At the Madlib show in Denver tonight, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) announces a Blackstar & Madlib album dropping 2018

Posted: 11 Feb 2018 12:45 AM PST

I just got back from a Madlib DJ set in Denver, and Yasiin Bey made a surprise appearance, and announced a Blackstar & Madlib album dropping in 2018 - he even mentioned it several times. Yasiin showed up after performing elsewhere in Denver with Talib Kweli the same night.

For anyone curious about the show itself, it had some of the best vibes i've experienced at a show - basically a giant smoke session with Madlib and Yasiin Bey, freestyling beats and some casual rhymes.

EDIT: Here's the audio of Yasiin Bey making the announcement.

"New Black Star with Madlib, Talib Kweli, Yasiin, comin' soon! All Madlib, all day. New Black Star, 2018, Madlib Black Star, Madlib Black Star."

EDIT 2: Here's audio of Madlib confirming the Black Star album at the same show.

"Brother Yasiin Bey in the building... how many of y'all miss Yasiin Bey? I miss that brother in America. He wasn't in America like he 'sposed to, but he's back now. Ayyy. Y'all ready for that album with us?"

A mini-intro to Venezuelan Hip Hop

Posted: 11 Feb 2018 08:44 AM PST

(Post inspired by this one)

I'll start this off by apologizing for any spelling/grammar mistakes and if the write-ups aren't good, I'm not a good writer and english is not my first language, so pardon me.

Also feel free to ask me anything about all these rappers I'll list or anything about Venezuelan hip hop culture/Venezuela in general, I'll try to answer every question.

If you'd like me to recommend more songs from these artists or even translate the lyrics to any of the songs, leave a comment or PM me!

Also let me know if you'd like a part 2 with more rappers.

Canserbero

(Conscious hip hop, Jazz rap)

Canserbero (Tyrone José González Oramas, 1988-2015) was one of the most important Latin American rappers ever and without a doubt the most influential and important rapper to come out of Venezuela. He started gaining recognition with the group BAS.Y.CO and the mixtape Base y Contenido (Beat and Content), released in 2005. It wasn't until 2008 though with the release of Indigos, a collab mixtape with Lil Supa (another Venezuelan rapper I will talk about in this post) that he started building up his status as one of the most talented rappers in the underground Venezuelan hip hop scene. He released another mixtape in 2009 called Nuestra doctrina no es un dogma, es una guía para la acción (Our doctrine is not a dogma, it is a guide for action). A year after, in 2010, he released his first studio album called Vida (Life), a great conscious hip hop album that lets us have a look at Tyrone's softest side we ever got to see, basically telling us his own life's story, introducing the listener to the beauty of Venezuela, opening up about his mother passing away, and anti-discrimination anthems. Now, after the success Vida had in the hip hop scene, he dropped his sophomore album, Muerte (Death), in 2012, a much darker album, with darker sound and darker topics, as the titles suggest, it's basically the opposite of Vida, in Muerte, we can find Canserbero fighting the Devil after killing his brother's murderer and committing suicide in which I think it's one of the best storytelling rap songs ever, "Es Épico". In Muerte, Tyrone fights his demons, and while doing so he drops what I think is the best latin american hip hop album ever, 100% worth checking out if you understand even a little bit of spanish.

In 2013, he drops another collab mixtape, this time with Apache, another very famous rapper, titled Apa y Can, an amazing mixtape that has both of these rappers at their prime and complementing each other perfectly.

In 2014 he drops a mixtape called Give Me 5 which was his last project released while alive.

January 20th, 2015 is the day, and the latin american hip hop scene is saddened by the news, Canserbero, that one very aggressive Venezuelan rapper that opened the door for a lot of aspiring artists, had died, he jumped from the 10th floor of a building located in Maracay, Venezuela. Another artist, named Carlos Molnar, bassist of the band Zion TPL, had also died, but instead of committing suicide, he was stabbed, theories didn't wait too long to appear, it all pointed towards Tyrone González committing the crime and ending his own life shortly after, with Molnar's wife being the only person alive after the events. Firstly it was stated that Canserbero had been suffering of schizophrenia, statement that got refuted by his own family, saying he didn't suffer from any mental illness. Many theories have been considered since then, having Molnar's wife as the main suspect but the case is still unsolved. Only certain thing is that Canserbero will forever be remembered as one of the most prolific spanish-speaking MCs.

"Y no se muere quién se va, sólo se muere el que se olvida" (The one who goes away doesn't die, the one who is forgotten does) - Canserbero, "El Primer Trago", Muerte (2012).

Whoops, already made this too long, forgive me, please, this dude is my favorite rapper and I wanted to emphasize on his life and career, will do shorter write-ups for the next rappers

Lil Supa'

(Conscious hip hop, Jazz rap)

Lil Supa' (Marlon Morales, 1985) started his career together with Canserbero in BAS.Y.CO, but didn't quite get the success and exposure the former got, that doesn't mean his music is bad at all though, in fact it's quite great. His debut EP Claro (Clear), is 20 minutes of conscious hip hop/jazz rap songs that showcases Marlon's lyrical prowess. He released SERIO (Serious) in 2017, it's one of my favorite albums from last year, with a great use of samples and smooth jazzy, Dilla-like production together with a lot of cultural references and Supa being a fan of spanglish makes this a really unique album. He's also a member of the netlabel YoYoDojo.

Songs to listen to:

Gegga

(Conscious hip hop)

Gegga (Gerardo Steven Altera Madriz, 1988) another YoYoDojo member, he has only released one studio album, The Rainmaker, album that weirdly makes me remember another "water"-themed project, The Water(s) by Mick Jenkins. It's an overwhelming listen, in a good way, Gegga produced most of it, and needless to say the production is one of the highlights, not to take merit off Gegga's lyrics though.

Songs to listen to

Big Soto

(Trap Rap)

Big Soto (Gustavo Rafael Guerrero Soto, 1996), the new big thing in Venezuela, almost everyone knows him or has at least heard his name, he started gaining recognition with the track "Chamito Loco", released in August 2016 and featuring another up and coming rapper, Trainer. After that his popularity has been on the rise, releasing his mixtape in November 2016, titled Young Cream. He's partially the main reason Trap is one of the most popular genres at the moment in Venezuela, even though he has made some slower, R&Bish songs, which he does surprisingly very well, in my opinion.

Songs to listen to:

Reis Bélico

(Trap Rap, Dancehall, Reggae, Pop Rap, Alternative R&B)

Reis Bélico (Ruben Dario Guzman Barreto, 1993) is a really versatile rapper and one of my absolute favorites, he has released 5 solo projects, Libre y Puro (Free and Pure), Raciocinio (Reasoning), Delirio (Delirium), Equilibrio (Balance) and Sinestesia (Synesthesia). His sound varies from Trap, to Dancehall to Pop Rap, while also having huge reggae influences.

Songs to listen to:

Micro TDH

(Pop Rap, Alternative R&B)

Micro TDH (Fernando Daniel Morillo Rivas, 1999), hip hop's good guy, great voice, girls love him, basically a Venezuelan Drake, his music is very similar to Drake's too, maybe a bit more uplifting. His style varies from Pop Rap, R&B and a bit of Trap too. His mixtape 18/04 is a very instrospective project with a lot of sensitive moments, inspired by his grandma passing away. Inefable (Ineffable), released in 2017 is a more uplifting project, with Micro trying to find his definite sound, which is a healthy combination of Pop Rap and R&B.

Songs to listen to:

Neutro Shorty

(Trap Rap, Hardcore Hip Hop)

Neutro Shorty (Liomar Acosta Bellucci, 1993) is quite the opposite of Micro TDH, a bad guy in every sense, starting his career with a hardcore sound, borderline Gangsta Rap, style that is predominant in his early mixtapes Cinco Historias (5 Stories), Deseos (Wishes), El Rey de los Pobres (King of the Poor) and El Negocio Sucio (The Dirty Business), lately though with his most recent album, Calígulas, his sound has been changing a lot, joining the Trap Rap wave that is growing exponentially in Venezuela and Latin America.
