Read moreRawkus Records will always be an eternal monument in the minds of Hip-Hop heads. Whether you wore out your copy of Soundbombing or had some connection to the inspirational NY label, it’s no surprise that many of their artists are still going strong today. But while the company was making ground breaking music and defying the odds, Archie Bang was busy learning from the best through his internship with Rawkus while in High School. What follows on the freestyle for “Fortified Live” is a trip down memory lane, as the Brooklyn spitter recalls his days “stacking up records, CD’s cassettes and soaking up game” from his superiors over Hi-Tek classic instrumental. Pick up Never Say Die Vol 1 (80’s Babies) and relive those classic Hip-Hop feelings.
Read moreAsk any Hip-Hop head in the game and they’ll tell you the sounds of the South are inescapable. Whether you pray to the late Pimp C, or DJ Screw on a daily basis, or you just feel like getting turnt up, the blend of hi hats and trumpets has made it’s mark on Hip-Hop production, even spilling over into other genres. Pooling in the West Coast’s Glasses Malone, alongside Brooklyn’s Archie Bang, the Drumma Boy produced “Bust Guns” is one of the previously featured stand outs off J-Haze’s Population Control LP. “Bust Guns” is now available for free download.
Read moreWhile other emcees are satisfied with the title of “rapper,” Archie Bang has higher dreams and and ambitions that cannot be satisfied by a six letter catch all term. Over some well orchestrated piano production supplied by 12 Keyz, the Brooklyn rhymesayer reveals his affinity for the ladies on “Hey Luv” (Remix). With fellow Brooklynite Troy Ave on board, the track is a refreshing change of pace from the endless swag rap clogging the streets. Whereas the original appeared on Troy’s ‘BSB Vol 2.’, this version will be exclusively featured on Bang’s upcoming Never Say Die Vol.1 (80’s Babies) which is set to drop this Tuesday, February 4th, which gives you plenty of time to share this with your own Luv before Valentine’s Day.

Read moreWhile the contemporary rap scene has shifted from selling narcotics to the experiences of drug consumption, Flatbush native Archie Bang decides to take things back to the days of pagers and Pete Rock. On his latest piano laced joint, “Rewind,” the emcee leaves no stone unturned as he describes his struggles of living in Flatbush in full detail, as the Brooklyn community has been known to transform itself into a whole different beast when it’s lights out. Bang’s rough vocals over Sargon The Great’s stellar production is a proper throwback to everyone’s favorite era of Hip-Hop. “Rewind” is one of the many jewels that we could expect to find on Archie’s forthcoming album, Never Say Die, Vol. 1 (80’sBabies).
Read moreThe world of boxing shares an uncanny resemblance to the rap game; the ability to be self sustaining, hungry for success and possess the right amount of showmanship is what separates the fly-by-night hopefuls from the legends. Although Archie Bang may not yet be a household name just yet, his dedication to perfecting his craft sets him apart from the bulk of today’s artists. Named after the brash and charismatic athlete from the Rocky series, “Apollo Creed” is a statement of intent: Bang would rather die in the ring than go home as a loser. Guitar head-nodding instrumentals aside, it’s nearly impossible to not get an adrenaline rush with this one comin’ through your speakers. Stay tuned for more leaks off Archie’s forthcoming album, Never Say Die Vol. 1 (80’s Babies).
