SleazyWorld Emotionally Shares His Debut LP “More Than A Shooter”

by

SleazyWorld Go, Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper, is known for his “Sleazy Flow” records. The original and remix with Lil Baby have over 300 million streams combined. However, he is looking to give fans more outside of some streaming darlings. He isn’t necessarily a lyrical MC, but the 26-year-old is divulging in what has made him become the artist and person is today on his own terms. That tasked is being carried out on SleazyWorld Go’s debut album, More Than A Shooter. Even though, he’s now six projects deep, this is being billed as the inaugural studio effort.

We can see why it’s taken him four years to get to this point, though, thanks to a heart-wrenching IG post. A few weeks prior to releasing it, Sleazy revealed that he was overcome with emotion for the first time in a long time putting this together. “I ain’t shed no tear since I was a kid but I cried making this album 🥲.. not because I was sad but because I realized how far I came, what I went through to get here & how much I lost after it all💔”, he began.

“It’s bitter sweet cause I lost love ones I never thought I would lose due to this lifestyle and what came with this street s***, success, money & fame😔😔. I hope my story can help any youngin thats where I was once in my life. In the hood.. with no hope but had a dream.. a dream to be more than what they seen growing up… Keep pushing, keep striving, keep believing in yo self”.

On this date in 1991, the “Illtown(Irvington)” trio known as Naughty By Nature released their self-titled debut LP on the now-defunct Tommy Boy imprint.

This album, which within a six-month time span went platinum, dropped a series of singles that became instant anthems, making Naughty one of the best hook makers in Hip Hop of that era. Some of those smash singles include the “Uptown Anthem”, which features a rookie Tupac Shakur in the video as a promo for the cult classic flick Juice, the rags-to-riches story of “Everything Is Gonna Be Alright” and the millennial classic gem “O.P.P.”.

Salute to Treach, Vin Rock, and DJ Kay Gee for giving the culture such a classic piece of Hip Hop history!

TodayinHipHopHistory:JuniorMafiaReleasesTheirDebutAlbum'ConspiracyTheory'YearsAgo

On this date in 1995, the hometown crew of Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls, which was composed of Lil’ Kim, Lil’ Cease, Nino Brown, Chico Del Vec, Kleptomaniac, Capone, Bugsy and Trife and Larceny of The Snakes, who called themselves Junior Mafia, dropped their first album entitled Conspiracy Theory on the Undeas/Atlantic imprint.

With Biggie being one of the first East Coast artists to put his homies on from his Bed-Stuy block, Conspiracy Theory served up a suffix of hits featuring the “King Of NY,” which helped to further catapult his stardom, but introduce an entire crew of microphone astute Brooklyn kids that launched an entire movement of their own. JM also introduced a female emcee from BK that would forever change the landscape of Hip-Hop for women; Lil’ Kim.

Some of the sure shot singles from this monumental project include “Player’s Anthem” featuring Notorious B.I.G. and Lil’ Kim, “I Need You Tonight” featuring Biggie’s then-wife Faith Evans and of course the anthemic “Get Money”.

Salute to Junior Mafia, Lil’ Cease, Lil’ Kim, “Un” Rivera and the entire Junior Mafia squad for dropping this eternal Hip-Hop classic!

Luh Tyler Finally Delivers His Debut Album “Mr. Skii”

by

Luh Tyler’s star has been flickering for about the last year and a half. 2022 saw him drop one of his biggest tracks even to this day with “Law & Order pt. 2”. However, he really broke through last year with his debut mixtape My Vision. The teenage sensation from Florida would go on to include songs like “Back Flippin”, “Ransom”, which saw him develop his connection with Lil Uzi Vert, as well as with multiple other features. That project allowed Tyler to show off his gravelly and whispery flows to a broader audience. Now, Luh Tyler is carrying the momentum from that tape and multiple features to drop off Mr. Skii.

This is the long-awaited debut album, and it comes after a slew of singles. “First Show”, “Change My Wayz”, “Young N****”, and “2 Slippery” were first. Then, the night before its release, Tyler went onto to include “Stayed Down” and “7 AM in Munich” to that already large stack. Now, with a bigger budget and even more recognition, he’s working with bigger names from across Gator Country such as BossMan Dlow, Kodak Black, and BLP KOSHER. Tyler does ride some punchier and trappier beats on this project in comparison to the airier and minimal instrumentals he typically selects. It’ll be up to you to decide if you think his risk taking paid off, so give Mr. Skii a try below.

Today in Hip Hop History: Tha Alkaholiks Dropped Their Debut Album ’21 & Over’ 31 Years Ago

by
TodayInHipHopHistory:ThaAlkaholiks'DebutAlbum'&Over'TurnsYearsOld!

On this date in 1993, J-Ro, Tash, and E-Swift, the West Coast collective known as Tha Alkaholiks, released their premiere album 21 & Over on Steve Rifkind’s Loud/RCA imprint.

Founded by West Coast legend King Tee, Tha Alkaholiks and their music are recognized as the epitome of Cali party music, with the clinking bottles and drunken burps as the backdrop. The 21 & Over project served as one of the few examples of West Coast Hip Hop that wasn’t oversaturated with California gang life. Instead, Tha Liks were a part of the Cali movement of MCs who had to prove their lyrical skills were competitive compared to their East Coast counterparts.

The ten-track classic is less than 40 minutes in length. Still, the drunken style theme is maintained throughout the entire project, with sure shot singles like “Last Call,” “Make Room,” and “Likwit” that solidified Tha Liks as a force from the West that continues to be recognized for their contribution to the game.

Salute to King Tee and the crew for churning out this timeless Hip Hop classic!

22 years ago, Terrence and Gene Thorton aka Pusha T and Malice put out Lord Willin’, The Clipse’s debut album that helped them solidify their spots within honorable mention of some of the best lyricists in the game.

Produced exclusively by the Neptunes on Pharrell Williams’ Star Trak imprint, the album displayed The Clipse’s microphone prowess, which helps the squares navigate through their cocaine-flooded street slang. Along with artists like Timbaland and Magoo, Missy Elliot, and Pharrell, The Clipse was an intricate part of establishing VA as one of the East Coast’s strongholds in Hip Hop, which made room for artists like Chris Brown and Wale to add on to the legacy.

Some of the most memorable gems from the Twin Thorton’s first album include “Cot Damn” featuring their Re-Up Gang affiliates Ab-Liva and Philly’s Roscoe P. Coldchain, “When The Last Time” with their Star Trak team members Kelis and Pharrell, and the infamous “Grindin’” with remixes featuring Noreaga, and another infamous duo, Lil Wayne and Birdman.

Salute to Pusha, No Malice, Pharrell, and the rest of the Star Trak team for pushing out this timeless classic!

Today in Hip-Hop History: Run-D.M.C. Dropped Their Self Titled Debut Album 41 Years Ago

by
tumblr 399d8ddb36fece5ae1277a4288b78532 341fa07e 500

On this date in 1984, the Kings from Queens released their first self-titled album on Def Jam Recordings under Rush Management.

This monumental album put Daryl McDaniels (DMC), Joseph Simmons (DJ Run), and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay) on the map, and launched one of the most successful careers Hip-Hop has ever seen.

With songs like “Sucker MCs,” “It’s Like That,” “Hard Times” and “Rock Box,” the record was an accurate reflection of the lives of three ambitious kids from Hollis, Queens in New York City in a time before the crack epidemic.

Simmons and McDaniels used to hang around Two-Fifths Park in Hollis in late 1980, hoping to rap for the local DJs who performed and competed there. The most popular one just happened to be Mizell, then known as “Jazzy Jase” because of his flashy wardrobe and b-boy attitude. Eventually, Simmons and McDaniels rapped in front of Mizell at the park, and the rest is history.

As a group, they soon strapped on a pair of Adidas, threw on a rope chain and topped it off with a Kangol hat. Little did they know, they were crafting a signature style, one that has stood the test of time and is widely recognized around the world.

Run-D.M.C. went on to release six more albums, including 1985’s King of Rock and 1986’s Raising Hell. Tragically, Mizell was gunned down on October 30, 2002, at his recording studio in Queens. Countless fans left Adidas sneakers, albums and flowers for the legendary DJ outside of the studio, where the murder occurred. The homicide has yet to be solved.

Run-D.M.C. was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, making them one of only two Hip Hop acts given that honor at the time.

Today in Hip Hop History: Gravediggaz Dropped Their Debut LP ‘6 Feet Deep’ 30 Years Ago

by
tumblr b300cc4697febc9750bcd8a1a2d19efb 74878f9f 1280

On this date in 1994, WTC affiliates Gravediggaz dropped the crew’s groundbreaking debut album, 6 Feet Deep. The group, composed of Prince Paul, Frukwan of Stetsasonic, RNS, Grym Reaper, Mr. Sime, and The Abbott himself, aka the Rzarector, released this classic piece on Gee Street Records. The original title, Niggamortis, was changed to appeal to mainstream audiences.

The album became a trailblazing prototype for what is now recognized as the “horrorcore hip-hop” genre. It’s grizzly references to death, graves, and other snuff scenarios carved a lane for Gravediggaz all of their own.

Tracks like “Diary Of A Madman” and “Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide” led the album’s momentum as strong singles. Still, hidden gems like “Bang Your Head” and “Here Comes The Gravediggaz” were favorites of backpacking rap enthusiasts everywhere.

Salute to the Gravediggaz for this solid album! Peace!

Sugarhill Ddot Presents His Debut Album “2 Sides Of The Story”

by

With drill music being a prominent subgenre in all corners of the geographic market, there seems to be a new artist looking to waves. One of those talents hails from New York City and his name is Sugarhill Ddot. He’s been dropping some singles and EPs for the last two years or so, but he had yet to drop an album or mixtape in that frame. Well, Sugarhill Ddot is fulfilling the former item on his checklist with 2 Sides of the Story. On the teenager‘s debut, he had some things he wanted set straight going forward for the rest of his career.

In a press release, Ddot says, “2 Sides Of The Story shows my growth as an artist. I’m from Sugarhill but there’s more to me than just that. “I spent the last year working on this debut album [and] I want people to see the two sides of me. I can do street records but also smooth melodic records”. He certainly delivers on that front throughout the healthy 18-song set. Ddot sometimes sounds like some of his guests, particularly the posthumously featured PnB Rock, especially on the more lowkey cuts. However, this is something that a lot of artists work through early on, so it isn’t too much of a concern. Overall, there are some solid drill bops and some big-ticket names both on the mic and behind the board. Give 2 Sides Of The Story a spin with the links below.

Today In Hip Hop History: Cormega Dropped His Classic Debut Album ‘The Realness’ 23 Years Ago

by
Screenshot 2024 07 24 at 2.14.07 PM

One of the most intriguing and insightful full length album to drop during a time when mixtapes were at their apex was when Queensbridge legend Cormega released his first studio LP aptly titled The Realness in 2001 on the indie LandSpeed imprint.

With an array of multi-faceted producers such as Queensbridge cohort Havoc of Mobb Deep, DJ J-Love, Sha Money XL, The Alchemist and even Mega himself, this was the introduction into the life of the street legend that the Hip Hop world first heard about on Nas’ “One Love”. This album was also following Mega’s release from The Firm after getting only one chance to shine, which was on the epic “Affirmative Action” single alongside Foxy Brown, Nas and AZ. So The Realness served as a redemption of sorts after being dropped from Def Jam, showing not only did the label make a mistake dropping a stellar artist, but missing out on the unveiling of one of the best albums of 2001.

The 15-track hidden gem, which ironically is also one of the most slept on albums of 2001, contains a slew of classic, yet under the radar tracks that resonated with core fans of Queensbridge crime rhyme and beyond. Songs like “They Forced My Hand” featuring original Juice Crew member Tragedy Khadafi aka Intelligent Hoodlum, “Thun & Kicko” with the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep, his “5 For 40” a cappella, the classic “R U My Nigga”, his ode to Hip Hop “American Beauty”, “Killaz Theme”, a hidden track featuring Prodigy and Havoc and an entire vibe of “Realness” that could only be given to the people through Cormega’s unique perspective.

Salute to Mega for dropping this important piece of Hip Hop history!
