Steady Gang’s February release Arms & Hammers is still running strong, spawning singles two seasons later. The latest is “Gangsta’s,” a DJ Khalil produced trunk pounding anthem dedicated to the gritty red and blue L.A. lifestyle. If my math is correct, this raises the count to 6 total singles, out of a mere 12 tracks. That’s decades of replay value in today’s Hip-Hop life.

The sad thing is that most people still haven’t given this 4 Cig certified release its fair share of burn even though it’s been out for over half the year. But for those of you who did enjoy it, word on the block is that a Strong Arm Steady x Statik Selektah project is cooking in the kitchen as we speak. Coming sooner than you think…

“When Darkness Falls” is hands down my favorite song off Arms and Hammers. It’s everything that is SAS. It’s very obviously West Coast, but at the same time it’s not the prototypical six-four swervin’, hydraulics bouncin’, ole’ English pourin’ gangsta rap that comes to mind with the L.A. stereotype.

After spending years on the West Coast underground circuit, Strong Arm Steady broke through in 2007 with their debut studio album Deep Hearted. It was also during this time that my musical taste, that once bumped nothing but Top 40, had begun its transformation towards the present. Our two colliding paths met in the form of “One Step,” the signature song from the collection and one of the essential Steady Gang records. Read the rest of this entry »

The name Strong Arm Steady holds its reservations of a gun-totin’ squadron that is relentless on the violent content. While the Californian trio consisting of Phil Da Agony, Mitchy Slick and Krondon are far from peacekeeping missionaries draped in social awareness, as an unit, they have a good handle on keeping one foot in the streets and the other in the studio.

SASTV:

“Arms & Hammers: The Foundation is a short 15-minute film about everyday life in the City of Los Angeles. It follows three young men who approach survival differently but all-in-all have the same purpose throughout. The characters by no means reflect the individuals in Strong Arm Steady directly, but more so we believe they reflect the individual in us all, which is the basis of SAS music and Arms & Hammers. I guess you can call it the ghetto’s duality. The film was written and directed by me & my bro Picaso (LAC). We came with the vision beginning to end. It was filmed and edited by LA’s own Calmatic.”
