"I wrote this song about 5 to 6 months ago and didn't realize how much it matters to my career and personal life right now. I feel Im in a position thats scary but still exciting. I've lost close friends, and gained closer ones. I've lost love, and gained stronger love. I've moved in places and made mistakes. Yet this year has been the best I've ever had, and I've made changes and experienced changes over all for the better. This is a reflection, and testament for myself personally, and the whole NEATO Nation. Embrace change, and make it your own. N.E.A.T.O - Never Ever Allow The Obscene "

r.O.b and Dee Goodz fuse their fresh Uptown and Nashville styles on this smooth Curtis Williams production. This Audio master piece describes the point of when one's journey has come to fruition and becomes Topic Of Discussion.
In this video, Elzhi takes his audience back in time to the Mid-90's, and into Maurice Malone's Hip-Hop Shop. The Shop was the heart of the Detroit hip hop scene where many collaborated, battled and shared music. It was there that a young Elzhi first grabbed the microphone to prove that he had the ability to become one of the greatest rappers alive.
Music executive and artist manager Jae Barber, also a Detroit native, provided an authentic picture of the world Elzhi revisits in his nostalgic spin on Nas' classic song, "Memory Lane." The video includes rare visuals of various artists such as Eminem and Royce da 5'9. Amongst the many artists included are the late Baatin, Proof and J Dilla.
One thing I’ve always respected about Naledge and Double O, is that throughout their career, they’ve consistently reached out to up and coming artists and given them a chance to shine on a bigger platform.
Whether it be Chip Tha Ripper, Black Milk or Vic Mensa, it’s clear that the Kidz have a great eye for bright talent. So it’s only right that they recruited some of Chicago’s new class for the remix of their red hot single “Pour It Up.” King Louie, Vic Spencer, Rockie Fresh and Paypa spazz out over Double O’s “Triggerman”-inspired soundscape. Chicago hates you? Not here, and not today.
I’d also like to invite you to purchase the Kidz new album Occasion now. It’s that perfect holiday gift. Ha! - Andrew
