A time Lyrics mattered to the population, and garbage was not the main course, MC Hammer was getting booted off world stage. Rakim ruled the mic and soulja Boy was in preschool, and the Ying Yang twins were figuring out what to do with their lives.

This is what music is all about, not about the diamonds, the cars, the houses, the women, and the fame, lyrics. Rakim brought you this, and depicted colorful ideas in deep metaphor, grounded by his street wisdom and book smarts, it made him a huge figure in the Rap World, and remains the prototype to many, minus the bubble gum rappers, and the studio gangsters. From Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Nas(major influence in his delivery), The Game, Lloyd Banks, and yes even 50cent.

Enjoy!

Debut album from december 32nd. This album is the creation of two musically connected friends. Good Ole Pensacola boi’s !! Ryan Sturup and Casey Hall meet in Pensacola. They started to colaborate their talents lyrics together many moons & stars ago. They have paid their due in the music industry and even lived out of their car in LA when they first started out. Both of their lives have taken taken many twists and turns with lessons learned and both are livng a more harmonious lifestyle doing what they love to do together….Writing music.  Ryan back in LA, living a more civilized lifestyle in Santa Monica and “Ole Boi” Casey Hall is living with his wife Missy and family in Houston, Texas. Missy is also the vocalist on the album.  Separated by many miles, the two connect their music expressions and writing styles via the world wide web and cell phones.

You can go to both of their websites to purchase their album: go to their my space site: their new urban sound.

One of the tracks was selected for an independent film written, directed  & by James Franco of Spiderman and Flyboys fame. Check out their edgy, contemporary and surround sound style on their latest collaboration.  

If you like the Deftones, Lil John, Korn, Trillville, Marilyn Manson, etc, etc, You are going to love this Chicken Head Bobbin, Crunk Beats meets Street Metal Murder Guitar Riffs smoothered in savory screams, mixed with raps topped off by female ecstasy.

Its  raw, gutsey and artistic and no one is touching the style. Go to CD Baby and buy the album today
