Street Executives present Adrift Da Belle’s Drift Chronicles sponsored by Raw Roots, The Mad Bloggers, The Fembassy, and Jayforce.

We are pleased to bring you Adrift Da Belle‘s brand-spankingly new project - Drift Chronicles. This mixtape is already being hailed as some of the rapper’s most ground breaking work to date. As Adrift Da Belle has averted from the underground/boombap hip-hop to a more universally palatable sound, a sound that has been well received from her long term supporters and those who attended the Listening Party last month on.

“I think this is a complete project. Few artists have the ability to create something with mass appeal but still maintain their authenticity like Adrift does with this mixtape. ” - Soulaesthetic

“”We also attended a mixtape listening session for the Adrift Da Belle’s, a local artist here in Atlanta. It was definitely entertaining as hell to say the least…” - Dead End Hip Hop”

And I say… “It’s DOPE!” (That’s the official Rawroots quote).

The 18 track mixtape features dope production courtesy of Rian, Nubreedz, ATL producerD.R.U.G.S (Ludacris, G-Unit and 50 Cent’s “The Big 10” mixtape) and Lex Boogie to name just a few. Drift Chronicles also includes features fellow Dungeoneze members Shred Tha Verbal Tongue and Sidestreet KED.

Gensu Dean – “Ramesses” ft. 7evenThirty & Homeboy Sandman [Free Download]

Ayara Pommells — Wed, 09 May 2012 10:54:07 +0000

For his newest single, Ramesses, Gensu Dean enlists two up-and-coming rhyme kings in their own right, the dexterous Homeboy Sandman and the ferocious 7evenThirty, to compliment his apocalyptic beat. Matching a mean guitar riff with gunshot drums and a wailing vocal sample, Dean provides intense energy, allowing 7evenThirty to wild out and rap about busting through the side of mountains, mummifying opponents and riding on the back of the Sphinx. Homeboy Sandman provides a good counterbalance; rapping with equal lyrical intensity but taking the everyman route, reminding us of when he would drink water to quell hunger and lie about cutting McDonalds out of his diet.
