Alternative Hip Hop Mix: E. Grizzly (@EGrizzly305) Generation (A RJD2 Production)

egrizzlycovergena

Generation A is a free mix by E. Grizzly written to the production of RJD2.  All the songs on Generation A are remixed, rearranged versions of RJD2 beats with E. Grizzly dropping his poetic, philosophical lyricism on top.  It’s E. Grizzly’s 3rd mix release with Philly Kid Group in the past 16 months.  Generation A was recorded and mixed by producer 9th Element at PKG Studios in Philadelphia.

 

“I feel obligated to write these songs,”  says E. Grizzly.  ”I just want to share what helped me get through all the psychological bullshit in my life.  Hopefully the songs can help someone else get through the same things I dealt with.  The RJD2 beats just happened to fit perfectly with what I was writing.”

1280993897-1

Finally, after a year of hard work, and a ton of 11th hour difficulties, Sacramento Ca rapper Bansky brings to you his sophomore release “Red.” Each song is produced by fellow Sacramento native Easy (https://twitter.com/Easys_World) and mixed and co-produced by G.Keys (https://twitter.com/GKeys25eight) again. Red is another journey down Promethazine and Codeine lane that doubles as both 40 minutes of peer pressure and public service announcement, and samples everything from Euro dub step to Method Man and Redman.

Kaliq (@kaliq777) – Fighting + Pharaoh Music The Deluxe Edition

Besides the ever looming cloud called “gangsta rap” that the West will forever be associated with, a new caliber of skill driven MCs are emerging out of the Left Coast and one among this growing breed is a complex personality simply known as Kaliq. ”Fighting”, the dynamic single off his forthcoming album, Pharaoh Music The Deluxe Edition, is a verbal journey through the mind of the San Diego born/South Central bred new millennium revolutionary MC and is only enhanced by the track’s visual. Kaliq’s verbal dexterity is reminiscent of that of a Golden Era vet coupled with the overtones of a Nation Of Islam minister, which was naturally picked up from his Muslim upbringing.
