King Samson - The Service (Mixtape)

1 comment:

King Samson is a rapper that consistently released new music, hitting the net and streets with new heat to keep listeners on their toes. After almost losing his life to the streets and beating a case, you would think it would slow him down. But it was not the case. Samson seems to have made some moves toward better business and perfecting his craft. This year alone he's officially dropped three mixtapes.

Earlier in the year we heard "Robber Not A Rapper" and the sequel mixtape. In between the those projects and after he dropped numerous videos, keeping his music in our ears. To end the year off King Samson present a sermon of sorts with a new mixtape called "The Service". Holding ten tracks, it sounds like he's grew as a rapper, its still Samson, with a maturing delivering which was evident on songs like "Prayed About It". If you're already of this artist this should do nothing but strengthen the love for his music, new listeners should enjoy and probably tell a friend.

No comments:

During interviews, one question that comes up in many of them is "When did you first start taking rap seriously". The answers always vary, but usually we'll hear they their rap career was their main focus during high school years and some even later. Though many artist give a young age at which they start rapping, most had no real knowledge of putting together a actual project or even producing beats. All they have are their influences and a yearning to indulge.

Earlier this year CCHH spoke with ACE B8gie, who now goes by the name B8gie Foo', who talked about his beginnings in rap. We were presented with news of a new project and history of one of our favorite artist. We would soon get to hear a 9 year old B8gie rapping, on what would be his first actual project.

Fresh new track from Jay2 and Monte Booker. Pinpointing a signature style in Monte's production, he provides a multi-layered combination of sounds, for, at times turbulent track back drops that come together pretty damn well. He offers up a unique style of producing to Chicago, that Jay2 seems to have no  problems taking on.

This one feels like a track to dance to, dedicate to the fairer skin, or more specifically I'll make a connection and say inspiration comes from that cute "big headed" chick "Gina" from the classic show 'Martin'. Jay2 continues to be one to pay attention to, who seems as though he's binding time for a big release. He definitely delivers on this new track, never one give monotone raps, he switches up the pace, while rapping of making a connection with the a lovely lady, for a very enjoyable song.
