I like to think of Nacho Picasso hunched over his vintage typewriter, plunking away at his latest nard-core (that’s “nerd” + “hard”) gangsta tome. Something like the Black Hunter S, shroomed-up and isolated, but ready for whatever the next day’s sun illuminates. Welcome to the underground rap life.
Big beat rap and Town representation by Khingz. This track is from 2010’s Khake & Khool-Aid. See about it below.

The Skymen crew dropped off this latest single from team member Royce The Choice. “The Conscious” is about keeping your quality game up, a practice the Skymen have turned into a habit. The authoritative beat knock plays against Royce’s un-wasted bars beautifully here. Limited edition rap.

Jay Battle and Leach are preparing to release their sophomore album. In advance of that, enjoy a new track from the Gran Rapids crew every week. “Limb by Limb (Remix)” features bouncy electronic kinetics and fast-rap similar to what was found on GR’s last LP, Saturday Mourning.
