XO - The Color Grey (Mixtape) @beatsrymesblog hip hop

Grey is not a color that gets much attention. But that’s not how Diamond District’s gritty lyricist Uptown XO sees it. For the DC spitter, grey represents the convergence of two worlds: dark and light. On the anticipated mixtape The Color Grey, XO continues to combine the street and the conscious in a way that’s honest and relevant to today.

 

The tape, almost entirely produced byAB The Pro, is sonically consistent. Wether a tune about bittersweet summer nights, the popular “Good Vibes,” or a gutter track examining the injustice of the modern prison system, the fantastic “Petey Greene,” the songs knock. The drums crack and the bass lines rumble. Lyrically XO shines, often taking the mood of the music and fleshing it out into a coherent and persuasive song. Few MC’s could so effortlessly spit lines so explicitly political and seconds later detail servin’ in a manner so precise, you know it’s from experience. Hood with a purpose, gutter but not nihilistic, Uptown XO complicates what ground an MC can cover.

 

Like its namesake, XO’s tape creates something new out of opposites. Fans who prefer thought-provoking music instead of tunes to tune out to, The Color Grey is where it’s at. This is just an appetizer. The full course meal, Colour De Grey, will be served later this winter on Mello Music Group.

@alison_carney - "Hey There" @beatsrymesblog #soul #video

Produced by RoddyRod, "Hey There" remains one of the more soulful songs off the electro-charged concept album. Director JaBen Early put this video together with the help of cinematographer Ryan Richmond at the Hunted House in Washington, DC. The concept of the video is PARTY PARTY PARTY, but in an Alison Carney kind of way. That means there will be beautiful people, a comfortable setting, and LOTS of smiles. Traversing different social scenes and experiences we see Alison for who she truly is: a fun & flirty woman that can enjoy herself in a room full of people or by herself taking in simple beauty. DC is FULL of Tastemakers and Socialites so we thought we'd include a few to join in the fun (special thanks to Spinser Tracy, Akil Waite, Cheeky Sasso, DJ 2Tone Jones, Jayne Kennedi, Terrence Cunningham, Eugene Smith (of DC Life Magazine), RapperSK, , Billy Bradshaw (of PrepsterPunk), Tara Papanicolas (Stylist & Model), Bill Johnson (Designer), Kaira Johnson ( of Unapologetic)...just to name a few...and an extra special thanks to the band)

E.S.T THE POETRESS @BEATSRYMESBLOG UK STAND UP

EST is a conscious poet / rapper from London who values truth and positivity, writing ever since childhood she has recently started recording and performing her poetry (and music) not in pursuit of fame but because she has a lot to say and wants the world to hear it! Topics she touches on often are the power of knowledge and the perils of politricks...she is also shaving her hair for charity next month to make a stand against vanity and female fakeness (see www.justgiving.com/vanityEST)!! Her main inspirations are Lowkey, Genesis Elijah, Mic Righteous, Chino XL and Nas as well as poets like Anthony Anaxagorou and Dean Atta. After some time out of music EST was inspired to pick up the pen again by the creative energy of West London Hip Hop collective the Legionnaires and for that reason will always be a #LEGIONESS!
