WHO? 281-330-8004




El Dorado Red is one of the next dudes to make some noise out in the yay, and im co-signing! In my few brief meetings/discussions with El Dawg-I have continually been impressed with how humble of a dude he really is. With Rick Rock backing him on the boards, i don't see anyway this kid can fail. With a current buzz and radio play on the left coast, his first single "El Dawg" is for sure a banger. Fresh off his new mixtape, El Dawg took to Shade 45 radio this week and let the world know hes here. Check it out. (Biggus to the Demolition men too!)

Go check out Tricksta over at Rago Mag--dudes are showing much love!

Contruction has officially begun on the follow up to Be South..be very afraid..lots of Lil Keke, Gucci Mayne, Young Jeezy, Bun B, --who wants to collabo?!?!

Speaking of collabos..Young Caps of The Stencil and Nick Catchdubs, not to be confused with Catchcrabs- are joining creative forces to cook up something fresh soon.

And finally, speaking of mixtapes--this kid Mike Nitty is angry!! Listen to him call out all mixtape DJs NOT playing him..dope way to market yourself.


Y'all know what time it is...

Holla' at a playa when you see me on the street,trick! Ahhhh




Let's keep it ATL today. A couple of years back JimCrow had a buzz with "Holla At A Playa." The buzz was so strong that they went from unsigned/indie to Interscope. The song featured Sean Paul from TheYoungbloodz and the video was creative and featured a ton of ATL celebs. If you are unfamiliar with the group peep this old interview.Unfortunately the group couldn’t capitalize off the song’s momentum. Music giant Interscope couldn’t find a second single that worked, and with that said the album was put on hold permanently. It’s a shame too because from what the sampler had to offer the album was going to be FIYAH. With the album shelved and label problems the group disbanded. Cutty one of the group members can be heard doing the hook on the recent Trillville hit “Some Cut.” He has done some other classic hooks most notably “85” for the Youngbloodz. To this day I wish I could get my hands on that album. I have been unsuccessful even though I have come across people who have the said shelved work. I did manage to get this banger with T.I. called Do It All.If anybody out there has the whole thing you know whatto do…HOLLA AT A PLAYA!
