Fresh Music: Pro Era (Dirty Sanchez, Dyemond Lewis, & Nick Caution) "Pro Cake$ 2"

Last year Pro Era dropped a track called Pro Cake$ in which the members rhymed over MF Doom's Hoe Cakes. This time around, they released Pro Cake$ 2 (which is obviously the sequel to Pro), only this time they are rapping over Drake's Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2 (feat. Jay-Z). I've heard a few remixes to this, but I think Dirty Sanchez, Dyemond Lewis, and Nyck Caution did the best job. Who's surprised Dirty Sanchez annihilated his verse? NOBODY. It honestly seems like Dirty never comes light. "My track list heavy metal like blacksmith, Black Sabbath, Black list, like Capone, Frontin' like I don't drop dope quotes".....yeah, so there's that. The one that surprised me was the Supa Slacka (Dyemond Lewis). I guess I'm just used to hearing him be super relaxed on songs, but this time he was really spitting. Nyck Caution concluded the track, and said a few raw things, with my favorite being "mami getting anal, get cho' a$$ f*cked".. HAHA. Check it...

Fresh Visual: Jibreel Price "Soldier's Story" (Prod. Ace Boogie)

The homie Jibreel hasn't stopped releasing visuals from his last project just yet. The last video he released was for "I'm On" (Hate Me Now), and now here we have Soldier's Story. "I'm On" was very raw, so it's cool to see a different look from him. This is actually the second song Jibreel has made that literally has made me cry. The first one was My Inspiration from his S.O.L.D.I.E.R project. I knew this video would hit home, because when I heard it on his project it struck a few chords. A good portion of this video was shot around a river and trees which I think accompanies the beat (s/o to Ace Boogie), and overall ambiance of the track very well. The trees are definitely my favorite landscape, because it reminded me of how much he has grown as an artist throughout the past few years. I feel like the quick transition within the line "It's family over everything, that's how I was brought up, seems as if my baby sister just turned into my daughter" was the turning point in the video and seemed to move me the most. Something soon has to come from all of the hard work he's been putting in. Favorite video from him, hands down.
RTS did an awesome job with the directing.
