Read more“We are the epitome of ‘working class rap,’ so doing this has to take patience, saving, perseverance and hard work.” That’s the message of Tef Wesley, who with fellow DMV-based producer Grussle shares one of this year’s most cohesive, refreshing, and well-crafted projects so far. ‘Pens & Needles’ is just as blue-collar as it is gripping, and fans of rap will surely be singing its praises once they listen. The duo first met in 2009 and developed a close working relationship that eventually spawned the ten tracks heard on this album. Tef admits that handing over production duties to someone as talented as Grussle allowed him to concentrate on his rapping, which is evident across ‘Pens & Needles.’ He sounds inspired, hungry, and focused, while Grussle does his thing behind the boards. “I just aim to recreate and share that same energy that made me a fan of this music way back when,” he says, noting influences such as J Dilla, Madlib, The Alchemist, and other greats. You can hear that on brassy bangers like “We Taking Everything” and “Gametime,” both of which shake with horns, strings, and heavy drums. The latter is a real source of pride for the duo, too, as it was remixed for use by the Maryland Terrapins’ football and basketball teams. Elsewhere, Grussle gets grimy to match Tef’s raw raps on the single, “F.T.S.,” while the two blend nostalgia and soul on the insightful “Timeless.” There are also nods to the legendary Boogie Down Productions

Read more“The fact of the matter is, all of us just want better for our people. I am proud of ALL of us who want to take action. This is needed. I want us to argue, I want us to challenge each other’s thoughts and opinions so that we can find the REAL answer. Our passion, that fire that makes us challenge each other’s very essence is what THEY are afraid of! Our passion creates change. If me being wrong helps us discover that someone else is right , then I have never been more happy to be wrong because, we ALL win! Silence and inaction HAVE to be deemed unacceptable at this point. I challenge all the club promoters to use your promotion engines for your community!!! I challenge the youth to embrace this fervor as easily as we embrace negativity. I challenge the white celebrities who openly adopt our culture and profit from our communities to stand up for them. I challenge the violent to be peaceful and the peaceful to be violent. I challenge us to create new approaches to old problems. “Patience has its limits. Take it to far and it’s cowardice!” -George Jackson
