Hip-Hop in today's generation is unfairly being critiqued. The new generation is seen as disrespectful, and not holding up the Hip-Hop culture for what it is or what it was meant to be. I strongly disagree wit this statement because Hip-Hop is only in it's 50's which would be the age of a grown adult that is still learning their journey but can be stuck in their own way. When we look at Hip-Hop in this way we see the Hip-Hop we loved was Hip-Hop culture in its' infancy and through growth it will take twists and turns before its' gifts are truly developed. The same can be said about Jersey and its' Hip-Hop culture as well.


In New Jersey the term of support and self hatred have been themes of the culture and with this article we hope to end that false narrative today. NJ is ripe with so much talent that the talent is fighting to be heard and Heritage Hip-Hop is the outlet for them. We started the Jersey Series where we will take artist and create playlists featuring them and sharing it to the masses so not only can they be heard but the listeners can check out their projects and music pages as well. Part 1 features 4 of the brightest in NJ right now: Ib Mattic , Solis, J.1.Da, and Samad Savage.


Each artist comes with their own style but they all compliment each other wisely and efficiently and could arguably be, if they were, one of the best cliques/groups in the Hip-Hop culture PERIOD. Ib Mattic is an MC that was bread from MO Sound Group's creator Push Buttinz who serves as his mentor and father. Ib is an accomplished producer and MC that is not only a child prodigy but the next inline to follow what Kwame, Kanye West (old of course), and Jay Dilla has brought to the game. Beats and passionate rhymes that match his creativity. The Same could be said for Samad Savage that has dropped classic projects in the last 2 years The Grey Area and Trust The Weird Kids. J.1.Da and Solis are lyrical tyrants that destroy the many beats that they are on and continue to detail their own personal development in their music. J.1.Da details spiritual growth as a man and MC in his rhymes with a voice that can lead a battle ex. Braveheart and Solis talks about his Hispanic Heritage and fighting for the freedom to express and deliver righteousness to the masses.


Having done songs together we put this playlist together to highlight some of their best work separate and part of their albums/projects and highlighting other names in the NJ Hip-Hop landscape as well as some from outside of the land like, Chris Rivers, The Ghost Jay, Therapeutic Stan, Khalidatnight, superstar Leah Jenea, and Push Buttinz himself. We urge everyone to become members of www.HeritageHipHop.com (membership is free), and download this classic mixtape and experience why the future of NJ Hip-Hop is in good hands.

When we read the Bible we read that The Most High separated the waters and exposed the land. Later we read that man was made from the dust of the ground. In the theory of evolution we are told that creatures came from the waters and the mud of the ground and came to populate the earth. I can say that in the story of New Jersey Hip-Hop when the landscape was ripe for new sound, Out Da Mud Music Group came and gave the Garden State something rich with nutrients to grow and strengthen the Sounds of New Jersey culture.


Exclusive to Heritage Hip-Hop, Out Da Mud Music Group released their new mixtape BC Era. The theme of the project is to take the listener to the time before the crisis when Hip-Hop was different , new, creative and fresh out the pack to a landscape of new youthful listeners. Frank Castle and Shot Kobang take us on lyrical escapades rapping on beats of Hip-Hop's great past on beats that feature a duo theme. Songs like It's Lit and Soul Food take the listener to yesteryear remembering the power of a group, the power of 2 MCs that can control a microphone and paint a narrative. Frank Castle brings the punch of a tactician and Shot Kobang bring the lyrical MMA style punch. But when you think it ends there Grimm Cyph the shadow of the group delivers a raw style that leaves the average ear shook with anticipation of the next verse.


The video It's Lit sets the stage for the Mixtape and by the end of the project we hope you are ready for the album to come. Out Da Mud will be talked about in 2020 as they drop projects and have featured music in the upcoming movie Umoya starring Jason Sterling, a hall of fame martial artist and actor. New Jersey Hip-Hop is going places, be sure you are ready to go with it. Stay Muddy!!!



 
 
 

Sometimes people complain about Hip-Hop due to its sound and how the beats are trash. People say the lyrics are horrible and the new generation of Hip-Hop is disrespectful as hell with no respect for the game or the history of what and where Hip-Hop has come from. Most times people are looking for good music and there are a lot of people out making good music but they have to be found to be bought into the forefront. When found we know many are called and few are chosen. When being chosen to be committed into the sound of the world and the ears of the generation, the draft has taken shape.


D-Train of Perfect Sound Ent. has dropped his long awaited solo project Drafted, detailing his understanding of not only life but the celebration of growth into his new life outside of his dream of playing baseball. Drafted is an album that not only is a turn up but lyrically it not only signals the time to party but to think and give thanks for the life and chances we are given as we strive to be our best at all times. A lot of us come from places where death hits us, and where loss fuels our desire to overcome such tragedy. The album drafted touches those feelings and the wanting to tell all haters and opposition to get back and not to block our blessings as we move forward against those that hold us back.


D-Train also touches on love and fun times as the production and beats had the crowd dancing and nodding their heads to the music. The listening session showed a crowd of listeners being treated to good sounds and the company chosen for this exclusive party did not leave upset or tuned out to the music. The listening party was a success and now it's time for the Hip-Hop fan to chose what sound are they going to draft.


Drafted will bring a lot to the table for its' listeners. You will have turn up Hip-Hop, and you will get mellow Hip-Hop for the lovers. There will be music for the party and pride music that represents love for your city and your loved ones. Part of drafting a sound is not only choosing what to listen to but also taking a sound represents your views of life and putting them to song. When you draft make sure you choose a sound, a Perfect Sound, that represents your life, culture and brand. D-Train has done that and given you drafted to enjoy.
