Glass City - Hip-Hop Glory
On November 20th, Wu-Tang Clan affiliate/Guinness World Record Freestylist M-Eighty will drop the highly anticipated album “Home Grown Internationally Known”. The LP pays tribute to the rappers hometown of Toledo, OH by featuring all Toledo-based Emcees and Producers alongside the pairing of M-Eighty & newcomer and fellow Toledo native Nino Graye. The duo known as “Glass City”, will be embarking on a 15-date Midwest tour in November alongside the likes of Kid Ink, Cappadonna, & Bronze Nazareth in support of their debut. Fans can expect several videos spawning from the LP’s release including featured tracks “Hip-Hop Glory”, “911”, “Burn it Up”, “Lose My Sheeeit!” & the collegiate-anthem “FAH-Q”.
When asked how the duo came up with the name for their group and the title for their debut, M-Eighty remarked by stating, “I am a home grown product of Toledo, OH who never stopped loving my roots and 30-years later I am that internationally recognized Artist/A&R/Executive that people notice and I still keep it 1000% with my peers. “Glass City” is a nickname for Toledo, OH aka The Renaissance City and though the group is just Nino and I, we definitely showed a lot of love to the artists grinding in Toledo and gave the community a sense of hope that big things can happen if we all learn to motivate and persevere together.” Glass City “Home Grown Internationally Known” drops 11-20-12 on Holy Toledo Productions/Flow-4-Ever Entertainment.

Cool Nutz - Champagne Toast
Portland, Oregon has never been looked at as a Mecca for Urban music and culture. However, there have always been a few people that have carried that flag proudly. Not only locally; but globally.
Cool Nutz has been a shining light for the cities under acknowledged Hip-Hop scene. With 7 critically acclaimed solo albums under his belt, Cool Nutz releases his 8th solo album entitled “Portland Ni%#a”.
The title of the album represents more a mindset and history of music that exists in the city but doesn’t tend to get the credit and spotlight it deserves. Music that represents the cities harsher and more non-rural side.
With a release date of August 28th, Cool Nutz has enlisted hip-hop heavyweights to assist in creating the electrifying audio landscape for “Portland Ni%#a”. Look for features from Tech N9ne, The Grouch, Krizz Kaliko, Messy Marv, Mistah Fab, Bosko, and more.

Gensu Dean - Alice In Wonderland (Feat. David Banner)
The Grand Imperial Gensu Dean caused waves with his Mello Music Group debut LP Lo-Fi Fingahz. Never one to rest on his laurels, the southern beat maestro is ready to announce his sophomore project with the legendary Planet Asia. The new project is titled Abrasions and will be out this winter! But to hold fans over in the meantime, Dean is dropping some new visuals for his collaboration with David Banner, “Alice In Wonderland”.
Conceived and directed by Calvan Fowler of Daydream Filmworks, the same mind and lens that directed Dean’s previous video “Forever feat. Large Professor”, this clip is a trip down the rabbit hole complete with mad hatters, giant rabbits and sadistic doctors. David Banner sounds energized as he plays off Deans’ smooth guitar sample in a two-verse tale about a woman done wrong. The two Mississippi natives show great chemistry in the clip, no surprise since the two go back years—their first work together was more than 10 years ago when Banner was in the heralded group, Crooked Lettaz.
“Alice In Wonderland” can be found on the stellar Lo-Fi Fingahz album, still available on cd, vinyl, and digital. Stay tuned for more news on the Gensu Dean & Planet Asia album, Abrasions, coming on Mello Music Group.

Kardinal Offishall & Nottz Raw - Mr. Parker (Feat. Shi Wisdom)
Enjoy. Remember. Reflect. Relate. Re-live. Realize. Re-invent. Kardinal and Nottz (on the beat) link up with Shi Wisdom to bring you "Mr.Parker". A song about growing up and living with the challenges of an education system that is built for "us" to fail (or atleast having it be very difficult to succeed). With little encouragement, many of us have overcome and beat the system, no thanx to "Mr.Parker". I posted this way to late but I love this song so it had to be shared!

Skyzoo - JanSport Strings
The official video for "JanSport Strings", the Lead single off Skyzoo's upcoming album 'A Dream Deferred' out Oct. 2nd on The Faculty/Duck Down Music Inc.
Skyzoo describes the video and the song in his own words. "The video, directed by Anthony Sylvester, was shot throughout Bed Stuy, Brooklyn NY. The theme was to show the parallels between me as a 9-year old aspiring emcee and me now as an accomplished emcee and artist, and how the things around me that groomed me haven't changed. The song is a 3-minute auto-bio of me as a kid in Brooklyn. The ending is a clip from Video Music Box, the legendary NYC video show run by DJ Ralph McDaniels. This episode in particular was the debut of Chi-Ali's 'Age Ain't Nothin But A Number'. Seeing that video that day on this episode of VMB made me start rhyming. This clip was literally the moment that changed my life. And the Chi-Ali tee shirt is pretty amazing. They'll be on sale soon. Enjoy...""

Skyzoo - Give It Up
The official video for the new single "Give It Up" featuring DJ Prince. Produced by !llmind (Kanye West, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Scarface), the single mashes vintage dirty hip hop drums and 808s with dubstep grime, is a staple of !llmind's new signature "boom-trap" sound, which can most recently be found via his production on "The Morning" by Kanye West & G.O.O.D. Music off of the Cruel Summer album. Topped with Sky's signature "slick talk" lyricism, the song is a subwoofer's dream come true. I honestly have to say that this is the worst song from Skyzoo I have ever heard.
