Birds in the sky and fish in the sea have nothing on Sean Falyon, the rap pugilist who manages to Be Everywhere you can possibly think of at the same time. After his first act of ubiquity gained some traction, the East Coast-born, Dirty South resident decided it was necessary to remind you of his globetrotting abilities. Read the rest of this entry »

I may have mentioned an unbiased love for our Lord and Savior Drew Breesus, who tossed touchdowns for our sins a couple of seasons ago. There were worries that, during the lockout, we wouldn’t hear any words from the gospel of Drew. But fear not, the Saints QB has come out of his own pocket Read the rest of this entry »

Why would anyone settle for less when there’s something better out there waiting for them? That’s the way Shane Eli sees things and that’s what he’s aiming to give listeners with the release of his second mixtape, I Can Do Better. With better production, better lyrics, better sequencing and practically anything else that’s in his control, Eli’s goal is to raise the bar. Read the rest of this entry »

Shane Eli’s The Push came out early last summer and served as a nice introduction for the young emcee/producer, but he isn’t resting on his laurels. Eli recruits Playboy Tre and Rittz for “Let’s Ride,” a percolating ode to rolling out with that special shorty of the moment. In a world where everyone’s trying to figure out how they can give you more, Shane only wants to prove to listeners I Can Do Better, with his upcoming DJ Booth sponsored second album.

Shane Eli Feat. Playboy Tre & Rittz – Let’s Ride

Everybody has had the wind knocked out of them in minor sports scuffles or random acts of clumsiness. Now imagine getting your oxygen belted from your lungs with a lead pole dipped in cryogenic temperatures.

Yeah, the latest audio pamphlet from Stone Mountain, GA’s Big Rec hits you just like that. Read the rest of this entry »

Raj already set the precedence with the conveying emotions swirling around this track. Now, a living scrapbook accompanies the moving piece of poetry that Playboy Tre went out his way to dedicate to the one who blew breath in his lungs. Read the rest of this entry »

“Ready! Ready! Go! Go! GottalilbreadbutIneedalotmore…”

Top notch tracks deserve the top notch video treatment and Playboy Tre said his crunktastical duet with Lil Jon looked like a job for the Motion Family. Read the rest of this entry »

Sean Falyon is at the point of no return…and he’s in the supermarket looking at you buy those Trojan® Fire & Ice joints. He was just at the Sugar Bowl cheering on the Buckeyes and if your laptop has a glare on it, move it out of the light and you’ll see him standing behind you, raiding your fridge. Just face it, Soupy Jones is a human Visa® card and he’s not slowing his roll in 2011. Read the rest of this entry »

Though Playboy Tre is still largely absent from the big stage, he’s been on an unyielding hustle, the fruits of which are blooming now. Though he has yet to see his breakout release, he’s stayed on a constant grind, releasing a solid mixtape, embarking on tour and after tour, and making sure his music is heard.

A little over two years ago, no one knew about Bobby Ray Simmons, the young man who would go on to become known as B.o.B. Luckily, we did and had the foresight to have him headline our Bootleggers and Tastemakers stage. Backed by his small but rowdy band, he proceeded to tear down the stage with a performance that left us as diehard fans. Read the rest of this entry »

If you just so happen to be in ATL this week for…I don’t know…say A3C Perfect Attendance by The Smoking Section, then you should be made aware of another event that’s going down after the West rocks the stage. Playboy “Never Heed The Last Call” Tre and Mr. Sean Falyon want you to get up and grab somebody because it’s nothing but a Red Cup Party. Read the rest of this entry »

If there’s one thing I learned about Playboy Tre from The Last Call, it’s that he has nothing to hide. The man lays absolutely everything out on wax: the strong, the weak; the funny, the sad. But because Hip-Hop is such a macho genre, it’s extremely difficult to be this revealing, especially if it means exposing insecurities and vulnerability. Read the rest of this entry »

If you checked out Playboy Tre’s The Last Call, then you already know that it had plenty of his insightful wisdoms and soul food for thought. But there wasn’t any shortage of his comedic genius either. Noticeably absent was a primetime DJ’s name smackered on the front cover. It’s probably because of scenarios like this hilarious encounter with DJ Produce. (He got that fruit baby!) Read the rest of this entry »

Symbolically, The Last Call could be perceived as listeners’ last shot to board the bandwagon before buddy makes his move toward popularity and acclaim. Tre’s covering everyone’s bar tab here so it’s free to enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »

All aboard the SMKA space shuttle. Aleon Craft has crystal clear skies in his eyes as he blasts into orbit with Mick Boogie & Terry Urban for The Stargazing Soundtrack. With crew members such as Playboy Tre, Mikkey Halsted and several other literal ATLiens, to summarize this as simply a mixtape would be a crime. It’s pure aeronautics. Read the rest of this entry »
