Aztek the Barfly originally one half of the Rising Sunz is the newest addition to the United States of Mind crew. Having traversed the Detroit hip-hop scene for some time, Aztek has made all the right rounds and has been featured on many of the cities most acclaimed & favorited projects as both emcee and producer. The Barfly is currently grinding out a couple of long overdue releases which is why we present to you…The Warm Whiskey Sampler!… a sampling of what kind of musical shots the Barfly is downing. Similar to drinking whiskey without ice this sampler is quick, sweet & easily downed at first…but as all good barfly’s know you exhale pure FIRE!


5iLL – “King Heron” *NEW VIDEO*

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

5iLL can rap, produce,skateboard, draw & video edit????? yep KING HERON commence!

“a straight vinyl-wrecking, break-chopping hip hop beat tape. Skatter Brain Fokus is exactly that. It’s a one-take rendition of unquantized beats created with “little editing”, which would lead one to believe that it might sound sloppy and choppy, which it does, but in all the right ways. Much as the cover art might suggest, it’s a collage of scratchy samples, breaks and ideas that in most cases begin in utter havoc only to eventually sort themselves out. When the beats reach clarity the results are head-nodder after neck-snapper, with grooves aplenty and lots of sounds saturating the headspace. The snippets are wonderfully chosen and the arrangements are ramshackle and wonderful, making the idea that these were created with very little time or post-production both believable and intimidating. 5iLL makes something that some producers take special care to create look like an afterthought (or not a thought at all). Check out 5iLL and the rest of his United States of Mind family, who are bringing a fresh viewpoint to the Detroit hip hop landscape.” ~ Rare Frequencey
