APass Killer didn’t betray me, he became APass
•
APass is a clever dude and he always has something witty up his sleeve. Even before he dropped the name Killer, he had it in his rhymes. Many of his fans after the song “I’m Loving” might not know that the man used to flip bars see “APass Killer”. He rapped his brains out.…

How to consume Ciphers in 2020
•
Last evening we released a list of 2019’s Ciphers, and I realised we missed out the newly released “Trip Cypher 3”. It is the third installment from Trip Music and geared by Trip Smith himself. It is already added. Of this morning, I woke up thinking about the fire that was between 2015 –…

Spiritual references on Baru’s Magdalene ft. Precious
•
Magdalene is spiritual. It’s human vulnerability put out for us to observe and absorb. Magdalene at it core is not necessarily a hip hop album. Precious has the hip hop edge to her (if you remember “Enough” on Drugs EP), but on here she delivers soulfully over experimental and intentioned trap and rnb beats.…

Parte After Parte and the more skills the merrier
•
Circa 2014, just thinking about recording my second song “R.H.O.D.A. State” I hit Buddies Studios, in the glory days of Andy Music and earlier but not so popular days of The Weezy on the Beat, I meet Big Tril. Tall guy, easy going and so approachable. I joined him on the couch and sat…

There could be a Fasie and Pryce Teeba EP/LP coming
•
Ever since Fasie teamed up with the Ntinda bred and mentored rapper Pryce Teeba on “Choices Remix”; she has not turned back. With Pryce, she talks that trap talk. I am yet to rank the best collaboration from the two rappers who comfortably blend Luganda and calculated sprinkle of other lingo to create a…

Recover the Money, Young King and Queen
•
The intro to Baru’s “Recover the Money” which features Pryce Teeba is one of the spot on prologues in Baru’s catalogue. With a super charged employment of the panning, the intro slides in, Abaasa chants these lines: “I am chopping the money/I am getting the money…. Recover the money, recover the money/that’s what I…
