THIS MIXTAPE HAS BEEN KICKING AROUND FOR A MINUTE OR SO BUT I FEEL THE NEED TO GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE LOVE! I AM TALKING ABOUT, OF COURSE, “END OF EARTH” BY BAY AREA RAGER ANTWON. A GREAT MIX OF STYLES AND RAPPING THAT SYNTHESIZES ERAS NEW AND OLD IN A SICK WAY. AMERICAN MUSIC PEOPLE!

STANDOUT TRACKS INCLUDE COLLABOS WITH SHAWN KEMP AND “LIVING EVERY DREAM” PRODUCED BY PICTUREPLANE. THE VIDEO FOR THAT TRACK IS ABOVE. JUST TAKE IT IN, IT HAS THAT CLASSIC CALIFORNIA VIBE THAT REMINDS ME A LITTLE BIT OF MY VIDEO FOR “100 MPH” THAT I MADE WITH DJ DOUGGPOUND A FEW YEARS AGO.

CHECK OUT THE MIXTAPE RIGHT HERE KIDS. JUICEBOXXX AND ANTWON SHOW HAPPENING IN THE BAY AREA IN THE FUTURE? “WATCH THIS SPACE”

SO CHECK IT OUT, TEENAGE RAP SENSATION ISSUE SCREWED DOWN MY TRACK “LIFE’S A GAS” (OFF OF MY 2010 MIXTAPE “JOURNEYMAN FROM THE HEARTLAND”) AND THEN RAPPED OVER IT. PRETTY SICK, BUT THE FUN DOESN’T STOP THERE!

ISSUE THEN ASKED ME TO RAP OVER THE TRACK TO COMPLETE THE CYCLE AND OF COURSE I WAS GAME. I THREW DOWN SOME MELLOW ABSTRACT BARS FOR ALL THE KIDS OUT THERE, JUST FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES. LISTEN BELOW!

NEW POWER COLLABO FROM BMORE WEIRDO SCHWARZ AND BAY AREA WEIRDO (AND SON OF E-40) ISSUE CALLED “SKIES”. THIS IS SOME FAR-OUT RAP MUSIC FOR 2K12 AND MAN YOU BETTER BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME CELINE DION SAMPLES IN THE MIX!

THE SAMPLES AND SCHWARZ’S OVERALL PRODUCTION ON THIS EP ARE THE PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO ISSUE’S DRUG-FREE-BUT-STILL-PSYCHEDELIC FLOW. LISTEN TO IT BELOW AND IF YOU HAVEN’T CHECKED OUT MY COLLABO WITH ISSUE, SCHWARZ AND AMI DANG, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THAT RIGHT HERE!

DREAM TEAM COLLABO RIGHT HERE PEOPLE! BMORE HEAVYWEIGHT PUNK ROCKER ED SCHRADER GETS REMIXED BY THE 1NE AND ONLY SCHWARZ AND IF THAT’S NOT ENOUGH, WE GOT BAY AREA TEENAGE HERO ISSUE IN THE MIX, RAPPING.

I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS REMIX AS “A MEETING OF THE MINDS”
ENJOY

ED SCHRADER’S MUSIC BEAT-RATS (SCHWARZ RAP REMIX) FT. ISSUE by SCHWARZ

VALLEJO, CA’S ISSUE COMES FROM A FAMILY OF RAP LEGENDS BUT FIRMLY STANDS ON HIS OWN. STILL A TEENAGER, HE MAKES MUSIC THAT PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE GENRE AND EXPLORES NEW TERRITORY. A YOUTHFUL EXPERIMENTAL ENERGY RUNS THROUGHOUT HIS MUSIC AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIS WHAT HE DOES NEXT.

WE DID A SONG TOGETHER A LITTLE WHILE BACK AND I HOPE TO WORK ON MORE MUSIC WITH HIM IN THE FUTURE. I SENT ISSUE A FEW QUESTIONS VIA EMAIL AND YOU CAN READ OUR SHORT INTERVIEW AFTER THE JUMP.

(more…)

I RECENTLY COLLABORATED ON AN EXCLUSIVE INTERNET ONLY TRACK WITH BAY AREA TEENAGE RAP WUNDERKIND (AND HEIR TO THE SIK WID IT RECORDS THRONE) ISSUE. PRODUCED BY SCHWARZ AND FEATURING AMI DANG, IT IS CALLED YAAAA AND GUESS WHAT – IT BANGS! EAST MEETS WEST MEETS MIDWEST MEETS FAR EAST MEETS GABBER KICK DRUMS, ITS ALL HERE PEOPLE! CHECK IT OUT ON THE YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOVE AND DOWNLOAD A 320 MP3 FOR FREE RIGHT HERE.

LAST WEEKEND I GOT INTO THE BAY AREA EARLY BEFORE HOODSTOCK TO CATCH NOT ONE BUT TWO SHOWS FROM THE AMAZING PARTY EFFECTS. BEST NEW CREW IN THE GAME, NO QUESTION. DIRTSTYLE WILDSTYLE FREESTYLE ACID TECHNO RAVE PARTY JACK BASS IS ONE WAY TO DESCRIBE IT BUT THAT JUST SCRATCHES THE SURFACE. THESE GUYS HAVE THE BEATS AND THE SWAGGER TO BOOT PLUS A LITTLE BIT OF MYSTERY. SURF AROUND THE WEBSITE AND FEEL THE VIBE. LISTEN TO THE CHOONS AND ENJOY THE MINDSHATTERING YOUTUBE VIDEOS. THESE GUYS ARE BUILDING AN EMPIRE OF ILL SHIT.

YOU COULD SAY THAT “JUICEBOY IS AN OFFICIAL PARTY EFFECTS FANBOY”
