“Quit acting like Ray Liotta, Your no goodfella, not one iota, your more like a lil bottle o’ soda, kinda fizzy when your open, kinda flat when its over”.
Could Dusty Roze have put it any better? Some food for thought from this animated MC im about to introduce you to as part of the collective that is, Soul Shack. Soul Shack is a Multi-National, Multi-Cultural crew based out of Long Beach, California.
The group consists of Tone Blair, NDO, Fabmal, Dusty Roze & Chad Bishop. The producers of the group, Tone Blair & NDO, are Hispanic & Native American respectively and they both hail from Long Beach. Fabmal comes from Lynwood and brings a street concious flow while Dusty Roze, as i mentioned earlier, brings that animated style originally from West Palm Beach Florida. Chad Bishop got some old school sounds for you and is originally from Alabama.
Im here today to introduce you to their music and try to gather some support for a group that most definitely goes against the grain of what typifies most Westcoast Hip-Hop, and to be honest i know many of you will feel they are a breath of fresh air in a sometimes frustrating cycle of music. With a new, creative and fresh style i know some will love and some will hate, but at least try to appreciate the angle at which they approach the scene. We have the single for download along with the video for the “Ain’t No Gangsta” track which i hope you will listen to and spread around, radio stations and DJ’s feel free to pick this up. Tone spoke with dubcnn and said : “We defy the stereo typical westcoast hip-hop, and for that matter hip-hop worldwide. We’re not caught up trying to mimic others, we’re just ourselves. We are all real down to earth people, with good vibes, good music and a love for hip-hop and all music.”
So check below for the “Ain’t No Gangsta” single and video and look out for more audio coming soon such as “Double Deez”, a solid party anthem and a track called
