M.O.P Reunites For Billy Danze’s Solo Album On “That Time”

For those attuned to the nineties hip-hop scene are well familiar with the name M.O.P. A duo made up of Billy Danze and Lil Fame, the pair stood out through their distinctive cadences, unrelenting flows, and straight-up intensity — lest we forget, these are the minds behind the classic anthem “Ante Up,” a workout mainstay to this day. And while the group has taken a backseat in this modern age, it would appear that they have once again connected for Billy Danze’s upcoming album We Busy.

New single “That Time,” features a soulful and nostalgic instrumental from TooBusy, who will be producing the twelve-track project in its entirety. “You talking glocks and how you handle two nines, how you got four watches when you can’t do time?” wonders Fame, his opening verse highlighting the sharpened nature of his flow. Danze closes the track out with calm gravitas, rapping “we world famous, don’t name us the hardest, but we the hardest regardless / fuck your favorite artist.”

Look for Billy Danze and TooBusy’s new project to arrive this Friday, October 16th, with additional guest appearances from DJ Premier, Method Man, Havoc, Lil Fame, Cormega, and Daz Dillinger.

You talking glocks and how you handle two nines,
How you got four watches when you can’t do time?

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
