Before I get into this review, I’d like to share some info with you about a movement that Onehunnidt is a part of called BSK (Basik Art). It’s a clothing line created by his late brother, JJ, but still remains prominent through its custom painted shirts line headed by Onehunnidt & Picasso Chenier. The movement is about creating positive forms

DJ Ebonix was spinning some old school Hip Hop & a few cats were grooving. Finally the next act makes his way to the stage & it’s KAB Tha Don. KAB opened with his version of Biggie’s “Who

And God said, “Let there be Blue Magic!” Amen! Doughbeezy had us waiting for Blue Magic like Dr. Dre’s Detox. I am thankful that Beezy’s push back date was only a couple of days & not a decade. I am slightly disappointed that Doughbeezy chose not to title this tape Dro & Sweet Tea. I was first introduced to Doughbeezy

Well, that video was “Letter To My Son.” Standing in a closet shirtless with a microphone, Trip rapped his heart out to his son that he wanted to bond with but couldn’t due to
