Nora Dean - Angie La La 2+ weeks since my last post? Ouch. I'm afraid it's the usual story of the day job chewing away at any time I might have to frolic atop Mount Parnassus, as it were. But I will be back... and in greater number. Anyroad, here's a little number that's apparently been a rare-groove underground classic of sorts since at least 1997 . I like that Nora sings in major while the band plays in minor. Oh, and is that Lynn Taitt on guitar?
Two-9 have quickly become a personal favorite at the moment with their latest visual for their track, " Scottie 2 Hottie ." This track has perhaps on of the hardest hitting beats I've heard in a cool minute put that together with lines that slap and you got yourself one tough tune. The concept for the video is simple as they chill in a backyard with a bunch of homies. Sometimes, videos like this one are the best because you see the real character of the artists in their element as they [...]

Atlanta newcomer Scotty linked with Prolyfic for "No Sticks, No Seeds," which will land on his new mixtape dropping in May. Pro goes too hard on those organs. More people should be utilizing the beast that is Prolyfic. Scotty was in Chicago over the weekend working with both Soundtrakk and Prolyfic, so expect more of this when his project impacts in May.

It's amazing what a little buzz and some cash in the account can do for people's perception of things. Scotty appears to be going through just that right now taking [...]
Just in time for some unseasonably warm weather's arrival on the east coast, ATL's own Scotty arrives with the perfect addition to a spring day. The Fiend and REi-featured track, [...]
In its essence, we have all Georgia everything for today's roundup. Leading the pack or should I say here comes Trouble doing what he does best, which is essentially pointing [...]
Aspiring rappers, want to capture listeners' attention? Don't over-think it: follow Scotty and SL Jones' lead. For instance, take their latest video for "Strap Up." The visuals are digestible-nothing more [...]
Scotty's a beast and he's not afraid to pound his chest to let people know. The Atlanta native enlists fellow Southerner DJ Burn One to lace a beat that lets [...]
Coming in at the 5 spot is a verse that is probably considered a surprise pick for some, considering not much is known about Freddie Gibbs . He made his presence known on Curren$y's Covert Coupe and if there was any doubt about him being a good lyricist, capable of dropping a great verse, this song erases that uncertainty. Although the content isn't food for thought worthy, his flow was top notch here on a dope beat by Alchemist. His opening bars of having "breakfast here, two titties, two blunts and a turkey bacon [...]
We here at Punknews consider the War on Christmas to be a 365 day a year undertaking. To further distract you from, "The reason for the season," we have best of lists from Scotty Sandwich ( The Sandwiches , Death To False Hope Records), Nate Gangelhoff ( Banner Pilot ), and Paul Koehler ( Silverstein ).

"I feel like a million bucks today, not that I got it/But my hobby is starting to show proof it make profit..." Mannnn, talk to 'em! Before you even start [...]

Every so often, a new artist will come around that I feel like has the potential and creativity to be successful in this oversaturated rap game. For those that don't know already, Scotty is a new artist that DJ Burn One introduced to the online community with his Summer Dreams mixtape which I highly recommend checking out. This new track will be featured on producer John Qwest's upcoming mixtape The Art of Rhyme w/ DJ Breakem Off. Download link after the jump! [...]
King Mez is a beneficent ruler, as evidenced by the jewels he drops while talkin' recording and Jordans on the self-produced track "Reign." His name may not get mentioned as [...]
MP3: Balam Acab- Oh, Why Balam Acab is a 20 year-old electronic producer from PA. His latest album Wander/Wonder on Tri-Angle Records is probably my favorite electronic record this year. Granted I am not an expert in electronic music or witches, I can say that if "Wander/Wonder" is under the witchouse umbrella, then it would be a really nice, mellow witch that gives you weed cookies and can invent jacuzzis out creeks. And not because eventually the witch is gonna feed you to a cauldron [...]
"Everybody gotta pay them bills, man I can't even flex/I got my struggles too, no gold chain round my neck (yet)..." Still haven't given Scotty's Summer Dreams a listen yet? [...]
Scotty - Sept. 23rd from Tamarcus Brown on Vimeo . Some brand Burn One the leader of a Country Rap Renaissance consumed primarily by those who never caught UGK on the first bounce. Maybe that's true. I suspect that people could care less who listened to what and when. People gravitate towards Burn One's beats because a baritone twang and Lee Dorsey funk will never fall out of style. It's for those who didn't merely like Outkast and Goodie because they were great at rapping. It's because they loved the welterweight sauna stomp of [...]
Bossalinis & Fooliyones 2 - Main Attractionz Take 1 f/ A$AP Rocky - Main Attractionz I wish more rappers did it like Main Attractionz. With each release the duo further refines their low-fi, atmospheric style and this latest album is their best work yet. It's a cohesive, different sounding album. This is cloud rap at it's finest, speaking of which... Waiting Here - Young L Young L is one of [...]
Being in good company can open doors that otherwise probably would have never been. Per the request of TSS extended family DJ Burn One came Scotty and his Summer Dreams mixtape. Seeing as how Burn could make someone like me sound good over one of his country rap tunes, him working with actual talent boded well for what Scotty had to offer. The tape itself is exactly what I was expecting prior to clicking play; a look into the life of a previously unknown artist from cozy vantage point of the proverbial passenger seat. [...]
Some things are naturally paired together. Peanut butter and jelly. Strippers and cocaine. Southern hip-hop and summertime. Atlanta representative Scott y has provided yet another point of evidence for the latter combo with his mixtape Summer Dreams , presented by DJ Burn One (one of the few DJs with a tag that won't make your ears bleed). Summer Dreams holds much of what makes Southern hip-hop so enjoyable, carrying a soothing vibe that is still sharp enough to hit you in the jaw at times, perfect for the car stereo or the backyard BBQ. The recent revival of Southern hip-hop [...]
