Sonny Seeza – Everywhere [Audio]

“Everywhere” is a brassy, catchy new banger from Sonny Seeza, the Brooklyn hardcore Hip-Hop kingpin who is one of the original members of Onyx (formerly known as both Suavé and Sonsee). Since striking out on his own in 2009 with “Tytanium”, he’s been working on a follow-up LP, “Bridges”, that’s set to drop February 26th. That leaves us with plenty of time to keep “Everywhere” on full blast. Amid clever lyrical turns from Seeza, the track escalates into a pure slapper thanks to Switzerland’s, DJ Def Cut. With the horns sounding off behind him, Seeza’s bars are especially potent during the second verse. It’s brimming with questions aimed at listeners of all kinds, from those with gigantic egos (so big they can’t fit through a door), to those who may prefer one genre or another. And it all blends perfectly into the hook, which absolutely deserves to be heard in a live setting. “Bridges” will be available online wherever music can be streamed and purchased, through Empire Music.

Colonel Loud feat. The LOX & Rico Barrino – California (Remix) [Audio]

Last summer, North Carolina’s Colonel Loud earned himself a surprise hit with a single dedicated to the left coast: “California.” The original featured Young Dolph and Rico Barrino, and as it began to pick up steam, the track was remixed with an added verse from T.I. Here’s yet another remix from some non-Californians — as the slow-burning number has been hit with some brand new raps from Styles P, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch, aka The LOX. Who knew the gritty-rhyming veterans could lay smooth raps over this decidedly West Coast instrumental, which happens to come from Mr. Hanky, an ATL producer. The Yonkers emcees know how to encapsulate the most intriguing aspects of Cali — perhaps because the state serves as a welcoming locale from their tough New York winters.
