Mighty Underdogs – Science Fiction

Trae Tha Truth and Laroo The Heavy Hitter after the Jump

——————————————————————-
Trae tha Truth – The Beginning

Being that I’m from New York, when it comes to Southern Rappers, I can get very fickle, sorry ya’ll but can you blame me? I rep the Golden Age to the fullest and that includes Southern Artists as well. If an artist doesn’t remind me of the Geto Boyz, they pretty much fall on deaf ears. So I was introduced to Trae Tha Truth, through his cousin Z-Ro’s “The Life of Joseph W. McVey” album. I didn’t pay much attention to Trae cause I figured he was one of those deep voice, entourage, studio rappers. It wasn’t until recently on the Smile track that I actually gave him a real listen. He’s released his 5th solo album, today entitled “The Beginning” It’s typical Trae, it’s more than just gangsta rap, its very somber and thought provoking at the same time, with some nice beats to ride to.
Highlights: Against The World, G Code, My life, Watch Ova Momma, Whit Bricks

Trae – G Code

Laroo the Hard Hitter – The Corporation

Laroo ft. San Quinn – Sound Stage

If only BET Uncut was still on. I feel like I would’ve seen a video of Laroo’s and loved it. Unfortunately we got to work with what we got and by looking at a few of his videos on youtube, I took a chance copped this album on a whim. It wasn’t completely garbage at all, in fact it was pretty dope. The production was on point, it wasn’t too Bay for me and his album rides pretty smooth. Imagine if Young Jeezy and E-40′s catalogs got together and made a love child, that child would be The Corporation by Laroo. [ha]
Highlights: Top Floor, New Episode, 20 Bricks, Put Me On [mandatory chick song], Sound Stage, and Where She At

So I didn’t want to post supergroup The Mighty Underdog’s video for single [?] “Gunfight ft. MF DOOM” because I didn’t want to scare you away.  I mean, I liked it.  Did i love it?  …Not so much [don't be mad].  I like the video more than the song and that says a lot considering I have a preconceived bias for all things MF Doom.   But don’t worry, it’s still going to be a great fall.

The rest of the tracks on the album are awesome.  Of course they would be when you have the Gift of Gab, Lateef and Headnodic all in one album. “Droppin’ Science Fiction” drops October 14th and is  available for pre-order already. [you can also listen to the tracks yourself] Unfortunately, the download capabilities for them are virgin tight.

So for right now, I tracked down this song from their  already released EP entitled “The Prelude” [NoJayZ]

The Mighty Underdogs–The Anthem

And in case you forgot the greatness that this group posses, check out oldies but goodies from their members, here are some of my favorites:

Gift of Gab from Blackalicious–Make You Feel That Way

That was a great summer and this song was the perfect soundtrack.

Lateef from Latryx [I knew em as Lyrics Born and Lateef lol]— Last Trumpet

Til’ this day you cannot tell me you don’t hear Sade’s Sweetest Taboo , even if it isnt there….

Headnodics from Crown City Rockers [i must admit, i didn't know he was in Crown City Rockers at first]

I copped the Earthtones joint in ’05, funny how you don’t know they have videos until you look for them?
