Southside Chicago rapper Filthy Rich presents “Favorite Lil Thotty”, his new Serious Beats-produced single from Reservoir Dog, Rich’s forthcoming album also featuring production from Paris Bueller (watch the music video for “All I Want”) Hearontrackz, C-Sick, Ill Brown and Snapbackondatrack. Reservoir Dogs will be Filthy’s first album since he overcame end stage renal failure, which he was diagnosed with just before he released his 2013 album White Devil (DatPiff). 2015 saw the release of the music video for “Easter Sunday” (Youtube). Other releases include (DatPiff), The G.W.O.P. Chronicles (Spotify),Trappy Holidays and Tricks Or Beats. Rich says the new single is “based off a past relationship. Me and this girl fell for each other, but she had her problems, and we went through it. Eventually, I came out the other side of it, and I saw other people going through bogus relationships of there own so I thought it would make for a song that people could relate to.”
Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper/producer/visual artist Tekh Togo presents “Black Magik”, his self-produced single featuring Nitty Scott MC. Togo is preparing for the release of BlackWater, his album dropping next week featuring Mick Jenkins, Nitty Scott MC and Dougy Lo Hot as well as production from Mistro, Nixon and Seventh of AGO. One BlackWater single has already been released, “End Of The Rainbow” featuring Mick Jenkins (listen), as well as “More Crystals” (listen), and the music video for “Dressed To Kill” (watch). “I was working in the dark when I made this beat and began writing to it,” Tekh says. “I originally was going to make this a title track and call it ‘BlackWater’. I went almost everything black with the wordplay and was painting in the darkness. I thought Black Magik might be a dope name for the song too. I sent it over to Nitty as Black Magik, when she sent back a crazy verse casting spells and whatnot in full ritual mode I knew I had to leave it as Black Magik. I think balances out the song nice.”

The Rhythm Express OnesheetWhen I was music director and keyboardist for the Pointer Sisters in 1976, “Yes We Can Can” was one of the nightly show-stoppers. This is the Pointer Sisters early years – swinging the blues and bouncing the funk. “Yes We Can Can” was their first hit back in 1973 hitting number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100.
When I started thinking about a follow-up single to Selena and band’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain” I came across the original version of Allan Toussaint’s classic by Lee Dorsey released in 1970 by Polydor. I was struck by the message of unity and togetherness and the roots New Orleans rhythm and the timely nature and overall vibe and thought what a perfect feature for Gavin Hope.
Much of what was on the original reappears here in adaptation, a bit of embellishment and arranging tweaks. It’s another Rhythm Express track paying homage to the great rhythm & blues tradition of years gone by.
This was a rhythm section workout. Drummer Everton “Pablo” Paul, bassist Jesse “Dubmatix” King, guitarist Shane “Shakey J” Forrest and I meet every Wednesday night and record a track. Most are first or second takes. Shane also engineers. It’s a warm and cozy setting in Paul’s basement studio Side Door – the kind of comfort rarely found in larger studio environs.
The funk was easy to come by with all four of us deeply committed and fans of the back history. From my perspective, what brings authority to this track is Shane’s guitar work – from those chicken pickin’ underpinnings, a bit of slide to rhythmic chops. The horns featuring Chris Butcher trombone, Bobby Hsu tenor sax and Alexis Baro trumpet add that call and response pop. Gavin gets the right amount of soul and bounce in his lyrical delivery with Selena Evangeline doubles brilliantly as usual on background vocals.
It’s April – and for certain “Yes We Can Can” month.
Enjoy,
Bill King

Detroit hip hop producer Lord Jessiah (Black 7 Productions) has been hard at work developing the brand of Black 7 Productions along with Sun Tzu Cadre crafting his unique blend of soulful beats with hard core socially conscious hip-hop.
Having initially establishing himself within the production team of the Michigan based group and Wu-Affiliates Dezert Eez, Lord Jessiah is now poised to release his first full length studio album entitled “Grounds Of Detroit” (G.O.D.) March 2013.
Lord Jessiah boldly warns that this project is the opposite of current contemporary hip-hop that has taken over the airwaves, and promises to deliver the cutting edge hard core fundamental hip-hop that has been missing for over a decade.
The “Grounds Of Detroit” (G.O.D.) album presents a collage of their hometown (Detroit) which is illustrated through rugged beats and aggressive lyrics.
ALBUME FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Bronze Nazareth – Wu Elements Producer & MC
• Phillies Blunt – The Wisemen
• 5-Star – Dezert Eez
• MF911 & The Almighty Dreadnaughtz – Detroit Hip Hop Pioneers
PRODUCITON BY
• Black 7 Productions
• Ant Live
(Known for his production of the track Yolanda’s House on Wu Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah‘s album Big Doe Rehab released in 2007 via Def Jam/Universal.)
The album embodies the desolate infrastructure of Detroit’s inner city while providing the glimmer of hope and light from its citizens who strive for a better tomorrow. Though the G.O.D. project is one that has a nostalgic feel that can bring the listener back into the “Golden Era” of hip hop it also maintains a modern essence that allows it to fit in with the current musical climate.
