KidSuper Records Recruits Giggs & Quavo For Debut Single “Big In Da Game”

by

Colm Dillane, a fashioner designer who has been a part of some of the grandest runway stages, is launching a new creative project for himself. He’s always had a passion for music and has been working on some other things behind the scenes. However, the 33-year-old mind is launching his own record label called KidSuper. To get things off on the right foot, Dillane is here with “Big In Da Game.” It’s a single that has been in the works for a little while, according to Hypebeast. Him and the UK rap legend crossed paths while the latter was filming a music video with Dave East.

The location just happened to be in front of Dillane’s KidSuper Roebling Street headquarters. They connected and got to work shortly after on the single. It went on to be previewed at Dillane’s Paris Fashion Week STRING THEORY Fall/Winter 2024 show. Ironically, Quavo happened to be at the event, liked what he heard, and asked to be on the single. So, that’s the origin story of how KidSuper’s “Big In Da Game” came to be, but how does it sound? Overall, it’s pretty standard trap braggadocio, but it’s a solid start for one of the newest labels on the block.

“Big In Da Game” – KidSuper, Giggs, & Quavo

Quotable Lyrics:

V12 engine, just swapped out the motor
Pull up with a stallion, she bite like a cobra (Skrrt, skrrt)
Won’t do no plan, if I got, I’m sprayin’
Right in my palms, the way that they land (Fah)
Sell out the 02 Arena for real (Fah, fah)
If I’m on the stage, your b**** in the stands (Yeah)

On this date in 1992, “Nasty” Nas dropped his first single for an otherwise unknown movie soundtrack.

Not even Nasir Jones himself knew the magnitude of what his career would be when the “Halftime” single dropped on October 13, 1992. Appearing on Nas’ monumental Illmatic album as well as the under the radar silver screen flick Zebrahead, Halftime was the smash single that put Nasty Nas in the position to be considered the “Second Coming” of lyrical pioneer Rakim by none other than The Source Magazine, who gave Nasty the coveted Five Mic rating for the landmark album.

Produced by Large Professor, who found his way onto Nas’ album by way of the LP’s other incomparable single, “It Ain’t Hard To Tell,” this song was the catalyst that launched the Illmatic project and Nas’ illustrious career.

Afrobeats Producer Thisizlondon Releases His Debut Single “PINACOLADA” Alongside Ayra Starr & 6LACK

by

If you are not into the Afrobeats wave that’s happening right now, you may want to reconsider. There are so many exciting talents popping off right now both behind the mic and behind the boards. Two of them are on a new single together and its one we recommend you spin immediately. This weekend, producer Thisizlondon and Ayra Starr, as well as Atlanta R&B mainstay 6LACK, are uniting for “PINACOLADA”. This is the former’s record and it’s his first solo piece of music ever. However, he’s tons of experience, as him and Ayra are frequent collaborators. You may have heard the singer’s recent hit “Commas” and that is just one song that Thisizlondon has been on.

Other artists to work with him include Rema, Wizkid, Stormzy, Tiwa Savage, and more. Since this is london’s first-ever solo release, it was smart to grab someone who he already has a strong rapport with in the studio. It makes “PINACOLADA” that much better and it just seems that these two know what the other is thinking when it comes to ideas coming to fruition. Ayra effortlessly and sweetly sings across this summer night instrumental. 6LACK also delivers a great performance adding a bit of rapping element to breakup the flow in a good way. Yet, he still matches the rhythm of the beat just as well as Starr. If you need something to vibe to this is it.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m the one that help you pick up the pieces
Speechless, always on point like a thesis
Sound like a feind, but I need it
Inside, inside, I’m not for the drama, no fight
I’m from the big side, zone six side
I got you pulling up for the midnight rendevouz

Veeze Links With Tye Beats For Producer’s Debut Single “Wocky Sinner”

by

“Damn Tye you made this b**** too” is a producer tag you are going to be hearing a lot more from very soon. That is tell-tale sign that Detroit, Michigan native Tye Beats is behind the boards, and you can hear it on his new single with Veeze, “Wocky Sinner”. In fact, this is the up-and-comer’s debut release. However, Tye has been making beats for a little bit now. One of his biggest credits is on 21 Savage’s latest album, american dream. His work lands on the Summer Walker collab “prove it”, and that R&B style is something that Tye specializes in. Another key track that he has been a part of is actually another Veeze track.

He put the instrumental together for the “GOMD” remix which features Lil Uzi Vert. You can find that track on the deluxe version of Veeze’s latest commercial effort, Ganger. With these big accomplishments in the rear view, Tye Beats is looking to take that next step. Producer albums are huge, and they have been perhaps even more so over the last few years. Soon, he will be throwing his name into that ring with his debut album Damn Tye. The project will be out August 8 and will include this Veeze collab, “Wocky Sinner”. On this single, Tye samples Bryson Tiller’s “Timeless Interlude” from his 2020 LP A N N I V E R S A R Y by pitching up the background vocals from it. Then, he gives it the traditional Detroit treatment that has been sweeping the city lately. The skittering drums and hi-hats and resonant bass tie things up nicely, leading to a vibey banger to get fans ready for Damn Tye.

Kanye West’s Timeless Classic “Through The Wire” Was Released 20 Years Ago Today

by

When you think about the greatest artists ever, a lot of different names from all sorts of genres might come to mind. One that you cannot ignore is Kanye West. Atlanta-born and Chicago-raised, Ye has been viewed as a polarizing visionary for most, if not all of his career. That is no secret and has not been for a long time. However, from a purely music perspective, there is not many better than him.

His debut album was proof of that back in 2004. The College Dropout is viewed by many as still his greatest body of work even nearly two full decades later. Even with others like Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Late Registration, the original stands the test of time. With classics like “Jesus Walks,” and “All Falls Down,” it is not hard to see the vision. But, what basically shot Kanye into immediate star status was “Through The Wire.”

It is a classic because of its amazing sampling of Chaka Khan’s “Through The Fire,” but there are plenty of other reasons too. For one, some of the recordings were done right after he broke his jaw in a nasty car accident. Even with his mouth nearly closed shut he was so dedicated that he laid down vocals anyway. On top of that, it is a great storytelling track, as you can see from some of the lyrics below. Kanye continues to inspire and create some of the best material all these years later, and it is all because of songs like “Through The Wire.”

What were your initial thoughts on Kanye West’s classic song “Through The Wire?” Is this his greatest song of all time? Is he the master of sampling and telling personal stories? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I must got a angel, ‘cause look how death missed his a**
Unbreakable, what, you thought they’d call me Mr. Glass?
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Toys “R” Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still won’t grow up, I’m a grown-a** kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid **** that I did

Today In Hip Hop History: Wu-Tang Clan’s Debut Single “Protect Ya Neck” Turns 30 Years Old!

On this day in 1993, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan began their reign as one of the most powerful and influential rap groups in history by releasing their debut single, “Protect Ya Neck.” With this track, Wu-Tang took the rap game by storm with a style unheard and an attitude unseen. “Protect Ya Neck” set a tone in Hip Hop that shifted the genre toward a more hardcore, rugged sound.

Originally recorded in a different order with a completely different beat, group member RZA took the liberty to reconstruct the song in post-production to the goliath that we all know and love. According to him, all he needed was the vocals of the group. The original beat used was just a placeholder used to get the verses. RZA’s unique style also incorporated the kung-fu film dialogue and fought scenes throughout the track. This unique style of production became a trend for Wu-Tang Clan.

To clarify any confusion about who is who on the song, the order of verses is as follows: Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, Method Man, U-God, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah, RZA, & GZA. The single was first released independently through Wu-Tang Records and had “After the Laughter Comes Tears” as the B-side. Loud Records later re-released it with “Method Man” as the B-side. It sold 10,000 copies.
