NXS (North Side Story) – “2 For 11” | @northsidestoryofficial @dvaliaskhryst

When you think of Jamaica, Queens two things always come to mind, kingpins and superstars. While the south side of Jamaica, Queens is mostly known for drug czars, the north side has the richest history of rap royalty that Hip Hop has to offer. From Run DMC to LL Cool J to A Tribe Called Quest the back blocks of Hollis, Farmers, and Linden have given birth to nothing but Hip Hop superstars.

Enter NXS (North Side Story), hailing from the infamous ”Rock” a landmark on the legendary Farmers Blvd, this group seamlessly bridges the gap from old to new like never before. The trio consisting of two brothers Good Money and Jus Glo who are the sons of a GRAMMY award winning mix engineer, and their lifetime friend Relly Band$, this group is on the fast track to stardom with their debut project Should’ve Went Platinum.

When asked about his early beginnings in music, Good Money or “Goodie” for short, laughs and says , “I dunno man… My pops always talking bout how I was conceived in a recording studio. All I know is I’ve been rapping since like 5 yrs old. I put my first mixtape out called “Young Boss Music” at 12. Me and Jus was doing shows and all that stuff back then!!! He was my little hype man feel me, years later he started rapping then my bro Band$ started showing up to the studio and that was it. North Side Story was born!”

Their debut project Should’ve Went Platinum is the perfect blend of beats, bars, and swag, as these three effortlessly weave in and out trading ideas and points of view like true vets. While Jus Glo the 15-year-old baritone of the group has “his choppa doin’ handstands” Relly Bandz, the quiet assassin, brags about his $900 pair of “bloody bottoms”. Meanwhile Good Money paints a vivid picture spitting bars like “Niggas cant see me can’t breathe either and when I come around niggas breathe ether”.

Coming from a strong musical stock and a neighborhood rich in history, North Side Story has big shoes to fill indeed, but judging from Should’ve Went Platinum, this Queens bred trio is off to the right track.

Should’ve Went Platinum is available for download on Datpiff.com now!

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
