After a short delay, it’s finally here. An entire street album of one of my favorite team-ups in rap: Jackie Chain and the Block Beattaz. Shout out to everyone who made this possible, including J Dirrt, Baller’s Eve, DJ Burn One, Pleazure House, and Slow Motion Soundz. And of course to Dirty Glove Bastard for letting us steal their link.

Here’s the first leak off Diego’s new mixtape Honorable Mention hosted by DJ Burn One.

Wanted to give this one some shine because it’s been a while in the making. If you didn’t know, Untamed is a duo out of Huntsville, AL. They’re affiliated with Slow Motion Soundz but their style is different from the other artists in that camp. You could say they have more raw, buck energy, but there’s more to it than that. Take a listen to this new street album hosted by the homie DJ Dirrty of Baller’s Eve, and check out last night’s episode of Baller’s Eve, where you can hear the dudes from Untamed getting rowdy in the Big Apple. Props to BluHaze for the upload!

There used to be a time where putting live concert recordings on your album was a familiar practice. Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley did it, and something about the sound of a crowd would put you in a different, almost elevated, place as a listener. Fast-forward to 2010, where crowd sounds meant samples of crazed chanting, as in “OMG” or “Power”. Forever setting himself apart from the pack, DJ Burn One’s use of cheers at the start of “Live” are a throwback to the energy of those old-school live recordings.

If you’ve been paying attention to Burn One and production collective The Green Machine (including Ricky Fontaine, Walt Live, and The Professor), then you know to expect an ensemble production, with bass, guitar, keys, and samples laced into, out of, and all over the fabric of a slick ass beat. With the releases of “Bobby Cox” and “Live”, we’re starting to see a distinctive sound emerge. It’s different from each artist’s individual work, and it seems like the sum is even greater than the total of the parts. The Ashtray will be released in January, a complete instrumental album in this vein. For those of you who absolutely have to have some rap to go with your beats, The Green Machine will also be handling the majority of the production of Rittz’s upcoming project, White Jesus. That’s a one-two combo that will knock the sleep out of a lot of motherfuckers’ eyes. As the national scope on southern rap continues to widen, The Green Machine sonds like they’re poised to remind us why Atlanta is still a rap powerhouse.

Here is a never before heard track from KD. I like this record because it showcases the introspective (for lack of better words) side of KD. A small glimpse into the vast amount of material KD has been recording in the last couple of months. Produced by B. Kirk

If you haven’t checked out The Raign’s new album, Organic, or at least the sampler, you’re fucking up. The video is a tribute to hard workers everywhere. Trust me, you should be on the lookout for these dudes.
