I am just gonna jump right into it. The mixtape will be available on http://www.datpiff.com/ Sunday. Locally in Delaware you will be able to pick it up at Wonderland on Main St. in Newark, One Stop, Skip's Book on 4th St. (Wilmington), Cave Man Apparel, Sam's (Newark) and at all the local hot barbershops in town.
The CD itself is a must have. I will not 'ruin' the skits for you by reviewing them nor will I give away a lot of the songs content. I will speak on SOME OF THE TRACKS.
From the beginning of the CD, you can get a chilling view of what is to come. The beat comes on and Shizz gets right to work. (R.I.P. Art) Lets you know who is on board with some shout outs. Props to Matty Gate$ and Bran for the order of this joint by the way. It is perfect. Nothing seems out of place. If flows. Skits are on point and all of that.
The CD starts off with two Rick Rock beats that set the stage of what is to come. 'Pay Me' is a song that is kinda near and dear to me 'cause I had a chance to hear it early. It features the person I am happy people will finally get to hear. Keena. Shizz does the hook and spits fire. Then out of nowhere it seems, Keena comes in and puts the nail in the coffin. Only to have Shizz come right back and pull it back out. The beat is BIG. Big like you would think a 'known' producer did it. Well, if Rick Rock keeps doing beats like the ones he has contributed here, he will be known. I will remember his name for sure.
'I Got It' is next. This is a banger produced by Sap the Beatman. He is next and the song is a winner for sure.
'Oh Let's Do' It is an 'freestyle' by none other than Clark Bar and Chuck50. They DO what was supposed to be done over that Wacka Flocka beat. Spit hot fire over it. You can feel the emotion in their words and they spin a tale or two on how they get down.
'Rapstar' is another freestyle. This time over Gucci Mane's beat and starring Shizz Nitty. If you are from around here, you KNOW EXACTLY who this song is about. There is "Facebook" story behind this joint that I promise I am going to get Shizz himself to retell one day for me on 'record'. I watched it unfold but I want him to tell you in his words. Or you could just listen to the song and pick up the clues. Definite diss record and surely not made up.
'How 'Bout It' is a song that PEEDI CRACK wanted to get on. That is all I am going to say. That should tell you everything you need to know. He ASKED to be on the song. The song is fire. Period. The song was fire BEFORE he got on it actually. 5th Ward & Shizz did their thing. It is flames now.
'Snap' features Clark Bar (As I call him 'The Voice'. Just listen to him rap. You will understand.) on the hook with Shizz spitting.
Clark & Keena are up next to give you a whole new perspective on a Rihanna song I hate honestly. I literally never listened to 'Rude Boy' more than once. I left it be. As a result, I didn't KNOW what song it was they killed. I had to look it up. They completely redid the hook and all of that with great results. "I'm Back"
'Bad Bitch' featuring Shizz, Chuck50 and Keena is just one of those songs that shows you they are into more than just one thing. I think Chuck50 might surprise a few on this track. Keena once again damm steals the show and Shizz does what Shizz does.
'Shake 'Em Off' is a track that I have been ranting and raving about for months. It is a song with production by Jahlil Beats. It is that good to me. Club banger. I could see the 'shakey girls' coming out to this joint right here or people leaving the bar to get their 'steps' in when it comes on.
'Hugs and Kisses from the Girls' by Sap the Beatman is SELF EXPLANATORY. Production AND rapping, Sap puts it down. He has a surprise for you later on though when he gets FREEWAY and Shizz Nitty to join him.
'My Life' by Chuck50 is a CHUCK50 AT HIS BEST. He is an killer. On the track that is. His lyrics will put you RIGHT THERE with him no matter what the subject matter. Same with Clark Bar. They both display this on 'My Life', 'Always Strapped' and 'Exercise'.
Shizz Nitty and P-Dot go in next on "BMF"....
All We Do Is Grind featuring Chuck50 and Shizz Nitty is a where you can see just why 'Chuck50 and Shizz' are down with each other. It shows on this track.
'Yamz' is JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS. Good. And yes it is about 'that'. Shizz and 5th Ward are talking about what they know.
"True Story" shows you exactly how Clark Bar gets down. If you have never heard him independently of the others, you should peep this out.
'Sox In Da Air' (Remix). The original started THINGS OFF for this last push that Shizz Nitty and OT Records got. Getting an official co-sign from the Philly Flamer, Meek Mill (Philly...215) just solidified that. This is not some 'added on' verse either. No need to wonder if he has been around 'OT Records' or was it a one time deal. No. (That's all I can tell you right now. Be patient.) He came through and RECORDED THAT JOINT FOR THE SONG. It also shows you how talented the other artists on the track are as they are not outshining each other. Everyone HOLDS THEIR OWN ON THAT TRACK. Period.
'100' just lets it be known. Period. Keyz has a nice track on his hands and Shizz puts his magic touch on it to finish it off. I'mma start calling Shizz 'Joe Hooker' if he keeps this 'hook' work up.
The whole crew will be LIVE in the studio. Ask all the questions you have been wondering. Where to get the music. When the album is coming from Shizz Nitty. What is good with Chuck50, Clark Bar, Keena, Sap and 5th Ward. All of that.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A PUBLIC RADIO SHOW. While OG Nitty and them LOVE COMMENTS, they will 'bang it on you' (hang up) if you come on air cussing. I can't stress this enough. No topic is off limits though. (This is not the 'get indicted hotline' though so please USE COMMON SENSE WHEN YOU CALL UP THERE YA'LL.) All of my Twitter fam and Facebook fam who are wondering 'Just who are these cats Carolinaware keeps talking about?" You can listen today and find out. All of you cats who used to live in Delaware that no longer do and are saying 'Is this really as big of a situation as he is saying it is?" Come tune and FIND OUT! That's all you have to do. Hell, call in and ASK! Come see about 'em.
Mixtape to be released July 30th, 2010...I repeat...July 30th 2010.... People in the Tri-State have been asking when is OT Records going to put out another mixtape so here it is.
Featuring Shizz Nitty, Clark Bar, Chuck50, Keena, 5th Ward and Sap The Beat Man....Hosted and mixed by OT Records DJ Bran. With special guests including Meek Mill, Freeway and production by Jahlil Beats (Tyga, Chris Brown, Meek Mill, Young Chris & others), Sap The Beat Man, Rick Rock, Castro and Mr. Parker.
(Nods head) I am waiting on Chuck50 to do his thing. This is the same joint I put up earlier with Clark Bar with Chuck50...Just listen to it. They'll tell you what it is...
(Right to left)Chuck50,Matty Gate$ and Shizz Nitty of OT Records
Maybe this will help you see what I am seeing in Clark Bar. This is fresh off the stage. Just watch it and peep the emotion. He spit this and the whole room froze and stood at attention. This was NOT SHOT BY ME. It was shot by Kam-Man Ike for OT Records. Just so we are clear on all of that. I was too busy listening to pull out my camera phone to record it...
Speaking of OT Records.... Sox In Da Air (Shizz Nitty) has a remix that was done by none other than Punjabi MC. You might remember him from doing this song here...With Jay-Z. He has also worked with Twista and others. He REACHED OUT FOR THIS SONG to remix it. Take a listen. It is slated to be released 'across the Pond'. International now are we? Word? Okay....
Let your ears be your guide. By now, if you are a person who comes here 'on the reg' (Shout out to you down there in Orlando. You too in down there Chesapeake, Virginia), you have seen me post about this record label. You see the songs. The videos. So I know that you 'know' about them. Others come here too though and this is for them.
The people that are peeping the blog at work and then revisit it when they come home looking for records by OT Reords? I see you. This post is for you.
(State of Delaware employees especially. My IT guy would look out for me too when I was there....) This post is for some of those people.
The kids that are 'away at school' but keep hearing about Shizz Nitty/OT Records and want to find out about him. This post is for you.
The music snobs that follow me and want to know about the 'other' music I listen to. This post is for you.
Finally, the people who use every search engine known to man, looking for one song but end up only finding another. This post is for you.
All the songs I have posted/talked about are here in one post. So now you can really do your research and see what these cats are all about.
The cats that went to school with Shizz and are thinking "Damm, is Izzy hyping the dude up or is he REALLY doing what he says?" This post is for you.
Hopefully, this will help you find all of the tracks you are looking for. I just took the top searched songs and put them in one area for you. I even posted up some videos to give you a little background history.
Before I get into this too deep let me drop a name on you. Kina. Just remember it. When you hear her spit, you will know why I said it.
Here is their newest song. I had the privilege of listening to this joint (along with a few other bangers) before it came out. This damm song should be on the radio. If you listen to the radio, ask your local station to play it. If you live in Delaware, DEFINITELY call up your radio station and request it. Matter of fact, ASK THE STATION THAT 'Supports local talent' just why Shizz Nitty is NOT ON THE SPRING CONCERT lineup at the Grand Opera House? 'Cause he should be on the bill. Call them 302 622 9557 ask them to support this local artist.
Speaking of Jahlil Beats, here is some 'throwback' footage. Just look who is in the video and all of that. Then connect the dots. I wasn't just putting cats up here 'cause they are cool. They ALL HAVE TALENT and it is coming out. Shout out to Jahlil Beats for doing what he is doing and putting his city on the map too (Chester). He is over there showing the World that it isn't just point guards (Jameer Nelson & Tyreke Evans) that come up out of Chester. Working with the likes of Fab, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Tyga SouljaBoyTellem and the like.....Oh and FYI..It is 'Jahlil beats, holla at me!'..not 'Jungle beats..'..Just a heads up.
OT Records down Delaware State with Meek Mill at the E1 presser...Chuck50 and Clark Bar showcase their skills on the microphone as well.
This STILL might be my favorite Shizz Nitty track. (Shake 'Em Off withstanding) This is the Shizz that I know....lol Stand Up Man- Shizz Nitty
I Be Getting Money- Meek Mill ft. Shizz Nitty (On the Flamers 3 Gangsta Grillz album)
Go to Dat.Piff.com and look up OT Records name for more mixtapes that they are featured on. I only put the ones that I spoke about here/that the company itself put out. The label has more songs/videos out than this but some of the ones I featured have some special surprise additions to them. So I won't post them up here yet until those things are handled. Again, let your ears be your guide. Give the songs a listen. You might shock yourself and be surprised that you like what you hear.
* The boy Shizz, Clark Bar, Chuck50 with DJ Bran on the wheels performing "I Got It"....
As you probably have read by now through the previous three posts, I was in Dover, Delaware on Friday. THE MAIN REASON I was in Dover was to cover OT Records signing to E1 Records. Please see the search box to your right and type in OT Records or go to the labels section of the blog. You will find PLENTY of information to catch you up on who they are and what they do.
Now the young man pictured up top pointing to my camera right there is none other than Matty Gate$. (Standing next to none other than CHARLIE MACK. Yes, THAT CHARLIE MACK. First out the limo...Co-producer of ATL....) He is pretty camera shy (sometimes) but he is the man behind the scenes for OT Records. I may have mentioned it before but at his behest, I have kept a little quiet about him. He was a MAJOR reason today happened today. Not just for the label but for me. So this is my thank you to him. In public.
Who is the young lady? None other than Skylar Mays. Read more about her here.
I am about to test some of ya'lls music knowledge and see if you can identify the man on standing next to him. He is no slouch AT ALL so you SHOULD KNOW HIM. Especially if you are from Philly. I won't scream his name 'cause he just happened to be in the picture and was pretty clear that things were about the artists today. Not him. So we will move RIGHT ALONG and keep talking about OT Records. This was just to show some of you 'doubters' out there that yes, SHIT IS REAL. It is really happening and people aren't making stuff up, hyping it to be something it is not, jumping in photos JUST BECAUSE or any of that other phony 'hype' that people love to generate. It is all real.
To quote Shizz..."Business over sucker shit...". On to the performance.... I have to admit that I missed the introduction of the aforementioned artists so when I came into the 'room', they were already getting down. This is what I walked into.
Shizz going full throttle on the mic. He was on point too. Very relaxed but kept the crowd into it and the girls loved him. Damm Casanova ass...The crowd was doing the call and response thing and you could tell he is hitting his stride with this music thing.
Chuck50 got on the mic and DID HIS THING. Prior to this, I had only seen Chuck perform on tape so I was definitely in critique mode. It is what I do. I have nothing but praise for the young man on the mic. I always look to see if what I am hearing on 'record' transfers to what I see when I watch a person perform. He did not disappoint me at all. I got a chance to ask him when he was coming out and he did the SMART THING. He referred me to Matty Gate$. (Chuckles) Balls in your court Matty!
Having only 'heard' Clark rap but having SEEN HIM act his ass off in the Rennie Rox made "Game of Death", I REALLY WANTED TO SEE HIM RAP. I was told he was a beast. I get that a lot so I like to wait and see. I am glad I got to see it. That same star quality that came leaping out at me on the screen did so on stage. He says he is 'working his way back into stage shape' but what I saw was a hungry MC ready to get things done. He was SO READY WITH IT that he got off stage after the performance and got into this NASTY FILTHY freestyle on the side of the stage. I WANT THAT FOOTAGE. (It is coming, don't worry. I am gonna get that joint.) The animation, the lyrics and the flow came together something lovely on that freestyle. It was one of those 'You stop what you are doing and watch 'cause something special is happening over there...' type of moments. We all just stopped our conversations and watched him do work.
Understand that this performance was NOT ANNOUNCED for had it been, it would have been chaos. Hence the 'room' you see in the room. Special invited guests and a little word of mouth RIGHT BEFORE they were to go on. I would feel remiss if I did not explain why the room looks the way it does. After talking to the members of the crowd and the Del State SGA (They are the ones who 'host' such events at the school), I was able to confirm that this was the case too. So this is not speculation. It is fact.
The picture below is the part of the performance where Meek and Shizz were doing "I Be Getting Money"..This track is featured on Flamerz 3
*I didn't want to fanboy too much and since I gave my photographer REALLY LATE NOTICE, he was absent for this event. My apologies on the lack of professional pictures from my end and the minimal pictures period. I was on my information grind too much. Next time, I got ya'll
This is HUGE news. As you probably already saw, Meek joined OT Records at a show VERY VERY RECENTLY so you know there is a bond there already. Big co-sign for the boys at OT Records for sure as you know talent recognizes talent. You will hear this track EXCLUSIVELY on the DJ Difference Vol. 7.5 'Can't Stop'. This song was ALREADY a smash hit in the Tri-State. With the addition of Meek on the track, it takes a track that I honestly thought couldn't be taken any higher to another level.
So by now, if you follow me on Twitter, listen to the radio here in the Tri-State area, READ THE BLOG, or been to my barbershop, you have probably heard a lil something from OT Records.
'Socks In The Air' vid...
Well the label outta Delaware now has A LOT OF SOMETHING for you to hear.
Confession time. Up until this point, I had only heard Shizz Nitty spit for the most part. Watched him go from a cypher rapper, to an "I want to be heard' artist to just a 'a problem period'. This was my first time getting to hear the whole roster. Together. As a package. Not lil freestyles in the street. Heard some things about Chuck50, 5th Ward and Shawn Bone but not them by themselves or featured on a record. Karter? Had not heard her spit at all. Mr. Dicer GOES HARD! Well, I can now say with certainty that they can all spit. How do I know? Thought you would never ask:
Bear in mind that like with most mix tapes, favorites vary from week to week. Here are some of mine.
Mr. Shizz Nitty himself in his words with the boy Matty and Keena A.K.A Dirty Diana(spitting a lil something for 'em):
Like everyone else I put up here, if I put 'em up, I like 'em. Regardless as to 'where' they fit in within' the 'rap world'. Doesn't mean that you should...You just can't blame ME for not sharing them with you WHEN you do finally across them. No sir (ma'am). I did my part.
Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here..
SO SUPPORT THEM!!!
