Gaine$ drops new video for “The Otherside Of $$$”
Buffalo wordsmith Gaine$ has reached “The Otherside Of $$$” in new single (and accompanying video shot by Austin Barker). The first leak from his forthcoming LP, Mr. Gaine$ to drop on May 1st the track marks a milestone in the emcee’s growth. As he relates “a lot of my music depicts my transformations in life, this one is about my journey from a petty hustler, on government assistance to moving legally and learning how to step back from making art to balance my priorities.”
Glacially cool with echoed vibes and a languid piano, this is late-nite reflection music for Gaine$ to immerse the listener in. The single as well as the album is produced by NOM, whom Gaine$ met in a studio session several years ago.

The album cover as well as recurring soundbytes throughout the project reference the character, Mr. Gaines from the beloved 90’s sitcom, A Different World. Fans of the show will recall Mr. Gaines as the surly owner of the Hillman College eatery, The Pit. Speaking on the connection, the emcee said “My surname is also Gaines and like that character represents wisdom to the younger students I’d like to think that I represent that somewhat amongst my friends and peers. I’m also relaying what I have learned/experienced in hopes that listeners can take something from it.”
Album guests on the project are sparse but Buffalo-centric including Griselda’s own Brother Tom SOS on the track “Ms. Merrimac” as well as Gaine$ brothers-in-rhyme Toneyboi andSkate Cobain.

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.”
