MITCHY SLICK X SIR VETERANO, "KEEP GETTIN MONEY"

MITCHY SLICK X SIR VETERANO, "KEEP GETTIN MONEY"

EVERYBODY HATES MITCH ALBUM RELEASE

Southeast San Diego, CA rapper Mitchy Slick presents the Niko Alexzander-directed music video for "Keep Gettin Money", the new single from Everybody Hates Mitch, Mitchy's new collaboration album with Central Valley, CA producer Sir Veterano. The "Money" visual comes on the heels of music videos for Everybody Hates Mitch singles "Dago Nights" (watch the music video) and "In My El Co" (watch the music video). Making its mark heavily in a micro-genre Sir Veterano coins "sweaterfunk", the album features guest appearances from E-40 (stream "Klack You Out" on Spotify) as well as Jay Worthy (stream "Name In They Mouth" on Spotify), Ise B, Deltrice, Bosko, 2die4 and Silky Slim. San Diego rap stalwart Mitchy is CEO of Wrongkind Records, a familial collective of rappers, deejays and artists (watch the music video for "Imperial" featuring OsoOcean). Mitchy is a member of the rap supergroup Strong Arm Steady, along with rappers Phil Da Agony and Krondon. In 2021 Mitchy released 23 Blocks (stream the album on Spotify). In the past he's collaborated with artists such as Lil Wayne, Nipsey Hussle, and The Game, whose Documentary 2.5 featured three guest shots from Mitchy. In 2021 Sir Veterano released The Gathering (stream on Spotify), featuring MC Eiht and Ras Kass, which was followed up by All Hail The King, his collab album with Fresno, CA emcee Fashawn (stream on Spotify). Sir Veterano is the premier producer on the roster of Fresh Yard Records, helmed by Vet's music manager, Walt Liquor, and Kwa Nguyen, also owner of Fresh Yard Clothing. Everybody Hates Mitch is inspired by the 80's West Coast cocaine rap era. Purchase the CD & digital album at freshyardrecords.com.

OG DENZO- DENZO PARKER

EP Review (intro)

Overall solid project included in the description as Lyrical, Meaningful, Poetic, plus newschool Street Chicago sounds + Music.

Favorite Track

Ballin’ Out CNTRL

This track goes h.a.m from the beginning and has meaning. Topic on people having trouble understanding what you go through following your creative dreams. People hating on others for doing what they have to do and utilizing their talents. Mixing in Ballin Outta Control and celebrating. “They Hatin a N**ga Ain’t even On”. People still not getting the picture that still have work to do and dreams to fulfill. This is a real track Plus mixed well too a solid TRACK; quick, passion lyrics, sound, melody beat Banger overall strong.

Final EP Review

This ep has meaning and purpose sharing the pain which is perfect for the style of a solid EP and four well-produced songs. This EP you can expect Denzo expressing his experiences with the work it takes, struggles he goes through, and closing out with a positive uplifting “It Will Be Okay” including a legit music video. Mixing in Hard-Hitting Rap Music with Some Positivity. “I lost my grandma and It made me wanna go harder” - OG Denzo- It’ll be Okay

His work is paying off as he releases this project Early Summer and continues to push forward.

Production Review/Final Notes

Denzo Steps up to the plate on this completes the full body of work including melodies, hooks, for four complete songs. The way the Body of Work Flows you can Hear Similarities and Differences in the beat selection including notable Drums on “It’ll Be Okay” The Drum Kit on this is Lights Out and it has some Riffs and that Rewind sound is fire. This is a street banger and the Music video on top of that with the Juice WRLD mural sets it off. A Feel Good Positive song that everyone could use that message. Well done.

HEADY LOVELL- LOVELL’S SHOW

INTERVIEW + PEER REVIEW BY RAREFLAVR.COM “DETACH FROM THE MASSES” 

Thank you for your positive comments on the album below.

PEER REVIEW

by RareFlavr “Detach From the Masses” at rareflavr.com

heady lovell’s - LOVELL SHOW

Overall, SOLID album.

12 tracks; including intro, interlude, outro

A true midwest, hip-hop rap album, with surprises. Including Jazz elements, battle rap sounds, eminem/kanye sound on a few tracks, lyricism, album mode, samples, and more.

The Album is not only deep, with a primary theme of lyricism , it also is filled with clever one-liners/punch lines that is refreshing to hear on the hip-hop/rap scene. Heady has the ability to snap nearly the entire track the endurance is notable, worthy, and fitting for this particular album’s style.

The concept of Lovell’s Show as a nod to his favorite comedian Dave Chappelle’s, Chappelle Show is great timing and fitting as well which is solid to the creativity/timing of album.

The features on the album are fairly top notch, thought it was 2chains (opinion) on WaterBoy (feat. VLNS_BEATS) which is raw creative, relevant. Also, the beats by ItsGaitWhoElse have a commercial sound with the drowned out samples for ex. on Just Saying and Running, which the sound can be popularly heard (radio sounding- great work).

OPINIONs ALERT - Perfect Timing for heady to drop a full-length album, considering any circumstances and what it takes to put together an album 10+ tracks. Heady reminded us sort of like Eminem on Gretzsky-(a good thing). The Song Hell is raw, the sound is uplifting, the concept could be a little off-settling to some listeners “Guess who’s going to hell tonight” Yet the song IS FIRE lyrical anthem, the singing on the beginning the flow sound everything sounds fantastic similar to a kanye vibe.

Summary: This album is solid, you will find that there are surprises in the album the more you listen to it. You may be able to follow some of the clever lines that Heady has after listening to the album/songs several times. The album has full tracks with concepts for the choruses, and surrounding verses to match. A complete project. WE GIVE THIS A THUMBS UP !

INTERVIEW PORTION

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for reading this interview article featuring the man himself HEADY LOVELL and his new fantastic project, “Lovell’s Show” Every stream/listen adds up turn up, and celebrate, “Lovell’s Show” by Heady Lovell! Thank You!

Lovell’s Show- Title of the Album - Is this a play of Eminem’s album the eminem show?

It's funny you should mention that. To be honest, The Eminem Show was an afterthought that worked out perfectly. But Lovell's Show's title is a reference to my favorite comedian of all time, Dave Chappelle, and Chappelle's Show. The Eminem reference was more of a happy accident, but I know better than to open myself up for comparison to arguably the greatest lyricist in history.



What Can People Expect from The Lovell Show?

Hopefully they don't expect a damn thing, lol. When it comes to unsigned, non-mainstream artists' work, people tend to expect that it sucks. I hope that is not the case for Lovell's Show, as it is a body of work that has something to which almost everyone can connect. There's speaker bangers, introspective tracks, instrumentals,  humility, tenacity, delusions of grandeur...it has it all. Listeners can expect to learn a little about me. Maybe a little about themselves.



Noticed that this Project is dedicated to Virgil Abloh, what does and did Virgil do for you as far as inspiration, what did he represent for you? How does this loss impact the game? 


It's hard to put into words what Virgil Abloh meant to me, my style, and music in general. There are certain individuals who come around and change everything we thought we knew, and inspire others to do the same. Virgil was most definitely one of those individuals. His creative influence on artists such as Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco is what influenced me as an artist. His ability to be a leader while playing a background role most of his life is what keeps me humble in my real life. His lack of fear, when it comes to exploring ALL avenues of creativity that one has to offer, is an example we should all live by. Virgil Abloh never "stayed in his lane." He paved his own road. It's hard to say how the loss of such a great figure will ultimately impact the game, but I'm willing to bet that innovation slows down, just like when Steve Jobs passed. But I hope I'm wrong.

Your project is a full-length project full of bars, lyrics, and hooks. Catchy Ideas, samples, and more. 

Thanks!


What was your full process like during this album, as far as selecting beats, writing vs. free-styling, all in all how did this project come together? Inspirations? Did you make every beat that wasn’t noted as ‘prod by.’? How long did this album take you to make? 

This project was a few months in the making. After I dropped VANTABLAVK, I found myself aimlessly creating and putting out tracks just because I had so much more to say. But at a certain point, I realized that I should stop producing one-offs and start putting out as many bodies of work as possible. Initially, I never cared about getting a deal of any kind. I just wanted to make music. In my maturity, I know that this is the music business (keyword: business), and that if I want to be successful, I have to prove that I can make albums.

As far as the process, this is the first project that I've created and released with the help of other artists. I usually like to run the show and have control over everything, but this time around I decided to enlist a few friends to better bring my ideas to life. With the exception of "Ooh La Lovell" and "Hell" (on which I produced the drum tracks), I did create the beats on the songs that don't specify otherwise. But collaboration was KEY for this project to have happened. And I thank those who were there for me when I called.


What was the most difficult part of making the album? 


This project was made in its entirety while simultaneously planning an overseas wedding. I'd have to say that the hardest part of making this album was finding the time. People think it's easy to crank out a body of work that one can be proud of, and that has mass appeal. It's difficult to find time to sit down and write out coherent, cohesive verses, produce beats from scratch, find (and hopefully clear) samples, connect with collaborators in different timezones, mix, master, create cover art, AND spend time with your fiance….trust me. But to me it's worth it.



What is your favorite song on the Album? Why? 


That's a tough one. I really like Gretzky and FSU (which stands for Fuck Shit Up), but Waterboy has me singing along to that VLNS_Beats verse as if I wrote it myself. I like hearing other people, even on my own shit. It gives me a high frequency sensation down my spine to hear someone else going in on a track with me. I hope to have more features and to be featured on many songs to come.



What do you think is most misunderstood about you or your music? Rather what do you want people to get from your music, what are some ways people in general can change or help you or other people/artists in general?


I just hope that people start taking me seriously as a musician and artist. I won't ever quit.



If you could get this project in front of anybody in the game, with or who is not with us, who would you want to check this out? Artist, Influencer, Famous, Not Famous, Friend, Loved one, Anybody in particular? 


Lupe Fiasco. I would want to know exactly what he thought about my skill set. I'd want to find out where I currently stand as a lyricist, and how I could improve from this point. I'd have him Mr. Miogi me

How will you be celebrating the album? 

Well, this album releases on my birthday. Let's just say I have big plans.
