Philadelphia based rapper Tayyib Ali teamed up with Malibu beach based singer / producer Cisco Adler for blend of chilled out summer styled hip-hop with their new One Way EP . The chemistry between Tayyib’s rapping and Cisco’s singing works well reminding me of Cisco’s past famous collaboration alongside Malibu rapper Shwayze.

We have been given the exclusive limited 48 hours “leaked download” of the entire EP before it [...]

A girlfriend of mine originally introduced me to Tayyib Ali back with his track California Love over a year ago. Since then I've been following the rapper's progression and I'm happy to say that his skills and flow are only getting better with time. This young Pennsylvania native's newest mixtape, Keystone State of Mind 2, is a lyrical trip through the rapper's growth in the industry and the experiences a young successful rapper has to go through. Even though I've been a fan of Tayyib for a while now I still feel this is only the beginning for the man, [...]
A great track off of Tayyib Ali's new album, Keystone State Of Mind. The whole time I was listening to this song, especially the chorus, all I could think about was Kid Cudi's song 'Up Up and Away'. This is no bad thing, since that is one of my favourite Cudi songs ever. Anyway, great, uplifting track [...]

Philly natives sticking together on this track and it never sounded so good. Tayyib Ali is a young emcee who's rise has been impressive to watch considering he can't even get into bars to legally drink yet. But, Ali' s steam died off a bit, (although I figured it was because he was working on new music) and alas, here we have a song called "Stuntin" featuring fellow Philly bred Gilbere Forte . Together these two rhyme and flow nicely over a smooth beat. Ali' s new tape, Keystone State of Mind 2 [...]
