Azeem is back with one of the most original and hottest tracks that I've heard this year. Like I said before, I love how no matter what track he's on he's always himself. He doesn't try to emulate another persona and it's working great for him. He has a voice that you can instantly recognize and he uses it in a way that I don't think anyone is doing right now. The production is spot on and of course a verse from Carlos St. John can't hurt. This duo is starting to get very lethal. [...]
Hell, while I'm on the topic of Carlos St. John x Azeem collaborations here's the latest from Azeem with (yep you guess it) Carlos St. John on the feature. In the past Ive only heard Azeem as a feature, but to actually hear him as the main artist on the track I have a whole new view of the dude. His raspy voice is very unique. Like a Kevin Rudolph x Bruno Mars x Avery Storm kind of thing (my bad if any of these comparisons offend the artist. That's the best way I can describe [...]
Now that Im finished relaxing on my day off, its time to get to work. First up is a new track from Carlos St. John with the help of Azeem on the hook. Download: Carlos St. John feat. Azeem - "Here We Are" / Mediafire
Azeem and Carlos St. John are back in cahoots on a new track, this one titled "Hurricanes and Tornadoes". The bulk of what we've seen from Azeem to this point has come in the form of production work and supporting vocals for CSJ material. Then things changed with "All The Same 2 Me", where he demonstrated the ability to carry a song unassisted. He continues to show serious potential here, but instead of going solo decides to mix in a dash of St. John to get the flavor right. Take a taste below. [...]

Hit up the Facebook page to RSVP and all that. e-dubble e-dubble - Changed My Mind ______________________________ _ Gorilla Warfare Tactics Gorilla Warfare Tactics [...]
It's been a minute, but we've finally got some new Carlos St. John , with Azeem on the hook. I love hearing these two together. As artists, they're in different realms but somehow manage to capture the same intensity when they link up for a track. Some rappers spit half-assed. Some manage to make this seem like an effortless, smooth flow, but a lot of the time it just sounds lazy. You can tell that Carlos puts a little piece of himself into the delivery of every word, and Azeem matches that effort in the hook. [...]
Some new Carlos St. John to start your day right, I'm pretty sure that's Azeem on the hook who I just featured on TQF a couple days ago . If you haven't already, get familiar with Carlos St. John, one of my favorite up and coming rappers. Production by The Argonauts .

If you checked out my post on Carlos St. John then you may already have heard Azeem on a couple of tracks. Azeem definitely has a voice that I think can stand out on its own but also blend in with a variety of other influences and still sound great. At the same time, there was a St. John track that Azeem sort of took away from for me. His career is very young right now and he has potential. What I like about him is that he doesn't try to sound [...]
Drake sent me a text asking me if he could do anything to help out with TQF . I told him if he could just send a photo that I could use in a periodical post I'd be good. Shout out to Drizzy for the hook up. True story.. Its been a busy but great week. We finally got the first single from Kid Cudi's new band, a new pop single [...]
@CarlosStJohn's fourth visual installment to "...12 flights up. A Short Story" is "Good Morning, Forever" from the In Association mixtape presented by Carlos St John & The St John Portfolio.
@CarlosStJohn's the third installation to "...12 Flights Up, A Short Story." Carlos St John and The St John Portfolio presents "Ticker Tape Parade" . Inspired by music from the mixtape In Association .
Most rappers wait until their rapping career starts to plateau before getting into the acting thing. Not Carlos St. John . Still fresh off his In Association mixtape, Carlos is unveiling a short series of videos set to the music from the tape. Falling somewhere between music videos and short movies, the imagery fits the cinematic vibe of the music well. Check out the most recent one above and the first two below. More coming soon. The third installation to "...12 Flights Up, A Short Story." Carlos St John and [...]
@CarlosStJohn & The St John Portfolio presents "Hands" from the mixtape In Association
Follow me on Twitter . The St. John Portfolio was released a while back (August, September-ish) but I recently rediscovered how dope it was and still is. This brought my current attention to his latest offering In Association (released Christmas Day), which I download and then promptly neglected in the craziness that is the Christmas season. Quick introduction though: Carlos St. John is an artist hailing from Brooklyn and brings his burning desire for success to the mic. He owns and manages The St. John Portfolio, a company specializing in [...]
@CarlosStJohn & St John Portfolio present "...12 Flights Up, A Short Story." The multi-part vignette that follows Carlos St John. The first instillation which features "Lights in the Air" offers an initial view into the series' plot.
So basically i feel horrible. First, I'm hungover and need to heal before getting hammed again tonight. Second, I broke one of my good friend's computer last night... which i can hardly remember. Third, I HAVEN'T DONE A POOCH'S PROPS IN TOO LONG!!! Well here we go! For tonight, which i hope all you folks will enjoy without me, I'm going to give you a House Party Mixtape with some tunes from all genres (appropriate to drinking, of course) to cater to all of your picky friends. RAP/HIP-HOP Carlos St. John - [...]
