Young Black And Gifted return with “Prime Time” (video)
Rochester, NY duo Young Black And Gifted drop visuals for their newest single “Prime Time.” Directed by HipHopIzLyfe Beat-Smith Kidd Called Quest and lyricist Azariah get busy with more of that motivation music that they do so well. The duo said of the track “in these days of oversaturation and negativity you have to be your own motivator to keep grinding. Don’t get caught up in a fantasy thinking everything supposed to be easy.”

In the meantime, both are keeping busy with solo releases including Azariah’s Humble And Hungry mixtape last summer, which featured new material and underground classics throughout his career. Kidd Called Quest also recently released new single and video “Ferocious” featuring professional mic bruisers RJ Payne (Philadelphia) and Pretty Bulli (Buffalo, NY).

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.”
