J57 dropped off his latest record “Soarin’ Like Jordan” featuring Audible Doctor and Archie Bang. For those who’ve been residing under a rock, J57 hails from the acclaimed underground collective Brown Bag Allstars as well as Audible Doctor. Both are predominately known for their production over the years, but they never half step or come up short on the mic. Revisit J57’s “Wax Aesthetic“ for your reassurance, and Audible Doctor’s “Can’t Keep The People Waiting.“

The two Brown Bag veterans brought along Brooklyn’s promising Archie Bang to blow off some steam, opening up the record with some heavy content. Don’t let the playful title fool you here; the three guns mean business and deliver brutal honesty over J57’s stern, sample-free soundscape. Yeah, we said sample-free. This is only a taste of what’s to come as an EP was just announced and is expected soon titled “I’m The J57.” That’s enough out of us. Enjoy the record below and be sure to keep up with J57. He does not sleep, all for your listening pleasure and the preservation of this culture we call hip-hop. Peace and love.

The gritty truths we first felt when we premiered Archie Bang‘s “Rewind” back in October have gone nowhere. For the video Archie Bang renders these truths visible, from his Asian gal in Williamsburg to the hurt and pride he feels living in “Flatbush, Vietnam.” Lend the man your eyes and ears. He’s got some tough words.

The piano is gorgeous, but nothing’s pretty about the scene Archie Bang paints on “Rewind.” Set to be on his upcoming LP, Never Say Die Vol. 1 (80’sBabies), this track harkens heavily back to the ’90s, from the boom-bap, to the sample of Mobb Deep‘s “The Start of Your Ending,” to the simultaneous hurt and pride in Archie‘s voice as he reminisces about the grit of his upbringing. Enjoy RESPECT.’s exclusive premier of “Rewind.”
