SULAIMAN-PAST PERFECT

I stopped what I was doing to immediately check out and post $ulaiman’s new project Past Perfect. The phrase “steel sharpens steel” usually applies to a symbiotic relationship, but when it comes to Suli, he’s sharpening his own skills through diligence, hard work and consistency. I’ve listened to every tape he’s put out (check the archives) and this project shows incredible range. Whether production wise or lyrically, there is something for everyone on Past Perfect. Songs to groove to, zone out to, dance to. A little bit of everything! I pulled out a few of my favorites for you but do yourself a favor and hit the skip for the tracklist, link and some recent footage of him at Onyx 2.0. #Church

VANDALYZM – B!%^H IM’MIS TALENTED MIXTAPE

Vandalyzm stays working. Not that on-Twitter-have-to-tell-everyone-that-I’m-doing-something type working, but REAL work.

You’re looking at features on tracks with the likes of Skyzoo, Royce The 5’9, Naledge from Kidz In The Hall, Black Spade, El Prez, and production from Van himself, 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Nameless, 6th Sense and more. Simply put, check out the Bandcamp stream below and partake!

WE’RE JUST DISAPPOINTED – VIC SPENCER & SULAIMAN

It is my pleasure to drop this dope collaborative  effort from my brother and fellow BLIND I FOR THE KIDS affiliate Sulaiman in association with BRAINIAC SOCIETY’s very own Vic Spencer entitled ‘ WE’RE JUST DISAPPOINTED’…..The project is a lyrical embodiment of the frustration stemming from two outliers navigating a realm of scene hoes, wack rappers, janky promoters, anonymous blog comments, and all-around bitch-assness. They’ve seen what the status quo has to offer, and frankly, they’re Just Disappointed.

With stellar production from M. Stacks, Black Spade, Statik Selektah, Constrobuz, NAMELESS, Nez & Rio, Maja 7th, Beat Maker Beat, and features from Naledge of Kidz In The Hall, Simeon of The Primeridian, Alex P. Keaton, D2G, Yung Word Mann, and Gzus Piece, Vic & Sulaiman are able to vividly depict the definition of Disappointment in a manner that everyone can relate to. 13 tracks of dope shit, tailor made to make a change by actually BEING the change. Peep “Feel Better” to get a sample of some of the heat that this album is packin … HEAT!

BRAVO!
