We at 401hiphop.com  get blessed with dope tracks from local artist that often times end up in our Feature Audio section. This time around we have something for your viewing pleasure as well. Before I get into particulars, I would like to go on the record saying that I (as should you) tip my hat to these young(er) cats for putting forth the time and effort to deliver quality product. So whether you are a fan of this video or their music, you gotta give props where props is due.

The creators behind this high energy joint are M.I.C.(M.usic I.s C.ulture) ft. Logik. The duo[M.I.C] comprised of emcees Voz and Frank Fitted, team up to blow the competition away so to speak.The video was shot in the Onleyville section of Prov, and was directed by talented up-and-comer TRAV. While watching the video it is plain to see these cats are having a good time and don’t take themselves too serious.When asked about the vibe of the video they said “We wanted to give the video a fun feeling, we want the viewers to laugh and also experience our element and type of style we have”, which for the most part I would say they were successful in doing just that.

“Bombs Away” is a buzz record for their upcoming EP “Hurry Up and Buy”. M.I.C says we can expect a similarly rambunctious and up-beat feel from the EP,”which is fun and also true Hip Hop at it’s core”. We also can expect possible collabs with Joey ZuZu. ZE and of course Logik.  As well as production from themselves the Ep will feature joints from Ghana and The A-Team (AWOL, LO-Style.and Big Will C). Keep on the look out for that, in the mean time check out “Chilling on the Block” and “Mz Ladi Da”.

There’s no place like home. I feel safe in assuming we are all familiar with this saying and its connotation. Apparently Jotsone has his own take on the phrase. Once you listen to the track affectionately titled ” New England (Fuck You) ” it is crystal clear what that take is. Its definitely no secret that there is prevalent ” crabs in a barrel ” vibe in the RI / southern MA music scene. Although not the first to address this issue, Jots make dam sure he puts his 2 cents in.

If you’ve been keeping up with Jotsone’s more recent stuff, this is definitely a departure from that. This is straight Hip Hop, pure and simple. With a super smooth / funky instrumental provided By Josh G, it was pretty much Jots’ job not to fuck it up, and he didn’t. Jots is currently working on his album ” Nothing Good” tentatively slated for a summer/fall release.

Being a local artist myself i can feel where he’s comin from. Shit is real. Take a listen to see if you agree with his outlook on the current climate of our scene. Lets us know if you think this scathing critique is a spot on snapshot, or a jaded emcee’s empty rhetoric.

I almost forgot. I could be wrong, but after a few listens I think I noticed some subliminal (or not so) shots being fired at a fellow 401 emcee ???
