I ain’t gonna lie, homie make you wanna go back and revisit some stuff. I’m here trying to figure out, how come I haven’t grabbed none of his work yet. He killing it…a couple years younger than me, with a huge catalog. He signed with Bizzle’s, God Over Money last year. Sevin got like, 17 albums. I don’t have none of them…but this one. This mug go hard. He run a camp called HogMob. That’s actually the HogMob logo on the Purple Heart cover. Its a group of artist with the same focus to push the kingdom.  So check this from Wikipedia about this Purple Heart album,

Surrender is what we all need to do. Surrender to the will of God. Life gets hard, people die, homies do you wrong, seem like God not listening. We have to surrender to him to truly see the light. Time Go feat Bizzle & Eric C was some hard bars reminding us that time will keep going. Don’t get caught up. The last cat, Eric C, yeah…I have no clue what he was saying. He sounded like the homie Deeturnal. He still crashed it. The beat switched…I still was bobbing.

Purple Heart is the title cut. Sevin killed it…talking about being fully committed. It’s about being willing to die for this. People get Purple Hearts because of sacrifice. You gotta be willing to go all in for the Lord. I’m Wit It feat Datin, Bumps Inf and Bizzle is another click song, loaded with lyricism from the God Over Money camp just really being in agreement with each other and the mission they on. The mission is to lead others to Christ. I’m wit it to. Real Talk.

You Are God feat Sheena is straight Rap Worship. This that uplifting, feel good song just giving God the glory for who, and what he is. Y.O.L.O feat Datin is about being free from the destruction Satan has planned for us. We have to stay prayed up and consciously fight to be yanked out lucifers oppression.

Dig this verse from Purple Heart by Sevin

Yeah purple camo
Rambo on my shoulder blade
Teflon ammo kevlar panels on my motorcade
War with Hades til they lay me in a soldier’s grave
Hello purple heart medal on my whole brigade
And a man with no ambition makes the coldest slave
Them mental prison’s leave you sitting up in an open cage
Feel like I’ve risen to my chosen age
One of the best when I was drunk
Ya’ll sure can’t see me in my sober phase
My soul is saved
Path to success… golden paved
They know we paid
The more they hated us the more we made
Weed in the dough just like a police raid
Wanna know how real it is
Sin is killing kids like Roe v Wade
Blessing Yah I came to testify I know He saves
They see my love for God it justifies my holy rage
These devils soft as flowers
You bled on the cross for hours
I stay on my Austin Powers… Oh behave

Sevin got a way with words.  He got some others on here like One Moment, Broken Mirror and If I Could. All jammers. The homie Sevin is nice. He got crazy word play, throwed delivery and he intellectual when he spit. He killing it. Shout out to the West Coast. This Purple Heart project got new school tracks, trap beats, west coast, praise tracks and a bunch of features from the squad, rightfully so. Its 15 tracks total.

Rare are the moments in hip hop history when that golden project drops.

By golden, we mean a jewel case full of precious gems excavated from the mines of new music —an album that has glitz, yet retains the properties of hard core durability.

X marks the spot for New Breed, a sibling pair who have struck it rich with their first full length album, Stop The Music. The catching illustrated album cover is only the beginning, as brother and sister Macho and Elsie Ortega collaborate to audio-illustrate rap imagery at its finest.

Hailing from the Puerto Rican streets of Boston, the duo had earlier debuted on the scene with their two song EP, Stories, demonstrating that they could hold their own. Then they took it to the next level by appearing on DJ Maj's, Full Plates album, birthing the smash hit single, "What's My Name?".

Surpassing expectations, the twosome made noise with the gloriously indelicate Tunnel Rats, cornering the album with the title cut, "Tunnel Vision."
Now, causing an eclipse in hip hop and affecting the crucial balance of what listeners have been so accustomed to, New Breed presents a rarity to the market. Spin the disc and volcanic lyrics electrify the air, like lava spilling from their lips. Their vibe is East Coast, hard-core urban, nicely infused with a Puerto Rican roots vibe.

If you’re familiar with the Tunnel Rats project, you don’t need to be schooled that Macho and Elsie are each choice MCs, confident in delivery and giving up their own style of accent-splashed flava and showing a knack for rhyme finery.

Throughout the album, the tag team sling clever rhymes, and as if that weren’t enough, it’s all supported by unreal production from the hand of rising mix maestro, Dert, and instruments from Donavan Luke Henry.


From rhythm to rhyme, hands down, New Breed appeases the urge for real hip hop by staying true to Christ as well as the art —a perfect combination. New Breed delivers a well-rounded creation on Stop The Music, and may go down as the most noted hip hop release of the year 2002. 

Producers: Dert, Macho Ortega

Deepspace5 – 5:55 EP 

Inspired by Jay Z's recent offering, “4:44”, Freddie Bruno had a thought. Why not dig in to those same samples, flip them with his signature sound and enlist his Deepspace5 brethren to make a little music? In our humble opinion, he nailed it. The veteran producer nods to NO I.D.’s tracks but still creates a new and vibrant take, laying the framework for the DS5 rhyme sayers to deliver the goods. You can feel their experience and life-lived as they give you their heart, soul and bars as only they can. From the melodic and soulful to the downright gritty, Deepspace5 lays it on the line for their fans once again. No matter your time zone, you’re going to want to set your alarm clocks for 5:55. 

*All proceeds go towards relief efforts in Puerto Rico.

released October 20, 2017 

Produced by Freddie Bruno.
