Philly sensation D Prime 215 releases visuals for “Essence of Authentic”, produced by Mute Won with cuts and scratches by legendary DJ Soulbuck. Prime is picking up where “Essence of Authentic” (2016) left off. His vision is brought to life by Rekkless Life Films and represents Philly in more ways than one.

“Authenticity is the crux of being, including but not limited to being an artist. Being true to who you are is everything. In my case as an artist, that means representing Integrity, flyness, lyricism, Philly & pro blackness.” – D Prime 215

It can be said that Prime’s representation of not only his Philly derived roots but also Hip Hop is authentically captured in each quick-witted lyric, and audiences who press play will experience that devotement.  Prime’s infectious and metaphoric wordplay swarms through the streets of Philly and around signature buildings and cornerstones. The aerial view adds a heightened sense of pride, “life, I learn my lessons from it/As far as the authentic, I’m the essence of it/And if it ain’t here yet, then the best is coming /Look, the honor’s what I represent/ It brought me scars from the decadence /Keep it 100, more than a dead president/ Let the record set the precedent.”

The Rip Mobb release animated visuals for their new single “It Ain’t Safe” featuring Mars Hall with production by Deevyus.

The seasoned MC’s go in on young “Mr. Trash” and his hype men, dumping them curbside.  Delivering polished punchlines over classic Hip Hop thumping bass and drums, The Rib Mobb devour their competition in a true MC battle.

Take heed, because “it ain’t safe” to step to Rip Mobb, “steppin to us nah it ain’t safe you coward f*cks couldn’t bust a grape flip the table and snatch ya plate eat your food right in front ya face.”  

You’re either eating or you’re on the menu…Watch “It Ain’t Safe” below.

Internationally vetted producer Configa, whose catalog of music successfully extends into the U.S, releases an 11-track project titled ‘The ConfigHas Crates’ available on Bandcamp. The album, with HaStyle on the mic also features Hip Hop legends and heavyweights including Sadat X, Rah Digga, Nine, Wordsworth, El Da Sensei, Prince Po, and Chino XL.

Configa is no amateur when it comes to top-scale production and he’s backed by the likes of such music icons as SPEECH from Arrested Development. ‘The ConfigHas Crates’ is no exception to his mastered skill set and can be noted as yet another timeless classic under his belt.

“This is a must-have for all fans of true-school, rugged, boom-bap, and lyrical style Hip Hop”, Configa unequivocally sums up the album. However, as a modest professional he leaves out his superior flex and flawless ability to mix classic Hip Hop cadences with diversified instrumental tones. The result, immense refills on an epically proportioned dose of earmilk.
