"Say No More" by Rittz ft. Krizz Kaliko & Tech N9ne



"Backstage doin' blow with a snow bunny/
Rappers that you think's dope, we poke fun at/
But don't come at me wrong, homie you don't want it/
These coyote dudes too slow for this road runner/"


Alright. So I've probably posted every song from this album that's been posted to Strange Music's official YouTube page. And as long as they post em, I'm gonna post em. This album is nuts. It's crazy. Ever since it was released on April 30th, I haven't switched the cd outta my car. It's such a great album when it comes to beat selection, guitar solos, turntablism, lyrics, flow, choruses, everything. Probably the most complete album I've heard in 2013 so far. This track right here features the two main Strange Music frontmen, Krizz Kaliko and Tech N9ne. They all have dope verses, the chorus is tight, and like I mentioned earlier, the scratching and guitar solo sound tight. Check this shit out. Ye-uh-yeeeuh!

"Stand It" by Locksmith ft. Anesha



"My sister used to tell me 'Please Ali, don't be a fool'/
If you gon' do this music, use rap as a vehicle/
See this could be your tool/
If you ain't sayin something meaningful to people then you probly need to be in school/"

Cheaaa boyy. Locksmith is still grinding and consistently droppin ill shit. I'm not sure how old his "Labyrinth" mixtape is, but I recently downloaded it and I've been a fan of his music ever since. I was a fan before, but that mixtape solidified the fact for me that he's an absolute beast. Today I found this joint which was just released. It's got that classic hip-hop feel, as most 9th Wonder productions. On top of that, Anesha blesses the track with mesmerizing vocals to compliment Locksmiths crazy muhfuckin lyrics. This shit is dope. I'm guessing this is a track from his album, "The Green Box", which releases tomorrow.

"Wastin' Time" by Rittz ft. Big K.R.I.T.



"Kids my age done graduated college, some married, some had some kids/
Most of 'em have credit cards and cars and large houses, me? I'm on that rappin' shit/
Which means I don't gotta job, I just gotta couple hundred dollars and a sack, and a pack of cigs/
Still smoke with the crew but it ain't fun like it used to be, we get high, we don't laugh, we bitch/"

Ever since the day this album was released I've wanted to share pretty much every song from the tracklist. However, the only way to do that was to share a link that would eventually get removed from YouTube due to copyright purposes. So thanks to Strange Music, I'm finally able to share a song that won't get removed later on. This track right here is a collab between two very distinctive southern artists who make a great duo. Both Rittz and K.R.I.T. had sick verses over top of this mellow down south instrumental. I like the content of this track and all of the elements compiled into it make it a perfect track to smoke a blunt and cruise around to. Yee-uh-yeeeuh!

"Holla-Loo-Yuh" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko


 
"It's a brutal system, assume position/
You superstition that you a Christian/
School religion is a cruel depiction/
It could blind your hearing, it could mute your vision/"
 
Holy fuck. This song is so fucking sick. RA made a really good business move by adding this song to the tracklist. C-Lance produced this crazy beat that Tech & RA absolutely murdered. On top of that Krizz Kaliko delivers a sick chorus, as always. But man I'm lost for words, you gotta listen for yourself.

"DGAF" by Tito Lopez




"No paint on the face, no pork on the fork/
Gave birth to these n*ggas, had intercourse with a stork/
Ain't no issue with you, you pussy I could send my chick/
Loyal to my team, ain't no Arnold but I been a dick/"

I seen this guy perform at a Big KRIT show last summer, but I don't know too much about him. I know his track "The Blues" and I think that song's dope as hell, but that's about it. So this morning I seen this track and decided to give it a listen and it's actually pretty good. Just for spittin straight through the beat. He kept it consistent and had a few good rhymes in there. Check it.

"Open Letter (Freestyle)" by Ransom


"Mad I made it, never congratulated/
Y'all n*ggas sat back and hated, but now that I'm agitated/
You getting eradicated, Verbally gladiate it/
Obama's tellin me "chill", I might get him assassinated/"


Ransom's back with another crazy freestyle. Seems like all I ever hear from him is a bunch of freestyles, but if he keeps it this raw, I don't even mind. This one's over Jay-Z's recently released track, "Open Letter", which I haven't yet heard. But I have a feeling it ain't lyrically on Ransom's level.. that's just my opinion though. Check it!

"All 4 U" by Jon Connor



"Wake up feelin' like you ain't shit, want to but can't quit/
Ain't worried bout makin' money, we just tryna make it/
Try to make it make sense to the folks you hold close/
When money ain't comin in, now everyone you love ghost/"

 
Today's a big day for Jon Connor. The Flint, Michigan emcee finally got himself a nifty lil website for the fans to check out [www.JonConnorMusic.com]. In celebration of the website's launch, he decided to release this song. "All 4 U" is a track that didn't make it onto his "Unconscious State" project, which should be coming soon. The link above has the option for you to download it for free, which I think you should do because this track is fire. Nice beat, sick flow n rhymes, and as always Jon Connor keeps it 100 for ya.
