Redgator Noe - Gator Cypher (Response)
New Orleans east side rapper Red Gator drops a response cypher over CrackTracks audio for the 2014 NOLA Hip Hop Awards cyphers. Although guidelines play a part in the non participation of some, Red Gator dished his own version for entertainment. "All love," he assured, going on to detail his self confidence as a rapper, and cheer others in the crescent to do the same.

BIO
Mac (born McKinley J Phipps Jr., July 30, 1977) is a rapper from New Orleans’ third ward, and would grow to be the most critically acclaimed on Master P’s No Limit Records, both as a solo rapper and as a member of the 504 Boys rap group. He released his first album under the name Lil’ Mac in 1989 at the age of 12, the "Lyrical Midget," receiving production from the then unknown producer Mannie Fresh. Mac would later join the Psychoward, a New Orleans group consisting (at the time) of more than 25 MCs. Psychoward was known (especially in the city) for having a sound that separated itself from the usual Bounce music and gangster/hustler lyrics that typified most of the New Orleans rap scene, rather focusing on lyricism and a sound which could be described as a New Orleans Wu-Tang Clan. This made them favorites of local "hip hop heads" who often prefer this style to other local acts. In 1997 the group released their debut, "www.psychoward.com" which is considered a classic by many. The standout on this disc was Mac. During this time, Mac made numerous appearances on local artists’ albums - notably two verses on B.G.’s classic Chopper City- and he caught the attention of Master P, CEO of No Limit Records. Mac’s first No Limit appearance was on Kane & Abel’s debut, The 7 Sins. Mac’s own debut on No Limit came with Shell Shocked, an album considered by many to be one of No Limit’s best. Mac gained a reputation as one of the south’s (and arguably all of Hip-Hop’s) best lyricists. His lyrics display the somber realism and maturity that is a mainstay in much of Southern Rap as well as the lyrical dexterity of his East Coast counterparts. This album also followed the typical No Limit album formula: the deep, introspective tracks mixed in with up-tempo tracks, and a heavy presence of guest features from No Limit label mates.
Mac’s next album, World War III, came on the "downslope" of No Limit’s fame. It came after Beats By the Pound, No Limit’s in-house production team who are often credited with making No Limit the empire it was, left the label over purported money disputes, along with much of No Limit’s roster. This may have been a blessing in disguise though, as Mac’s lyrical skill was allowed to shine through on production more suited to his style. This album is also more introspective than his previous effort.
On September 21, 2001 Mac was convicted of Manslaughter charges for the death of Barron C. Victor Jr. Though Mac maintains his innocence, he is currently serving a 30 year prison term.
Popular New Orleans Rapper Shorty Releases New Single “Weekend”
New Orleans rapper Shorty collaborates with fellow hit-man T3, on his hot new single "Weekend." The duo blazed the charts previously with their hit “Tipsy” and the tone is already set for this new, high energy single to surpass that success. Since announcing official release date, Weekend is becoming one of the most requested songs in clubs, and on the radio.
What Shorty brings to this KC Da Producer banger is sure to attract international mainstream buzz. It has a genuine feel good vibe that I think will own quite a few South Beach, Myrtle Beach, and of course NOLA nights. With over a decade in the game, the Uptown New Orleans native promises to deliver hits and longevity, for many years to come.
“Weekend” will be available for download and purchase on iTunes on November 4, 2014. DJ's grab it on ViRDiKO now.

Hitz International recording artist BlockBurNa Blaze releases his debut mixtape featuring powerful artists like 3D Na'Tee, Mr.Meana of PNC, Jaze',Jay Jones, J-dawg of Black Menace, LoKey, Kevin Styles, and more. Signed as a teenager to New Orleans based powerhouse Big Boy Records, Blaze was one-half of the popular rap group BlockBurNaz, that put the term “Work That Thang” on the map. I definitely enjoyed this compilation beginning to end.
MIKO Dreamz PR says, "Blaze combines his crystal clear style of uber swift rapping with a crooning R&B, funky type of singing. No Reservations has been described as one of those albums you can put on and play all the way through – it’s just that good!"

The Marrero rapper pays homage to his city, his peers, fallen soldiers and Westbank pioneer MC Thick. This young man has really come a long way in a short period, and I look forward to watching and/or helping him grow.

Rich Semere x E.D. NIX - We Should Be In Love
I've been anticipating some new Rich Semere vocals since the 909's and Valentines EP. He told me it would be intense, and judging from this appetizer, I'd say we're in for a tasty main course ladies! Fellas it's dope just listen. Joined on the track is partner in rhyme, new age hip hop film student E.D.Nix. The two are gearing up to release what sounds to me like career launching projects under the Grande Scheme/FCC umbrella recording between Inner Recess, New Orleans and Padded Cell Studios in Baton Rouge.
Follow @RichSemere @EDNix and @InnerRecess on Twitter for updates on upcoming shows and projects.
