Understandably, DJ Trackstar’s a busy guy, but he’s been holding out on us y’all. We’ve been properly introduced to Wafeek, Vandalyzm, Black Spade, Karim, & Rockwell Knuckles but Nato Caliph has been kept in the shadows. I had to go all the way to Austin to find out about him and I won’t make you guys suffer from not going.
The thing that stuck out to me during his set was that he was rocking the crowd and his lyrics were a little deeper than we’re used to hearing nowadays on a regular basis. That and the fact his wife was right up front videotaping and reciting his lyrics line for line. So after seeing that, how could I not root for dude?
Initially, what caught my attention was her mouthing the words to”: “Outline.” A song about love and family. Heartfelt lyrics and a dope beat = a winner every time.
But outside of that Nato is all about self-empowerment and bettering the community. Normally when you think of an artist like this, you assume that the beats will suffer to highlight the weightier lyrics. Not the case here as the beats will have your head nodding. So check out his latest Power ep and be on the lookout for upcoming projects.
Right Trackstar?

Mixed martial artist Dean Thomas is used to knocking people out. Now, he’s offering to knock out singer Chris Brown for Rihanna.
After he won at the March Badness MMA and boxing event, he grabbed the microphone and told the crowd that it is not cool to put your hands on a woman.
He went on to say that if Rihanna wants someone to kick Brown’s butt, she can call on Thomas to get the job done.
The only thing I take issue with in this post is the first sentence.
*lifts up bus to speak*
@PM, MZ:I hate you guys.
@Everyone else:Nato’s ill. Listen. More to come.
Much deserved credit homie. Keep it movin’!! SAVAGE SUN
@ Flip Keys
How does a man speak on another man’s situation when he has absolutely no clue what went on that night? He has no clue whether Chris was assaulted first or what was said in that car. And under no circumstance am I excusing Chris Brown’s actions (I was never to hit a woman even if she hits you first), but playing captain-save-em strikes me as super bit@@-made. What is he, part of the Morality Militia or somehtin?
Check it on the strength of the EP cover alone…Circa 1990′s Paris, dats wassup!

Shut the fuck up you faggot. I don’t (or anyone for that manner) give a fuck whether she “assaulted him” first you stupid fuck. He punched her, BIT HER, AND CHOKED HER. I don’t care if she punched him in the face, YOU DON’T FUCKING DO THAT. And don’t give me your pussy bull shit “you don’t know what happened” because the affidavit describing the incident is online. “Morality Militia”, really?? A real man never puts his hand on a woman, and your god damn right if I ever saw Chris Brown on a street somewhere I would put his face through the fucking cement until I didn’t feel a pulse anymore. See how you feel if someone beats the fuck out of your mom or sister and no else wants to help or give a shit. Kids these days man, I’m only 19 but my generation is full of punks and pussies, no doubt.
Anyway (whoo, ha) this song is alright, not feeling flow, delivery or tone but it’s not bad.
@ Barry Washington
E thuggery at its finest. Wow! Why you coming at me all sideways? We have just have difference of opinion, right? You can’t express that without calling me out my name?
Maybe I wasn’t clear but I just said under no circumstance should a man put his hands on a woman, I’m really only commenting on a man speaking on another man’s situation and offering to kick his ass with out any facts (affidavit or no affidavit). But alas…smh…
On another note, why you so damn angry? I’ve noticed alot of that going around in here lately? Maybe its the recession. Gotta lot cats around here real tight.
Haha had to go all the way to Austin to hear him.
I’m still tired from the week…..
How come theres no mention in the sxsw warps about Track losing my car keys that were in his pocket the whole time?
