Baltimore’s GAWDS return with “No Condolences”
Baltimore quartet GAWDS are offering “No Condolences” on new single (with accompanying video). Darkly personal and raw, the track is perhaps the most emotional in the group’s extensive catalog. The track is bolstered by L3’s (singer/emcee) vocal melodies as well as additional bars from the group’s other two emcees Regulus and Pinpoint.
Speaking on the track L3 and Regulus said “it depicts the harsh reality of leaving a loved one. It’s one of our most personal tracks and it doesn’t get more direct than this.”

“No Condolences” appears on the group’s recent album The Care Package. While the quartet are long known for their prowess in the Boom-Bap arena, this project incorporates R&B and Soul sensibilities upon the existing foundation. In addition, the group has a lot more personal issues to air out within the album including divorce, family issues and of course ethering backstabbers and suckers.
Mostly a family affair, album guests include Baltimore Brethren including Clif Love, Briana La Barz, Pete The Dark Truth, Richard Cranium and Kardo The Don. However, the album also welcomes two San Antonio, Texas artists Spy MC and Blazy Green that the group built with last summer while on tour. As Regulus recalls “the track ‘Change Up’ feat Spy MC was written and recorded right after we got off the plane. The recording session was from 1am-4am.”

International emcee Paisanos, Los Chicos Criollos have returned with their newest single. “Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is that rugged-n-raw hip-hop for the Los Chicos Criollos boys (U.S. Rhyme-slinger Kingdom Kome + Toronto, Canada mic-vet Che Uno) to spit their bi-lingual grime over. The track (Produced by RUEN) also boasts additional lyrical napalm courtesy of top shotta, Daniel Son.

Speaking on the track Kingdom Kome said “this is a hardcore joint and I love it! I’ve done several tracks with Daniel Son previously and he’s Che’s people so once we had the title in mind, we knew he would be perfect on the track.”
“Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is the second leak from the forthcoming Los Chicos Criollos LP , Merca Musica to drop on November 10th via Walking With Enoch Music. Though they have two Halloween themed mixtapes together (Brujos 1 + 2 respectively) this will be the first full Los Cricos Criollos album that is fully produced by RUEN.
Previous single “Olmedo Y Porcel” (named forlegendary Argentinian comedy duo Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel) also received the video treatment and was Filmed on location at the El Almacen Café in Toronto, Canada by WIZDOME BUNITALL (for Fuego Films).

With frequent references to their shared Argentinian roots the album title Merca Musica translates roughly to the slang title of dope music. As Kingdom Kome states “we are trafficking this pure uncut and unfiltered product, which is our music, and we feel the whole concept just got elevated with RUEN’s contributions.”
