G-Side and Freddie Gibbs represent Huntsville, Alabama and Gary, Indiana respectively. Both cities are not known for hip-hop, though that’s quickly changing for Huntsville. In this regard, Oakland rapper Stevie Joe is slightly out of place. He was surprised to even appear on the song: i got a song wit..

Codie G of Slow Motion Soundz let this lush, laid back record go to celebrate reaching 500 followers on Twitter. G-Side’s One…The Cohesive Album drops January 11. Download: G-Side – Relaxin’ (ft. G Mane) (produced by R.Dot) via Steady Bloggin’ Here are some bonus beats from Slow Motion Soundz intern..
In stark contrast to the trance anthem Block Beattaz gave Jackie Chain, “Impossible” is a forlorn and dejected look at success from the perspective of an underground rapper. Given a versatile production outfit (Block Beattaz is one, not sure if there are more under the radar) and a ring of..
A dope flip of Ahmad Jamal’s “I Love Music” (Nas – “The World Is Yours”, Jeru Tha Damaja – “Me Or The Papes”, etc) complements nice verses from ST 2 Lettaz and Young Clova and fellow Alabaman Yelawolf. That last verse is nasty. Pockets went from itty bitty/to Diddy and..
My stomach hurts and my throat is on fire. I wish I could sit on the toilet and re-read all seven Harry Potter books, but I can’t do that right now. I’m a working man. Kind of. I have to put in some good hours so that they’ll hire..
Huntsville rap is iridescent, but gritty; starry-eyed, but grounded; and always heavy on bass. It’s pretty much the only hip-hop scene worth getting excited about today. Family Ties came out this week, a new mixtape from O’Third, themselves a subset of great rappers and producers behind Huntsville’s relatively bigger names. They’re..
As much as I love Slow Motion Soundz, I have to admit that their videos are usually unwatchable. The “How Far” video looks like a Windows 95 screensaver and “Inner Circle” was just uncomfortable on multiple levels. But they finally found the right visual approach with “Purple Onion,” which looks..
S.L.O. is yet another permutation of Huntsville, Alabama rappers. It consists of ST 2 Lettaz, Bentley, S.L.A.S.H., and Kristmas. They take their sweet time on “Purple Onion,” slowly flaunting their international fan base over a haze of electric guitars. It’s almost a cliche to say it anymore, but HSV has..
Pitchfork Music Festival (July 15-17, 2011) is one of the things I look forward to every summer and this time around Metal Lungies gets to do it right. If you haven’t heard of Pitchfork, it’s a smaller (and more reasonably priced) music festival located in Chicago’s Grant Park that..
On April Fool’s Day, we got DJ Burn One to remix Will Smith’s “Men in Black.” We thought it would be funny, but Burn reworked a cheesy childhood memory into a sleek after hours cruise. We knew we were onto something. Hence Remix Lungies, ML’s own remix series, where take..
