Skyzoo – Feeding Lines
In the forth entry of the Penny Freestyle Series Pt 2, we present “Feeding Lines”. Skyzoo’s new freestyle over Freddie Gibbs’ Madlib produced instrumental “Later That Night”. Sky plays with a back and forth stutter flow, all while weaving his patented storytelling with braggadocio lyricism, as his style has become known for. Do remember to check in every Thursday as the Penny Series Pt 2 continues. For the day one Skyzoo fans who know that when all else fails, lyrics will never be the same.

Eminem Performs At G-Shock’s 30th Anniversary Event
I was listening to Sway talk about his event this morning….Eminem has partnered with G-Shock on a new watch (I guess) and, in celebration, took to the stage in New York for G-Shock’s 30th Anniversary. Plenty of clips to enjoy from the performance if you weren’t in attendance.
Ceasar (@CeasarWhoIsHe) – Not More Than A Child (Video)
Taken from Ceasar’s latest Mixtape ‘While We Wait’.
In this song, he covers a few aspects of life, that are sometimes hidden from the public eye and rarely spoken about. And what some have to live with on a day to day basis.
Whilst also exploring the after effects of this, when domestic abuse and or alcoholism can run rife in the household.
Ceasar teamed up with GiantDwarf productions, a gifted team of individuals that have put their heart and soul into making this video happen.
So from Ceasar and GiantDwarf we hope you enjoy what you see.. but also take something away with you.

Don’t know if anything other than the good reunion of friends will come out of this, but this is as good as Hip-Hop gets (remember how you felt when Nas & Jay reunited on stage? That’s what I mean). I can’t wait for one of these two explains how this came to happen.
