a closer look at our projects
mc enigma’s third release L.y.l.e. Rainy Season, was recorded and released in Panama City, Panama. Recapping his experiences in Panama, L.y.l.e. Rainy Season details mc enigma’s recovery after a break-up and infuses some spanish lyrics into the fray. L.y.l.e. Rainy Season is extremely jazzy and plays front to back with smooth transitions telling the tale of an emcee lost in the wilderness of Panama, and it is the introduction of Negros Americanos.

NOT ANOTHER RAP CD
by Bishop The Eastside Nappyhead
Bishop The Eastside Nappyhead's NOT ANOTHER RAP CD is the ultimate spoof of today’s rap game without trying to be. You’ve never heard, from a new artist, an album this complete. You’ve never heard an album this fire. If you have heard of an album better, please let me know twitter.com/bishopnappyhead because greatness is hard to come by. The sole purpose of this project is to let the world know that rap hasn’t gone anywhere. I just haven’t been heard yet. The hardest thing to get people to do is listen, but once you hear it, you’ll be a fan. Just let yourself be taken by the music. You really need this in your life.
Queen Without A King, the first single from Not Another Rap CD by Bishop The Eastside Nappyhead is a song speaking to the new black woman. "The new black woman got style and class. We started at the same pace now she's miles past. I'm falling further back even though I'm driving fast, but keep on doing your thing...A Queen Without A King." - @bishopnappyhead

"While in Panama I’d gotten word that she was coming back to NJ from Mali. Disillusioned with the single life and nostalgic of my first love, I planned to make the S.A.R.A.H. project. I would put all my heart and soul into it and give her a gift based on our experience that no one else in the world can! I hoped it would reconnect us. I’d been listening to Elzhi’s Out of Focus ep and he had a song called S.A.R.A.H. which meant(Someone As Real As Her). It was the perfect title for the project.
It fit. (That’s what she said!)"
