Earlier this week, the Nashville Scene's blog, Nashville Cream, posted an article about the GZA performance at MTSU last Wednesday. They gave my band Biscuits and Gravy a pretty dope mention. Check it out:
"Finally, Biscuits N Gravy took the stage to wash away the mediocrity. It's been a hot minute since we've seen Biscuits N Gravy but -- as with the food from which they take their name -- we are never disappointed. Their synth-washed jazz fusion sound paired with Future, one of the city's most reliably entertaining MCs, never ceases to make us smile. Seriously, if you built a fortress out of late-'70s Stanley Clarke records and then gave that fortress the ability to rap, it would sound just like Biscuits N Gravy."
Also, they talked pretty bad about some of the local openers for the show, and they went HARD on the lack of promotion for the event!! LOLOL! Honest journalism is the best.

Check out what Sean Maloney wrote about the Overnight Mixtapes
If there was one local hip-hop artist who dominated our iPod this year it would have to be Future—the megabytes of The Overnight Mixtape series were mega-tight. Releasing six mixtapes in as many weeks is no small feat, and maintaining the high level of quality is nothing short of miraculous—and we're reminded of this every time we hit "shuffle" and a Future-fied take on the day's top hits pops up every other track. And you gotta love an artist who will stay home on his 21st birthday to keep us knee-deep in fresh tunes.
BIG HOMIE SEAN MALONEY!!!

Future the Unknown
It's hard to talk about Nashville's new school without mentioning Future the Unknown. Best known as the frontman for local live-rap troupe The Biscuits N Gravy Band and for the two mixtapes of clean-cut, positive hip-hop he released in 2006-7, Future came into his own as an artist this year. Starting with The Sci Fly EP—six songs of electro-influenced, club-banging rap that isn't afraid to indulge his affections—and then followed by six (count 'em, six!) volumes of the Overnight Mixtape series—a mammoth undertaking that finds Future running roughshod through the late summer's Top 40 and freestylin' like no fool had ever touched them tracks—this was the year the Unknown conquered Music City. Future also gets a big huzzah for introducing us to the super fresh skills of Open Mic, the city's best hype man and a talented artist in his own right. As of press time we hadn't heard about any plans for the twenty-ten, but if this dynamic duo keeps on track we can probably expect 8 bajillion units of dope material in the coming months.

Just read a dope article about the Jay-Z concert on Nashville Cream (the Nashville Scene blog). Alotta yall know I went to the Jay concert at Vandy last Friday. Why would I not? Its Jay! In my opinion, anybody that calls themselves a rapper and didnt come up under Jay is just super irrelevant. But anyway, alotta yall might not know that I rode in a freakin stretch Escalade limo, courtesy of Sir Lazenby. DOPENESS. We rolled like Diddy on Friday night. Champagne and all. Got alotta evil looks, got alotta good looks hahaha. Either way, I wasnt about to blog and account the entire night. Some things are just TOO great to blog about. You know them events that u hope u got a few pics of atleast, but other than that u just refer to that memory in reflection or with the ones u shared it with.SO, with that being said, this article on Nashville Cream is dope. And it pretty much sums up my experience seeing Jay. Im just happy that SOMEONE was able to put it to words, because I know I couldnt. If you are a Jay fan and havent seen him live, that sucks hahahaha. I used to be one of you... until Friday, that is lol
Heres on of my favorite quotes from the article:
When Jay announced that he had surpassed Elvis with the most No. 1 albums of all time for a solo male recording artist, it seemed like a generational triumph--we had beaten the boomers and righted the wrongs of pop cultures past.... As Jiggaman said, "Elvis has officially left the building."
I left that concert on TEEEENNN!! We'll, actually I was already on 10 from the limo ride and champagne... but Jay-Z, my friends, was definitely the highlight of my year.

Back from NY, still on a natural high from the city itslef... and already BIG THINGS are POPPIN!! Lol I got a phone call from my homie Tyzayah the SECOND i touchdown in Nashville and he tells me about an article in the Nashville Scene about the show im performing at on Friday. He said, "The article has ALOT of good things to say about you.... like... you're the next up in Nashville." OH SNAAAPPPP haha you already know I was excited and RUSHED home to check out the article online. And trust me, it did not disappoint. Heres a little from the article:
Future, rapper for local favorites Biscuits n Gravy, just released the solo EP The Sci Fly, and it's earned a place at the top of our summer jams playlist with its taught mix of electro beats, deft lyricism and pop hooks. With tracks like “Product of the Game”—featuring a fanboy-comes-into-his-own story—the bipolar booty bounce of “Heartbeat” and the soulful, sentimental hip-house of “Grow Old With You,” Future claims a space as one of the city's most innovative and engaging MCs.Shout out to Sean Maloney for recognizing and acknowledging a nigga talent! I finally feel like the city of Nashville is taking notice like I've always hoped. Now that my city has my back, time to take conquer the world....
ANYWAY, the Scene goes on to say the the show this Friday at Exit/In is the NUMBER 1 SHOW TO BE AT ON FRIDAY!! LETS GET IT!! So in other words, YOU NEED TO BE THERE! The line up is RIDICULOUS. Rapper Ced Hughes is headlining, my homeboys the NOBOTS are in the house. Monster DJ's Wick-It and Kids Meal are puttin it down on the tables. And many more. This show will be EPIC. Check the flier for more info. See you there.
