He’s a rapper that’s just starting out in the Cali area – check out his music video below:

Then again, it could all be just a drug induced haze. I love how Juicy J interrupts the video to hit on two women during the shoot.

His former two mixtapes, creatively named Bullets Ain’t Got No Name Vol. 1 and 2, features copious amounts of gang banging, West Coast street dropping, and references to the wildness of the RSC (Rollin’ 60 Crips) over meandering beats with just the right amount of synths. Delivery is on point, and one can imagine playing this album front to bank while riding in a drop top 67 Chevy Impala in the California sun. If you like his album, buy it! However, Nipsey Hussle did release it for free with the intent for his fans to listen to his new release:

Mike Jones, the ever festive rapper, wishes everyone a happy Halloween: http://zoomzip.clunkbin.com/MikeJonesHalloween/MikeJonesHalloween.htm.

Apparently, this is one of the eccentric rapper’s many traditions.

1) New rappers may establish themselves and gain fame, notoriety, and buzz by rapping a strong verse on an established album by a veteran. Some notable examples in recent memory include Lupe Fiasco, who got a significant amount of buzz by killing his guest verse on Kanye West’s “Touch the Sky.” J. Cole had his career boosted with a guest verse on The Blueprint 3 (a mediocre album, by the way) and on Wale‘s album Attention Deficit. Likely the most famous example of all was AZ’s historically fierce cameo on Nas’ Life’s a Bitch.

2) Conversely, established rappers can jump into new micro-niches of the hip hop culture with guest appearances on tracks that may diversify their portfolio. Lil’ Wayne fueled his rapid ascension to hip hop stardom not only with the incredible amount of mixtapes he put out, but also with cameo appearances ranging from Destiny’s Child to Wyclef Jean. He ensured that his music was constantly heard in both the streets and the radio.

3) Rappers can also form a cohesive group of sorts in which they can feed of each other’s styles and energies. One of the earliest examples of this was N.W.A, which consisted of  Arabian Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and MC Ren , all of which became solo legends in their own right. In the early 2000 era, conscious hip-hop merged with the native tongue movement and inspired rappers Common, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. When you listen to an album like Black Star, you can hear the chemistry between them, the common sound they share and the lyrical ideas that they seem to effortlessly create today. This still continues on to this day (Young Money, for better or worse).

Rapper "Crews" Can Be a Very Good Thing

Just like how transcendent talents in the tech industry often make sweet music together by combining their energy, efforts and ideas together in the start up world, rappers can help each other reach levels that they can otherwise not achieve by themselves as long as the sound is cohesive, the chemistry is sound and (perhaps most importantly) they all actually like each other.

Sometimes before you smile you got to cry
You need a heart that’s filled with music
If you use it you can fly

The Roots – Sacrifice

I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice
‘Cause I’m the only motherfucker that can change my life

Immortal Technique – Leaving the Past

To everyone out there, who’s a little different
I say damn a magazine, these are God’s fingerprints
You can call me ugly but cant take nothing from me
I am what I am doctor you ain’t gotta love me

Brother Ali – Forest Whitiker

Any inspirational lyrics that hit you in the right spot?

Also, Cee-Lo has a hot viral song out – it has gathered over 3 million views on YouTube: Cee-Lo Green – Fuck You Music Video. I highly recommend as it is a beautiful juxtaposition between gospel music and southern hip hop themes.
