Read moreAlpha Faktion – Creative Control [Audio]
Underground rap trio Alpha Faktion have been hustling and building anticipation the past year for their next project, Creative Control. And today, all that hard work is clearly paying off with a banger of a lead single, “Creative Control,” produced by living rap legend Nottz. For the uninitiated, the proudly independent group is made up of rapper/producer Azwun, rapper Kraze, and DJ Enyoutee, who had previous success as solo acts. They opted to join forces, however, and have been killing it together ever since. That much is evident throughout “Creative Control,” a neck-breaking anthem for any artist taking their career into their own hands. Azwun and Kraze make their indie stance well-known throughout their verses, delivering bars like “I broke away from these chains/ man, these industry slaves/ They tried to manage, couldn’t handle the weight/ The wait’s over, motherf*cker/ Keep yo’ hands out the plate”; and “You look confused and I’m not surprised by the ignorance/ Force-feedin’ by hypocrites, team leaders, and simpletons.” “Creative Control” is a mission statement and one hell of a way to kick off the rollout for their upcoming album of the same name. In addition to Nottz, the project boasts collaborators such as Marley Marl, Marco Polo, Planet Asia, DJ Spinna, and more. The single is now available for both stream and download through all major digital retailers.

Read moreRhythm Roulette w/ Bink! [Video]
Those not keen on poring over production credits are the same who’ve been criminally sleeping on Bink. The Virginia native and GRAMMY-award winning producer has humbly scored a range of undeniable classic over the past 20 years, ranging from Blackstreet’s “Don’t Leave Me” (which he co-produced with Teddy Riley) to Kanye West’s “Devil in a New Dress” (which will forever stand as a testament to the undeniable G of Rick Ross). Then there’s his work on Jay Z’s seminal album The Blueprint, which warrants a whole ‘nother conversation. Suffice it to say, he’s earned his rightful place in the conversation of all-time greats. For the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette, we linked up with The Humble Monsta in Norfolk at The Groove Record Shop. Randomly selecting records from J Dilla’s old sample material and production, he ended up with Jan Hammer Group’s Melodies, Sly & The Family Stone’s Greatest Hits, and The Headhunters’ Survival of the Fittest. Ultimately, he ended up zoning out to “Here and Now” (understandably) and cooked up some ill shit suitable for a late ’90s early 2000s Hov.
