Viktor Rasiia | Get Right | Official Music Video

Hailing from Maryland, Viktor Rasiia is a passionate, charismatic hip hop artist with a unique approach to creating music. V's sound falls nicely between the scales of ratchet and righteous and lyrically he balances these two extremes effortlessly. After spending over a decade perfecting his craft Viktor is poised to take the rap world by storm. In April he dropped "The Viktor Rasiia Show", a mixtape which showcased his versatilty as an emcee.

In July Viktor dropped a two song tribute to Biggie and Pac. Less then three months later Vik is back with "The Legend of Natty Bohnz". An Ep inspired by the golden Age of Hip Hop. Viktor knows you have to work hard to make your dream come true. With his recent list of projects he is doing just that and in the process carving out a space for himself amongst Hip Hops elite emcees.

Broken City Poets | Short Documentary



If a city becomes a ghost town, what happens to its youth?

"Broken City Poets” is a documentary that chronicles the lives of four high school students who are challenged to use poetry and journalism to make sense of their bankrupt, gang-ridden city.



The Center for Investigative Reporting and Youth Speaks, a San Francisco-based literary nonprofit hosted a series of poetry workshops in Stockton, California, in 2013. With nearly 300,000 residents, Stockton was the first large American city to file for bankruptcy and at one time was the nation’s foreclosure capital.

The students’ deadline for finishing their poems coincides with a citywide slam poetry competition whose winners will go on to compete in a national contest. During this journey, the students learn that language is a means of personal redemption, as well as a tool for social change.

MC Jin and Phene | 2014 Doomsday Cypher



I wake up for moments like these, been in this culture for 2 decades in a half. MC Jin blessed us. I say us because everyone is a part of this. He made it clear before he spit, he said us collectively. These rhymes are uplifting and on the spot energy was documented. Phene set the tone with his energy and ended with a high note on saying "I'm Reggie in the clutch, you reggie in a dutch, they should of never left me off the bus." Then Jin's words even before he said his part. His development as a soul amazes me... Now I'm just rambling...Fuk it I'm a watch it again...Salute

Hex One & 5th Element | Hologramz | Full Album Listen





Another benchmark for Hip-Hop duo Epidemic's Hex One, Hologramz pairs the hungry MC with an old friend, Mic Theory affiliate, and equally voracious producer: 5th Element. With the two not having worked on any new material together since 5th and Epidemic's debut album Illin' Spree back in 2011, this project aims to recapture the essence that first brought them together 3 years ago. It features production that predates their debut album with some beats from as far back as '06-07, as well as some fresh new bangers from 2014.

The album is very feature heavy with guest appearances on 8 of its 11 tracks including MC's such as Ruste Juxx, Planet Asia, Prince Po and of course Tek-nition as well as many others. The majority of the songs consist of the signature sound this MC/producer team in known for: lyrical murder, however many of them also have concept based themes and a good chunk of the album deals with real life issues such as greedy backstabbing friends and the struggle to make it through rough times.

Tracks such as "Fire" featuring Tek-nition and Planet Asia for example, have the three MC's referencing different forms of fire as they tear the beat to shreds. Others like "Speeding" featuring Prince Po and Awon, use cars and the road as a metaphor for some of the hardships many of us go through in life. "Deep Cover '14" is a tribute and remake of Big Pun's "Twinz" track, with Hex recreating the same rhyme schemes using all different words, while "Rare Form" featuring Reks, MindsOne, Ty-One and Teknition, offers a track full of no-nonsense straightforward spitting. Hologramz has a run time of a little bit over 40 minutes, so it's short enough to keep your attention throughout, yet long enough to be a substantial listen. via UGHH

About uMaNg & B.B.Z. Darney and "The Black Rose Certificate":

With two full-length albums already under their belts that garnered them buzz in the underground ("Lasting Impressions" & "The Revisited"), New Jersey originated emcee uMaNg, reunites with Swedish producer B.B.Z. Darney ("The Boom Bappin' Zombie"), to complete their trilogy of albums with their label debut on Ill Adrenaline Records entitled, "The Black Rose Certificate."

Shortly after inking a deal with the label, the next eight months would find uMaNg & B.B.Z. embarking on a musical journey that would result in their most personal & brutally honest record to date. The title "The Black Rose Certificate", while a representation of many a symbolism, reflects the duo's state of mind, the hand they've been dealt as typecasts in society. Since being impossible to produce a "black rose" also stands for purest devotion. A kind of devotion that uMaNg & B.B.Z. put forth in their respected crafts.

Over the course of 14 tracks, the duo sonically stick to their traditional "boom-bap" roots, whilst also bringing sounds that range from "darker" to "aggressive", to even more "melancholic". The production B.B.Z. Darney showcases is heavier, more conceptual than previous releases. uMaNg has been notable throughout his career for being a clever & witty, punchline heavy emcee. While staying true to his stylings on the mic, he gets deeper & more transparent than past albums have suggested. For every braggadocious track, there is another where the Jersey emcee bares his soul through the pen, opening up about past discretions, family HIStory, amongst other topics on the emcee's mind. Also unlike "Lasting Impressions" & "The Revisited", that found the duo being the lone contributors to their works alongside the legendary DJ Grazzhoppa, they now bring along with them close collaborators as well as in-label artists. The album features tracks from the likes of Brick City veteran and close Artifacts affiliate Beneficence, Purpose of the Tragic Allies camp, close friends HexOne & Tek-nition of the critically acclaimed duo Epidemic, and Hashfinger to lend their talents and further enhance the album's disposition.
