Criticize my Hustle by IL Lusciato

This month fellow rapper/producer/musician and Branded Baron supporter IL Lusciato is releasing new songs. This is second of his "Summer of Samples" series and I definitely like the beat. I always thought he had some good jazz sampled instrumentals and he raps over it talking about his hustle being criticized. He said, "This is for anyone is chasin their dreams hard as they can and has ppl always trying to "advise" you . . . tell em to do what you do then talk . . . REPOST if you relate to this esp my fellow hiphop crowd . ."

Definitely check it out the songs, since he'll be releasing it via youtube first at http://www.youtube.com/user/illusciato

Album: Twelve Jazzy, Housey, Lounge Jointz

If you guys have listened to Raw Radio, you would have heard of one of the hosts was Larry "Il Lusciato" Krayn. Some may not know that he is a musical artist from New Jersey. Maybe you'll be shock he usually releases hip hop albums, but that is not what he only creates. He has always produced jazz influenced beats and he decided to take it a bit further. This is an instrumental album that he always wanted to do and worked on it on and off from 2004. There are no samples only original instrumentation.

Larry had to say this about his album, "I believe any true musician should start expanding and showcasing different styles and genre's. This type of experimental/electro-jazz music is something I've always enjoyed doing and I'm glad that the final collection has become so widely available."

Now we both know that this isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea, but I think you can appreciate the creativity and originality. I spoke to Larry yesterday and we both agreed that an artist should always continue to grow. So you can purchase this album at iTunes for $10 or grab a song that you like for $0.99. It's good that iTunes has long previews, just in case you are unsure about the music, but I like the music.  Listen/Buy here: View In iTunes

Larry "Il Lusciato" is a Branded Baron supporter and has a couple of shirts and sweatshirts.

RAW RADIO Online-Sponsored radio show

On one side you have "Stunningly Fresh" and on the other side there's "grimey" and "raw". Both go hand in hand, they're yin and yang. Since, life isn't always fresh it's only right to show some of the rawness. Here comes the online radio podcast "Raw Radio", which is a highly entertaining, sometimes politically incorrect, sometimes politically correct, shock radio. I've stumbled across it, when one of the hosts was originally appearing as a guest. I've tuned in and it's quite funny with their ranting and raving with little excerpts that remind me of vintage "The Man Show"...sometimes. I will say it's not for everyone, but you may grow to like it. They have an in your face view on the world, but you have to listen and judge.

Tonight will be the newest episode of Raw Radio and they'll be coming out guns blazing. If you go iTunes and listen from the first episode to when you listen tonight or the latest episode, you'll see that it is becoming a very more professional show. Who knows maybe I'll be interviewed on the show. I'm sure I have some raw Branded Baron stories.
