After much anticipation, Mad Static has released his first project in two years. “Let The Church Say… Amen!” has a very diverse sound to it. At times, it reminds me of A Tribe Called Quest and Raekwon, and at times it reminds me of a Kanye West album. Either way, I’m totally okay with listening to either. Oh yeah, and
Read moreLast night was Grassroots’ 100th show at the Miramar Theatre. While I was in the building to see RockzSolid and Annie Mae’s set, I also was pretty eager to see Taiyamo Denku perform. He was scheduled to go on at 10, but didn’t get to actually go on until around 1 AM. I have to say that this was one
Read moreYou gotta appreciate when artists keep putting out amazing music. Pizzle is one of several artists that don’t seem to take a break, and these two new tracks are a sign of that. On the first, “N**** Embarrassed”, he’s straight up relentless. Personally, I think nobody should touch “N****s In Paris” by Kanye and Jay-Z. It’s too perfect. This track
Read moreIn Milwaukee, the south side is the least represented side of town, and in many instances it’s for good reason. However, RockzSolid is definitely emerging as a stand out, and this release shows it. It’s a big step up for her, and she’s got shows lined up to support it as well. Oh, and hey, I produced track 4, “Hip
Read moreRemember when I said November was gonna be a big month for Milwaukee Music? I wasn’t kidding. It’s been so big of a month that I didn’t even know that this tape was coming out. When I did finally get a chance to check it out, though, I realized that it’s more of the same from Blizz. He doesn’t stop.
Read moreI’m really convinced that Tion Fresco & Jay Alexzander are severely underrated. They don’t get the buzz they deserve. The lyricism is relentless on this tape. Look for bigger things from this duo in the future, too. If you don’t know Tion Fresco or Jay Alexzander, do yourself a favor and pick up this free mixtape from HotNewHipHop.com.
Read moreSo… I’ve been busy working on things. School things, video things, work things, radio things. Whatever. Things in general. I’ve got the day off today, so I’m attempting to try to catch up on all of the Milwaukee music that’s come out in the last few weeks. Logic & Raze’s “…STILL Untitled” album was at the top of my list,
Read moreIf you’ve ever seen Klassik live, you’ve probably heard this song. You’ve also probably seen all of SAFS Crew go nuts as soon as it comes on, and for good reason. Klassik is incredibly talented, that’s for damn sure. Look out for big things from Klassik in the near future, but first, listen to “MoonRock” here and download it from
Read moreVonny Del Fresco and Dee Phr3sh just released two new videos within a real short time frame of one another. Since they’re both young Milwaukee artists, and they both work with one another frequently, and I have a lot of homework I should be doing, I put both of their videos together in one post. It’s hard to say which
Read moreI first heard Gerald Walker for the first time in winter 2009, shoveling snow in my alley. At some point before that, I had downloaded his “Evening Out With Your Girlfriend” mixtape, named after the Fall Out Boy album. In the time since then, I’ve watched him evolve to create his own sound, and now he’s doing tracks with Cardo
Read moreIt’s always cool to give new talent some exposure. If you’ve been to Sunday Cyphers at Flow Clothing, you’ve heard of Tion (at least that’s where I met him). Then he sent me this gem of a track. Tion Fresco and Jay Alexzander are just a sample of the new generation of Milwaukee hip hop, eager to get some attention.
Read moreRockzSolid is busy. She’s currently working on an album, preparing a mixtape for release, and running her own business at Brewed Fresh Records. Couple that with the daily stuff that everyone has to go through, and you get the material for “Pressure” the newest track off of her upcoming mixtape “For The Love”. Oh, and there may be a video
Read moreAnother really damn good looking video by Xavier Ruffin. Oh, and Prophetic is really really good, too. Go to Prophpeezy.com to download Proph’s latest project, “Purgatory”.
Read moreCezar has kind of been taking over my blog lately. However, this hungry Milwaukee MC recently released a single off of his upcoming Roman Roulette mixtape entitled “Buried Alive”. Take a listen to this and get a preview of what the mixtape will sound like: http://soundcloud.com/cezarlbe/buried-alive-high
Read moreHere’s a new thing I’ll do once in a while: interviews. Why not, right? Anyway, our first interview subject is Cezar, who I recently introduced to you in my last post. Now you get to know a little more about him than just one song. 1) ME: So, introduce yourself! Who are you, and what is it you do? CEZAR:
Read moreThis is the first of Mad Static’s #FUCKWHOIOFFEND series of tracks, being released on Twitter amongst other outlets. Look out for more tracks from him, including one that may or may not be produced by yours truly…
