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.”

Young Zee and Psych Major return with new single “Mine” this morning. While the track is head-nod maximum boom-bap the single cover and video is meant to raise the hackles on your neck. Featuring puppetry by BroadcastKing the emcee’s avatars and possessed landscape reside somewhere between The Blair Witch’s territory and Amityville.
