Pusha T: "Millions" featuring Rick Ross
"You now what happens when G.O.O.D Music x MMG get together right?" Announces Pusha at the beginning of the song. Well to me I can't think of much more other than luxurious trap rap, which dominated the airwaves of 2012. Don't know if this one is much different... I'm looking forward to the demise of this sound in 2013, but at this point I dunno when or if that well occur. Hit the jump for the stream.
[Video] RAJA: "Pistol Syrup"
RAJA aka infinitirock aka the homie, is here today with some new content in the form of "Pistol Syrup". The laid-back, and most definitely lowkey NY beat producer has released countless quality material, at different rates undoubtedly. This is the first we'd heard from him in a while & as we'd expect, there was something special waiting. "Pistol Syrup" is a dope, humming, choppy Hip-Hop inspired track - one that he definitely specializes in. Watch the video, edited by RAJA himself below. Download the track via LFTF. Timing is key, remember that.

[Interview] GrandeMarshall: Grande Ethic
Philadelphia native, GrandeMarshall, may not be on your radar yet but let's just say he's caught the ears of many across the industry. A lot of folks took notice following the release of his acclaimed 800 project, most notably Fools Gold Records, who signed Marshall to their label last October. "I still, to this day, have no idea how Nick & A-Trak heard 800. I just know once they were able to get a hold of me and my manager Frank, they urged us to come thru the office and just talk first and foremost," he says about being discovered by the Brooklyn-based home to artists such as Danny Brown, Duck Sauce and many others.
It's not hard to imagine Marshall's bewilderment on being found, especially after considering the serious manner in which Marshall holds himself. He rarely collaborates with others, and is known for being holed up in his room "burning one, crafting a whole new tape out of FL Studio, or just making beats period."
I first caught wind of the Philly emcee through the likes of ASAAD, another rising Philly emcee from a city who's tenacity and lyrical prowess has always showed strong. From Beans to Cassidy, Freeway to Meek Mill, Philly has always stood up for itself in grand fashion, and Marshall is quick to state that he reps Philly hard as well. Marshall is currently working on a new project for Fools Gold, and is beginning to realize the new territory he's in. In addition to being holed up in the studio, Marshall as added shows at Sanots in NYC, and daily meetings to his routine. While his schedule gets busier, and his profile grows larger, one attribute remains the same, his worth ethic. "I could sit around all day and talk about how much better I am than such and such rapper, or I could go into the studio create some of the best sounding shit."
