Yes, I know I just got done blasting the impersonal way guest verses are often put together in the digital age, but there are also some serious advantages to making music via the interwebs. For example, twenty years ago it would have been practically impossible to get Miami emcee J NiCS, L.A. emcee El Prez and Boston emcee REKS together for a track like "All These Bitches Love It".
As I've written before, as a native Boston boy in many ways the story of my hip-hop adulthood is the story of discovering how much dope hip-hop is coming out of the South. Case in point, Miami's always gravel-voiced J NiCS, who drops one hell of a slow banger with new joint "Wired Up". Listen and download...
I know I'm not the only one out there who grew up with that bias, and if maybe still fighting it now, so whether you're already a Southern fan or someone in need of a conversion, I highly reccomend you check out J. Nics' "Southern Ni**as Ain't Slow - The Tribute".
Each week we will send you a recap of our top stories, downloads, and videos.
