Da Brat and Bow Wow putting in work?

Da Brat Fresh out the clink putting in work

   One of the best things about the Internet and all the hip hop sites is that underground artists can finally get the exposure that they really deserve. Another thing is artists that's trying to stay relevant without a legitimate CD on the streets can do so via mix-tapes and gorilla videos. For those that don't know gorilla videos are videos that signed and unsigned artists produce and pay for out of their own pocket. The idea of a record label keeping an artists relevant while in the acts down season never was a factor. But now many of these artists are blowing up these hip hop sites.

    One of these artists is the very popular Bow Wow. Even being signed to powerhouse record labelCash Money Records he still uses the gorilla video method to stay relevant and at the same time re-brand himself as an adult artist. One of his new joints and gorilla videos is titled You drink to much. Now when you see the video you can tell it's a gorilla video. One of the main things about gorilla videos is for the most part acts don't spend that much money creating them. So when checking out his new video don't be shocked when you see Bow Wow just sitting there rapping in a close up shot right in the middle of your screen. Now when it comes to the song itself, I'm feeling the more mature Bow Wow rapping about mature topics. The beat is a mid-tempo club banger. And with the drinking subject matter, this joint should be rocking the clubs all summer long.

    Another joint I'm feeling right now is by New York rapper Cormega titled Fresh. The production has a laid-back vibe to it, perfect for cruising in your freshly washed car on a hot summer day. But the beat isn't the hottest thing about the joint, it's the features. This song features Parrish PMD Smith, Grand Puba, Krs-One, Big Daddy Kane andCool DJ Red Alert. Now this joint showcase some of the best lyricists in hip hop history. So if you haven't gotten your fill of real lyrics, this song is for you.


Another artist that's been putting it down on the web isDa Brat. Since being released from jail Da Brat has been blazin up the web with her remix verse of the hit single by Chris brown titled Look at me now. One of the hottest things about her comeback is you can pretty much follow it on the Internet. Speaking of that, I just saw her working it with Jermaine Dupree performing her hit single I'm going to give it to you. When I saw her she was far from a washed up rapper, frankly speaking I think she is the only female mc that can rival Nicki Minaj. Check out all these videos @ ill-board.com. Until next time have some fun and get something done.
