The crew Barbaydose releases their latest offering "Look Up At The Sky", produced by Hiright. Keep your eyes open for some hidden easter eggs that emphasize the nature of conspiracies/science fiction while pulling back the veil on what society deems fact or fiction. I know these are real conversations that Barbaydose have in their lives because I've been there to discuss these theories of what's seen and unseen. Check out "Look Up At The Sky" and reflect on your own interpretations of what's real/fake in the current State of the World. #DNA 1. Artist name/Influences:  Barbaydose is a rap trio...

  " I'd see him float around the town in the Old school"  - Ammbaataa Black daddy slim and I (Ammbaataa) actually worked at the same establishment for years not knowing much about the other except for the things we were being hired to do at said establishment. Logistically, we were different areas of the location so it wasn't crazy that we hadn't really connected.  I'd see him float around the town in the Old school, I had a feeling he was an artist or a creative chiseling on some projects somewhere tucked away.

"Scorsese over Break Beats" - written by Ammbaataa Genovese is an MC who sets himself outside of the pack by world building using lyrics to paint detailed scenes and textured environments. You really can't go wrong with lines like "Bumpin' Sade in a White Beamer",  classic material that only gets better with time.

We've come to expect artists of every level to constantly put out music or face the fear of "falling off". From yearly releases from the biggest artists, to nearly monthly releases from underground favorites, we're clearly spoiled. In recent years we've started to see artists take longer to release, and with that comes projects that are well polished and incredibly personal. One such album is the latest release from Rapsody, Please Don't Cry. This follows her 2019 release, EVE. It's been five years...

DNA Album Spotlight by Shann Bajwa   Brother Ali & unJUST Bring The Love & Service Written by Shaan Bajwa The latest full length album from Brother Ali since his collaboration with Evidence, Secrets & Escapes in 2019, is Love & Service. This time he's teamed up with unJUST, which looking at it written out, feels like an equal opposite to the tape he did with Evidence, but not just in name. On that album, the tone was much more serious and almost ominous, whereas this time around, he's a bit more peaceful sounding. Not to say that Brother Ali is...
