Being certified in anything means you have mastered the skill you worked hard to be the best at. To hustle is to grynd and to grynd is to be successful. So, when you think certified you think successful. In order to get there, you have to go through pain and struggles not everyone is prepared for.

Laurel, Mississippi artist Shayne Kobayne has been pushing the envelope of grynders for years. This means everything he works for comes from the muscle and taking shortcuts is not an option. Musically he has the ability to inspire you in multiple different topics and emotions. This is the skill of someone who has mastered his craft. Like a master that he is, Shayne teamed up with producer Big Boyy Beatz for new single Certified Hustler.

Certified Hustler is that song for the streets, that song for the business owners, the official anthem for the grynders and a warning to the haters. To be an artist like Shayne Kobayne you must be unapologetic and willing to stand on your word in order to be certified. Mississippi birthed an artist that lands every lyric like a boxer lands every punch. “I’m gonna thrive by any means I put that on my babies”.

You don’t have to take our word for it, we rather you listen for yourself. So, stream ‘Certified Hustler” now on all digital platforms and the official video on YouTube.

If you are a fan of Hip-Hop production then you know the letters MPC. the MPC has been a staple in hip hop production since the 80s and have gone through many models. the current crop of MPCs (MPC X, MPC Key 61, MPC Live/Live II, MPC One) are the most technologically advanced models with what amounts to mini computers inside. they van be expanded with SSD drives and sd cards, and have built in vsts and expansions. the cool thing is these can also be loaded with custom expansions and right now the leader of the custom expansion game is a small company called Cubilas. coming on the scene a few years ago, Cubilas provides custom sounds from other instruments and samplers converted especially for the new generation MPCs. from Korg to Yamaha, Cubilas curates the sounds and gets them right.

Cubilas says is a passion and labor of love to come out with these expansions (there are new releases constantly) and being a producer himself, its always challenging to push the envelope.

Steel Drumz back at it again

One of the hip hop games’ most diverse and interesting duos is back with their second full length album. The Argentinian and Bahamian one-two punch, who have made their roots in Miami, deliver a 13-track project full of “Gorilla Smackz”, pun fully intended!

With Miami legend Tony Castillo AKA Gorilla Tek at the helm, providing production throughout the entire project, it’s safe to say that they maintained the same chemistry as they did on so many stand- out tracks from their self-titled first album. As a founding architect of the Miami sound, having worked with the likes of Rick Ross, Trina, Grind Mode, Ball Greezy and a plethora of other Miami artists, it would be easy to try to put Gorilla Tek’s sound in a box, but not on this project.

While there are signature records like the infectious ‘Vibin” or ‘PT PT’ featuring Miami Legend McKlezie, the guys show their love of all sounds including East Coast where Steeldrumz find themselves on a boom bap track with two of the games’ legendary wordsmiths, Termanology and FAME of M.O.P.

Additional features on the album include Yogi Calhoon, a Bay area staple on the braggadocio upbeat ‘Swish’, DJ Killa K and Annishka on the sexy ‘Cocowater’, which is sure to heat up the gentleman’s clubs up and down Florida and Lace who provides sultry vocals on the album’s final and most serious cut, ‘Payola’.

After a complete listen of the album, there is no doubt the chemistry is there amongst the two artists and the producer. Purchase the brand-new album by Steeldrumz, entitled ‘Gorilla Smackz’, Executive produced by Steeldrumz and Gorilla Tek on all digital platforms now.
