Read more10 Things You Should Know About Aftermath Producer Focus… [Video]
You could probably describe Bernard “Focus…” Edwards, Jr. production sound as soulful tempura roll: spicy and layered with just enough crunch. The multi-instrumentalist has blessed tracks for The Game, Busta Rhymes, Marsha Ambrosius, Bishop Lamont and more. After spending six years working as an in-house producer for Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment, Focus took a hiatus in 2009 and returned after a few years. Most recently he worked on six tracks from Dre’s Compton album and released two instrumental albums, Analog In a Digital World (Part 1 and 2) in 2015. With the 1-year anniversary of Compton a few weeks away we wanted to take a moment to help the unfamiliar get acquainted with this un-sung musical genius.

Read moreDefiant III – Crossfire [Audio x Download]
There’s an intoxicating madness swirling with the grit and grime of “Crossfire,” the murderous new single from NYC rap crew Defiant III. It’s also the first we’re hearing off their upcoming LP, “Purge Season”. A big reason for that aforementioned madness is the production, which is handled Warryn Syde and group member IDE, who’s joined on the mic by Alucard, and Jise One, of the much-loved Arsonists. This won’t surprise anyone who’s followed the crew, because they’ve worked so well together previously. And while their former efforts have been just as punishing, it’s “Crossfire” that hits especially hard with bars you’ll want to revisit repeatedly to break them down. Easily translated to Genius this is not. And hey, if the rest of Purge Season is even half as good as this, it’ll most certainly earn its spot on year-end lists. “Crossfire” now available for stream and free download, while ‘Purge Season’ will be released this fall via Creative Juices Music through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

True to his style, Machine Gun Kelly delivers aggressive bars, over a heavy guitar riff throughout “Dopeman”.
