KD “Big Spender” (Prod. by David Banner)
This is a classic cut from Houston rapper Sho featuring Pimp C, I spotted over at TrillConnection. After hearing this record, I instantly heard one of my favorite Pimp C verses ever. This is the real-life southern street shit that I can’t get enough of.
Pimp C:
The way I came up was all fucked up/All the niggaz smoked fry and sold d on the cuts
The girls all fat cuz they had kids too soon/and they bodies all throwed from niggaz jumpin n they womb
Nobody had no daddy so we asked to be the men/Never knew the bitch nigga or doin’ time in the pen
So mama wore the pants, but the pants too heavy/So I dropped outta school and started sellin’ dope steady
Classic album of the Day: Lou Bond “Light In The Attic”. “Light In The Attic” is the ultimate title for this enigmatic soul release from the Memphis, TN based artist Lou Bond. The title is appropriate because the album is more likely to be found in the attict of an avid music collecter than anywhere else in the world. The album was released on the We Produced label, an imprint of Memphis based label Stax Records. The album was written flawlessy, incorporating invigorating social commentary about the struggles of the early 1970s and soulful love songs. He was also musically backed by Memphis’s Symphony String Orchestra and The Horns of South Memphis, not mention some excellent bass players who just accentuated each record, just see the albums standout record “To The Establishent” which has been sampled by OutKast (“Wailin”), Mary J. Blige (“Free”) and recently Starlito (“Alright”). Also, “That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be” is my favorite love ballad on the album. 1970s southern soul at his finest.
The world-famous Devin the Dude will be gracing the stage of the Apache Cafe in Atlanta on Tuesday, May 25th. He’ll be performing with The Coughee Brothaz. Opening the show with an original posse cut will be the BFD Band and an all star cast of Atlanta MCs including Methuzulah, DT, The Nice Guise, Headkrack, Ethereal, 4ize, and Rock Most.
This show is definitely expected to sell out so get your tickets in advance for only $15. If you’ve ever been to the Apache, you know this is the perfect venue to see the Dude burn it down (burn down the stage, I mean). Here’s a map to the Apache just in case. Don’t miss this one - it’s got the BLVD ST seal of approval.

This is the first song to leak off Alley Boy and DJ Drama’s upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Purgatory. It’s further evidence that when Alley spits over samples, he goes full retard. His sound is more diverse because of it, although his bread and butter is still his ability to match the intensity of original beats like “Throw It Up” and “I’m Strapped”. With Pill and Alley Boy on the docket for upcoming Gangsta Grillz tapes, it looks like Drama is making a point to go back to the hoods of Atlanta, which to me was always the point of the Gangsta Grillz series. These early leaks are definitely promising.

Put a wah wah guitar in your song and I’ll probably post it, haha. This shit jams for real though. Who woulda thought a guy from Harlem could rock over some country rap tunes like these?
