Not to Be Taken Lightly

Reinventing oneself is the call of making an artist truly great. A couple of month's ago the artist known as Ipkiss Jr. was putting his touch on underground New Jersey Hip-Hop by being a young spitter in a crew of lyrical tyrants. As he went on to find his niche and voice in the culture, he changed his name to Stan. He released his debut album Unplugged and with it there was a stand out track named Black Sheep. Black Sheep introduced Khalidatnight and stood out with Leaders of the New School type of energy and youthful excitement that helps make Hip-Hop great.

Fast forward to the here and now, Stan and Khalidatnight have dropped a project together titled, "Not to be Taken Lightly". This project is Khalidatnight's debut project and Stan's invitation to the world to know his evolution as MC and producer. This project is the continuation of seeing Hip-Hop evolve from lean sipping to being lyrical punch drunk as the ears are blessed with Boom Bap Hip-Hop with a new twist. Songs like Drill/Supreme (interlude) show how they are different MCs that compliment each other on different beats but on the same track. What's It Gone Be, is a track that is lyrical and takes you to a word play sparring match of spitters that fight for the right to own a track. This album proves that the new generation of Hip-Hoppers are not looking to lean, and lose the art of Hip-Hop. "Not to be Taken Lightly", is a project that shows these 2 artists have grown and still have more to do but the journey of watching and listening to them develop is the genius is looking to hear and see more from them.

Not to Be Taken Lightly is available on all music outlets. Buying or streaming this project is worth the time invested. NJ Hip-Hop is growing and the development of fine young talent is surely happening and it is a must for true Hip-Hop heads to support these young artist take control of their talents in their own time. Enjoy this project and thank us later.

David Bars brings a new feeling to Hip-Hop.

I was introduced to this project by another Mc named Stahhr on Instagram. She was playing a song with Ol Dirty Bastard playing in the beat and I was like WTF is that. She said "If you don't know , David Bars is the truth." Then she did the neck roll to the beat that sucked me in. So I went to Tidal to sample this project and I must say "David Bars is the Truth." Usually when someone gives a talent like a rapper props it is because the beats they choose carry them. That is not the case here with David Bars giving a punctual delivery and putting usage to his vocals to add to the beats he rhymed on not be carried by them.

In doing research on David Bars I saw that he is cosigned by D.I.T.C which is monumental for an up coming rapper and there is a pressure to live up to when legends cosign you. I can tell you songs like "New Breed" and "Still Love Me", "Right or Wrong", and the title track "B.O.B (bars over Bullshit), not only speak to his lyrical delivery but the truth of his look on life in his rhymes.

We hear that the new generation of Hip-Hop does not live up to the bar that a lot of legends have upheld. I am here to tell you that is a damn lie. With artists out like David Bars coming into the light Hip-Hop is in a good place. David bars is more than a Rapper, he is growing into his MC mark but even more than that he is the new breed of this Bronx Hip-Hop movement. Check out his album on all music outlets and look for more to come from David Bars.
