"The project was recorded and mixed at Soundscape Studios in Chicago. The concept behind the project was to create an honest soundtrack of a person's thoughts before and after a night out in the city. During the length of the tape I travel between thoughts of "turning up" and not worrying about the consequences, to thinking about the repercussions of my actions. The tape touches upon the idea that we are all filled with contradictions; however those contradictions are what help us learn and grow as people."

If 50 Cent put Jamaica Queens on the radar, it may be a dope young artist like Yahiness that keeps it on the map!

Wan is keeping his eyes open for them thick girls who know how to throw it back. Make sure To Call Your Local Radio Station To Request It. Follow Him Everywhere.
If that 1st joint "Smoke Break" don't knock your socks off, you got 6 more of them thangs to turnup to! The production by Gria Brothers is above top-notch and rivals any beatmakers in the game today. Mikee Mula is a problem in this game, going extra-hard over every single track. On songs like "No Limit" and "Dhalsim" he mos def flex his lyrical muscle and proves there is a method to his madness, but on bangerz like "Play On the Block" he flips to a drill flow with more ability than any Chicago rapper.
The ambitionz of a grinder. On his new banger "The Grind Never Stops", Khaizer explains the mentality of someone who chases the paper 24-7. He makes alot of sense on the track's intro when he says "The bills won't wait!". This is very motivational music and game that can be applied to anybody's day to day situation!!!

My 1st impression of Dean Chatham is deep, original, creative, and off-kilter. More than anything else true hiphop is evident in each bar spit on his new project "Dean's List 2: The Aftermath". In the age of mumble rap and drill music, Dean's sound may not be everyones cup of tea, but for those who can listen.. you will fall right into this 9 track collection!
"Dean Chatham's first release after signing with Style Music Productions! Listen to this introspective masterpiece known as “Dean’s List 2: The Aftermath”." Right now I got my favs, "Killercut", "Kage", and "Lucid Dreams" on blast!!!
Here's a thoughtful track from the homie KidDr1ft name "O.M.O" or "On My Own". Check as he speaks his mind on his lonely state over a sick Luke White. KidDr1ft says, "When I say on my own I'm describing how it is when you trust people, because trusting is like respect and its something that has to be earned. You do get lost in a track at times when you do something you enjoy so I tend to question a lot of things in life but then again who doesn't?"
BIO: "Darien Gomez Jr aka KidDr1ft or Kid(for short). KidDr1ft is an unsigned artist who also enjoys the bboy life as well.Coming out of Saint Paul, MN but originally born in Minneapolis, MN at a young age he knew what he was destined for.Music has always played an important part of his life whether it was to free his from his problems or just because he was happy music was always there. I guess you could say many artistes from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's inspired him to become an artist of my own. So the thing that keeps him focus isn't just family it's telling hisself "you can't always be the greatest at everything you do but at least you could try to be".
I normally stay away from mixtapes where artists rap over industry beats, usually because it lacks true originality and artists lyrics usually don't live up to those beats. Tori, on the other hand totally kills some of your favorite industry hits on her latest mixtape "No Deal". The difference here is she switches her style on each track, transforming songs and making them her own! Download ASAP!!!
MORE INFO: "In only a few short years Tori has already proven herself as a force to be reckoned with. With her first viral video No Flex Zone (remix) appearing on a host of websites, including vlad.tv and thiis50.com; she has also been featured in numerous magazines including Hip Hop Weekly as cohost of haveseatradio and featured as itsonlyentertainment.net. she gained the interest of the industry."
