HiPNOTT Records

HiPNOTT Records is proud to announce the addition of Baltimore emcee Greenspan (@greenspanmusic) to its 2016 artist roster. We first introduced you to Greenspan last year on the JSOUL (@jsoul-aka-black-sinatra) single "Secret Life of Purp" off JSOUL's album The Purple Symphony. To bring things full circle, it was only right for the Baltimore duo to team up again for Greenspan's debut single on HiPNOTT, "Think About April". This track is the first single from Greenspan's forthcoming album, Never Gon' Die, set for release this spring on HiPNOTT Records.

"Think About April" is available today for download as a deluxe maxi-single, which includes explicit, clean, and instrumental versions of the single, as well as the b-side "Secret Life of Purp" and its instrumental.

After releasing EPs with both The Other Guys (The Past...) and Algorythm (Always), Substantial prepares for the upcoming release of his full length LP The Past Is Always Present In The Future with this latest EP, Present, produced by fellow Bop Alloy producer Marcus D.

Kicking things off is the first single, "Party With Purpose" featuring Steph the Sapphic Songstress on vocals. Pre-orders for the EP are available now on Bandcamp. Present drops on May 27th.

After announcing Deep's new solo album Bushwick Beatfeed and in light of all the ass kicking that Bernie Sanders seems to be delivering on the podium and social media, P.SO & 2 Hungry Bros deliver an "Open Palm Strike". Stone Throw's Homeboy Sandman and Brooklyn's Kung Fu Bum, K.Gaines join P.SO over signature 2 Hungry Bros horns with bass, organ keys, and hard drums. P.SO & 2 Hungry Bros serve up some more delicious and nutritious Hip Hop on this #PaleoTuesday.

"Rocapuria" is the first sneak peak into the second Hip Hop Beat Tape by Deep of the 2 Hungry Bros, named Bushwick Beatfeed. Feel free to enjoy the song named after a "Rocking Alcapurria." An alcapurria is a Puerto Rican Cuchifrito made with deep fried yautia and green plantain and stuffed with a meat of choice.

Deep returns with his real hard New York style which has been featured in many independent and Underground Hip Hop albums like Homeboy Sandman's upcoming Stones Throw release, Kindness For Weakness. Deep celebrates a "Quinciñera" with Bushwick, his current Brooklyn neighborhood after the Lower East Side, in Bushwick's Swanky self titled Short Stay Hotel. Each track is a ghost for the different rooms in the two story hotel that represents elements of the currently gentrified Bushwick. Deep employs his signature experimental Boom Bap with Latin Spice to paint a musical landscape and once again pay homage to another zipcode in New York City.

Let's face it, love is a four letter word. Like all the other four letter words, love can mean so many different things depending on the connotation, the situation, and the emotion behind the expression. But how can this short noun/verb make you feel like you're on top of the world one second and then confined within the pits of hell a heartbeat later?

In "Love Ain't Easy" (Sincerely Fay), LiKWUiD & 2 Hungry Bros present the cyclical landscape of the unknown by examining love passed, love missed and love sought after. With the help of Harlem crooner Husain Williams, "Love Ain't Easy" serves as the 3rd installment to the forthcoming album Fay Grim from HiPNOTT Records.

Poppy seeds... because raw rap rocks, right? The urban opiate for the masses (Hip Hop) disseminated throughout the world, comes back to one of its purest forms in this remix of P.so's song, "Poppy Seed", which was produced by 2 Hungry Bros for the HiPNOTT album, Gateway to Greatness.

This time P.so and the 2 Hungry Bros bring former Braggin Rites battle emcee, current fitness trainer, and always rhyme machine gun I Am Many (formerly Many Styles) on the track to expose everyone to the radioactive isotope in Hip hop; LYRICISM over a Hard Beat.

In continuation of #paleotuesday this week at HiPNOTT, we present "Hold That" (Faybles) by LiKWUiD & 2 Hungry Bros featuring P.so the Earthtone King and Donwill of Tanya Morgan. Labelmate emcees collaborate to give you their experience with people that just won't let go. Some things are worth holding on to, that's not the case in the 3 scenarios presented. There are 3 sides to every fable..."yours, mine and the truth." In the spirit of letting go of salty bar owners, clingy lovers, jealous frenemies, or other individuals who do not deserve the time and space of day, "Hold That" (Faybles) offers an escape plan for folks that are just ready to move forward. Tired of being outcasted, misinterpreted or just shut out by your peers? Then here is the gateway to redirecting that energy back to the source...hold that! The 2 Hungry Bros lend their magic by providing a melodic canvas with signature heavy alternating drums and sinister deep loops and chops. Enjoy "Hold That" (Faybles) which will be featured on the LiKWUiD and 2 Hungry Bros project "Fay Grim".

"What Happened to Sandra Bland?

P.SO the Earthtone King and 2 Hungry Bros. collaborate on this heavy banger, featuring LiKWUiD, called "American Apartheid". The two emcees tackle the persistent itch under the skin of America's racism. P.SO questions his role in today's cultural landscape while LiKWUiD shares a story of being pulled over by the police. The two MC's use Hip Hop to vent their personal frustrations in a positive way. 2 Hungry Bros. provide a dark, piano-laced soundscape for P.SO and LiKWUiD to share their views.

HiPNOTT Records in unison with 2 Hungry Bros., P.SO and LiKWUiD will be releasing a series of their musical treats on select Tuesdays for you listening pleasure. #PaleoTuesday

LYRICS:

My crew on a poster

There's troops in the water

Goons by the quota

I groove like a soldier

One move and it's over...

I'm bout to lose my composure

they smooth like a cobra

There's troops in the water

Goons by the quota

I groove like a soldier

One move and it's over...

I'm bout to lose my composure

Game night

Got the Nikes with the clasp on

Black 5 panel wit a Guy Fawkes mask on--

Stage Fright

heard the Python laugh strong

He's a big chicken like,

Foghorn leghorn

Looney and my tunes napalm make you face palm

Arm legga leg pray on this is red dawn

And The Feds Wrong rep strong and there's lead storms Had slave sheets now they handing out Arrest warrants -

Somebody tell me what happened man - - The fuck happened to Sandra Bland

master plan bout to grow like a cancer man, there's a turf war like it's India and Pakistan,

Happenstance, think not why they laughing man so I get drunk, Kung-Fu like I'm Jackie Chan a train car, yeah I'm usually the Blackest man

America, it's the fate of an African

CHORUS

"Yo P.SO why you actin type weird?"

I had an edible, 3 joints and 5 beers

We gonna win the pennant I tell ya it's my year

we the pioneers Sipping on drinks wit my peers

Sometimes I go insane Mind fill up with ideas I be

losing memories Memento like Guy Pierce

The Police lurk through the ghetto and ride fierce

Send a SWAT team at us cause we got on FLY gear

stunting that they hard but they more like a Light beer

over-react arrest a J walker in Riot gear Turn a

wife to a widow they crying with Wide tears

my dear--

Your Hope just died here

welcome young man, American Nightmare

wrong place, wrong time, they giving you

5 YEARS

These fake News Reports Are all up in my ear

As I lie here, I tear, thinking bout my fears
