SB - "Humble"

SB's back with a new project, #TheUpperHand, and recently dropped off this Andre Jackson-produced single. He says that he "took inspiration from personal experience and observation in describing what I feel is the right attitude to have in building a vision and achieving one's goals within a society that's become more obsessed with outward appearances, empty boasts, and self-glorification with very little substance to truly offer underneath the pomp and pageantry." Truer words...

SB "Happy Valentimez"

Always good to get that dope Hip-Hop from the homey Soulbrotha, especially when it's produced by AEON. They actually worked on an entire EP, 4letterword, which is set to drop on the 17th of February, which "tackles different kinds of love that we experience or come into contact with as human beings on a very broad and fundamental level in society... This single, Happy Valentimez deals with love as dealt with between lovers specifically a man and a woman in the context of the song. What better day to drop this than on February 14th the dreaded day of forget-me-nots, flowers, all-red-everything and chocolate?"

SoulBrotha "Hearbreache II (The Beginning)"

Here's another cut from SoulBrotha, produced by BroadNMarket, but this one did NOT appear on Southpaw. Nice familiar sample source, with SB pulling no punches and breaking down a vivid situation with his lyrics. Peep Part 1 then rock to this one.

Soulbrotha "Way of Love (Never out of Season)"

I said I was gonna drop the "Great Expectations" track a few weeks aback. Pardon my busy life. SB and BroadNMarket have cooked up some fly shit, and this "Way of Love" jawn is right up my alley. SB says he went through some trials and tribulations a few years back, and is creating music inspired by The XX, to help those in similar struggles to know that there's, essentially, a light at the end of the tunnel, a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and whatever other cliches help you cope. Realistically, you need to escape every now and again, and the themes SB flips help you pull from your own problems and hopefully find solutions through them. Over some bangin' beats, which is always nice. The Southpaw EP is on the way.

Soulbrotha & Rukus "Starbreaker"

Soulbrotha & Rukus "Starbreaker": Esbee and Ruk come back like they left something over a proper warning alarm/hammer banger track. The title isn’t just some kind of witty random word affixed to an MP3 – these two really dig into their views on what’s ailing the current state of the scene, in many facets. And they don’t mince words. And what’s better is their un-minced words fit along with what many of my peers feel. Soulbrotha says he has an untitled EP currently in production, while Rukus has the following up to his latest mixtape, The Hunger, on the horizon. 2011 just got a lot hotter, and more aggressive.

Rukus ft. SoulBrotha "Natalie Suliman Music"

Rukus ft. SoulBrotha "Natalie Suliman Music": Two of the finest Nigerian MCs today have flipped Rick Ross’ “Aston Martin Music” into a pretty interesting concept. Natalaie Suliman is a UK-born Sudanese model, and someone many males would aspire to get with. How do they think they can get in her good graces? By guapping up and giving her whatever riches she desires, by any means necessary. Thing is, most people feel that they make their own hustle, but the message here is that a lot of that is birthed from The Creator (no Pete Rock). Hit the jump for the SoulBrotha-sung chorus and it’s translation (he flips part of it in pidgin).

Rukus ft. Soulbrotha "NEPA (Light Up Freestyle)"

Rukus ft. Soulbrotha "NEPA (Light Up Freestyle)": New freestyle from two of Nigeria's nicest... words from SB: ""NEPA" now currently known as the Power Holding Company of Nigeria is basically the Nigerian National Electric Service provider and for decades has had issues with providing this basic service to the citizens of the country. This irresponsibility on the part of the Federal Government led to the recent twitter movement - #lightupnigeria. A cry by youth to bring to bear upon the government by showing the entire world the issues that having irregular power can do in terms of forestalling basic services in the country.

Think of having no power at all in your apartment, condo, house or whatever for an entire month - your food goes bad, you can't even iron clothes, no running water..on and on. Enter Rukus with a freestyle over Drake's "Light up" song, referencing this issue as well as highlighting his life's journey in comparison to this occurence. I in turn handle the hook duties..".

Rukus "Dream Deferred"

Rukus "Dream Deferred": From Ruk - "This is just what most aspiring rappers feel + my honest, personal struggles getting put to verse over Kanye's "Say You Will" (or Drake's "Say What's Real")". This cut is taken from The Hunger, Rukus' mixtape that will be dropped in two versions - a Nigerian/UK version that drops around the end of March 2010 that leans more to traditional Hip-Hop and afrobeat, and a US version that will be out in April and has more of a Hip-Hop/spoken word/R&B flavor to it. "Fashi Mi", the bonus cut below, is more of the Nigerian flavor... enjoy!

Rukus ft. Soulbrotha "Slow It Down"

Rukus ft. Soulbrotha "Slow It Down" (prod. by J. Slikk): I hate being kept in the dark, but its OK when my niggas are working on some heat. This is like the third Rukus/J. Slikk related track I've gotten passed, and if you guys are still sleepin'... why? Anyways, with all of the recent deaths and kids gone buckwild these days, we should all take heed and slow... it... down.

Soulbrotha "Ezek323"

Soulbrotha "Ezek323": It's always good to hear my homey SB throwing out some new tunes for the people, especially when its over some fire Mobb Deep instrumental madness. Sleep is definitely the cousin of death, so snooze if you want.

RUKUS ft. Naira & Soulbrotha "Diva (Remix)"

RUKUS ft. Naira & Soulbrotha "Diva (Remix)": Uh oh! Two of my favorite Nigerians help introduce the world to Naira, who blows the back out of this heatrock of an instrumental.

And I'm definiely still trying to figure out when a diva became the "female version of a hustler". That shit makes no kind of sense in life.

RUKUS & Soulbrotha "I'm Nigerian"

RUKUS & Soulbrotha "I'm Nigerian" (prod. by Kid Konnect): I think I heard an unmixed version of this a while ago; props to the Nigerians out there. RUK and SB flipped Weezy's "tougher than Nigerian hair" line and made it an anthem for Nigerian brothas and sistas out there. STAND UP!



Via The Beautiful Struggle.

Soulbrotha "Life Is Crazy"

Soulbrotha "Life Is Crazy" (prod. by AEON): One of my favorite MCs hooks up with one of my favorite producers to speak on real life. I'm in a contemplative mood myself, today, so this one is hitting me right. Props to them for linking up. Enjoy it, and be on the lookout for a forthcoming project from Soulbrotha, T.A.M. and RTD. More info on that in the very near future...
