We get tons of request daily from artist requiting us to post their music, but it’s almost impossible for us to honor every request. The Inbox was created to showcase unknown artist and their music (great idea Kev!). The homie Psymun sent over a track he produced for a New York based rapper by the name of E-Fluent.
Hit the cut for the link to the track and come back and give some feedback to Psymun and E-Fluent.

The film will comprise of Jackson mentoring his team for the 50 shows, as well as him creating, developing, and ultimately staging the high-tech performances. The footage was filmed at The Forum and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to satisfy a high anticipated demand.
After the cut you’ll find three versions of the song the album version, orchestra version, and extended orchestra version. Props to Hetal Bhatt for the tracks.
Words straight from Michael’s Wikipedia page. Link after the cut.

Rasheed sent me these two tracks last week sometime. “Queen of the Ghetto” and “My Freedom” are a few years old, but they show Sheed’s social consciousness and remarkable story telling ability. Rasheed is working/finishing up three projects right now (I think): his debut album and two EP’s.
“My Freedom” is unmastered. Hit the cut for the link.

Houston legend K-Rino hit me up with lead single off his upcoming album Solitary Confinement called “I Got Stripes.” If you unfamiliar with K-Rino, he’s one of the premier lyricists in the game. The leader of the South Park Coalition, one of the largest crews in hip hop, K has been in the game since the late 80s. With 15+ albums, K-Rino is the epitome of longevity. He made a dream collab for many fans when he appeared on Scarface’s album Emeritus last year. Check out the new single after the jump and make sure to support the album when it drops.

We’ve featured Rasheed Chappell on the site a couple of times within the last few months [here]. I co-sign dude cause he is extremely talented and has something to say.
Well, he hooked up with the good folks at When Giants Meet to shoot this video as sort of an introduction or visual introduction to Rasheed. I’ll let them explain.
“The first video collaboration between WGM x Rasheed Chappell, Shot in Passaic, NJ. The idea started at the Hot Grill in Clifton in a meeting we had, and ended up in the APP Projects. We had a great time filming everything that day and hope that you all enjoy it.
This track talks about the start of a dream, how it is, and whats to come… which is going to be crazy for sure! “Life is what you make it, and that’s real,” true words to live by. RSG produced the track; and did everything he had to do PLUS more on this joint.
We would like to thank everyone included in making this song/video and promise to continue to bring you nothing but the best we can give you all.
Peace!”
Hit the cut for the video. Oh…Rasheed is still putting the finishing touches on his debut album Nostalgia and is working on an EP with one of our Nottinghamer beat makers.
