Frazer is a hip hop artist from London who comes up with a genuine style of his. His assets, An original style, good instrumentals, a nice flow delivery, good lyrics and an undeniable sense of humor.
Frazer’s music resembles to nothing else I have heard in hip hop yet.
Sixteen talks about a misunderstood teenager’s broken dreams. Built on keyboard and rhythmic drum sounds, the song introduces you into a teenager’s mind. When you’re sixteen, you have your whole life ahead you, but many teenagers don’t feel well into body and mind, because they experience lots of problems. Facing that you’re not a child any more and haven’t stepped into an adult’s world can make one feel uncomfortable.
Many teenagers have some ideals, but they don’t know how to reach them. Their head is full of (often inaccessible) dreams and beers and weed seem to be an easy consolation.
The track will allows you to visit a pissed teenager’s mind thanks to Frazer’s talent.
Double Standards has a little jazz/ blues flavor and intelligently points out politicians’ hypocrisy. Frazer’s sense of humor is highly enjoyable.
Do human rights depend on our financial condition? It looks like it is often the case.
Don’t sleep on the well written song!
Eat Your Own Words: I particularly enjoyed that track, because I can relate to it. I carry this dream of being a writer since I was 6 and music (of any kind) has always been part of my life. My family never believed in me. I guess nobody is prophet in his/ her own country.
People who are blood or often very close to you don’t share nor understand your passion. Worst, some of them even try to discourage you from reaching your goals. Oh yea, people, you can eat your own words, because determined people always manage to be where they wanna be- with or without your support.

MOUNT CLEMENS — The first hearing in the divorce proceedings between rapper Eminem and his wife, Kimberley Mathers, was held behind closed doors Thursday in Macomb Circuit Court.
Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Mathers, entered court through underground tunnels and secure elevators early Thursday to second-floor courtroom of Court Referee David Elias, who was sitting in for Circuit Court Judge Antonio Viviano.
Kimberley Mathers entered through the court’s main entrance with her lawyer, Michael Smith. Following the status conference, she was escorted out of the building by a Macomb sheriff’s deputy to her Lincoln Navigator. They declined to comment after the nearly hour-long hearing.
A settlement conference is scheduled for Sept. 19.
This is the second divorce proceedings for the couple. Eminem filed for divorce on April 5, just 82 days after walking down the aisle at Rochester’s Meadow Brook Hall.
In May, Kimberley Mathers filed a counter-complaint in Macomb Circuit Court in response to Eminem’s divorce petition. She is asking that she and Eminem share joint legal custody and that she be awarded physical custody of their daughter, Hailie, 10. Additionally, she is asking for financial support.
The original divorce papers filed by Eminem cited the reason for divorce as “a breakdown in the marriage relationship.” Eminem and Kimberley Mathers were first married in June 1999 in St. Joseph, Mo. He filed for divorce in August 2000. The divorce was finalized in October 2001.

Street Child is back with a brand new diss aimed at Gucci Mane.
In his song, Street Child addresses to Gucci Mane who first dissed Young Jeezy and Jay Z first.
Offensive keyboard sounds are combined with some gunshots and Street Child operates with knifelike words. Gucci Mane gets stomped lyrically, words run from Street Child’s mouth like rapid bullets from a gun.
It is sometimes funny to see how much weak emcees like Gucci Mane talking about big emcees like Jay Z who already made it in the game- mostly out of jealousy.
Some underground emcees have the talent and keep grinding until they reach success. Some others- the bitter ones, the untalented ones are often big attention freaks. Most of them are conscious that their whack songs won’t make them famous, so their non hidden strategy is to target a famous player in the game and to talk shit about him. Nobodies like Benzino did that with Eminem, some other untalented guy from Detroit I won’t name would use the same kind of rotten strategies in order to peddle his worthless Cds.
Street Child totally exposed fakes like Gucci Mane and managed to make him look ridiculous. The rapper from Virginia has some good skills and will make you, listener, enjoy the lyrical murder of Gucci Mane.
Enjoy the well written song here.

There is a hot new talent on the Detroit underground scene that you’d better not sleep on, because he is pure fire. I am very enthusiastic about this artist named Young Miles, because he is a very complete hip hop artist. You will be able to enjoy his skills, his instrumentals and his flow as well. Like Detroit emcee Lazarus, Young Miles is also a great player when it comes to lyrical battles. He puts his rival down in no time with his incisive words full of humor. Watch him battle against Critical in presence of RIP Big Proof and Bizarre and the brilliant emcee will make you share his passion for hip hop. He rips his rival off with no mercy, so enjoy the spectacle.
On his my space account, you will also be able to discover Young Miles and X- Factor’s Fuck Mookie video.
The video has those typical raw Detroit accents. His words aimed at his enemy are sharp as knifes. Young Miles and his fellows proudly represent 8 Mile. The voices you can hear on the video are dark, offensive, surgical, ready to rip off people who are running their mouth for nothing. Mookie gets ridiculed to the fullest by three emcees who master their art.
The comparison with Kriss Kross is funny as well. I never liked that kind of hip hop that I consider as weak as Bow Wow’s appearances on TV.
Mookie’s manhood gets questioned with lots of humor and irony.
Young Miles will make you appreciate his diss track to the fullest.
I Got A Story To Tell is built on an oriental melody and some catchy beats. Listen to a thug’s story. Young Miles raspy voice gives the track its particular flavor.
Is It What It Is is introduced by some soft piano sounds and rhythmic drums that will increase the overheated atmosphere. A true OG doesn’t leave any place to the fakes.
Young Miles has some obvious artistic qualities: a quick flow delivery, some good instrumental, creative lyrics and a strong personality.
What’s the prognosis? Young Miles is probably going to make it big in a near future.

Two Detroit men were charged Sunday in the drug-related killing of a 31-year-old man who was on the scene when rapper Proof was shot at a nightclub.
According to Detroit police, the victim, Gerald Rosic Gadie, was with Proof — also known as Deshaun Holton — on April 11 when Proof shot Keith Bender Jr., 35, a veteran of the Persian Gulf War, during a dispute at the club. Proof was then shot by Bender’s cousin in what officials later ruled as self-defense.
Gadie drove Proof to a hospital, where he was dead on arrival, police said.
On May 27, police found Gadie in the basement of his home in the 19300 block of Hull in northeast Detroit.
He had been shot to death, apparently in a dispute over 20 pounds of marijuana and $7,000 stolen from Gadie on May 14, police said.
John Henry Williams II, 31, and Corey Frazier, 29, were arraigned Sunday before 36th District Court Magistrate Millicent Sherman on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a felony. Frazier also was charged as a four-time habitual offender. First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Williams’ attorney, David Braxton, said his client had no criminal record and that the case against him was largely based on statements Frazier had made to police.
Frazier had no attorney present for his arraignment.
Sherman ordered both men held without bond, pending a June 30 preliminary examination.
