The man’s been through a succession of deep struggles that would crush a mere mortal. But his strength of character reinforces the fact that he’s a warrior!!!
3) FLEE LORD garners much adulation from audiences worldwide…but he’s got a lyrical lawnmower on deck for the “Snakes In Disguise!!” DJ GREEN LANTERN fuels the “Raised In The Sand” soundscape with a sinister edge that amps up the energy & thrusts the mic maniac into action!!! You’re better off livin’ in your truth than propagatin’ a lie! Don’t play games or Flee is bound to pull your card!!!
4) JAMAL GASOL x CEDAR LAW$ can drop new heat “Everyday” like this ill sizzler featuring the one & only TONEY BOI!!! The bar assassins stride across Cedar’s triumphant wave of nostalgia with vivid tales of the street and a wistful nod to days gone by. When the block gets hot ya gotta lay low for a bit…but in the underground it’s always Jamal’s time to shine!
5) AGALLAH THE DON is takin’ everything that belongs to him…and then some…as he transports us to an underground Xanadu on “YUMADO!!!” The forward thinking lyrical fury leaves all competitors flailing in the wind as he blazes through the atmosphere in a vessel of immaculate production!!!

Sometimes the only thing that needs to change is your mind. Grant these power spitters permission to endow you with a positive perspective!
8) DIAMOND D & KRS-ONE are two of “The Kings” of this glorious thing we call Hip Hop. But the crown don’t mean a thang if ya can’t get booked for a tour! What you must learn is that The Teacha will gladly forego a majestic title for a fat check that allows him to catch wreck in your town! Commerce trumps accolades in the world we live in! Pay these icons and watch ’em break it down!!!
