This is the newest single from S-Preme’s upcoming Sicktape Vol: 2 and could be one of my favorite songs of his to date. The overall sound for this track is very polished and I was really feeling it. When I hear new S-Preme, almost every time he has outdone himself from before which is the mark of a fast improving rapper and someone hungry to get better despite already being very skilled. The tape drops a week from today on Nov. 10th so get ready for it.

I can already tell this is going to be a quality day of posts for us here at B&B, first we drop the new Darren Hanible tape and now we get the first single from S-Preme’s upcoming Sicktape: Vol. 2. The beat is by Soundtrakk and features a sample and a smooth, soulful beat which Preme murks with his crazy fast flow. S-Preme hasn’t been releasing a whole lot lately and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for this tape because he has some of the best lyrics of all the underground cats that I’m into right now. If you aren’t familiar then check out his tracks “Snakes in the Grass” and “UR” and you will see what I mean about his lyrics.

S-Preme is releasing his Sicktape Vol. 2 soon and this is the trailer to get everyone excited for it. I have to say I was laughing throughout certain parts of it, especially the light saber part in the booth at the end lol. The tape should be sick (ha ha) though and it is something I have looked forward to since we ride for Preme hard over here. He definitely has the B&B stamp of approval and is the cat on the come up that I listen to the most out of Chicago, check him out for yourself!

Here is the latest video from Nando. off of his newest sicktape Super Nike Nando. He spits about some real life situations on this song with a little help from Mr. Marvin Gaye on the sample. I am liking the concept for the song and video and this was my favorite track from the whole project so I am glad to see the video depicts the lyrics of the song well. The video is directed by ABB and click on the link above to get it.

Here is the latest from our artist of the week, Nando, and it was delivered soon after midnight the day he said it would be released. I haven’t even had the chance to take a listen yet but the reactions I have read so far have all been positive so that is saying something. If you don’t know who Nando is then you should check out our interview we conducted with him last week and click his name in our Artist of the Week section to the right to go to his Myspace page. You can also download this sicktape and get the tracklist below the break to get yourself acquainted with his music.

The artist formerly known as NandoMcFlyy. took some time out of his day to grace our artist of the week section to the right. See our interview with him below and check for his Sicktape dropping soon and for him to be on our own B&B mixtape which should be dropping soon too (hopefully for real this time lol). Both projects will be worth copping and if you follow the site I don’t think you will be disappointed with our first effort at a tape. I really wish I had more time to make this interview longer but am glad I got the chance to do it at all. Without further adieu click the break to read our interview with Nando!

“We in this bitch like what up! Respect the master plan, if not, shut the fuck up!” Yeah I been bumping this joint since I made the playlist of What I am Listening To… and Nando finally hit us with a video for it. The song is incredible with taking that Japanese sounding (maybe it is, maybe it isn’t) sample and turning it into an anthem. He will be our next artist of the month too so be sure to look out for the interview and some tracks. Nando also has his Sicktape! dropping in about a week so if you like this be sure to cop that.
