Despite the fact that Winter has set in on the East Coast, things are heating up in the Midwest as “The Land” is churning out more and more artists before our eyes. Enter All In Entertainment’s Christopher Bradley and Mark TooSharp who have a new visual and single, “So Fly” that’s picking up in the streets and on radio airwaves across the Midwest.  “We always played around freestyling and rapping and then one day we decided to take it serious because we was really living the street life rappers rap about,” said Mark Too Sharp who’s last single with Lil Boosie reached over 100k plays on YouTube. And while the industry is obsessed with big name features, the guys are more concerned about letting people know that they don’t need features and that their talent stands strong alone.  “We wanted to make the new heat, yeah we got some big name features on there, but we wanted people to know we don’t need features, we got better songs on the tape without features,” Christopher Bradley explained. “We figured if 15-18 songs on the project are all fire, then y’all would get the picture.” For the new single “So Fly” the guys tapped DJ Drugz from the East Side of Cleveland to produce the song and the guys flew 30 Visuals up from Baton Rouge to film the video which is set in a barber shop as Mark Too Sharp gives people edge ups. The song is amped up by the fact that fellow labelmate and collaborator on this song Young Chris joins mark on the song.  He wants fans to know that if they are loyal, he’ll be loyal to them as he preps his new album, Finally Famous.

Marbled is a twelve track collection of songs that blend hip-hop and indie-pop to tell Abhi’s story of a man with no place. Since he was born in Madras, India, Abhi has lived in more than 10 cities, in 8 states, in 4 countries, almost always having to relocate against his will. Most recently, Abhi was removed from the United States due to immigration laws when he didn’t win a visa lottery after college. He was forced out of his job, away from his girlfriend and everyone he knew, and was shipped to India before relocating to France, and finally–thanks to a graduate student visa–back to the United States. “I had just moved away from my girlfriend and my friends, and my full-time position had to push me out. It was s##tty. My girlfriend was pretty much the only person I talked to,” Abhi told AllHipHop.com. Throughout these tumultuous times, Marbled has been there, chronicling Abhi’s isolation, depression, and frustration at the lack of control over his own existence. Abhi’s new single “Pressure” focuses on the struggle to succeed despite the setbacks thrown your way, with Abhi and featured artists S#### Lodi & Dylan Montayne trading verses describing their drive to push back against the pressure atop a smooth, downtempo beat. -lodi-x-dylan-montayne/s-jrwsE https://soundcloud.com/abhithenomad/12-windows-lokd-ft-s####

From the desk of New Jersey native Tragic Hero: “When life brings you to your knees we turn to those we trust for love and support. Unfortunately, at times it’s the closest ones that cause the most pain.This past year has been just that. I had to move out of my home and end a 10 year relationship. This led to me to moving from place to place without any certainty of the future. I had to accept the fact that sometimes the people you love the most, can be the ones that also hurt you the most. This experience has helped me realize that cutting off certain toxic relationships are an essential key to a peace of mind and personal growth.” Ladies & gentlemen, Look Who I’m With.
