I heard this next song about three weeks ago here, I dunno how I even came across it (oh I remember now, it was Akon's name on the credits that attracted me to the tuune lol) BUT its been on constant rotation since then! The tune's called 'Shawty' & its on that dude Shank's debut album titled 'King Kong'! What? You dunno who Shank is? You must know 'Julie'!?!? Well get your knowledge up is all I'm sayin lol! Lets jump right in... Production is courtesy Akon (KonVICT Music you already know) & Iloya of Starville Entertainment!!!
I aint gonna lie, this tune is straight FYRE!!! I'm excited from when I hear Akon go 'Konvict... Konvict' lol! Although he jus does the chorus, it's my favorite part of the song & the production? Its that kind that gets you off your seats in the club, in the crib, anywhere really lol!! & Shank handles his BIZ-I-NESS I must say (although that switch up in the 3rd verse? I dunno bout that though! You tell me whatchu think bout it!)
And I reached out to a few G.O.O.D people up @ Starville Ents & they hooked us with Shank's next single off the album. Apparently the video shoot for this comes up in 3 weeks! Its called 'Please Lord' & its produced by Dr. Frabz...
You know how you gotta have one deep track on your album these days? Well this one's it on KING KONG & its my favorite record... let's analyse this! LAS GIDI STAND UP!!!
From the heart of West Africa (YES I said IT! AND WHAT lol), we take a trip up to the heart of London... SOUF EAST baby!!! & From SE15, I bring to you Swift-Le & Bluzey, collectively known as FUTURE HISTORY! The self-proclaimed 'U.K's most innovative duo' hail from Peckham... I know what you're thinkin lol & we're not even gonna lie... Giggs & his SN1 collective have got the whole SOUTH LONDON MUSIC SCENE on lock-down so these guys have definitely got their work cut out for them! One thing we know though is, Swift & Blu are SOOO ready to stand UP & be counted amongst the contenders for the throne! Check this one out off of their latest mixtape 'How It Should Be Done! UK Cuts'... they sample Sway's 'Little Derek' on the track and its aptly called 'Next In Line'.
I dunno bout you lot but this is that feel good music right there!!! BIG shout outs to SHux on the original cut's production... his discography boasts production for Lupe Fiasco (Hi-Definition) & Alesha Dixon (Can I Begin) & Sway again (Saturday Night Hustle) to mention but a few, he's also been musical director for Lily Allen.
... And we've also got the Duo's (Swift-Le & Bluzey) 2008 underground smash, fire girl... Check it!!!
... OK LEt's hear it folks, what's your verdict on Swift & Bluzey???
SO... Sometime last year, when I heard Freshboy Entertainment was handling Teeto C'Mos' management, I had great hopes for the album, even greater hopes than I already had previously lol. You see me, I'm a Teeto fan from longtime, even before he was runner-up on the Channel O/Sprite Emcee Africa freestyle battle competition!!! Well his management sent me his first single a few days ago. It's called 'Oshamo' and it's produced by Tha Suspect and it's catchy as f**k lol! The chorus & hook will surely get you singing along even if you try hard NOT to, I literally catch myself goin 'ki lo de to fin be...'!!! The Beat on this is thumping & it's almost like Tha Suspect is saying 'I dare you NOT to bop your head and move your body to this' but you really jus can't help it, however (& its a relevant objection btw) the lyrics are... well lemme jus letchu listen...
I understand the idea behind the record still. It's the 'fun, humorous club banger' route, I get that but from the 'rapper extraordinaire' that is Mr. Crooked Letter himself??? ANyway you tell me whatchu think...
Teeto C'Mos is a lyrical BEAST which is why when I hear 'Oshamo', which is a good song 4 what it is, I jus feel there's suthin not quite there... SO I went diggin in the crates for some undaground C'Mos joints! If all you've heard from Teeto is 'Oshamo', then consider this a re-introduction & if you were ever in doubt of the kid's ability, well this is a re-awakening... check it!!! This one's called 'Back to School'
JHEEEZ!!! YES you can say that I told ya so!!! This next one is called '66 Bars' and its straight lyrical brilliance aswell...
Those two records were from his underground 12-track mixtape from 5 years ago (maybe 6)! There are tracks on there that are on PAR with any G.O.O.D stuff that's out NOW... All I'm saying is You sleep on Teeto C'Mos @ your own peril!!!
As always do tell us whatchu think about the music... Who're you're feeling? Who you're not??? Its your go...
Peace
