Ear To The Streets :: THE 3RD Brings the club to your car
Post by Big Yogi
The Flypaper is here to do our part and so we present yet another edition of Ear to the Streets. This edition is all about you getting your FIX. What’s the FIX? It’s the dopeness that is THE 3RD, pressed up and put into your musical veins. Elevator Music Ink, Team Invasion Midwest, and DJ Giovanni have put together a classic mixtape from hip hop group THE 3RD titled CLUB IN MY CAR (The Fixtape). THE 3RD consists of members RASHAD, P.A. FLEX, CO CITY, BLAKSMIF, and SHAKES. Producer/Singer/Rapper RASHAD of the 3RD has recorded many major projects through some big labels and has collaborated with hip hop artists such as JADAKISS and STYLES P of the LOX but his group THE 3RD have been a favorite here in the city for years. For their latest project, THE 3RD teamed up with DJ GIOVANNI and TEAM INVASION MIDWEST (shout out to CFAVE and the crew) and have created the perfect blend of fresh lyrics, mass appeal, dope grooves, and street stories. Their title track ‘Club in my car’ mixes jazzy horn samples, simple drum and bass lines, steady flow , and RASHAD singing a soulful chorus. THE 3RD team up with other trailblazers in the local music scene throughout the Fixtape including L.E. from FLY UNION and WALLABE on the music hustle themed ‘CD’s out the trunk’. World Renowned DJ/Producer J. Rawls lends his talents on the track ‘The Rooftop’ featuring TRAV DAV.
CLUB IN MY CAR (The Fixtape) ends off with a banger ‘Hustler’s Prayer’ with JADAKISS spitting fire over a RASHAD track.
Over all THE FIXTAPE is solid and rivals some of the best mixtapes I’ve heard in the past year. The CD has a variety of sounds and is a fresh change from the norm. Now it’s time for the city to stand behind their artists. There is some HOT music right here in our city and it needs a platform. If the radio won’t play it then we need to find a way to get this music out. Any ideas? Until then stay stuck to the FLYPAPER while we keep our ears to the street.
