Elcamino - Money For Bail Album REVIEW

Elcamino says this is NOT a complete album and it GOT LEAKED. I'll leave this up, but won't do a YouTube review. I tweeted him, that it's ON TIDAL! (4/28/20)

Elcamino is a underground veteran who's name rings a bell. He's the equivalent to the 90's Hip-Hop grimy type music. He's a very important part of the resurrection of HOOD THEME BARS and BEATS.

Review:

This is a 17 minute project that intrigues me because it's still good music. Elcamino's been around for a couple a years laying down tracks. He has over 10 albums alone. I think this is his 10th project now that I think about it. 

It's between an EP and Album based off the time-frame and number of cuts. I'm reviewing it because this is my type of music and I'm happy when it's in my ears and soul. Camino, keep throwing out projects even if they are shorter than my showers. As long as it's quality music. 

Elcamino's bars are simple, but very entertaining. He is very clear on what he wants to say and the honesty pierces through you over these heavy dark beats. His flow reminds me of that 90's flow that was so gloomy and realistic. His stories are 3D and you feel his pain in his bars. He makes you feel like you know him. He easily could of been switched out with someone like Ty Nitty or Big Noyd. 

Elcamino AKA Tony Snow AKA Meechie or Demetruis Jackson is a rapper you will grow to love. His grimy and sometimes funny rhymes, will keep your attention. It could be his voice as well. He's a rapper with a distinctive voice like Easy E or Guru. Remember the song by Gangstarr, "Mostly Tha Voice"? It reminds us that in all music, most artist have a distinctive voice to standout and to be superstars. Is Mr. Snow on that road?

"I showed love to my hood, but still served my neighbors" - Plague 

This Buffalo, NY young gent is on his way to people's phone's and homes soon. He's proven that he's has something to say and I'm listening. I hope y'all are too. 

With that said, I'm giving Mr. Camino and this Album a 3.5 MIC Rating. With the sinister and dark beats, Elcamino blesses each track with that real street shit. That grab a 40 ounce and a dime bag shit. That, lets get some ladies and chill shit. That break up the weed and smoke shit.

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours Dear G Fam Black, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. I know you don’t do many press features, and this is a wonderful chance for your fans to learn a bit about you while still keeping some of that mystery. I truly appreciate it. Peace, G. I’m grateful for this opportunity! - G Fam Black Questions & Answers: 1. Are you originally from Brockton Massachusetts? And where are the best places to eat? Absolutely, I was born and raised in Brockton. There are plenty of great food spots here. For the best chicken, I’d recommend “Yas Chicken” and “Birdies Hot Chicken”, which are both fantastic. For breakfast, I have to mention “Alexander's Family Restaurant”. They’ve been around since I was a kid, and their omelets are incredible. For pizza, “Cape Cod Cafe Pizza” is the way to go—it's the best bar pizza in the world, a true South Shore Massachusetts specialty. A lot of towns near Brockton brag about having the best bar pizza, but th...

How To Support Your Local Rapper/Producer?

  The Core Problem: The Illusion of Support vs. Real Financial Impact Many fans believe that streaming a song, watching a music video, or following an artist on social media is "support." While this is valuable for visibility, it provides almost no direct income, especially for artists without major label backing. The Streaming Chasm:  It's well-known that streaming payouts are meager. An artist might need  hundreds of thousands of streams  just to earn a modest monthly rent. For underground rappers without playlist placements or algorithmic favor, this is an insurmountable hurdle. The "Exposure" Fallacy:  Many shows, especially for opening acts or in competitive markets, are "pay-to-play" or offer minimal guarantees. Playing for "exposure" doesn't pay bills. So, if streaming and low-tier shows don't cut it, how  can  fans genuinely support rappers, especially underground ones? Let's break it down by impact. Tier 1: The Lifeblood ...

P-Ro is 12 FOR 12

Dear P-Ro, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. The year of 2025 was definitely a great year for you. 12 Albums in 12 months is something to be proud of. Your consistency, drive and performance shows, if you work hard, the world is yours. Questions & Answers: 01 Releasing one album per month for a year is a monumental, almost athletic creative feat. What was the core philosophy or personal need that drove this marathon? Was it to break a habit, prove something, or simply because the music was overflowing? -It was actually a little bit of all those, and wanting to challenge myself with a goal and try to get better at being organized. The list of projects I made in December looks different than what I ended up doing. If I wasn't dedicated to monthly drops, I probably wouldn't have made 4-5 of the ones I did. It's great to have a team that's like-minded and can dive in with me when I need them and make great, fun music together and share it with th...
