Honors English ft. Q45 - "Started From The Bottom" (Freestyle)

Honors English and fellow Jersey emcee Q45 borrowed Drake's newest single "Started From The Bottom" to create an original song quality freestyle that takes Honors back to his younger days:

In this freestyle I channeled some of my earlier work that represented the mentality I had coming up from the bottom. As a result, the content is more edgy then my usual material. Introducing Clipz, a young hungry MC from Jersey anxious for the spotlight. Joining me is my homie from Jersey, Q45. I think it is important to let my fans know where I came from physically and mentally, so they can understand my growth as an artist. Started from the bottom now we here.......Let me know what you think of the experiment.......

I'd love to hear more Q45. The punchlines were crazy!

Honors English has been out here making major moves. Last week, HE announced a partnership with Tunecore Distribution and VEVO to promote his music and videos through music's largest digital channels. Now we finally get to see the fruit of his labor--the visuals to State Of The Art  favorite,"Palin and Bachmann."


State Of The Art is out now! If you haven't heard it yet, I forgive you (only if you listen now).

Voli ft. J. Cole - Sound Of Love

It's a Dreamvilian affair on Voli's new single "Sound Of Love" which shows off both his and J. Cole's abilities to produce and rap over an alternative-rock tinged track. I'd love to hear what else Voli's got in store on his new project The Wall.

Neako continues his freestyle assault as he directs and stars in the visuals to his remix of Young L and Soulja Boy's "Triple Chain Gang." And I promised myself I'd never listen to Soulja Boy's voice again...

Check out the music video to the clever standout "Highlight Real," which continues to build the basketball wordplay spit on the song.

Neako loved his "Pretty Flacko" freestyle so much that he kept the lyrics and put his own beat to it. Didn't know that the Jersey Taylor Gang emcee had production skills!
