Big Ghost Ltd. reuniting with New Jersey lyricist  Crimeapple  for his 13th full-length album. Becoming a fan of his in the fall of 2017 with his 4th EP  Sweet Dreams  along with the Big Ghost produced full-length debut  Aguardiente  that following spring, his profile in the underground grew exponentially from there. Discography standouts include the  DJ Skizz -produced  Wet Dirt , the  DJ Muggs -produced  Medallo ,  Cartagena ,  Breakfast in Hradec  &  Sin Cortar .  El León  produced by Preservation from the beginning of this year became the most I’ve enjoyed Crime’s music in a while & the official  Aguardiente  sequel  Bazuko  here raised the stakes considering how essential the predecessor is to his catalog. After the “Introducción” intro, the first song “Laugh Now” is a jazzy starter to the album telling a bitch to throw some salt over her shoulder stayi...

Long Beach, California emcee/producer  Daz Dillinger  & Philadelphia, Pennsylvania emcee  Kurupt  together known as  Tha Dogg Pound returning to Death Row Records for their 9th LP. I really shouldn’t have to say much about their 1995 full-length debut  Dogg Food  since it’s widely recognized as one of the last great albums that Death Row ever put out, but their comeback effort  DPG 4 Life  from a few years ago was easily their worst due to being plagued by tacky pop rap tunes. Nevertheless, I was certain  W.A.W.G. (We All We Got)  had to be the duo’s true return to form. After the intro, the first song “Smoke Up” featuring Snoop Dogg produced by Rick Rock is this banging g-funk opener for all the west coast heads to light one up to whereas the title track featuring Tha Eastsidaz unites both groups together for the first time talking about having only each other. “Imma Dogg” takes the g-funk route once again thanks...

This is the sophomore full-length LP from Los Angeles rapper  Big Hit . The father of  Hit-Boy , he was found guilty & convicted of a hit & run resulting in great bodily injury almost a decade ago & unlawfully being sentenced to 12 years & 4 months in prison including a 5-year GBI enhancement connected to Count 1. Last February, his petition for a writ of habeas corpus was granted & became a free man on his son’s 36th birthday. Hit would have his father join forces by making  Surf or Drown 2  a collab effort tailored for Father’s Day Weekend & put out a debut album of his own  The Truth is in My Eyes  only 6 months later.  Blacks & Whites  here raised my expectations after learning Hit-Boy was producing half of it & most importantly,  The Alchemist  doing the other. “Drug Tzar” is this murky boom bap opener to the album talking about being a drug star as opposed to a rap star whereas “Only Weight I Feel”...

This EP is a testament to his raw lyricism, undeniable passion, and unique cadence that sets him apart in the realm of hip hop.

Insane E is a 39 year old MC & graphic designer from East Palestine, Ohio starting out as 1/4 of the No Clue Crew in the early 2000s before branching out in favor of a solo career releasing  The Fine Line  at the very end of that decade. Subsequently, he became the Head of Graphic Design for Majik Ninja Entertainment & a graphic designer for the label’s founders Twiztid in November 2013 only 11 months after the demented duo had departed from Psychopathic Records to do it themselves. And to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of E’s sophomore effort  The Art of Blaowww , I was eagerly waiting for his 3rd album. “In the Balance” kicks off the LP on some rap rock shit produced by Fritz the Cat opening your mind & taking a look inside whereas “Tell Me Do You Really Care?” heinously talks about hoping everyone’s paying attention to him since the end is near. “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me 2099” is a remix version of a highlight track off E’s solo debut  The Fine ...

Source: https://ift.tt/i4mjvFV Deputy Public Defender 4 Angela Cheung called the "investigation" unit of the Los Angeles County Public Defender's office to remove defendant Michael Taylor from the public defender's office and/or courthouse. They failed, and the sheriff's were soon called to the floor of the public defender's office. But, before the sheriff's arrived, investigator Greg Stone threatened to violate defendant Michael Taylor's Constitutional Rights to deny him access to legal process.  This type of coercion and obstruction of justice has been harmful to Michael Taylor, who is actively receiving treatment for his underlying mental health issues. Greg Stone's threat to the defendant undermines the fundamental principles of justice regarding due process, effective representation, and equal protection of the laws.

Source: https://ift.tt/JB9xiEb Defendant Michael Taylor has been subjected to a falsified PC 730 competency assessment with misdated clerical errors. Bar panel attorney Vernon Patterson provokes anger of Defendant by denying him requested access to a copy of the assessment that he has a constitutional right to have. This upsets the defendant and prevents him from making informed decisions and being well-prepared for court. These due process denials by Vernon Patterson suggests misconduct as the assessment itself contains obviously misdated clerical errors that he refuses to address before coercing Taylor to undergo a 2nd cpmopinion. Furthermore, denial of access to the assessment suggests that Vernon Patterson is conspiring to systemically deny Taylor the ability or opportunity to make necessary objections at the appropriate stages of legal proceedings.  This falsified competency assessment was initiated by the court in response to the defendant asserting his constitutional rights...

Source: https://ift.tt/BSnTAN8 On April 10th, 2024, the court clerk at 210 West Temple Street informed defendant Michael Taylor in case GA1111-32 that there was no indication of a minute order pertaining to conflicts of interest declared by the Los Angeles County Public Defender.  On May 2nd, after already being misinformed by the court clerk at the Foltz Criminal Justice center that there were no indication or record of any conflicts of interest declared by the public defenders, the court clerk in Hollywood all of a sudden presents a minute order pertaining to the conflicts of interest. Problem is, the minute order still didn't provide any reason for the declared conflicts of interest. So, as it stands now, the Los Angeles County Public Defenders have no alibi for declaring conflicts of interest without reason in direct response to the defendant asserting his constitutional rights to effective assistance of counsel.  This audio further proves that the California Superior Cou...

Inglewood Pizzle sits down with us for his exclusive interview . Hosted by Prodak Pistolas . Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Email

When he's not making frivolous public appearances and speeches, he is granting his attorneys the ability to impose outside interests in their client's cases. Los Angeles County Head Public Defender Ricardo Daniel Garcia has ignored the misconduct of his attorneys declaring unjustified conflicts of interest without reason in People v. Michael Taylor GA-1111-32-01.  Garcia has received a ton of emails from the defendant pleading for clarity and transparency in his pending criminal case. Mr. Garcia remains hidden behind his deputies as they have all denied Taylor the ability or opportunity to set an appointment with Mr. Garcia.  The example Ms. Garcia has set in the criminal justice system in Los Angeles is alarming, and no defendant should be ignored when there are evident violations of his constitutional rights during any criminal case. Mr. Garcia's complicity sends a harmful message that it's justifiable to prejudice one party over another under the law. Mr. Garcia stil...

In conversation with Deputy Public Defender Mr. Marcus Huntley #207357, Taylor uncovered a concerning aspect of legal practice. Mr. Huntley acknowledged that public defenders possess discretion in making strategic decisions in their clients' cases, even if those decisions diverge from the client's preferred defense strategy. Taylor argued that such decisions lack true strategic value if they result in subsequent violations of the client's constitutional rights. This dialogue highlights potential systemic issues within the Los Angeles County Public Defender's office, suggesting a need for scrutiny regarding the protection o...

Below is proof that defendant Michael Taylor was not informed by Deputy public defender Ms. Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell that the psych evaluation for mental health diversion would instead be pursuant to a competency assessment. With obvious misdated clerical errors in the assessment itself, the assessment being permissibly suppressed from the defendant at the discretion of Judge Ronald Owen Kaye, and the willful failure of the court to address these errors before subjecting the defendant to PC 1368 proceedings amounts to judicial misconduct.  These documents serve as evidence that defendant Michael Taylor was not properly informed by his Deputy Public Defender, Ms. Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell, about the nature of his psychological evaluation. Initially intended for mental health diversion pursuant to PC 1001.36, the evaluation was conducted pursuant to a PC 730 competency assessment without his knowledge. Furthermore, the assessment contains misdat...

I believe this is the 6th proper full-length studio album from Newark, New Jersey wordsmith Mach-Hommy. Breaking out in 2017 when he dropped his sophomore album  H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor)  under Griselda Records, he & Tha God Fahim fell out with them shortly after only to reconcile at the end of 2020 & then Mach returned to the label the following spring for the finest achievement in his discography thus far:  Pray for Haiti . He then followed it up that same winter with  Balens Cho  & now only a couple years after the  Triz Saga , the Haitian-American emcee is looking to commemorate Haitian Flag Day by releasing  #RichAxxHaitian  the day prior. After the “(…)” intro, the first song “Antonomasia” featuring Roc Marciano starts with both MCs perfectly going back & forth with one another on some G shit over a drumless loop from Sadhugold whereas “Politickle” produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow s...

Here we have a brand new collaborative LP between Toronto, Ontario, Canada emcees Daniel Son & Raz Fresco. The latter of whom I was introduced to during my freshman year of high school off the strength of his feature on former Odd Future member Ace Hashimoto’s 5th mixtape  All Day DeShay: AM  & the other coming to my radar at the tail-end of 2019 linking up with Futurewave for his classic sophomore effort  Yenaldooshi . We’ve heard both these guys together on numerous occasions such as the songs “Dirty Dozens” & “Big Bird”, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that they’re turning things up a couple notches on  Northside . To get us started, “Ice Water” works in a sample with kicks & snares talking about how cold it is where they’re from going back & forth with one another whereas the title track serves as a dusty ode to all the lock-breakers & Glock bleeders from where people get even instead of getting ...
