So if you haven't please check out the video for "chillin" in a previous post. and no disrespect to whoever wrote that post, cuz i aint even look, but this video is SO DC, aint nobody worried about Boston, the only reason it was even shot there was cuz of Lady GaGa, so please dont forget how BIG THIS IS for the city!!! but shouts to Boston too, cuz its all love! I believe the album drops this month too? I could be wrong. DONT BOOTLEG THE JOINT EITHER, I need everybody to buy a copy! DMV stand up!

A few of you might remember the interview I did for DTY with The Paxtons, well ladies & gents, they are back! Apparently these guys have been on their grind hard and just putting in mad work into their album which is coming out soon (of course I'll have the details on that for you when they become avaliable to me). But they did leave me with this for your listening enjoyment. I'm sure we've all heard the remixes and freestyles over this beat, but you know The Paxtons had to do their thing too!

Straight out of the DMV, a serious artist to be on the look out for. This is his second mixtape, but this joint actually plays way more like an album than anything else. If you compare the 2 pieces of work, you can literally hear the growth on his tracks. He has a lot of collabs with the DMV's best. A definite download for any true hip hop head. And the one thing I truly like about this mixtape is the fact that all of the tracks sound different. I hate when an artist gets a sound, and just sticks with it, like womp, you're boring me. I can definitely appreciate the variety he gives his listeners, and I like how he's not trying to be anybody but Lyriciss, you go boy!

DOWNLOAD NOW!

Lyriciss x URB

Now, as promised, I told you guys I'd bring you music from the DMV. Lyriciss was actually like the first (I guess we'll call them underground?) rapper from around the way I heard, and I was quite impressed, and then he proceeded to put me on with a lot of other artists' music, and now I pass it along to you! So he got into the next 1000 for URB for his song "The Blue Collar Chronicles" [you can listen below], NOW I KNOW ya'll remember Wale on the cover of that joint, and he needs our help to move up the ranks! AND, luckily for all of you who I already know are gonna be feeling him, he has a brand new mixtape coming out on my birthday! So of course Ima have that for you guys later. But yes, PLEASE listen and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote!
