Lock Shit Down

by Subverse on July 21, 2010

If someone sat me down and asked me to play songs that embodied what good hip-hop is all about, I would play “Lock Shit Down” for them. It’s no surprise that these two MCs who’ve always performed best in a group, make perfect rhyming mates on this cut. If you haven’t copped a lot of good rap lately, this one is going to make up for that unfortunate dry spell you (and I) have been suffering through.

From the time I discovered there was a world of great music seething beyond my brother’s record collection, I have spent the majority of my energy exploring music that is new to me. I grew up listening to hip-hop, electronic and jazz. By the time I was 14 I started bedroom DJing. During high school I started my perpetual mixtape quest. Eventually I amassed enough gear and dirty-used records to turn what should have been a laundry room into a home studio. Two of my songs where deemed worthy enough to be included in Fun Fun Fun Recording’s Mp3 Jackpot Winners Vol. 1 – Meditations (by a father), and Sick. It was during that exciting time that I first heard of MP3. I immediately saw how artist like myself would be able to exploit this new technology as a vehicle for delivering music straight to their fans. Subverse2ten is the latest median that I use for discovering, filtering and distributing new music to music fans who find themselves always slightly ahead of the curve. I still hold the same enthusiasm and love of new music as I did when I was a kid. I hope you enjoy the music you find here as much as I do.
