[Project] Phresh Ali – ‘Billy Clint: The 1990s’

The 1990s served to be a phenomenal and trendsetting decade for our generation. Decatur native Phresh Ali captures the good times, media and entertainment we cherish from the decade in his latest project release, Billy Clint: The 1990s.

He calls the project his “ode to the golden age of hip hop: the 1990s,” naming it after important 1990s public figure President Bill Clinton.

The 13-track mixtape features tracks from TLC, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Missy Elliott, A Tribe Called Quest, and many more. Ali begins the nostalgic journey with introductory record, “Nostalgia,” which takes us down memory lane as we hear soundbites from the O.J. Simpson trial, Suge Knight’s epic Diddy diss, Wu Tang Clan, the 1996 Olympics and so much more. 

The memories do not end there. Throughout the rest of the project, we hear Ali infuse his own modern hip hop flare with the vibes of the 90s. 

Billy Clint: The 1990s is a beautifully-crafted journey of our childhood and an age we all cherish. Phresh Ali shines through in creativity, musical balance, and substance with impressive work consistently throughout the project. 

This is a project you do not want to overlook! Check it out below.

As the riots and uproar over the death of Mike Brown continue. Atlanta rapper Sy Ari Da Kid enlists fellow ATLiens J.I.D. and Earthgang to create a beautifully crafted record surrounding the issue with, “New Malcolm X.”

BuddahSPK crafts the production, creating the perfect platform for the artists to lay their bars of social issues, racial issues and bringing forth equality and change as Malcolm X would: “by any necesssary.” 

“Still any means necessary, even if it means getting buried…”

The record not only gives us unique, steady beats, an infectious hook, and effortless talent, but lyrical substance needed in this age of music and social issues.

[Have You Heard] ILLClinton – ‘Alive (Don’t Shoot)’

Following the recent murder of unarmed teen Mike Brown and the issues of racial injustice that has preceded, Atlanta duo ILLClinton has taken their stand on the issue and events by releasing a powerful track, titled “Alive (Don’t Shoot).”

Though the duo recorded the song before the recent happenings in Ferguson, Missouri, but the “unnecessary death in our community made the song necessary to spread awareness.”

This is not just another record. On “Alive (Don’t Shoot),” we hear moving lyrics and all-to-familiar issues over the Blake Belair instrumental that move us to not only verbalize our desire for change, but provoke action. 

Check out the record below. ILLClinton is also offering a free download of “Alive (Don’t Shoot).”
