FRONT 3 JFK

Pragmatic Theory & Rhythm22 proudly present JFK by Kal-L & Keor Meteor.

Off the back of Widespread Irregularity Keor teams up with Atlanta artist Kal-L to bring to you another classic underground release on Pragmatic Theory.

"The words of man has been the catalyst to ears throughout the world for centuries to communicate, bring knowledge and create change. Daily we speak to one another and overlook the importance and power of thoughts that are transferred to sounds to help one another. In my years of listening i have came to absorb the words from my forefathers of rap,philosophy,and pure intelligence. JFK has effected many people of his time and still till this day the words he have spoken has layed foundations to many of lives,and guided people on a positive path. I have teamed up with the" Great" Keor Meteor and Pragmatic Theory to show my dedication to a man that dedicated his life to helping others, and felt that this duo is example of unity for a great cause. Enjoy"- Kal-L

    Mello Music Group always comin through with the heat, and Ugly Heroes is no exception. Formed by MCs Verbal Kent, from Chicago, and Detroit’s Red Pill backed with production from fellow Detroit native Apollo Brown, their self-titled album has given the the success to which has lead them to announce a vinyl release! ‘Ugly Heroes‘ is a bonus track put out to celebrate the announcement – really and truly, a vinyl release is mega dope – and it features exactly what you’d want from the trio. Apollo Brown’s beat is mad soulful and is laced in equal measure by the delivery of the MCs, with the welcome edition of DJ Eclipse with the razor sharp scratches. Nice track.

    Freddie Gibbs shares this video, his latest single from the 'ESGN' (Evil Seeds Grow Naturally) project, due for release 9th July. “Eastside Moonwalker” is as we'd expect from Gangsta Gibbs a badass cut featuring a rowdy slapped up instrumental. The video is solid, too, thanks to some flashy special effects and Gibbs’ command of the camera. Bring da Ruckus ! ! !

    (Audio) Chaotik Stylz – “Poisonous” Featuring: Oh No & Roc C

    Chaotik Stylz - Subliminal Substance (rhythm22 picture archives)

    Check this guy...
    Chaotik Stylz spent the majority of his formative years shuttling back and forth between Buffalo, NY and Los Angeles, CA and did so by navigating between two different worlds; the suburbs of Buffalo and the inner-city of LA. “My upbringing was odd to say the least. I was primarily raised by my mother, who was an actress who later became a school teacher and when she passed away after a long-battle with Lupus it unleashed a monster inside of me. My father, left for Los Angeles when I was a kid, needless to say it created issues” states Chaotik.

    Chaotik started emceeing at the age of 16 with his crew in Buffalo and after his Mother passed away it lit a fire in him which propelled him to take his gift more seriously. After linking up with M.E.D., Chaotik was introduced to Oh No and thru the wizardy of technology received a beat-tape from Oh No that would inspire him to start crafting the material that would eventually become The Subliminal Substance LP. The initial recording stages of the project soon thereafter lead to Chaotik holing up at Oh No’s studio in Oxnard, CA “We worked the entire time I was there, all I did was choose beats and rhyme during that trip. However, as the process played out, most of the original beats I picked during those sessions were scrapped and new ones were selected. The time I spent out there changed me as an artist and started me on the path I’m currently now on” Chaotik laments.

    Since the completion of his LP, Chaotik has stepped into a new arena and begun on a path of sobriety, but 'The Subliminal Substance' is full of drug and alcoholic rage; pain of loss, mental issues and a “Chaotik” lifestyle. "The Subliminal Substance" centers on the idea that Hip-Hop music has become a highly addictive, yet dangerous drug which is ruining the spirit of its listeners; it has become a shadow of its former self and this is my ode to its glory days and hope that the art-form will return to its greatness.”
    The lp will be released 16th July on Brick Records.
