102.7 The Blaze Freestyle Battle (Round 2)

Round 2 of The Blaze "Freestyle Battle Contest" went down this past Friday! The emcee's were Yo Q, Dolo Dollaz, Yung Boi and AB. I would say this round was more competitive. Yo Q kicked it off with a bang and set the tone with AB giving a solid backdoe (freestyle ebonics) Then came Dolo, who was spitting some GREAT bars but seem to struggle with his delivery, which I think is the reason he didn't advance. Yung Boi closed the deal with his flow to end the round. 

The Breakdown

Yo Q and AB were the 2 artists who advanced to the next round. I would say they were chosen right. Its pretty cool hearing these artists spit. Its like watching the Slam Dunk Contest of the NBA because its the most exciting aspect of the game, and to most of us, Freestyling is that to the rap game! Advice to future contestants. Focus on your delivery and confidence, sound like you belong! Also be sure to bring the single that your pushing, you are going to a radio station!! I'm looking forward to next week's round, I'll be listening!! Your A&R Al-B

Watch Round 2 Here!!!

"East Texas Top 4 Bangas" May Edition

KD Ft. Young Black "Make It Work"

Straight outta Tyler Texas, we have KD. I came across a record he released called "Make It Work" featuring Young Black. I must say I am very impressed by this song! Now before I heard this record, I really didn't know about KD, but I DO NOW, and that's all that matters. I love when I hear good records from artists, because I know how hard it is to generate them. The production is hitting hard, definitely will rock the clubs. Young Black gets you hooked as soon as he harmonizes the chorus, which he is known to do! KD keeps the record balanced with some respectable verses. Check the record out below!

MLP Boys - Get It Girl

I must say, I'm glad to see them MLP Boys (Tyler, Tx) is still on it! We all know that they set the East Texas scene on fire with their "Full Of That Drank" record! Seem like they had everybody flooding the bar at the club! Some time has surpassed, but they have still been releasing material. The latest release from them is a record called "Get It Girl" produced by Young Wreck. By the way, artists you might wanna network with this producer, this beat is very dynamic!! I feel like it can get the ladies off the wall or out their seats to the dance floor, in which I believe this record was designed to do! So big ups to them MLP Boys, keep it up!

D Swan - The Stine

"NEW EDITION N***A TO THEY BURY ME"!!!! Those who are not from Palestine, Tx may not know what D Swan is talking about! "The Stine" is the name of this record, where D Swan is paying homage to his area. Once I heard this I thought to myself this could be big! This reminded me of the "Oakcliff, Thats My Hood" joint, not that they sound the same, but due to the fact that it had people all over yelling it, not caring if they was from Oakcliff or not! I've personally seen D Swan's growth as an artist. Dude is a true talent and can deliver outstanding 16's! This song is very catchy and will have you repeating it! Wonder if Adrian Peterson has heard this, who is a Palestine native himself! Ok, had to get that in us Palestinians are proud! But real talk, this is a good look for Palestine and D Swan! Be sure to watch the video too! #ThaStine

Lil Booky Ft. Dirty White & Sgt. B - Get Off My D!ck

By the title of this song, seems like Lil Booky has a strong message for those hating on what he do! Sometimes it be like that and you have to let them know. But all seriousness, this record is banging, a common characteristic of any Big B produced record. Booky holds his own as he gets features from Dirty White and Sgt. B. Texarkana definitely has some artists with some firepower! This track will definitely connect with those who catch envy from peeps who are doing less than them, and Lil Booky decided to put it out there, so you can't hate that!

102.7 The Blaze Freestyle Battle (Round 1)

I have some good news for East Texas Artists! For all those that wanna show their lyrical ability, The Blaze now brings you this opportunity. They have implemented a new segment called "Friday Night Rap Battle" which will allow artists to flow live on the airwaves!  Dewayne Blaq [Dj/ Blaze Radio Personality] and Kayon [Muzik Manager] collaborated and put this together. I like to see people create avenues for artists to get heard, so big ups to those guys!

Now lets cut to the chase, the first round of this battle kicked off Friday, May 3rd. The artists who participated were Mista Jippa, Bam J, Tha Kidd and Z. They did well, seem like a couple may have had some pre game jitters, but that is to be expected, especially when you know you live on the air! The beat that they rapped to was produced by Deshun Swayze [Longview, Tx]  Personally, I'm cool with what I heard, but a lil advice for those who step up to that mic next, TAKE IT SERIOUSLY! You never know who is listening! 

So overall, it was a good look, artists and producers was heard by the people. Bam J and Mista Jippa are the 2 artists that advanced to the next round, so congrats to them!  Upon hearing the initial battle on the radio, I do believe this Battle could grow very rapidly. So support it, artists, look to sign up and get it in!! I have the first round below so feel free to listen to it if you missed it! 

Your A&R Al-B
