Foreign English
Foreign English has just released his Mixtape titled "These Lovely Ashes". Since then the social media waves have exploded with reviews and praises of this project. D Dot Omen and the DMV's Front Office stated "From start to finish, I must deem this a classic mixtape and really calling a mixtape is disrespectful, it’s literally one of the best bodies of work put together I’ve heard since “So Far Gone” and “Who The Fuck Is Jay Electronica?“" Tone P of Best Kept Secret gave his blessings as he is also a featured producer on the mixtape. Besides the critically acclaimed reviews, fans new and old have been flooding social networks like Facebook and Twitter expressing the freshness of the mixtape and how it is officially "Hip Hop in all of it's glory". It has only been one week since "TLA" released and we currently have 104 Downloads and 1500 Plays! Please take some time to listen to the mixtape for free at www.foreignenglish.bandcamp.com

The DMV's Own... Dream Team
http://www.datpiff.com/Dream_Team_DT_Young_Montana_Montana_Max_Ree-Up.m111165.html
"Consisting of 3 members, Khari "Hit-Boy" Harris, Rondell "Montana Max" Brown, and Rinaldo "CaLi" Brown, the three are called the “Dream Team”(DT). With over ten years making music, the group has performed many times in the local Maryland and DC area to as far as Japan. They opened for artists such as Lloyd Banks, Chingy, Soulja Boy, Hurricane Cris, Ginuwine, Sammie, and many more. Being well connected with many producers and having their own studio, the three also have years of experience with many recording programs such as Pro-Tools, Adobe Audition, and Cool Edit. Writing their own music and producing many of their own tracks, DT is on a 24/7 hustle being that everything music related is done within the three. With their own original beats and California, Baltimore, and DC swagger, they have an incredible fan base and are hands down some of the hottest unsigned artists out today."

Guest Blog: "I'm about to holler, WTF is 50 Tyson?" by Sigmund's Dope™
Last night, music heads received one of the biggest scares in hip-hop history. No, it wasn't Kanye threatening to tell someone about themselves again. And it wasn't Dr. Dre announcing his abandonment of this mythological Detox album. It was worse. So bad that there were people declaring to quit their dreams and passions in the music industry if this particular situation occurred. Anarchy was about to ensue on Twitter as this tweet nearly broke our hearts:
RT @AtIanticRecords: Congrats to @50tysonofficial on signing with Atlantic Records Welcome to the label!
.........???? mwahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahaha.
Along with thoughts of Atlantic Records declaring bankruptcy after all of their artists trashed their contracts, I thought to myself "who the f@%$ is this dude to where he can even be considered as an act that is worth the investment? Even though this situation was slated as a rumor, it has to be the publicity. And for this reason, I hate the public.
Back in the day, 50 Tysons symbiotic father Curtis Jackson, aka "50 Cent" used an impressionable marketing strategy that kept his name in the mouths of anyone relevant in the industry. His "How to Rob" track basically named everyone that he would stick-up if he had the chance. This tactic got him announced at Jay-Z's concert when Hov opened up with that infamous line: "I'm about a dollar, who the f@%$ is 50 Cent?" At that point "Fiddy" won, we were sold and the rest goes down in hip-hop history. Now we are in hip-hop hell.
It's terrible enough we have the Waka Flockas and the Gucci's and the Lil B-list of completely unnecessary, no-base rappers in which labels have felt the need to invest. I understand being that a huge portion of the public are brain dead so its an easy sell. I get it. But how would anyone even consider signing 50 Tyson, let alone putting a camera in front of him so he can "nig out" and claim himself as someone to look at? Yeah I heard that the guy has autism and folks feel like he should get a pass....but so? Would you let a blind person drive your car, out of fairness? Since people feel like things should be fair, how about this: Lets give all the blind people keys to vehicles and let them drive wherever and whenever they feel like for a day. Just let me know the date so I know to stay home.Don't get mad. I'm sure if you're reading this you're not blind.
Cruel, I'm sorry but understand the psychosis here. Rap music today is just like a bunch of blind people driving. And somebody gave 50 Tyson a set of keys! Where hip-hop used to be real-life streets and highways, it has become a closed course for crash dummies. I don't want to take the first exit to the nearest rest area, but I'm beginning to grow tired of the gimmicks and as an avid lover of hip-hop music, the drive is becoming harder and more dangerous. Why?
Because. A blind person can't see what's behind them (a rich hip-hop history) nor what's in front of them (the impression they leave on hip-hop future).
Go on and marinate on that for a minute.
