Datin - " Hell in the Hallway"
“Datin is a man after God’s heart. Datin is a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Datin is an everyday, regular dude.”
Datin’s new album Hell in the Hallway in intended to encourage the listener “no matter what trial they’re going through, no matter what storm they may be in.”
In the past year since releasing The Menace Mixtape, Datin has been facing tumultuous storms in his own life.
“A year ago, my marriage took a turn for the worst.”
Though Datin tried to reconcile his relationship with his wife, they ended up getting separated and later divorced. “I fought for my marriage. I honored the Lord through it.”
“In the divorce I lost everything and willingly gave up everything.” Moving to a new home, Datin also lost his job as he was no longer able to make the longer commute. “I started having vocal cord damage and I’m a musician and one of my close friends passed away.” In addition, a person whom he had considered a close friend tried to interview his wife in an attempt to pull up dirt on him.
With all of these things happening in a short period, Datin was driven to the brink. “Am I gonna go back to my old ways? The old Datin, that’s grounds for death. That’s grounds for me putting a bullet in your head. That’s unacceptable. You’ve crossed a line that you can’t cross with me.”

Mars Ill - "Pirate Radio"
When news dropped that Mars Ill's sophomore Gotee release would be delayed yet again, hip-hop fans were undoubtedly left disappointed. A lot of fans were eagerly anticipating the release of Pro Pain, so its delay meant that Mars Ill would have several months of dead air to fill before its release. So the problem arises: what does a critically acclaimed hip-hop duo do to appease fans in the months before the release of a highly anticipated project? Well if you're Mars Ill, why not put out an independent album while you're waiting? Better yet, make it a fan project and release the CD exclusively through your website.
It's the oldest trick in the book, really. When a band needs to buy time in between releases, they don't want to keep their fans waiting. So they put out a "stop-gap" project - something to tide fans over (and build interest) before they put out the official product. So as stop-gaps go, is Pirate Radio nothing more than a remix or b-sides project? Luckily for fans, the answer is a resounding "no!" Not content to just sit back and rest on their laurels, Mars Ill pulled out all the stops and recorded fifteen brand-new and unreleased tracks for Pirate Radio.
