Review:

We have to talk about production first. No disrespect to the STAR of the album Mr. Chappell, but if we don't wake up and smell what 38 Spesh is cooking. Whoooo! He is in a zone producing albums since I've started listening to this dude. He's been in a zone all his life. Everything this guy touches turns to PURE Hip-Hop. Check his catalog. Everyone is putting up there catalogs on Instagram for fun. I dear someone to battle 38 Spesh. 

 Now, Mr. Chappell. Thank you for this project. This project is not just incredible based on production, you are such a lyricist. I'm a FAN since I heard your voice brother. I feel you passion in the bars. I see visuals when you rhyme. Your a top tier MC. You are a problem. I hope your reading and watching me give you your flowers while you can smell them.

 While the music takes you into a trance, Rasheed brings you tales from his life. There's comfort and confidence in his bars. You feel the pain, but also feel the good spirit in his soul. Without you even knowing, he's also educating you. It's like he has the spirit of PAC and BIG with Prodigy Cadence. 

And he just had to put FOUR of the heaviest contenders for TOP TEN MC's on this EP.  Che Noir, Planet Asia, The Musalini and Jamal Gasol were also in a zone on this album. All of their verses are in prime order. These ARTIST are looking to take over this year. 

 Especially, the Cocoa Butter Queen Che Noir. "I use rap as my escape, they never knew she was nice, I'm Jill Scott, niggas amazed on what I do to these mics." - Eye of the Storm Ft. Che Noir

 This is a re-occurring event with 38 Spesh. He's putting out shorter albums. Or EP's. Or projects. Whatever they are, they are a breath of fresh air. This producer/MC is an elite. A unicorn in hip-hop. He's the respirator that was needed when NAS claimed Hip-Hop was DEAD. So, whenever your ready to accept Hip-Hop as your Savor, pay homage to 38 Spesh. He's a GREAT problem to have for RAP.

 This project is a 5 MIC. The combination of the Artist and Producer took these songs to another level. A level that is appreciated. #Trust

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...
