MC Bravado – “Dirty 30” 

Baltimore’s (by way of NY) MC Bravado returns with “Dirty 30” a loosie produced by Militant Marxman, recorded/mixed by Brandon Lackey, and brought to you by Soulspazm. The record sees Bravado embracing a life decision that many would find completely insane: walking away from a tenured teaching job at 30+ to become a full-time rapper. “I was sad all my friends were married except me, then I saw the Maxim model on back of my jetski” is one of an endless array of quotables that see your favorite former English Teacher owning his choices in peak form. Add an introduction from the legendary Chuck D and a menacing instrumental from Marxman, and you have the first in a line of bangers that will hold over the Bravado faithful until his upcoming album (Title TBA) single is released in May. Said single features a member of Slaughterhouse, but that’s all that we can say for now.

Bandz Danero- “Supreme Bag” feat Vado

Bandz Danero, born Willie Wright is a Hip Hop artist from Hartford, CT. Although he had a tough beginning, he found music at a very young age, as an alternative to the street life he was coming up in. He began performing and writing music on a serious level in 1997, where he began finding his sound, and overall honing his craft. In 2001 he and his co-partnered company Major League Records (indie label) released Dime And Gunz which was critically acclaimed, and an instant classic body of work in the local marketplace, and went on to move thousands of units independently.  Bandz Danero’s career came to an abrupt halt, as he just signed on to do a co-venture production deal with Grammy award winning multi-platinum producer Allan Gordon (Allstar) due to being involved in a 30 man drug indictment which cost him a 10-year federal sentence. Like every dark tunnel, there’s always light at the end. Bandz Danero returned home after serving his sentence in December of 2014, to once again partner up with childhood confidant and manager Anthony “Sal” Mickens, to finish up what they started with their own company, Huntzone Ent, which is a full fledged indie record label and production company. Currently Bandz Danero is slated to release his first project since being released from prison, called Bag talk Vol. 1 hosted by the mixtape powerhouse Big Mike, which includes production from Vinny Idol, and guest appearances from Jadakiss to name a few. It may have been a long road of valleys, creeks, and many pitfalls, but one thing for sure – Bandz Danero is here to stay, and the best is yet to come.
