PUSH! Montana - Dreamerzzz (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: "FRESSSSSSSSSSH!"

Freddie Gibbs x Madlib - Thuggin' (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: First and foremost, big S/O to my brother-from-another-mother Hoya MC for putting my blood brother Jason AKA Niketown onto this song whom, in turn, put me onto this heater thanks to incessant decibel busting Apple® iPod Touch® sessions whilst on our daily route literally, ridin' around and gettin' it.

In the days to follow my introduction to this vibrantly villainous ode to the "G-Code", this song kind of took on a "Brotherhood Of The Travelling Gat"-like quality as I put my brother-from-another-mother Mandalay Jay AKA "Hulk Slogan" on, who then put yet another 1 of my brothers-from-another-mother on, PUSH! Montana, and so on and so forth.

How could we not though? This song is incredible and this video ... THIS video my nigga is gutter exposé National Geographic Drugs, Inc. status! Once I seent homie prepping for that home invasion with that "U-Turn" banana clip on deck (NOTE: A favorite among Southern gentlemen of ill repute, particularly those hailing from New Orleans), I knew that this visual would break all kinds of realness records for 2012! I L.O.V.E. it! Hood shit. Good shit!

The NYC Premier Of Young Jeezy's "A Hustlaz Ambition" Docu-Movie @ Sunshine Theater x After Party @ Beauty & Essex @ USDA2DAYTV.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yup, "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle" knows how to bring the hood out in full force every muthafuckin' trip!

Now, of course your standard issue music industry movers and shakers paid loyal homage to Young Jeezy on the eve of the release of his oft pushed back "T.hug M.otivation 103" L.ong P.layer (NOTE: And now Y.O.U. know what L.P. stands for ... lol) and made the proper pilgrimage to NYC's Sunshine Theater for the premier of his Samuel L. Jackson narrated docu-movie, "A Hustlaz Ambition", followed by an after party @ the swanky lounge-as-gastropub Beauty & Essex, but seeing my brother-from-another-beautiful-mother PUSH! Montana and Wink Loc in attendance just took this event to another level! SMH. Is there anywhere on GOD's green earth that Brooklyn DON'T go? That's a rhetorical question my G. Yes, I am unabashedly partial to my niggas ... and there is absolutely nothing that Y.O.U. can do about it CHUMP! LOL. C.T.E. Wooooooooooooorld!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  One of the latest trends sweeping the world of Hip Hop music is that of established artists crafting sequels of their heretofore most acclaimed works.  However, whereas this currently popular practice often serves as a career crutch and is a transparently desperate gimmicky attempt on the part of many acts to connect their successful past with their uncertain future, for a handful of talented boom-bap auteurs, such invocations of a previous project are truly a return to their personal classics and a welcome addition to their still growing legacy.  Such is the case with PUSH! Montana and his DJ "And Like That ... We're Gone!" Drama hosted "When Push Comes To Shove" Vol. 2.

All personal bias aside, my brother-from-another-mother, PUSH!, is on an upward trajectory - whether the Hypebeast controlled message boards realize it yet or not - that few (NOTE:  And I literally mean like less than 10 other currently active rappers.) can match OR catch!  Yall aint gotta take my word for it, but Y.O.U. should.  I mean, seriously, I have spent the better part of the last 3 years curating a far reaching and diverse platform of interests for ALL members of the greater Livestyle community to draw inspiration from and reference in their day-to-day lives.  My nigga PUSH! caters that "Soul food, for your soul fool" serving up heaping portions of glistening fishscale bars that can and should be counted as some of the rawest musings of any MC today not only for their street life intricacy, but more so because of their alone-in-my-my-thoughts-as-I-sit-in-my-squatter-@-3AM introspective intimacy.

From intro to outro (NOTE:  Yes, Kyle and I BOTH know that I've gotta get the fuck in the studio ASAP my nigga.  I've already got some of that official Acetone stinkin' work ready shun.  Y.O.U. DID call it right though ... lol.), the self proclaimed "Waiter" delivers that "Certified" "Live Nigga Rap" and invites the world to witness "The Bizness" on his terms.  Hey, Y.O.U. already know ... "Every superhero needs his theme music" (NOTE:  That's an O.G. "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" quote right there boys and girls.  I would normally publish a brief explanatory adendum to this post to school yall, buuuuuuuuut, this post is all about supporting my brother and his latest project.  Act like Y.O.U. know).  Good shit!

"FRESSHH..Waddup Shake


In the midst of the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards festivities this past weekend, PUSH! and DJ Drama linked up in the streets of ATL and announced their collaboration on his upcoming mix-tape When PUSH! Comes To Shove Vol.2 - Gangsta Grillz Edition. The tape is scheduled to drop October 25, 2011 and will include two (2) previous heard tracks, "Live Nigga Rap!" (feat. Count of L.E.P.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: What the current crop of thoroughly uninspired Republican candidates shrilly refer to in public bouts of buzzword fever as cronyism, I simply call looking out for my family. Nepotism need not be a dirty word, particularly when the person in question is of such meritorious resonance as my brother-from-another-beautiful-mother one PUSH! Montana.

Mexican Border wars and droughts be damned! The homie PUSH! is back on his route with a loud pack of politically tinged audio dope for your Monster Beats® by Dre™ headphone syringe that carries an estimated street value of ... PRICELESS. I see Y.O.U. my nigga! "When PUSH! Comes To Shove Vol.2 - Gangsta Grillz Edition" is on the way! "FRESSSSSSSSSSH!"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Have no fear my fellow aficionados of all things "fresh", a new era of innovative and invigorating music is upon us as heralded by the the dynamic D-Boy exploits of PUSH! Montana and Curt@!n$. In this post "emo" rap world, my confederates and I aspire to offer Y.O.U. something different - an unmistakable elevated aesthetic taste that permeates everything that we do.

To get the "8-Ball" rolling, allow me to hit Y.O.U. with this quick PUSH! Montana featuring Curt@!n$ fix entitled "I'm Alive". Don't even trip homie, this 1's on the arm ... lol.

Anyway, I have the distinguished pleasure of calling each of these fine young Hip Hop track cannibals extended family, so one can easily imagine the pride that I take in posting this dope collabo that I found leaning in my inbox earlier today. Yes, good hood music is most definitely "Alive" and well my nigga. Brooklyn does it again!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Never let it be said that Chris Live AKA Shaker is not a family man. I take immense pride in having created a platform in Livestyle which allows me to trumpet my beliefs on what constitutes the best that this inspirational and aspirational lifestyle has to offer. Such pride increases 10 fold when I have the opportunity to introduce Y.O.U. to the works of my brothers and sisters in arms who wage a daily war against Trendoid forces and their ongoing "Wack Attack" assault upon all that is hood. Case In Point: PUSH! Montana. Longtime readers will no doubt remember his name, but this is about so much more than name recognition. This is about art ... in this case, conveyed through the medium of powerful music.

Listen, I get it. As Hip Hop matures, people my age (and, sometimes even younger) have stopped being able to relate to a large segment of our culture that, ironically much like the Republican Party, is strongly anti-intellectual and gleefully pro-ignorance. At the other end of the spectrum, the success that was built on the back of the trap has been abandoned by most mainstream media types in favor of "flavor of the month" pseudo-new age rap gurus who equate sappy emotions and tight clothing with some kind of Avant Garde progressiveness. I can't fuck with none of them clid-downs ... real niggas meet me in the middle of the road. I don't deal in extremes, I deal exclusively in quality and truth is the only currency accepted here. The homie PUSH! and I both know (NOTE: And have had lengthy conversations regarding this fact) that, sadly, too many of today's Hip Hop fans have the attention span of a mosquito. In light of that, PUSH! has decided to take it back to the E.xtended P.lay format (THINK: Old school cass-singles and sampler tapes ... lol) to parcel out his latest dope material.

With his newest offering, "The 5 Heartbeats", PUSH! Montana manages to continue to excel @ providing the listener with graphic lyrics that, while intricately detailed, are not overly complicated or clumsy. This is most assuredly NOT your run of the mill shaved-down-Tone®-soap-sold-as "Crack Rap". In the beats department, this bold Brooklyn bearer of the Black Flag wisely chose to enlist the services of such up-and-coming beatsmiths as Chase N Cashe and Rico Beats whom, alongside the E.P.'s other contributors, give this project a lush soundscape that compliments PUSH! Montana's pensive prose.

As thoughtful as he is "thug", this labor of bulletproof L.O.V.E. is right on time for Valentine's Day weekend. Message To PUSH! Montana: Get money son! LOL. Good shit!

Streaming Audio/Purchase Link: Soundcloud.Com


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: From its inception, Livestyle was created to expound the intricacies of good sense and style with regard to music, arts, clothing and culture ... think "Money, Clothes and Hoes" elevated ... lol. As an artist myself, this self erected platform has served me very well in the year and some change that I have been building this brand and I am always proud to share this stage with my family that truly represent the grind.

PUSH! Montana and I go back like we lost something - this brother-from-another-mother is 1 of the few MC's stepping into this game that I give a fuck about ... I've never been down with doing something "strange for some change" just to get on ... lol. Hosted by Philadelphia born, Atlanta based super producer and DJ Don Cannon, "The Rebirth Of Fresh 1.0 (No Floors)" is a cohesive collection of records and freestyles that showcase the homie's full sonic and artistic range ... 1 dimensional PUSH! is not. Truthfully, in this day and age, being an unsigned talent can be a blessing as evidenced by PUSH! Montana and his latest effort.

Free from the burden of being tethered to the pipe dreams of delusional A&R's, PUSH! is able to smuggle his raw snowflake laced bars past customs and his competitors and manages to deliver a stellar follow up to his last mixtape "When Push Comes To Shove". I mean, what else would Y.O.U. expect from a Black Flag waving Brooklyn boy? Shout out to my brothers-from-other-mothers Mr. 401 K, Mandalay Jay and, of course, Walt Live! Support a real nigga why don't ya!? Good shit!
