By now we all know Wafeek is one of the most multifaceted and capable emcees, so I’ll spare you the fancy intros and get right into it. Fresh off of releasing the TSS x 2DBz x IMKING-stamped Monster: The Mixtape, he’s continuing his assault by following it up with a new track called “Let Your Love Show.” Read the rest of this entry »

At a certain point, there’s a need to cut the previews and cue the main attraction. Wafeek has a proven track record for crafting projects that are creative and connected in theme, ones that tell the story well enough on their own and making our job a hell of a lot easier.

One of the reasons Wafeek is one of my favorite rappers is that he’s the master of many styles. Lots of MCs are capable of doing one thing well—sh*t some of my personal heroes have made millions off of doing the same verse over and over *cough* Snoop *cough*. Much rarer is the MC that shows true range, adept at conveying a full range of emotion and feelings on different tracks or even different verses. Read the rest of this entry »

“Just Go” has been previously released, appearing briefly on Wafeek’s The Aristocrats mixtape. But now it’s back with good reason. Dare I say that once your song makes it to a nationally televised show that’s more than enough cause Read the rest of this entry »

Wafeek’s music has never been short of wit and imagery, making it better visualized and seen than heard. Many of his tracks play like sonic dream sequences than songs, allowing listeners a theater seat to view Feekee’s warped mind in 3D. On “Monster,” the longstanding Force member drops sensational, memorable punchlines dedicated to one of the sources of his twisted approach to musicianship. Read the rest of this entry »

Bunker mentality is what transformed me from a casual Wafeek listener to an outright Wafeek fan. The shared experience — in this case, the cocktail-infused haze of a Hip-Hop show — makes would-be strangers become fast friends in the blink of an eye. Or kick of a drum.

I couldn’t tell you for certain what terrain was covered in the time we b#llshitted with King B#llshitter himself, DJ Trackstar, but I know I walked away with the understanding that Wafeek is much sharper than your average rapper. His quick wit and approachable air are equally reflected in tracks like this, “The Meaning of Life.” His relaxed delivery and ear for beats are palatable like good conversation over cocktails. He makes Hip-Hop sound as easy and universal as the shared experience; where would-be strangers become fast friends over the kick of a drum.

Download — Wafeek – “The Meaning of Life” (Prod. by Mr. Ish)

“The Meaning…” will be featured on Trackstar’s Boogie Bang 23, hosted by Tef Poe. The mixtape should be hittin’ the e-airwaves shortly.

Since we had decent fun and success with Volume 1, we figured we would ahead present The Pack Volume 2 to share tracks that crossed our radar over the past week. No real method to the madness as there’s tracks from Wafeek, Alley Boy, Buff, a Santigold remix of Norah Jones, young old Juvie, Luda, Philadelphia Freeway…you get the picture.

We haven’t been shy about declaring our support and love for all things Wafeek, but giving him the benefit of the doubt on an Auto-Tune project centered around a girlfriend break up…well let’s just say if Mr. West can’t get full support, no one can. Doubts can be put aside however. The confusing yet intoxicating Feekee & the Flux Capacitor is one of the few projects to use the sounds created by Auto-Tune to widen the range of emotions within the music. Oh and there’s plenty of the tongue-twisting, cackle-inducing rhymes from Wafeek we’ve come to expect. Read the rest of this entry »

The minor sh*tstorm that came about regarding Black Spade, Charles Hamilton & “Shinin’” made me go back & pull out To Serve, With Love. Man listen…just play it. Over Spades’ melodic beat, ‘Feek & Rocky dumb out. Read the rest of this entry »

If you thought Wafeek was dropping The Aristocats Mixtape just for the sake of telling his kids he was an internet rapper once upon a time, you’re sadly mistaken. In all actuality, Feekee has been in the lab brewing something futuristically old, based on his current dealings with the fairer sex.

As you probably know you, pussy’s credit isn’t always A-1 just as Wafeek explains here on his first trip back to the future for Feekee & The Flux.

Track managed to send over some pics from the Pangea (comprised of Wafeek & Rockwell Knuckles) show that went down a week or so ago. I missed the opportunity to trek to The Lou but fortunately, the homie Keegan @ the Riverfront Times has a bird’s eye synopsis. Read the rest of this entry »

Words By Patrick M.

From the looks of it, Green Lantern and crew showed Wafeek’s music some love by featuring “The Hollows.” Here at TSS we love to say we told you so, so give us a few seconds to pat ourselves on the backs…

Ok that’s done.

For those who still can’t get enough Wafeek, peep this version featuring Read the rest of this entry »

We know you’re still bumping The Aristocrats, but Wafeek’s still got good good for you. “The Hollows” isn’t is on the tape, but Read the rest of this entry »

GV the Saltine — yo, that “Romance Is Back” track was missing from the zip file. Gotty, could you up it separately or something?

Yes.

Somehow, through the manic movements that were yesterday, track 10, entitled “Romance Is Back,” was left off the original link to the mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »
