Fresh | @Nothin2Much – “Retros & XOs 2”
Your Air Jordans have arrived.
“As the second installment to Fresh’s signature mixtape series, “Retros & XO’s 2” (RXOs2) feels like window blinds creeping open on a Saturday morning when your mom used to have the vacuum surging in the living room. Fresh’ lyrics inscribed in a concept based on all retro instrumentals across all genres sends messages in a time machine. Shoutout to that element provided by DJ R&R. From ’93 Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” to ’01 Jadakiss’ “We Gone Make It”, RXOs2 shows Fresh in a pursuit to embody an old school vibe with scripts across the spectrum. The first in the series, Retros & XOs was released in February of 2014 and is available here.”
Stream and download “Retros & XOs 2” now on Audio Mack. Fresh reels you in with the Erykah Badu laced track entitled “This For Them”. Enjoy!
The Cabinet – “The Hard Way” – (Official Video) (Titan Administration Records)
Two questions: Where have I been? Where has this crew of versatile emcees been hiding? Hailing from Minnesota, either way I am glad The Cabinet (Midway Felix, Try Bishop,Mastermind, The Lioness, Kaleem, Mic Titan, and Just Jayy) found their way to The Greener Side of Hip Hop. Released in 2013 here is their video for “The Hard Way”. Enjoy!

Now They Know: “The Truth” – (Official Video) by SateLight | @SateLightKool
“I enjoy the imagination of what if.” – SateLight
When visuals are actually “visuals” then in my opinion this is what it should look like…
SateLight’s video for his synth laced track “The Truth” reminds me of waking up in the middle of the night in the 80s and some random movie is on Cinemax entitled “Brother From Another Planet” starring Joe Morton. You end up staying up to watch the movie until 2 hours before work starts and soon realize that what you are watching is something that is pretty damn dope! Enjoy!

“100 ROUND CLIP” – ED E. RUGER | @Ed_E_Ruger (prod. by EOM)
Remember this situation: You heard Audio Two’s “Top Billin'” for the very first time? Yep, this track from Ed E Ruget definitely gives you that ahhh shit moment. Read more from his PR folks…
“North Carolina’s OG, Ed E. Ruger is back with the 1st official video from the Guerilla Grind album, “100 Round Clip” produced by EOM. Theres a few dope cameos from Wax, EOM and Iconoclast Crew in here also! EOM has produced for WAX, Dumbfoundead, Chamillionaire & many more. Ruger’s music can be heard on Breaking Bad, The Boondocks, songs with Bun B, Rittz, Wax, Sadat X, Stat Quo,etc. So, to say this track is raw would be an understatement.”
Caution: This video is NOT 100 rounds of violence – remember you on “the greener side of hip hop”. Enjoy!
“In Due Time” (Prod. DHurl!) by (J)Rowdy | @JRowdy
From J Rowdy’s PR Department:
“After two years of battling with depression thanks to family, friends, and the No9to5 Music collective hip hop, artist (J) Rowdy is back with his latest single “In Due Time”. Though not the lyrical hard hitting bars that you are use to when you see him on stage, Rowdy has decided to begin this journey back into releasing music with a single that he feels has a message that needs to be heard, and had been following him for quite sometime during his journey in NYC: Never make a permanent choice on a momentary situation, and understand that everything will work out IN DUE TIME. Mixed by JSWISS, with artwork from our good friend SkyBlew (Photo taken by Kiersten Koenig).”
Coming out of the darkness does not have to be dark. Listen to “Due Time” now on SoundCloud and celebrate the light.
