you’re feeling this track, you won’t be disappointed by the mixtape – CHECK-IT-OUT NOW! Head over to his SoundCloud page, where you can listen and download Mind Travel for FREE!

If you’re a big fan of THE MUSICAL PAPA, the chances are that you know of his highly-anticipated mixtape TC-UNO. If you don’t know this rapper, expect 14 very different tracks from the mixtape.

TC-UNO starts off real smooth, with the light and angelic Love on the Corner, Clap and Wonderful Freestyle (sampled from JA RULE/R-KELLY/ASHANTI big hit Wonderful) The mixtape switches to a slightly dark tempo with Lit and That Work. MUSICAL PAPA’s ride-to-the-beats freestyling is most appreciated in the seriously head-rolling tracks Amazed, Ligghhh and Do You. The mixtape reaches the ultimate climax with the uber-cool/hour afters GIF.

Overall TC-UNO caters for ALL serious hiphop heads. If you’re not into the dark productions, you’ll sure love his super smooth tracks (just have a listen to GIF – wicked!). Check out TC-UNO right here.

Review: ST33LO – Ikonic

ikonic410

1. Change (intro)
2. Get The Picture Feat. Cteck
3. Speak Ya Mind
4. 40’s Feat. WordPlay Smitty
5. Charm City
6. Kill Your Radio

Hip-hop upriser IKONIC released his mixtape ST33LO last month. The 6-track production features a vintage raw hip-hop sound, which is quite reminiscent of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and MOS DEF. The out-of-this-world beats are coupled with thought-provoking, hard-hitting lyrics. Such lyrics are prominent in tracks Intro Change and Get The Picture (feat. Cteck).

The standout tracks of the album has got to be Speak Ya Mind and Kill Your Radio, as you get to witness this guy’s move-to-the-beat raps which perfectly washes over that chilled out, old-school hip-hop drive. A must witness!

If you’re a REAL hip hop head, your next step is to have a blast at ST33LO. If you’re a great lover of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and MOS DEF, the chances are you will love every single track of this mixtape. Check it out here.
