Phella: Sweatpants in the Club

This kid is going places. With a tenative release date of October 2008, Phella aka Famous Firm talent scout for the DMV area is dropping a mixtape, highlighting his lyrical genius. This isn't for the music consumer who wants to hear about bitches, hoes, rims, and drugs, Phella actually has something to say.

Big shoutouts to Articulate and his squad for coming through. Be on the lookout for my review of "Slave for This Dollar", Articulate's EP.

Dead Prez in Denver at DNC Rally

For those who may not know who Dead Prez is, allow me to introduce them. This is a group out of NY who has been delivering truth in lyrics for YEARS. No, they don't get a ton of radio play, nor are they on BET aka Bullsh*tting Everyone Terribly, but they are intelligent, articulate, stylish emcees with a message. Advance your mental and listen to the lyrics. Turn my normal playlist at the bottom off and learn something.

Articulate & Phella: "Oh Really"

"These dudes you brought up here....they are like....Kick, Push." That was what 1 of the promoters told me about Articulate and Phella of the Famous Firm, regarding there performance. In a galaxy ruled by hip hop based on money, hoes, and clothes, these 2 emerged victorious in a market that isn't used to conscious rap outside the Legendary Roots crew out of Philadelphia. Insert "Oh Really".....OH NO RAP WITH COMMON SENSE!!!! What about the rap about rims, cars we don't have and can't afford, and a lifestyle that is exaggerated for ratings? Here is the answer:



"Nasir, do you have a copy of the guy Phella's cd, because my son has been singing this song all day."

"What song homie?"

"Something like, "It's Phella Day, imma Celebrate!"

The interesting thing is, my friends son is only 4."

Phella Day is at the 6:05 Mark.




Famous Firm, Articulate, and Custom Motorsports. All love.
