J NiCS ft. Aleon Craft "Wired Up"
Southern Niggas Ain't Slow is one of my favorite project titles. I love when niggas take stereotypes and truly flip it, but still keep it dope and not on some preachy shit. J NiCS is that dude (shouts to Numonics for putting me onto dude), and I've been fucking with Aleon Craft for a minute, so to have the two of them linking up over this big body beat? Makes me wish I had a cup of something at the job and could, you know, dance on my desk and shit. Get wired up. Southern Niggas Ain't Slow: The Product drops on April 23rd. Ain't that cover art ill?!

Ray Dawn - #PassportDreams
Before he takes off to SXSW this year, he drops #PassportDreams, with beats from the likes of SMKA, The Jake and Ohini Jonez. I'm quite partial to Jake's tracks on here, but the nigga Ray Dawn merks everything on this. Great to see a cat you believe in do what you knew he could. And he is FAR from done!DOWNLOAD Ray Dawn - #PassportDreams
Ray Dawn "Fill Banks"
With word reaching earlier this year that my boy Ray Dawn will be touching down at SXSW this year, this is some celebratory shit right here. Powered by an awesome SMKA-produced cut, Ray lays it all on the table with "Fill Banks", the firsw leak from #PassportDreams, which will be dropping around the end of February. Just awesome, anthemic sounding shit. My boy The Jake is also on the EP. Word on more when I get the OK, slowpokes.DOWNLOAD Ray Dawn "Fill Banks" (prod. by SMKA)
Jon Connor "Money Comes Fast"
Jon Connor "Money Comes Fast" (prod. by SMKA): This shit seems so easy to Jon. He's got the wit all throughout his lines, but can switch it up to some more straight forward bars in an instant. I don't think I've heard him kick it to beats this slow, but SMKA cooked up a bass-driven slapper and Jon dismantles it. This cut is taken from SMKA's The Report EP, which partnered up with DJ Booth to release. Chase success, nigga!Aleon Craft Mothership Decatur
In my infinite wisdom, I try to send out feelers for cats to get down on certain things. I don’t know if it’s my approach, or niggas just not being interested, but I can’t get a lot of shit up off the ground. Nappy did a refix of Aleon Craft’s “Donkey Kong”, which I’m not even sure has been properly released. I wanted to see if Aleon would be down for an EP ala the From Mississippi To Mars project, but SMKA told me homey was busy. Welcome to the ship that caused my plans to be shifted. Craft’s been grinding heavy in the studio, and this mixtape is the last freebie you’ll see from that work before his album, Solar-Hop Chronicles, touches down. Obviously dude has a fondness for spaced-out shit, and in an Outkast/P-Funk kind of way, he blends that into his cipher. Capable producers like SMKA allow him to realize the visions he sees while peering into his telescope, and all you need to do is fire up a sack of that good and beam yourself up. You’ll definitely enjoy the funked out star trip, trust.DOWNLOAD Aleon Craft Mothership Decatur
Donny Goines ft. Bobby Creekwater & Mikkey Halsted "For The People"
Donny Goines ft. Bobby Creekwater & Mikkey Halsted "For The People" (prod. by SMKA): I almost feel like this track should’ve dropped in February for Black History Month, but each month should be dedicated to representing and remembering where we came from. This is another jawn from SMKA’s The 808 Experiment, Vol. 3, which drops on the 26th of April, and features a shitload of MCs – check that artwork above to get a glimpse of the talent SMKA has sorted out. Hell, he got three heavy hitters on one track right now! 40 artists, quality Hip-Hop. You need that.Aleon Craft ft. Backbone "Ghetto Dope"
Aleon Craft ft. Backbone "Ghetto Dope" (prod. by SMKA): The vibe between SMKA and Craft must be awesome to see creating music. There’s no need for a corny intro or some theatrics – Aleon comes on the 1 and flies into that fuzzy bass, gats blazin’. Something hot to shake this random winter chill out of the air. Just a fly track to wake the hood up with, so when the slowpokes peek out their window, they’ll see you, dutch in hand, blowing good in the air, posted on the side of your whip. Or, since this drops on Mothership Decatur, you’ll probably be posted on the side of your UFO (sitting on 20s). That DJ Smallz-hosted tape drops early April, so make sure you’ve got your flux capacitor fixed for the impending trip.Chrysis ft. Toussaint "The Game"
Chrysis ft. Toussaint "The Game" (prod. by SMKA): New (to me) artist Chrysis recently put out his Underground Crown EP, and sent along this quiet storm thumper, produced by the mighty SMKA. This is one of those tracks for niggas who want to roam, and might be caught up in some new-new, but realize that they have some good-good at home and actually dip out. You know, the story niggas usually give their chicks on Maury. Right after they say “it was a accident” or “it’s temptation, bae”. You know, them nigras.Rhymageddon
