Fire Pick of the Week
Week of September 3, 2018

Lots of new music coming out this summer!
Thanks for continuing to support indie rap music and the Rap Attack DJ’s. Here at RapAttackLives.com, we strive to bring music to your attention that you may not know about because it’s not been fully released or doesn’t get much, if any, radio play.
The United States has been going thru a transition period in recent years, moving from a no-you-can’t-smoke-marijuana-cause-it-is-illegal, to a somewhat more accepting society who says yes-you-can-smoke. All three west coast states, plus Nevada and Colorado, have made marijuana legal for recreational usage. In hip-hop culture, marijuana has been a mainstay for a long time. Artists like Snoop Dogg and Cypress Hill, for example, have led the charge for legalization. This week’s fire pick continues to deliver that message.
Our friends from Seattle, aka The High Children, are back this week. Jayson (aka Binary) and Jamal (aka Mr. E) are carrying that marijuana leaf flag really high (no pun intended). They just dropped a brand new single titled “420 Ohh”, and it is a dope cut!
Produced by THC, the cut starts with the legendary NASA space countdown but when they're at 4, it skips 3, goes to 2, then 0, then right into some tight scratches and a cool horn riff layered over some boom bap drums. Straight up Hip Hop is all over this track, from the boys’ super tight flow to the smooth beat banging behind them.
This is another winner from the crew that already brought us #1 hits like “I Feel”, “Underground DJ’s” and “It’s Amazing”. Stay tuned for more incredible hits from The High Children!

Go grab it if you can.
If you need it, DJ’s, let us know! We got ya!!!
Til next week . . . Peace!!

Two things that happened in the past week hit the Hip Hop community hard. First off, Mac Miller passed away, too soon, unexpectedly.
Second, Eminem is back with a release of songs that remind many of how Marshall came out the first time around, way back in 1996.
22 years later, Em is back with a vengeance. His 10th album, “Kamikaze” (Aftermath), was released with no prior announcement and hits many of today’s current radio rappers right in the grill.
This album is full of diss lines that have sparked a ton of talk across the social media world. The title cut attacks Drake as well as all white rappers. On “The Ringer”, Em disses Vince Staples, Joe Budden, Lil Yachty, Lil Pump, Lil Xan, Charlamagne the God and Donald Trump.
Throughout the album, Marshall goes off lyrically on so many, taking us back to the raw Eminem days, when he really didn’t give a cr*p. Well, seems the old Marshall is rearin’ his mad face at everyone.
Personally, I like “Kamikaze”, “Lucky You (ft. Joyner Lucas)”, “Stepping Stone”, “Normal” and “Not Alike (ft. Royce Da 5’9)”.
This one is already breaking Billboard records.
Congrats to Em for dropping a bomb on the culture!
We needed it!

Underground Hip Hop IS a thing! Hip Hop IS alive! I promise, you keep tabs with me, I will alert you to the hot music out each week!
This week we have a veteran MC who has dropped a new single for our listening pleasure. Out of Long Island, NY, MC John Jigg$ teams up with a duo from Cambridge, MA called N.B.S. Both rock on a track produced by DJ Supa Dave titled “Barz Ova B.S.” (White Label).
This track has all of the elements we Hip Hop heads consider to be the essentials for a “real” track! Dope sample, laced with boom-bap drums, layered with hard, conscious lyrics. John and N.B.S. lace the beat with their mental lyrical flows, painting a picture of the work they put in for the culture. It is a straight head nodder!
I want to shout out John Jigg$ and M.J. Savino (International writer and journalist) for hooking me up with this fire track. You can hear this and many others on my show, The Coast to Coast Hip Hop Show, every Friday at 10pm EST/7pm PST, ONLY on www.ewaterradio.net.

Go grab it if you can.
