INTERVIEW: Rap Duo Mullage On The Road To Longevity, Not Just Overnight Hype

“Two forces engaged to create a musical collage…“ – Mullage

The year of 2009 saw an abundance of newcomers to the hip-hop world including B-Boi and B-Town, who collectively form the duo Mullage (From The Ground Up Records/Jive). Musically, they bring a different sound and a new flavor to the ATL hip-hop scene with their smooth delivery, mellow style and infectious hooks. Their debut single Trick’N easily became a summer anthem with its T-Pain assisted hook and massive appeal. Riding the wave of their successful single, Mullage has been busy putting in work in the studio, releasing Elevators: The Pre-Album last fall and, more recently, a new mixtape entitled This Is For The Radio. “We’re always working” comments B-Town. “We never know what’s going on in our city because we’re always working”. Yet with all this work, there is still a need to address detractors that would label Mullage the latest “one-hit wonder” in hip-hop. Read the rest of this entry »

Travie McCoy ft. Bruno Mars – Billionaire

Bruno Mars, Travie McCoy

Do I dig it? Yes I do. And for a number of reasons. For one thing, it’s fresh, it’s different and I love the sound of this record. Bruno Mars is making a name for himself on these hooks, first appearing with B.O.B. on Nothin’ On You, now alongside this Gym Class Heroes alumnus. The [...]

Usher ft. T.I. – Guilty

T.I., Usher

I’m trying really hard… really hard to like something off of Raymond vs. Raymond, and this song is decent but the hook is kills the song in my opinion. Seriously, the verses work, the bridge is a winner, but the hook (‘Gon take me to jail’). T.I.’s verse is the saving grace of this track, [...]

VIDEO: Diggy Simmons – Made You Look

Diggy Simmons, Music Videos

There’s a reason people dig Diggy Simmons – it’s his delivery. He’s not trying extra hard to come off as this hardcore rapper we know he isn’t or trying to rebel against the good name his father has built up for him. In this video, Diggy rhymes over Nas’ Made Ya Look beat. I won’t [...]
