What do you get when you enlist Jamaican Rappers Five Steez, Nomad Carlos, The Sickest Drama with Inztinkz who boasts Production and Rapping skills? The super group called “The Council” of course! Since their debut single “Council Arts” in 2015, listeners have been eager to hear what these Artists can do over more production on a mixtape, EP, or album format. Though seasoned members in the “First Coast” movement, The Council aims to bring more listeners to where Hip Hop came from, and of course show them that they’re nice with the flow when they form like Voltron.
1. I just finished listening to soundcloud.com/proeraradio/jo… and heard that Joey Bada$$ was in the Island recently. Did any of you meet with him? That would certainly have been a “PRO” move by The Council.
Inztinkz: Nah I didn’t get the chance to meet him actually, I guess it was just a matter of our circles not crossing.
Five Steez: I didn’t meet Joey when he was here but I respect his work. I really liked his album, B4da$$.
Nomad Carlos: What’s good? Nah I wasn’t in JA when that went down. I probably wouldn’t have met with him anyway due to the circles of interest on his part.
TSD: Nah, we didn’t meet with him, but I’m aware of other First Coast affiliates who did, and I hope something positive comes out of it.
2. Pretend this is a phone call I made to acquire just the right amount of insight about the rap game from the only comrades who actually know the direction of authentic Jamaican emceeing. Fill me in on as much details as possible.
Inztinkz: Jamaican emceeing had always been in a weird place. Right now I think because of the diversity of influences in rap in general, Jamaican emceeing can’t be pinned down to one particular style per-se. Its really an amalgamation of the the Jamaican experience and all that influences it done via the medium of Hip Hop.
TSD: Jamaican Hip Hop is an underground phenomenon that’s bubbling in local scene waiting for the right avenues and spotlight to emerge. There are many rappers scattered across the island, although the fraternity seems more insular in remote parts of the country. There’s a diverse range in terms of influence and sound, but the common denominator is re arranging the yard experience through the prism of Hip Hop culture as its become to be known internationally. It’s a post-modern aesthetic.
You’ve seen her in Sean Kingston’s “One Away” video, in countless photos showing off her physique, but did you know Jada K is also a Recording Artist? You may have heard her on Chuck Fender’s “Believe” single, or even her “Like What You See” single, but today she releases “Just A Wreck“. Here she urges young ladies to love themselves and see their worth, and speaks on those who have been used and abused on their journey to living a better life. A song with a message, something that deserves replays as these situations happen daily. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard some music from Blu Rok’s Hard Dayz. Today we present to you not one, but two tracks from the “Greenz Yaadi“. In “Feelz Good“, we hear Dayz going into Dancehall/R&B mode by reaching out to the ladies over a groovy SOS Dynamikz Production. On “Selah“, Dayz brings it back to Hip Hop and goes in on his rise in the Rap game and warns his peers that he’s taking over everything over SOS Dynamikz’s dark Production. It looks like Dayz needed the vacation as he also makes us aware of his “Greenz Yaadi (Reinvented)” Project. No word on the release date but check out the tracks below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
