Tiye Phoenix - 48 Bars of Progression

The only female and 1 fourth of the Polyrhythm Addicts, Tiye Phoenix is representing for the lyrical ladies in hip hop. Her Kevin Nottingham exclusive "48 Bars of Progress" produced by herself and Audible Doctor touches briefly on her Nicky Minaj comment recently stated in the BET documentary “My Mic Sounds Nice”, but more so is an attack on the industry for keeping the truly gifted out the game and leading the public to believe that's there's only 1 female running things. Tiye goes in and doesn't apologize for anything said. Keep blazing Tiye! Real recognize Real!

Phil Ade - The Letter (Video)

New to me is the lyrical vibe set loose from DMV emcee, Phil Ade. Phil has earned the distinction of being the first artist signed to Raheem DeVaughn’s DC-based independent label, 368 Music Group. What I personally like about dude is his connection with words and his ability to apply them vividly. He's most certainly inspired by the "Golden Era" of hip-hop and that's a major for heads such as myself that love the music that came out then. He'll be dropping his 2nd mixtape, The Letter  on July 6th, so make sure to check it out when it drops via Okayplayer. Peep the remix to his "Hollywood" single below & get his 09 mixtape, Starting on JV here.  Props to BLS .

Stalley & Ski Beatz - Harsh Ave

Massollin, Ohio native now Brooklyn, NY resident, Stalley returns after his dope collabo with The Cool Kids on We Can Do It Big with a taste of a joint from his forthcoming debut album. "Harsh Ave" places Stalley back in his east coast hometown painting realistic visuals of the neighborhood where he grew up. Ski Beatz supplies a venomous horn and drum kick to highlight the lyrical smash Stalley delivers. If you're not familiar with Stalley, get familiar beginning with his 2009 mixtape - MadStalley The Autobiography. Kid is nice! Kind of reminds me of Cormega with the flow, but make no mistakes, Stalley holds his own. More to come from the man.
