The dude is pretty fresh. I remember his verses from when he was in Screwball back in the day (I gotta dig those 12"s outta the record crate now haha!). Old School NY Boom Bap style throughout but it's DJ Premier so you know it's official. Blaq Poet has been leaking tracks for a couple months ("ain't nuttin changed," "hate") and now the full length is finally out. "The Blaqprint" dropped on Tuesday and despite the derivative title it's worth a listen.
It's been two years since barely-legal Baltimore babe Rye Rye and DJ Blaqstarr released the video clip for “Shake it to the Ground.” Her long-awaited first official solo single, a breakbeat-fueled B-More Club banger titled “Bang,” has been out for a few months now, and a club-themed video for the track has finally surfaced!
“Bang,” which was produced by her mentor Blaqstarr and features guest-vocals from her other mentor M.I.A., is out now and available in a number of diverse formats from retailers everywhere. It's the first single from her forthcoming debut album, due out any time now on M.I.A.'s own N.E.E.T. Records label, distributed by Interscope.
