Benny The Butcher Spits Crazy Bars On LA Leakers

One of the many unfortunate side-effects of a COVID-19 era has been the noted absence of radio freestyles. As such, the amount of BARS we’ve received this year has been lower than ever before, much to the dismay of enthusiasts across the board. Luckily, the LA Leakers have decided to boldly trudge onward in the face of adversity, bringing Benny The Butcher into the fold for a pre-Burden Of Proof freestyle session.

At this point, it goes without saying that The Butcher is one of the game’s most dominant lyricists, thus making him the perfect candidate for the revival of on-air freestyles — shout out to the LA Leakers by the way, who never fail to connect with the game’s deadliest lyricists. Taking to Jay-Z’s classic “Dead Presidents,” Benny wastes little time in delivering some impressive punchlines. “They want my take on social justice issues, I get that / but telling ya’ll what ya’ll wanna hear, nah I ain’t with that,” he spits. “A rapper post a meme, ya’ll treat him like Dr. King / his record label pulling strings, they only want him to stream.”

The madness only continues. “The only rapper that would have thrived in the 2Pac era,” he raps, comfortably in the zone. “I’m talking 98′ drug money, shoebox era / I proved myself every tape and the proof got clearer.” Between that and his “I shoot with no body round me like a penalty shot,” it’s clear that the Butcher isn’t playing any games with this one. Check it out for yourself below, and stream Burden Of Proof when it arrives in full at midnight.

The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
