You’ve heard the leaks, now here’s the final project from MaG and G.C.… $5 Cover. This project has been in the works for sometime and I am proud to be able to offer it today as a free download via my label, HiPNOTT Records.
$5 Cover plays like a show, as the New York emcee MaG gives us the performance of his life over some of G.C.’s finest beats. Add in a special feature from Zack Berkman (of P. Diddy’s Starmaker fam) and you have $5 Cover.
Hit the jump to preview and download via HiPNOTT Records’ new Bandcamp page…

Can’t wait to hear this.
dope!!!!
man, that’s a good a** listen right there!! front to back, top to bottom…music with a purpose…solid production. MaG & G.C….ya’ll did that!!!
picket fences and look ma are real loco querico..
very good job on the production..
as far as mcing goes.. i sens a lot of jay influence a lot of time..
(seems like deez days flows are divided into either jay, drake, rick ross or jeezy..)
side from that.. good project on fist listen..could be classic later (if i get over the way to familiar flow)
I appreciate it Grady! That’s interesting, I actually see a comparison to Lupe on a lot of tracks, particularly on “Picket Fences”, for instance:
VERSE 1 -
Rap books filled with rhymes and old hooks, I can paint pictures, Picasso with the pen with the ink for the image, the lyrics that I use are like literary hues…
I can’t really say he’s exactly like anyone though, he’s got a really distinct rhyme scheme and voice. Thanks for the love and the input fam!
Good looks G! and grady man hope its a classic to you too soon enuff homey…def appreciate the feedback
Heard it 3 times already today, with far more listens to come… I love the percussion. I’m all about ‘Rich And Famous’, I think.
Oh, and I think I need to step my production game up too!!
FO REAL i had that same feelin..i was depressed all day ..like damn i really got step my shit up that much?…F*** u G.C. ..now i gotta bump this this whole week n try to find something bad about it, to feel better about myself….i usually drop by here to boost my self esteem up…big up
LOL Grady! Thanks to the both of you, it’s all about building you know?
Thanks to everyone for the love and the comments, I ask all of you to keep spreading the word, tweet it, FB it, get it out there! We’ve got some pretty big placements in the works, so thanks again everyone! One love!
