Talib Kweli drops another conscious classic album "Radio Silence"

photos by talibkweli.com

This is how true hiphop feels... I remember rockin the walkman to Reflection Eternal on the train. With his latest release "Radio Silence" I hear a familiar voice of the struggle. Talib recently discussed the album on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah where he explained that he is proud of the fact that he has insulated himself from what is going on with the radio these days. With "Radio Silence" he is speaking directly to hiphop fans with standout tracks like "The Magic Hour", "Traveling Light ft. Anderson.Pak", "Knockturnal", and "Heads Up Eyes Open ft Rick Ross". Chance to hear new music like this nowadays is rare. True hiphop is refreshing! -Carl BFM Jones

“S3v3n” on SoundCloud:
www.soundcloud.com/trueballahs/sets/s3v3n

Are you a real believer in real street music? Well then Mansfield, Ohio rapper, Meaty, will be your new favorite artist! Today, our culture is filled with album releases that lack substance and just all sound the same. Then, you have students of hiphop’s golden era like Meaty.

Meaty is an Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran and a rising hiphop artist who has recently dropped a monster EP titled "S3v3n” that has something for everybody. Within just the 1st track you will understand why he is the truth! Intro track “Saucy” is a certified trap anthem. "One Shot" is that boombap hiphop song that tells a heartfelt story. “Get It On The Floor” is a hi-powered strip club anthem. “Bang” is a thugged out drill song.

Meaty's appeal is the substance that he provides to a dying game, his creative content, and the contemporary polish of his sharp delivery. It is very apparent that he has added so much value to this 7-track collection by simply giving us the real him... no gimmicks. All of these ingredients and more make "S3v3n” a must listen! -Carl "BFM" Jones

Papi Lotus sends powerful message with new video “D.A.R.E”

D.A.R.E or Drug Abuse Resistance Education is a program which originated back in the 80's to prevent the use of drugs. Today, rising alternative R&B artist/producer, Papi Lotus, addresses the drug abuse issue in a very unique way with his powerful new video titled “D.A.R.E”.

Papi Lotus and director, Luke Conway have created a dark and deteriorated world which serves as a metaphor for a tainted past relationship. The 1st thing you hear is soothing ominous distortion. Then all of a sudden you will be blown away by a botanical garden of audio and beautiful auto-tuned harmonies. However, you can feel the friction early as Papi Lotus sets the scene. He immediately addresses better things that he could be doing with his time rather than being with her. She is a drug and alcohol abuser who he seems to recognize less and less until she disappears completely. Papi Lotus has made a successful career for writing stories that captivate and educate. He says, “I feel like alot of my friends and people I knew, lost apart of themselves to drugs. I really wanted to put a song out there against drugs, kind of like an anti-drug campaign.”
