Super producer Sauce Lord Rich who is 1/2 of the platinum selling production duo FKI, has teamed back up with Savannah hip hop star and actor Clay James. The two have reunited to continue their ‘Kickin Pimpin’ mixtape series which started back in 2015. The first installment of the series ‘Kickin Pimpin Vol.1’ debuted on Datpiff, LiveMixtapes, and Spinrilla. This project accumulated over 200,000 listens world wide and became an Atlanta indie scene classic. For this next volume, Sauce Lord Rich anticipates there will be even more people tuned in and that this project will give Clay James his first radio hit single. The two lead singles off ‘Kickin Pimpin Vol.2’ are ‘007’ and ‘How I Rock’ featuring A Pimp Named Sweet Tooth. The records have already been released and are showing a lot of promise. ‘007’ has accumulated over 100,000 streams on all platforms and ‘How I Rock’ debuted at Number 9 on the iTunes Hip Hop Chart upon its release.

It’s amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it.

Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed.

Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There’s a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children’s aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts.

The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd’s confidence but also his passion for music.

As someone once told us, there’s a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully.

For example, in “Kobe Bryant,” he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey number, 24. Faxohxzrd takes his shot and never misses.

“Lobotomy” is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy.

“On Me” is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohxzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it.

Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.
