Kota The Friend & PRICE Link Up For Concise Seven-Track EP “SANCTIONED VOL. 1”

Kota the Friend is a rapper you go to for relax vibes and solid rhymes, and that is what he is providing on SANCTIONED VOL. 1. For the New York rapper, this is project number two for 2024, superseding his January tape, Lyrics to GO Vol. 5. That is the latest entry in that halo series for the “Colorado” lyricist and it was yet another business-as-usual kind of project. There are not many more rock steady spitters that Kota and it just feels like he never really flops on any occasion. On this seven-song EP, he is joined by a California artist by the name of PRICE (Price). He also goes by Pricetag and he is one half of the Audio Push tandem and works alongside Oktane.

Sadly, though, it appears that Oktane and PRICE are not too eager to release music together. The last time the hip-hop community heard anything from them was 2020 for a single called “Time To Listen”. You have to go back another year for when they dropped an album. That would be 2019’s Audio Mars. Conversely, PRICE is still active. He began releasing solo material right around the time Audio Push stopped. In fact, he also came through with a project in January too, putting out C.I.T.Y. and it’s deluxe. Maybe PRICE has a new permanent partner in rhyme with Kota the Friend, because SANCTIONED VOL. 1 sees them piece together poised performances.

Southern California recording artist Price has had a rollercoaster career that has seen the highest of highs and lowest of lows; however, been nothing but blissful these past few years with several hit songs and a new deal with Motown Records. Now, with a new E.P. on the way, he taps popular heartthrob Elhae for the project’s first single and music video, “Without You.” “Without you … easily my best visual yet,” Price tweets Thursday afternoon (Mar 3). 

“Price flipped a Ja Rule classic into a West Coast bop,” tweets Rap Caviar with fire emoji.

A tribute to the classic 2Pac and Janet Jackson-starring classic film, Poetic Justice (1993), the captivating cinematic visual follows Price as he moves through various stages of life, from dating to marriage to fatherhood. Elhae pulls up for the cameo with a fiery falsetto. Together, they trade young, fly, and flashy styles with melodies and a soul-stirring hook.  

Price’s new single further validates his newfound appeal and deal with Motown, which involves his imprint, C.L.R.D. Entertainment. “This why you start and build your own brand,” he tweets. “Create your own value and leverage. I did a partnership with Motown records and signed ME TO ME after building leverage and momentum. put my own dough up. mf’s gotta come in MY OFFICE now. live and learn my ppl. # C.L.R.D.E.N.T. citch.”
