Young Scolla, Rapper Big Pooh & Freeway Take “The Journey” (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/14/11 | Filed under Freeway, Young Scolla, Rapper Big Pooh

Take a supremely mellowed out beat by Royal Flush & Marc Real, add in vocals from the fast rising Young Scolla, the always fresh Rapper Big Pooh and the increasingly lyrical Freeway and you've got some good music. No flash, no gimmicks, just good music. And isn't that why we're here? (Ok, besides the booty, isn't that why we're here?)

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/31/11 | Filed under Mixtapes, SMKA, Young Scolla

It's not always true that when two great things get together they make an ever greater thing (Knicks fans are nodding their heads right now) but in this case when Detroit representer, My City vet and dope rapper Young Scolla linked up with always dope production crew SMKA the result was, well, greatness. "Seconds Away" is what happens when you get people who simply really love hip-hop together. Listen and download...

PHZ-Sicks & Young Scolla Know Both Sides of “Success/Failure” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Richard on 12/10/10 | Filed under Downloads, Young Scolla, PHZ-Sicks

Despite the confident facade rappers do their best to maintain, you never really know if you’re destined for "Success or Failure" till you get there. (Recognizing which is which once you get there… well, that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.) In the meantime, all you can do is hustle to the utmost of your abilities. Listen and download...

Posted by Nathan S. on 09/02/10 | Filed under Downloads, Young Scolla

When it was revealed that Young Scolla's previous effort, the dope "Stare", didn't end up on his upcoming "Tears & Triumph" album we were left wondering how good a record had to actually be to make the final cut. Today we have the answer with his new, smooth single "Apart", a r&b-hemmed joint produced by Rodney Hazard. Listen and download...

Young Scolla Says It’s OK to “Stare” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/06/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Young Scolla

RefinedHype favorite, life-long Detroit representer and reality escaper Young Scolla is gearing up to release his new album "Tears & Triumphs", but before he does, he's sweeping up the cutting room floor and releasing all the tracks caught in limbo; too good to throw away, not good enough for the album. Hence "Stare", a soul-sample based cut produced by Tecknowledgy. Listen and download...

My City: Young Scolla, D is for Detroit (Exclusive Interview)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/18/10 | Filed under My City, Young Scolla

Life has never been easy in Detroit, but the collapse of the auto industry, once the life blood of the city, has left Detroit is dire straits. But from that hardship comes great music and great artists, artists like Young Scolla (whose "Escaping Reality" EP recently became a personal favorite). In the latest edition of our My City series, Scolla talks about how his D-Town home has affected his music and explains that if you're looking for him, Tony Rone's Barbershop is a safe bet.

Young Scolla is “Escaping Reality” on New EP (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/16/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Young Scolla

I'll be honest. I'd heard the man a couple times here or there, the last time on SMKA's "808 Experiment" mixtape, but I had no idea how dope Young Scolla was until I cracked open his new EP "Escaping Reality". I feel like we've gotten into a bit of a "boy who cried wolf" situation in the game. We're so ready to label everything "classic" or "dope" that when music comes along that's actually dope, that's actually something extraordinary, it's hard to put into words. Listen and download...
