This lineup is insane! Three of my favorite emcees in Buff1, Shawn Jackson and Diz Gibran going in over a Cook Classics heater. It doesn’t get any better than this. Some more information:
Here’s a video of Buff1 and Diz working on a track called “The Best are Full of Love” with Cook Classics. The song was originally recorded by Shawn Jackson for The New ClassicsMixtape, but wasn’t used. In a recent session, we decided to revive the track with new verses from Buff1 x Diz and release it. The song will be featured on the new Buff1 project, ‘It’s a 1derful Life‘ as well as Shawn Jackson’s mixtape coming soon. Video by Greg the Dude.
Shawn Jackson has been doing his thing over in LA for a minute, but I never actually was put on to his music until about a year ago. First time I heard his hard-hitting wordplay was on his solo LP, First of All… Since then I have been copping everything he touches. This joint right here, over a Dibiase beat, proves once again that Shawn can absolutely annihilate any track he touches. Give it a download and let us know what you think…
Potholes In My Blog is proud to present hip-hop duo, New Jack Hustle to Open Mic Presents… The group consists of MC Shawn Jackson and producer Newman of Giant Panda. Their debut release has been released, Sound Check, and is guaranteed to keep your neck snapping. With a very unique sound, full of bumping drums, soulful samples and insightful lyrics; New Jack Hustle is a duo worth checking out…
Reyn: How’s it going guys? Thanks for coming out.
Newman: Thank you.
Shawn: Yeah, thanks for having us.
Reyn: So who is New Jack Hustle? Introduce yourselves.
Newman: NEWman on the beats, Shawn JACKson on the raps. Simple as that!
Reyn: How did you guys meet, and when did you decide to make music together?
Newman: I heard Shawn on a song he did with Mekalek from Time Machine. The song was called “Dream Come True”. I knew I wanted to try and get him some beats as soon as I heard that. Shortly after I heard that, I gave him a beat CD, he recorded “Go!” to one of the beats within days. It was pretty effortless. I think when we realized how easy it was to create music together we decided we might as well do a whole project.
Shawn: Boom.
