Bay Area rapper T-Mazz talks new mixtape, owning a label and getting his Masters degree

At a time when it's Cool to be negative in Hip Hop it's so refreshing when a artist like Bay Area rapper T-Mazz comes along and proves through his actions that it's possible to set a positive example and still be "Cool" and make music that people will enjoy.

T-Mazz has gained my respect by managing to impress me in more ways than one... Not only is he a hard grinding artist with a humble spirit, he is the CEO of his own independent Label called "California Elevator Company" and he's a young educated Black man with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from San Francisco State University and is currently within 6 months of Graduating with his Masters Degree in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University in Alameda Ca. (WOW)... now that's IMPRESSIVE!! Artist take notes!

MIXTAPE: GQ (18 yr old from BK) "All Exits Are Final" Mixed & Hosted By DJ Cocoa Chanelle

Now days the average rapper who's respected for their lyrical ability is usually in their 20's... it's rare for a rapper who's only in their teens to have the same skill level when it comes to delivery & lyrics as someone who's over 21. GQ, a young 18 year old Brooklyn Native is definitely a exception who is about to raise the bar for every young rapper under 21 coming behind him.

When i first heard GQ i was feeling him, i didn't know he was only 18 til much later... when i found out his age, i was surprised. He's talented and He's a good representation for New York's new generation of up and coming artist.

Rapper Flauce Flips Ace Hood "Hustle Hard" into a Remix About GOD and Kills It

This morning around 4am i decided to check my twitter, a rapper by the name of Flauce sent me music asking me to check it out (yup, i actually listen the new music i get).

I like the Ace Hood song "Hustle Hard" but there are a MILLION unofficial remixes out to it... so when i pressed play and heard the "Hustle Hard" beat come on, i almost pressed STOP but instead i let it play, i'm glad i did... Flauce's remix is the most Original remix of "Hustle Hard" i've heard so far. It's a Gospel remix about GOD that i'd bet if it played in the club people would still party to it like it's the original.

Cash Flow

SONG: Hush LiL Lady
DIRECTOR: MRM5
LOCATION: Harlem, New York
PRODUCER: G.M.B "Good Money Brothers"
TWITTER: @therealcashflow


Cash Flow is a Independent artist from Harlem New York first brought to my attention by T Hall & RnB Singer Damon Ellis. This song "Hush Lil Lady" has been compared to Tupacs "Brenda's Got A Baby." I've said many times... I LOVE when a artist is not afraid to be creative and write about things that are not the usual topics that everyone else writes about.

In this video Cash gives us a realistic visual for what life is like for a abused pregnant teen. When asked what was his inspiration for the song Cash says "its based on a true story." Video Director MRM5 does a great job sticking to the story line, the video visually brings the lyrics to life. Check it out and let me know your opinion on Cash Flow.

100 Grand is a Unsigned artist from Queens New York.. Very interesting visuals in this video Shot by director Shatek. In this Song 100 Grand tells the story of being "psycho" and a bit obsessed with a girl named Carrie. I decided to feature this song & video because it's different... its not the typical song concept with the typical video. I like when a artist does something "outside the box" that's unique and shows creativity. Let me know what you think about it.
