Another solid production from Bambu DePistola! Not only is the production, delivery, and sampling done beautifully, Bambu is spittin straight truth. As a father myself, this song resonates deep within me. Bambu captures the essence of what it is to be a father to a boy growing up in the same streets he grew up in. It's a point of view that can be seen for someone without children, but only truly felt for those of us with children. Big ups to Bambu, Kid Heroes, Xylophone, and PG Films. The song and video is classic.
Make sure to see the story behind the making of Old Man Raps to catch a glimpse of the person that Bambu is.
The highest profile producer beat battle returns to the west coast with the Los Angeles and San Francisco of the Red Bull Big Tune producer battle. As expected, Vitamin D and J. Moore will host each event while producers DJ Toomp and Rick Rock will be featured at the San Francisco event and producers DJ Premier and Nottz will be featured at the Los Angeles event.
Both events start at 8pm and require only $5 charitable donation for entry. The regional battles are always exciting, so make sure to attend if you’re in the area.
Thursday, May 27th (Los Angeles) Feat. DJ Premier & Nottz
If my energy had a soundtrack, it would be this song. The balance of conciousness, delivery, danceability, and lyricism has had me in it's grip since '89. To this day, the second that this song comes on, you will find me on the dancefloor letting my body get back in touch with it's energy.
