Johnny Cinco - No Choice [Video]

It's been a long time coming for Johnny Cinco. He dropped his newest project non-concidentally on Cinco De Mayo! The project is entitled "John Popi" The project can be viewed and downloaded on Livemixtapes.com. Cinco also dropped on the 5th of May, his latest video, which is for a song that has been bubbling in the streets for awhile now. You can see the video for "NO CHOICE" below.


 


 The video is great, and I hope this really puts Cinco where he needs to be.

Guyana Gold by Money Makin Nique

There is this common misconception that Atlanta only produces trap music or one and done acts. Even though there are several examples that Atlanta's music culture is diverse, it still tends to fall into that stereotype. Well, I have another artist to throw you off that way of thinking. We have here, Money Makin Nique, The Lion King, The Roughneck. Nique's latest project is entitled Guyana Gold. He tells the story of how Atlanta is synonymous with the biblical city of Babylon. The story of how the city is doomed while at the same time it thrives. If you live or frequent Atlanta, you know exactly what he is saying. Guyana Gold gives listeners a full length project to indulge in, something Nique's previous project didn't. You get to pull back the layers as he navigates through the city he calls Babylon.

10pc Mild by Trinidad Jame$

ForteBowie - Vice Haus

If you look back through the pages of this blog you'll see this guy's name mentioned several times. ForteBowie is one of my favorite artists, period. His versatility is unmatched by most artists today. Forte finally has released a new project entitled VICE HAUS. It's been a year and half since "Something About Bowie" dropped and he surely didn't disappoint. Vice Haus takes you through the frame of mind of a twenty-something trying to figure out his life. The 7-track EP (which is really like 10 songs) is completely produced by Forte himself and has one feature which is Miloh Smith on M.O.B. The dope part about Forte is he always comes at you from a different perspective not normally explored by his peers. I like to call his brand of music "tastefully ratchet"...It sounds so good, but the subject matter might still be lowbrow, but his spin on it then bumps it back up a notch. Can't beat it. "Gucci Mane" is the lead single of this project. Check out the tape. Catch Forte on the Don't Be Safe Tour with Trinidad James.

ForteBowie - Impala

Just like anybody else, I go through phases when I just run songs into the ground.  This is the current song that is going through this treatment.  This is ForteBowie's Impala, produced by Friendly Fires. Too Dope.

The Weeknd - Thursday

It's still early and I've listened to this tape twice already, but I can't give a review.  It sounds good, but I haven't given it a proper listen.  Is it better than House of Balloons? Probably not, but it is still moving in the right direction.  As long as the young man stays with his production team, he'll be a winner.

The amount of downloads within 13 hours of release Thursday has accumulated is crazy.
The Weeknd is a music anomaly because people normally don't care about your work early in your career.
But he's been able to create an unprecedented buzz with his music.
Now he just needs to learn how to perform on stage.
Once he has that down, his journey is endless.

ForteBowie

This one is a lil ahead of the curve but this is some good music.  He goes by the name ForteBowie and he's from Atlanta.  He recently released his mixtape called "Something About #Bowie." He needs some polishing but he's definitely on to something here.  This is not his first body of work, and I myself have to go back and listen to his old joints, but his sound is right up my alley.  Below is what I feel is the stand out track.  It's called "Alive" and it features another Atlanta artist by the name of Stanza. Another track worth a mention is "Ratchet."



The production is very solid on his latest mixtape, which is mostly done by Bowie himself.  He can only get better.  The only thing I can see that he completely lacks is an image.  Once he finds that, he's on his way.  Keep on pushin Forte. People are gonna hear you.
