Saturday night was a blast.
Everyone who grabbed the mic tore it down.
The crowd was feeling it!
The atmosphere was really something special.
Check out highlights from the first edition of Amongst the Crates in the 412: live MCs, DJs and beatmakers. Featuring performances by DFRNTFRM, Reasun, Shade Cobain, Dereos Roads, AARIE and more.
America has endured more mass shootings than sunrises in 2023. It’s not a mental health crisis. It’s a gun problem, and an American problem. In response, Dereos Roads & Reasun take on gun violence, prevalence & culture in American society on their latest track, “Tonz ‘O’ Gunz ’23,” produced by SteamBoi. It is in part an homage to Gang Starr’s classic track “Tonz ‘O’ Gunz” from their album Hard to Earn (1994), which has sadly remained relevant.
You can hear the track wherever you prefer, but as always, consider supporting on Bandcamp here or here. A cover art video is available to watch below. Look out for the official video in a few weeks.
One of the tracks getting the most attention from Proseed’s Songs and Seven Blunders album (May 2022) is “That’s the Truth,” featuring international battle rap champion, Real Deal, and Reasun, host of Pittsburgh’s freestyle cypher, Track Meet. In response, Proseed has created a lyrics video which will air on the Surface Level Records YouTube page at 7 PM EST. Check it out when it releases below:
Until then, you can stream, download and support the song at the Surface Level Records label page via Bandcamp. You can also stream the the whole album, Songs and Seven Blunders, wherever you prefer.
