My initial reaction to hearing The Fly Girlz was mixed. At first I was confused to why this group, (whose rapping sounded a little immature,) even was. "Eh Yo, Girls- 'Yeah?' What's up Y'all?" was the first thing that belted throughout my speakers, and blatantly, I just wanted to laugh. But then, the beat to their single Born to Be Fly hit, and my reaction was immediately thrown out the window. The Fly Girlz are a group of spitters from New York City, ranging in the tween ages of twelve to fourteen. The group [...]
the fly girlz - "born 2 b fly" (stream only) Great track from a few 14-year old girls from Brooklyn. Sam Hillmer (of the band Z's ) put together a program where he works with city high school kids to help them record their own songs, featuring production by Nathan "Zebrablood" from Excepter . They have a limited 12" out now through True Panther Sounds , which you can buy here . The Fader has a great little documentary about the project here . I [...]
You should listen to the song and then come read this. I know for a fact you're a d-bag and you're not going to listen to me. I'm just saying if you had an ounce of soul you'd groove out to the track for a minute and then come back to read this after. Because I'm about to drop one of those "The More You Know" stars over your head. There is a project in New York. It has something to do with helping kids through music or something foolish like that. It's definitely got something to [...]
This is a highly recommended show. First of all, the venue is amazing. No, it's not the old Shea Stadium, it's a brand new venue in Brooklyn that offers an amazing service for artists and bands. They record all of the shows that happen there and mix them, so every band who plays has access to free live recording. And I know from first-hand experience that the guys who run it are very nice. A special operation, if you ask me. The fact that Marnie Stern is playing somewhere so small at this point in her [...]
At some point during the afternoon yesterday the weather turned from beautiful to bullshit. Of course, there was no way that we were going to be allowed to have a prolonged stretch of spring. Even before the rain you could feel the swamp trying to fight it's way up through the pavement. This is DC [...]
It's not too often inner-city tweens get full access to a bevy of independent producers, studio time, and their own album - but thanks to the efforts of Sam Hillmer and his program Representing NYC, these six Brooklyn middle-schoolers did just that. Paired with Nathan "ZEBRABLOOD" Corbin (of Excepter), the six girls wrote songs reflecting their [...]
Our friends at True Panther Sounds (home to Girls ) are set to release the debut from the Fly Girlz , a group of young female MCs -- ages 12 to 14 -- that attend Brownsville Middle School PS 284 in NYC. The group formed during a supplementary after-school arts program facilitated by the city. As the story goes, "the program began with 22 students...the Fly Girlz were the last 6 standing." Nathan Corbin of Excepter laced the tracks with some dirty, often sinister beats -- as one of the girls [...]
A few weeks ago we told you about Sam Hillmer's new side project , but now we're talking about the main project - Zs</b , that is. The trio has a new album hitting the streets June 23.
