Photography // Tom Gould And just to clarify what you might have heard, I never left these dice I throw ‘em until there’s nothin’ left in life.

In lyrical moments such as the aforementioned, an excerpt from the album’s opener, “Dr. Kimble” — Bronson quickly solidifies his stature as one of today’s master showmen simply by leaving it all on the court. Start to finish, the album captures the energy of a glorious entrance and enchanting exit, and in such a manner, it finds an eccentric voice in the art of communicating identity through music.

Queens has a star on its hands with standout artist, Flee, and considering the unmatched consistency that he has maintained throughout his career so far, the sky truly is the limit for him and his camp.  Today, Flee makes his return to Lyrical Lemonade to unleash a brand new double-feature music video for “Thanksgiving” and “My Bitches Shoot Too”. Directed by Strange Nature, each of these sets of visuals bring Flee’s vividly entertaining lyricism to life with a keen eye for detail. The first of the two shows the NY native at his Thanksgiving dinner table, playing the role of numerous family members, while the second brings us into Flee’s car late at night, surrounded by women as he details the reasons he isn’t to be messed with.

An artist that goes by the name of Nesta is making his Lyrical Lemonade debut this morning with the premiere of his brand new project titled “Shook My Dreads”. Nesta was born to Rastafarian parents in Queens New York, and spent his early years absorbing the music that his parents would play in the house, including that of his father, a respected musician himself. There is a total of six records provided on this tape, and after running through it for the first time my initial thoughts were how unique this guy was as an artist, he is unlike anyone before him. His ability to create catchy melodies by flexing his vocal abilities is unmatched, and you would be hard pressed to point out any flaws on this EP. Stream this brand new offering below and if you like it be sure to keep up with Nesta’s movement by giving him a follow on Twitter here!
