Detroit's Very Own:: Chavis Chandler Breath of Fresh Air II [12.18.11]

Chavis Chandler of Verbal vomit Entertainment has released his third solo project and is currently working on his Album Tokyo Dreams set to drop this time next year. Chavis is no stranger to Lyrics & Couture and is one of the many Michigan artists who we willingly support here at L&C. Breath of Fresh Air II is the sequel to Breath of Fresh Air (better known as #BOFAII & #BOFA on Twitter) but brings a totally different sound and a transformed Chavis. I advise you to listen to the first tape and then enjoy the second. BOFAII includes features from other artists featured here, Danny Brown, Richy Marciano, Nolan the Ninja, Everyday Jay, and many more.

Detroit's Very Own:: Cold Men Young "Time Bomb" [Visual]

Nocturnal - Checkin In [Visual + Audio] + The single "Checkin In"

The single "Checkin In" has catchy lyrics with metaphors like you have never heard. Nocturnal is famous for his metaphoric flow. "Checkin In" gives way for this along with its smooth hypnotic beat, just enough to get you two steppin and nodding along. Nocturnal incorporates the new wave of technology of Facebook and other sources such as Iphones or MP3 as a way of “hitting him up” appealing to the young and the average person while the drum/piano base beats keeps the attention of the older hip hop fan.
His lyrics invites the listener in, keeps them hanging on his every bar to see what he will connect next. It gives the listener a since that they are in the circle that Nocturnal is one of them and they can chill with him or simply “add him as a friend”.

This track exemplifies an artist that fits right in with the people, one that walks the streets in the community that you may just run into on any given day. Checkin In brings you back to the old feel of hip hop with a refreshing new twist. It’s a people track that the People will be sure to Love. --ISTILLLOVE H.E.R

Their beats are the perfect example of modern hip hop that sees the future while preserving the spirit of the classics all real hip hop fans enjoy. Peep the style, get at your boys, the bar is open for business.

Awon & Karmeleon Beats "Free" [Visual+Audio] "Concentration Gradient" The Album

The 17-track album has a noticeably darker feel than their previous release "Love Supersedes" yet it maintains their traditional jazzy soulful sound. The subject matter is very political and introspective in nature ranging from current events to spiritual matters. Having worked on the album for some time now the duo feel they have constructed a project that will hit a nerve with its listeners. Tracks like "Had Enough" and "They Coming" focus on the pressures and hardships of modern society while songs like "Heaven" take a more positive and forward-thinking stance.

The vintage hip hop sound is still the underlying force behind their music but this project is much more aggressive musically and lyrically. Awon's delivery is firmer and Kameleon ventures into newer territory sample-wise. The result is an album hip hop heads young and old can feel.
