Pato "Fireball" Grant, di top shotta from outta West Kingston, wake up inna di middle of a real strange vibe. Him did drop asleep after a long day a mek sure di crew have everything lock and di youth dem get dem share, but when him open him eye, di whole place feel wrong.

Di room weh him deh inna nuh look like di usual spot. Di walls line wid big fancy painting a high-class man dem in suit, and di desk in front a him look like it belong to some high-up boss. Di chair weh deh behind di desk leather and big, like fi some rich uptown general. Pato heart start beat fast. Dis never look like no West End base. Dis look like di headquarters of di Uptown Dawgs, di rival gang weh always a fight fi di big money and di turf control.

Pato look down pon him clothes and feel like him chest lock up. Navy blue suit? Gold chain big pon him neck like a corporate tycoon? Him try fi tek it off, but him hand dem move slow, like dem a fight against him.

Him run to di mirror. Him face still look like him own, but di green bandanna pon him neck, di colour of di Uptown Dawgs, tell him someting wrong. Him try fi shout out, fi bawl 'bout di life fi di youth dem, fi equal share fi di crew—but all weh come outta him mouth was, "Wi haffi protect di money fi di bosses dem."

Pato feel him knees wobble, but him still manage fi run out di room, di hallway long and winding in front a him. Everywhere him go, di Dawgs dem a hail him up, nodding like dem know him as one of dem own. Every time him try fi cuss out, him mouth betray him and chat ‘bout "business deals," "turf expansion," an’ "mek di youth dem wait."

As him move through di place inna confusion, him buck up pon Winston “Big W” Watson. Now, Winston was di man. Di big man fi di Uptown Dawgs, di one weh push all di deals and keep di money flowing. But someting strange 'bout him today. Di usual grim look gone, and instead di man look calm... even, caring.

"Fireball, mi don," Winston seh, clapping him pon him shoulder like dem old friends. "Mi can see yuh a fight a battle. Come, mek wi reason."

Pato still cyaan control him body, so him follow Winston down di long passage. Di warm energy weh a come offa Winston start mek Pato wonder if dis man really change.

"Yuh nah go believe wah gwaan, Fireball," Winston seh, voice quiet like him a reveal some big secret. "But mi nah go lie, mi a go tell yuh di truth. Mi nuh deh pon dis road by choice."

Pato look pon him suspicious. Di same man who lock down di turf fi di rich side a chat like him have sense?

"Mi nuh fi meself no more," Winston whisper. "Yuh ever hear ‘bout Bongo Levi Johnson?"

Pato eye dem nearly pop outta him head. "Bongo Levi from back inna di day? Di legend from Jungle Crew? Di man weh fight fi di people dem?"

Winston nod. "Yeah, mi don. Him spirit a guide mi now. Di system did try fi crush him, but him live on inside a me."

Pato couldn't believe it. Here him deh, trapped inna di body of a top Dawg, and Winston, di big man fi di enemy crew, now chat like him a one a di man dem from back inna di ghetto.

"Yuh nuh affi believe mi," Winston continue, "but mi tell yuh, Fireball. Di fight fi di people never done. Mi feel it now. Di youth dem need a better life, not just turf and money fi di bosses."

Pato still couldn’t believe wah him a hear. But deep down, someting start fi make sense. Winston never did seem di same.

"But yuh," Winston seh, turning and looking deep into Pato eye, "yuh still have di fire inna yuh, but yuh body a fight yuh. Mi can help yuh, but yuh affi do someting big. Someting weh mash up di whole system."

Pato still a wonder wah dis mean. "Wah mi affi do?" him ask, voice shaky.

Winston smile small and lean in close. "Yuh need fi change di game pon dem. Yuh haffi do someting so real, di whole a di Dawgs dem cyaan stop yuh."

Winston lead Pato through di back of di building, into one small room. Inside, sit one elder man wid locks, a scratch some note pon a piece a paper.

"Dis yah Jahman Roy," Winston seh. "Him know di way fi fix dis mess."

Jahman Roy look up, di man eye dem sharp like di razor blade dem use fi cut through di ghetto streets. "So di system ketch anedda one, eh?" Jahman seh, smile light up him face.

Pato barely able fi talk. "Wah mi haffi do fi free miself?"

Jahman Roy lean back and say, "Yuh affi mash up di money deal dem. Yuh affi stop di ting dem weh a oppress di youth and fi di small man. Push fi tek back di transport fi di people. Get rid a di private bosses dem."

Wid dat, Jahman slide one paper pon di table. "Dis yah plan fi mek di roadways free fi all a di ghetto youth. If yuh get it sign, an’ present it, di system nah go able fi stop yuh."

Pato hold di paper tight inna him hand, di weight of di mission heavy pon him heart.

Winston nod beside him. "Mi an Bongo Levi deh wid yuh. Do it, mi bredda."

Pato tek a deep breath and start fi march down di hallway, di paper clutched tight inna him grip. Di other Dawgs dem look pon him like dem confused, but him nuh stop.

When him reach di big meeting, him slam di paper pon di table. "Di streets fi di people. Di transport fi di ghetto!" him shout, voice full a power.

Fi one second, di whole place silent. Den di room start fi move again, but Pato feel di weight lift off him chest. Him did win.

Him wake up inna him bed, drenched in sweat, but free. Di nightmare done, but di lesson? Dat one stay.

📲 Dios Negasi (Reagan Era Records) Drops "Filet Mignon"

[longeyelashedtragedy]

march 2023 favs

some ALBUMS dropped this month!  mc kresha & lyrical son dropped a new album and it slaps! i think their previous one is a little more original but we’ll see. also the first few songs’ music videos are this mini movie whose aesthetic is just. A++++ perfect for me and i want more! some stand outs so far

hustle per burëk (my fav)

shottas n’bmw

süße feat. dafina zeqiri

thug livin

speca me g’z which is...not on youtube yet lol

HOZIER’s new songs: still not sure quite how i feel, (all things end’s chorus has this slightly cheesy 90s r&b feel that’s Odd to me) but through me (the flood) is like, his most Classic Hozier with an Upgrade song to me and it’s so good!!!  I haven’t figured out what i think it means yet but omg his voice on the chorus...like shit who gave him that voice

sister - croatian amor/lust for youth (recommendation from trusted comrade based on certain insta posts)

why am i listening to potpuri vlonjate again 

bergen - pryda

mc kresha’s freestyle (i am as hype as that mc lol) (also why is mc kresha wearing a green bay packers sweatshirt)

beirut - mc kresha/lyrical son/lots of other ppl 

filmi i fundit - mc kresha/lyrical son

kangë e shahirav - mc kresha/lyrical son (untouchable june fav...it doesn’t get better)

stuhi mbi oqean - mc kresha/lyrical son/elvana gjata (i can’t get this out of my head lmao)

batoma - amadou & mariam (heard this for the first time live! and like no recordings will ever compare to hearing them live)

some lifelong favs:

howlin at midnight - lucinda williams (hard to choose a Best lucinda song but this has gotta be like. top 3)

bonden og elverpigen - sorten muld (i talk a lot about how “somebody to love” by jefferson airplane is my favorite song, and i feel like that’s useful to have as a thing to say but i realize this is probably actually my fav song)

floj - eric prydz

ngl i feel like once again i didn’t listen to much this month other than a lot of mc kresha/lyrical son over and over 

OH WAIT! i discovered the “heavy metal of eastern bloc” youtube channel.  that’s for me!!!!!!

baladë per jakup ferrin - djemtë e detit (albania 1995 but sounds like a tribute to venom’s 1982 “black metal” album and i promise that’s a compliment)

shekulli i dreqit’s “apocalipsa” album--i like the lead vocals and this album is fun?  it can’t always figure out what 80s style it wants to emulate, but the production is a little cleaner

the čekam na noć album - dr steel (croatian mid-80s!! fun!!)

Lost in the (Billy) Woods: Ray Garraty’s Year in Hip Hop

Some years, you want to check more new music. Other years, you don’t.  2022 was one of the latter.  As always, music journalists race to name the Next Big Thing, but when you go check it and it turns out Not a Big Thing at all. And the next big thing, you just walk past it.

In the rush to discover something else, people don’t properly follow an artist they discovered a month ago. Yet, often, the artists they gave up mature, get better or even reinvent themselves. Nobody pays enough attention to those artists. We have fewer and fewer listeners and more and more streaming platform passengers. Thus, this year it seemed that nobody properly listened to Louie Ray, Bandgang Lonnie Bands, Chief Keef, even though they created their best music right NOW. For most listeners, they belong to past years.

That is why I was dreading the 2022 end of the year lists. I was sure that we’d get two types of lists. The first would be hype lists, full of Hot New Artists nobody will remember after January 1. The other would be those created by and for a highbrow, white, middle-class public who wants its rap to be “smart.” Thus, we get thousands of lists full of billy woods and the like, which is only good to show your college professor how brainy your music tastes are.

Anyway, 2022 had plenty of good hip hop music. Probably the best music this year was the one we didn’t get to listen to. Boyz Ent, a label holding Rio Da Yung Og catalogue, had some managerial trouble, and despite the promises from the CEO we got only two new songs by Rio (not counting his EPs with Boog and Wayne616). Which is a shame. On to the next one!

Ignorance of the year

Bizarre — He Got a Gun 

ShredGang Mone’s verse on “3 Kids”

Bizarre, of D12 fame, was long ago discarded as a washed up Eminem sidekick by ‘serious’ rap fans. But he steadily releases new music, of the weirdest and goofiest type. Imagine the worst B-movie, and Bizarre will surpass it with over-the-top amount of ignorance.

Mone on his verse claims he robs rappers, and ironically, his partner Lonnie Bands got his chain took this year. One has to wonder if it was Mone’s job.

NLE Choppa: Energetic & Aggressive

NLE Choppa aka Bryson LaShun Potts was born on November 1, 2002, to an African American father and Jamaican mother. He was raised in Southeast Memphis, Tennessee, in the Parkway Village area, and was also enrolled in Cordova High School where he played basketball. He began freestyling with childhood friends at the age of 15 and started taking music seriously at 16. His manager is his mother, Angela Potts, who has been managing him since he started expressing an interest in rap music career. He released his first song, “No Love Anthem”, in March 2018 under the name YNR Choppa. As a follow up he released his debut mixtape, No Love the Takeover. After the surge of popularity, he released his breakout single “Shotta Flow”. The video reached 10 million views in a month. The song entered the radio airplay charts in May 2019. The official remix, featuring Blueface and a Cole Bennett-directed music video, was released in June, shortly after the original song was certified platinum by the RIAA. He released the song’s sequel, “Shotta Flow 2”. The video received 20 million views within two months, prompting Carl Lamarre from Billboard to say that his “recent dominance has silenced any detractors”. It was around this time that it was reported that Choppa had sparked a bidding war between a handful of top record labels, with bids reaching a reported $3 million. Read the full article
