Emilio Rojas may harbor a lot of tenacity on the mic, but he has no “Shame” in his game when it comes to snuggling with his honey bunches of oats. That is, until the woman that he messed with unprotected, texted him saying “she wished she would have kept it” and the one he’s laying next to, looked over and read it. Where do you think his head is now? Read the rest of this entry »

My boo is mad that I’m buzzin’, she’s scared that I’m movin’ on/A stubborn mothaf#cka, I stuck with her just to prove her wrong…

I think it was Maurice Garland who tweeted this awhile back: isn’t it odd how “FTW” (for the win) and “WTF” (what the f#ck) use the same letters to describe completely different emotions? This ain’t got nothing to do with nothing, I just thought that I should mention. Respect to Weezy. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s only one life to live and notice you get no sequel. So you truly have to live it like your last movie. And off the strength of those jewels once spoken by Big Brother Jay, Emilio Rojas is pushing it to the limit in his “To The Fullest” visual. Women, the world and words of wisdoms will make the globe spin off its axis but the Stars & Straps have the remedy to keep it focused through life’s lens. Read the rest of this entry »

You already knew Emilio was going to come extra hard on this. The second he enlisted Catfish Billy and his demolition services to help decimate Green Lantern’s best Andre Young imitation, “Turn It Up” wasn’t only the name of the song, but the lyrical game plan as well.

The most remarkable aspect about overtime in any event is that even with the expected fatigue setting in, an extra effort is still inevitable. Laws brought the pain in the 5th quarter for 5:01 and recruited a couple super-lyrical friends for the remix to “Hold You Down.” Ya know, so you can see exactly what they’re saying.

Mr. Thanksgiving and the producers who do it better the 2nd time, Cookin Soul, come through with another freebie on this glorious Tuesday to make your iPod smile. When is the last time you heard a compilation mixtape that was worthy of constant spins? More than likely it was a CS presentation. And with Drama giving his Gangsta Grillz stamp, it seems like they could be invincible. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s obvious Laws is a fan of the old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” About four months ago, the Brazilian-bred MC let loose of his J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League approved mixtape, 4:57. Since then, homie has been quietly, but efficiently building his brand trying live through on his own self-predicted prophecy as “your future favorite rapper.” Read the rest of this entry »

We’re going to make this short, sweet and to the point. Here’s everything you need to know about this track. Ready? Let’s get it. Read the rest of this entry »

I could watch these Court Dunn videos all day because, as someone once mentioned, he’s the new guy with a different eye for seeing and presenting things. For the latest in his One Shot series with Nah Right, he uses Emilio Rojas as the subject and a strikingly remorseful & personal track that was featured on The Natural. Read the rest of this entry »

“Descendant of condescending, sending a kind of scent
The nostrils get type of sting / a narcissistic kind of thing
I’m often met with harp and strings and an operatic sing
When I walk inside the ring you would thought that I had wings, Read the rest of this entry »

Sensitive thugs please proceed to the nearest exit.

Digga’s guitar loop provides the gravitas for Donny, Emilio & J-Live to wave the Mutombo finger at those who’ve lost their sight while caught in the glitz and glamour.  Although its October release date has come and gone, Mr. Six Figga’s Person Of Interest still appears to be in the works.

While you play catch-up on your day off around the site, allow yourself to back track on a project you might have skipped over. Emilio Rojas x DJ Green Lantern = The Natural. And while you await the freebie to land on your desktop, check out the color commentary he gives to iStandardTV for each song. Reinventing the album credit. Read the rest of this entry »

The rain drenched streets of New York didn’t stop the heads from coming to Illmind’s Blaps, Rhymes & Life IV event at Santos Party House last Wednesday. With the free beer providing my buzz, I ask Illmind who was hosting the event. He gives me one of those dude head nods in my direction. I replied “Fuck it. I’m down.” Read the rest of this entry »

The term “underrated” gets thrown around a lot but rarely taken heed. When Emilio Rojas is described as such, it’s implying that he’s one of the best rappers you aren’t listening to. Looking to change all that, DJ Green Lantern steps in the direct The Natural, an aptly-titled representation on how the multi-lingual-syllabic-spitting MC excels in his field.

Thanks in part to the Notorious movie, Hip-Hop has been fortunate to undergo a Biggie resurrection of sorts on the World Wide Web. The forgotten videos, unreleased music, the B.I.G. comadarie — all have been an invigorating compliment to a legend who basically batted 1.000 in his short but storied career. On this twelfth anniversary of his tragic assassination, some of rap’s active players such as Jean Grae, Emilio Rojas, Uncle Murda and Styles P. have linked up with DJ Drama and red-hot production trio Cookin Soul to revisit a handful of those Chris Wallace classics.

It’s unbelievable. After all this time, Frank White is “Still Notorious…” Read the rest of this entry »
