Dios Negasi drops “West Testament” ft. Blu
L.A. unites! Emcee/Producer Dios Negasi enlists Blu for new single “West Testament.” Presented by Chamber Music Ent / Reagan Era Records the track is available via digital platforms and is taken from the forthcoming Black Violin 2 LP. Rugged spittin over a deadly dose of boom-bap, Dios and Blu’s chemistry actually goes back to the early days of the millennium. As he relates “Blu and I were in a crew called L.A. Metro in the early 2000’s. Along with Donell Smokes (Black), Spit Fiya, Co$$, Skrillz Dior and Loops (Anthony Cruz). We did a ton of shows together all over L.A., San Diego and New Mexico. We actually have a few other tracks together to drop after Black Violin 2.”

Retro gaming meets professional mic rippers for a new single. Great Neck, NY’s AWOL Da Mindwriter continues his audio partnership with August Fanon (Mach Hommy, Vic Spencer) for “Chaos Control.” A reference to a Sega Dreamcast early 90’s classic, Sonic Adventure 2 the high velocity bars are amplified with guest appearance from underground legend, Planet Asia (and cuts by DJ Pinn).. Speaking on the link-up AWOL said “Chaos Control was a power-up in the Sonic universe used for battle. I view this track as a blood-sport with two emcees making other emcees not wanna reckon with us.”
