Butch Dawson - "Yada Yada"

My boy Butch Dawson just dropped a new single entitled "Yada Yada". This shit is too dope. For real. He has been playing this song live for a mean minute and its become one of my favorite songs of his, aside from Irongrip of course. A few months back he filmed for a music video, and I hope it comes out so I can take credit for the bottle of Evan Williams he is waving around. Anyways, go check this shit out, because it is one of the best songs you are gonna hear for a mean minute. Word.

Black Zheep DZ

DZ is fucking blowing up. Or has blown up. Either / or. Regardless, he is seemingly getting more and more popular every time I see him, and recently he did some legit video for one of the songs off of his newest album. I am beyond impressed.



If you never got down with Black Zheep, who is also part of 7th Floor Villains, then you are fucking up. His new album is on point. I think all of his stuff is available for free online, so go check that out. Word.

All His Stuff

BuffaLo

BuffaLo is part of the rap crew 7th Floor Villains and is one of my really close friends. I haven't seen him in a minute, but at the beginning of the year he released his first solo tape entitled "Genesis". Buff is one of the more talented guys out there right now, and I think that anyone who is down with chill rap with really like his release. He is gonna blow up real soon, so make sure you are one of the people who are like "I heard of him before he was hot shit". Check it out below. Word.

Butch Dawson

Over the past couple of weeks I have become  pretty good friends with a few dudes associated with the Baltimore based rap crew 7th Floor Villains. One of the many homies I have been kicking it with is Butch Dawson. He produces alot of beats and also raps, and made one of my favorite songs that the crew has out right now:



The first time I saw him play, I think, was at that one Llamadon with the handsome boy juice at that warehouse place. I was wasted, but I remember someone throwing pokemon cards at some point. Since then we have kicked it a good amount of times, and the last time I saw him I indirectly got him to play "Irongrip" twice, which fucking ruled. He makes some really fucking dope beats and also has a really awesome style of rapping. Real original. Real cool. His style is more relaxed and subject matter is less serious and hard, which honestly makes him more genuine in my opinion. Obviously I have nothing against rappers with "thug" content, that is some of my favorite shit, but its nice when people are honest in their music and don't put on some front in order to try to assimilate themselves with some image involved with their specific medium or genre. Shit is real.

You can read some actual article about him here. One of his homies is associated with this blog and you can download alot of villains' material from that. This is his Sound cloud and this is his new album, Champion Ships, which fucking rules so hard. Seriously, check that shit out real soon. You can download his stuff from his sound cloud and also from Dope Blog, so yeah, do that. Hopefully the video for "Yadda Yadda" will be done soon, so keep an eye out for that. Word.
