Video Drop: Sean Falyon – Running

N Middz — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:09:21 +0000

An ATL transplant by way of Philly, Sean Falyon has been keen to the independent grind for longer than most of today’s artists can withstand. Contrary to the beliefs of many major label minded cats, some individuals are capable of turning that flying solo mentality into a strength rather than a downfall. Although hailing from Philly, Falyon is less Broad Street Bully and more brotherly love. Carrying his brand alone, he’s been able to create both good music and establish himself as a strong player amongst the ranks of hip-hop’s rising talent. This is in part thanks to Sean being privy to the culture even before he began doing a tear of performances all over the nation, at which time he gained experience from creating the clothing line Soupy Jones.

Below is the reality revealing emcee’s latest video titled “Running” which features Scragg Lee on the hook. If you want to know more about the man who bares the twitter hashtag #SFBE (Sean Falyon Be Everywhere), then check out the recent interview he did with YRB TV here.

“The Cypher” w/ Termanology, Sha Stimuli, Ariez Onasis, TUGE, J The S, G-Eyez and Chief C

N Middz — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:17:46 +0000

A few days ago I posted the music video for “G Like Me”, the first single of off producer J. Cardim’s compilation project Dice Music Presents: The In Crowd (released in July). A bunch of lyrical street emcee’s made it out to the shoot, and when presented with time to kill, well you know they had to kill it with bars. @MrStarTUGE kicks off the rhyme sharing, followed by 6 other credible spitta’s. Before declaring the cypher adjourned, a final verse unexpectedly comes from J. Cardim’s manager. There’s nothing like a good old fashioned cypher filled with “oohs” and “aahs” to remind you of the essence of hip-hop.

If you haven’t heard about Pittsburgh’s latest spitta Mac Miller, well then you’re now in luck. Recently unleashed is his new project K.I.D.S. (Kickin Incredibly Dope Shit). Signed to Rostrum Records just this summer, Mac has solidified himself as the next up out of the steel city, following in the steps of his label mate Wiz Khalifa. If you’ve yet to catch his 4 part video series called “Day in the Life” which has led up to the mixtape, be sure to watch it (here).

Download: CosteLL – Not Another Mixtape

N Middz — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:38:15 +0000

Here at The Eargasm we have always prided ourselves first and foremost on providing our readers with the opportunity to discover new and unique artists. That being said, after you download Not Another Mixtape it’s likely that CosteLL will be added to that list of artists that make you glad you frequent our site.

The aformentioned mixtape is appropriately titled in both a definitive and clever fashion as the Queens wordsmith’s latest project is not just one more assortment of tracks to run through once and then dismiss for all time, as is the fate of so many mixtapes. At the same time the artist who slings poetic verses in true 90’s Queens fashion is making a statement that yes, he know’s you’re sick of all these damn mixtapes.

The freestyles that introduce the beginning portion of the project are undoubtedly full of creative, original and thought provoking rhymes and hard hitting beats. CosteLL presents a talent for both street anecdote’s on tracks like “B.M.F.” and food for thought on “I Need a Dollar.” Some other memorable cuts include his ode to tweets “Twitter Crush” and a tribute to the late king of pop titled “In God’s Hands.”

If you enjoy real hip-hop that’s reminiscent of a golden era of street dreams and storytelling but with a modern bounce, this is something you’ll want to hear. Grab Not Another Mixtape from the download link below and peep the tracklist after the jump.

YRB TV: Vado from YRB Magazine on Vimeo.

Apologies are in order for The Eargasm’s faithful readers, as we’ve been on somewhat of a hiatus as of late. As for myself I’ve been busy working with YRB Magazine here in New York City. I recently had the opportunity to interview a promising rotten apple rapper who goes by the name of Vado. His tracks are raw, he’s got the big star co-sign (Cam’ron) and having seen his live set I can tell you he knows how to get a venue jumpin’. Check out the interview to learn more about the hottest new Harlem MC in a minute.
