Bizzle (@MyNameIsBizzle)- Beware Pt. 1 (No Church In The Wild Response)

Bizzle said exactly what I was thinking in his first sentence (Don't say nothing to me if you ain't gon say nothing to them) before beginning his verse in his diss record titled "Beware Pt.1" to Kanye and Jay-Z's watch the throne track "No Church In The Wild". As I've said time and time again their will always be those who speak the Truth and those who think their speaking the truth. If my Truth says that your's is a lie is it still truth?- Lecrae.

New drop from PRO Music's and L.A. native Antoine Carter entitled "My Call" Let me know what you think. The new sophomore album "Entreprenegro" will be dropping soon and this single is creating a huge buzz.

Bizzle- This Ain't Love ft. Lavoisier & Sevin ( @MyNameIsBizzle @Lavoisier_MC @sevinhogmob)

Bizzle, Lavoisier, and Sevin put it down on this track and video "This Ain't Love" giving example of what we do as a society swearing that the love we show is real. Well these brothers is letting it be known that what we as a society think is love isn't. Then giving example of what love really is. 1John 4:8 He that love no know not God; for God is love.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Andy Mineo- Fools Gold Ft. Sho Baraka (@andymineo @amishobaraka @reachre...

I don't have much to say about this track and video "Fools Gold" from Reach Records own Andy Mineo featuring Sho Baraka. Why? Because this is one of the DOPEST in studio video I have seen in a while. It speaks for is self yo. The work speaks for its self.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Tedashii - Dum Dum - feat. Lecrae (@tedashii @lecrae @reachrecords)

Tedashii, Lecrae, and the Reach Records family puts out another fly visual from Tedashii's album Black Light for the track titled "Dum Dum" I love the enery of this track for real yo. It gets your boy extra hype. And the video just complements the high octane in the track its self. Shout out to the Reach camp for always giving  us the Word and as well as entertaining us. And giving us top notch quality in their art.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Eshon Burgundy - Street Runner (@burgaking @rapzilla)

Eshon drops another banging track and video titled "Street Runner". I really dig this visual as well as the production of the track its self. Eshon's quickly becoming one of my favorite artist. This brother and his team are putting in a lot of work to make sure they represent Christ well in their art. Shout out to Rapzilla for shining light on it first.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Bizzle ( @MyNameIsBizzle ) - Just Sayin (Official Video)

From his album Tough Love & Parables Bizzle releases a video for the track "Just Sayin". This is in my opinion one of the most controversal tracks and videos I've heard or seen. He's calling ALL of us as artist out on our positions as influential people and role models whether we think we are or not. This one is definitely an eye opener for me and hope it does the same for you.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Bumps INF (@BumpsINF) - Exhibit A (Freestyle)

Shout  out to Bizzle for bringing attention to this first and it only being right since their brother's under the same label lol. But all jokes aside Bumps INF delivers an unbelieveble free style on the well  known Exhibit A instrumental if you doubt what I'm saying take a listen for yourself.- DaCloak ( @DaCloakAKATha1 )

Apollo Brown & Haasaan Mackey New Daily Bread track "MegePhone" + Album On Vinyl Today!

Apollo Brown & Hassaan Mackey's Daily Bread is officially available everywhere today on Vinyl! The special edition vinyl comes with a free bonus 45 that includes two album remixes. To celebrate MMG is giving away one of the albums most popular tracks, Megaphone.

About the song:

Megaphone starts off with the recollection of a dream before Rochester Emcee Hassaan Mackey starts in with descriptions of fistfights and shots ringing.  Hassaan's tale of battle and survival resonates over Apollo's rugged, solid, straight forward drums and slightly ominous, bent brass horns that carry the song like a beleaguered soldier over the city's sidewalks.  "Just Another Day In The Hood, And I'm, Gonna Tell The Whole World About It"

About the Album:
Daily Bread is a deafening welcome into Hassaan Mackey's world of distress.  Each song's gritty emotional truth echos over Apollo Brown's heavy, head-nodding production.  Hassaan's gravelly voice etches out a world among brass horns, sharp snares, and booming bass.  HipHopDX aptly compared Daily Bread to works from veterans like O.C., Kam and Tragedy Khadafi.  A storyteller's album produced by Detroit's newest star, Apollo Brown.

Throwback- Athletic Mic League "Hip Hop Quotables" and more

The 7 man crew known as the Athletic Mic League came together while still attending high school in Ann Arbor, MI. buff1, 14KT, Grand Champ, Sunny Star, Texture, and Vital joined forces with DJ Haircut and after two years of love and support from the local hip-hop community they made it official. Athletic Mic League was out to show the world what their brand of hip-hop was all about.

By 1998 AML had blessed high school talent shows, house parties, and hip-hop nights across Detroit. Following up with their underground classic demo The Thrill Is Gone, the buzz grew to deafening levels. In 1999 they settled in Jersey City, quickly building their reputation and skills in the neighboring New York hip-hop scene. 

They capitalized on their growing notoriety by dropping their debut album Sweats & Kicks which received rave reviews from the streets and hip-hop tastemakers alike. It also afforded them the opportunity of a lifetime. Their music was heard by Yasser Khan, an upstart manager out of Detroit’s Barak Records. He was enthralled by their sound, and immediately set out to find what he knew was a once-in-a-career group. He introduced them to Barak’s CEO, RJ Rice. Rice, a well-known record industry executive and the man behind seminal Detroit rap group Slum Village, recognized that AML had their finger on the pulse of what hip-hop needed: an infusion of energy and originality.- From LastFM.com

Dove Hagan chats with Freedom's Ink about her latest album, why you need to see her live and more.

Dove Hagan is an ingenuously soulful Soul/R&b artist out of Jacksonville, Fl. My attention was captured after hearing a few of her tracks from the then upcoming In the Key of G album. Now released it has absolutely fulfilled all of her fans expectations. Incredibly written, wonderfully performed, a exquisite blend of soul, jazz and spoken word. We had the opportunity to ask Dove a few questions about her love of music, her love of music, and her latest project. Enjoy. 

FI-What is your background in music? Were you inspired by your family? 
DH- I began singing at the age of 9yrs old in the school's chorus and much of my love for music and eagerness to participate in the school's choir was initiated by my mother.  She was a beautiful singer and I always tried to mimic her sound.  A day never went by that she wasn't playing a diverse mix of Soul, R&B, Rock or even Country.  I never forgot how I felt in those days and used music to hold on to the better memories of my early childhood.

FI-When did music become your passion and you decided that you wanted it to become a career? 

DH- Music became a passion for me early in life and as I matriculated through school I was fortunate enough to have music educators that kept my interest alive.  I knew I wanted music as a career after high school, but for practical purposes never saw an "in" that would support the drive.  I was finally able to put forth a valiant effort in 2004 to start my first studio album.

FI-What has been your happiest moment in your career? 

DH- My happiest moment was at my CD release party.  I was able to see a tangible product from years of hard work and share the success with people that were genuinely happy to see my dreams materialize.

FI- What does the phrase 'I made it' mean to you? 

DH- "I made it' means that others that hear my music are able to see my vision and without material gain, share my ministry to others in their circle that may benefit from my words, trials and experiences.

FI- Tell us about your current album. Do you have another project coming? 

DH- My debut album "In the Key of G.." was released in October 2010 and focuses on how nature and man work in concert with God (the G.. in the title) to make beautiful music that people rarely take the time to slow down and admire.  The wind blowing leaves, oceans roaring, animals baying or singing are all a part of the sound of the Universe and I wanted to capture as much of that "sound" as possible on the project.  The spoken word intro, which pays homage to the elders before us is produced in the music key of G.  I worked on my next project in conjunction with the first, so I'm almost ready to share it with the world.  The title is "Elements of One Love" and focuses on how the elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire correlate to human emotions.  The album itself will explore social issues and bring awareness to a lot of taboo topics. 

FI- Tell us why we should see Dove Hagan live?
DH- Dove Hagan live is an organic and spiritual experience.  Connecting energies is the goal of my music and being able to physically interact with the crowd gives me a "charge" and intuition to know exactly how the song needs to be delivered.  The exchange between myself and the audience personalizes our relationship and gives them a unique takeaway from the event
