Brian Breach feat. Chris Rivers – Breakfast [Video]

If you can learn one thing from Florida rapper Brian Breach’s cinematic new video for “Breakfast,” it’s that you should never, ever be disrespectful to folks in the service industry. You never know who’s paying attention, or what they might to do you if you decide to act like an asshat. The track itself, which stems from Breach’s new ‘Matter of Fact’ album, is a pure and raw display of technical prowess. The rapper and his guest, NYC spitter Chris Rivers, rip apart the Makemdef instrumental with crazy internal rhymes and wordplay. Both of those qualities made their way into Breach’s track-closing verse, which boasts rhymes that may have served as the inspiration for the Gusto Gold Productions video: “Me and Rivers will breach anybody that come/ This ain’t a hobby, we’ll body anybody for fun.” Now, that’s not to say the two didn’t have a reason to assault the guy in this video—again, dude was disrespectful to the waitstaff—but he also probably didn’t know what he was getting into. Gusto Gold Productions run with the concept of Breach and Rivers being lyrical (and literal) bruisers, and it falls in line with equally fresh visuals they’ve done for Meyhem Lauren and Mr. MFN eXquire. Check out the visuals for “Breakfast,” and then show your support for ‘Matter of Fact,’ which is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

Zaytoven: “Future’s ‘Beastmode 16’ Is Done, Gucci & Future Working Quickly” [Video]

Between working with Gucci Mane and Future, producer Zaytoven explains the difference between the two stars’ sound and why the What a Time to Be Alive rapper likes to release back-to-back projects. During an interview with DJ Vlad, Zaytoven compared his working relationship with Gucci to the likes of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. “We created a sound that belongs in the rap game right now. What we have together is something unbreakable, like a Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. We have created something so special that I don’t think it’s going anywhere.” Further, the producer talked about Future creating his orchestrated sound and why he chose to feed fans with new records continuously. “Just us two alone have done 100 songs. It’s cool to let all that music sit there on the hard drive…but I think the fans now have ADD. One project you gave us last month, that ain’t enough.” With critics claiming the rapper may burn himself out by oversaturating the market with his music, Zaytoven explains the strategy these days is necessary to stay relevant. “The way to stay on fire is to keep giving, keep feeding these folks.” He said, “Or you can cool off and somebody else can come in and really kind of take the spots.”
