Moor Gang/Cloud Nice affiliate Steezie Nasa dropped a brand new seven-piece three days ago. The usual Moor suspects have their fingerprints all over this one: MackNed, Rob Skeetz, et al. And Caz Greez lends bars to one track, thereby closing the circle on two of the Town’s best rap collectives.
Thaddeus David follows up his highly enjoyable NoneTheLess with a new mixtape, MoorThanLess. Hear his take on beats previously assigned to Future, Smoke DZA, Prodigy, and more (I mean, Moor).
You may not have heard Mackned rap, but you’ve probably heard his beats. He’s all over Thaddeus David’s latest, None The Less (scroll down for that), and he’s one of Moor Gang’s in-house producers. Fellow MG troublemakers TH and Steezie Nasa show up on the title track to Mack’s solo album which you can download below. If trap ruled the world…
Thaddeus David has stayed crazy active in the lead-up to his latest album, None The Less. Check past mp3 and video drops here. The new 12-track LP features a gonzo-style cover (above) and is apparently heavily influenced by pizza (see the latest video, directed by Harry Clean of Detooz Films, below). Thaddeus describes NTL as an extension of Trapital Trill “with an elevated twist.”
(Also, who remembers the ubiquitous chain of cheap-o pizza joints in Bellingham called Pizza Time? It’s likely 70% of all dinners I consumed between September of 1995 and June of 2000 [aka my college undergrad years] were prepared by the good folks at “Pizza Slime,” as my college roommates and I lovingly bequeathed them. Here’s to mystery meat and “cheese” you can blow bubbles with.)
Young Diffy and Ju-Ju Twist are two new voices in Seattle rap. Their We Strizzy Boi (which is produced by Moor Gang’s Rob Skeetz) has a September 13 release date. That purple and green haze you see lingering just above the treeline is the trap-inspired nebula come for your soul.
Thaddeus David has been making his move into trap since his last proper release, Trapital Trill. “Dick Chainey” keeps that spirit alive with guest shots from La and Cam The Mac. The artist formerly known as Young TH has a new album coming (NoneTheLess, due September 2) and some fresh threads for sale.
It’s a Moor Gang trifecta on Thaddeus David’s latest single, “Change Your Ways”. This from the rapper’s upcoming NoneTheLess.
Gabby goes H.A.M. over Biggie’s classic. Not many Town rappers I would trust to hold it down over this touchstone, but Gift is one.
Moor Gang foot soldier Steezie Nasa is back with a new EP. Moor Militia marched onto the internets a couple days ago. Get it here and below.
