[Exclusive] ROME CLIENTEL - "How Can I Not Fall"

Since I first heard New York emcee Rome Clientel I was absolutely floored by his unique wordplay, well written and thought provoking lyrics and great ear for beats. On his first three mini albums ("The Empire" series) he worked with producers such as ATG, Just Blaze, Kount Fif and others but the truth is that the Elmira native is actually skilled in the trade of beat making himself too. This is proven on the exclusive Lost Tapes single "How Can I Not Fall" where Rome hooks up a melancoly piano melody underlined by some real hard ass drums which almost works as a counterpoint to the otherwise somber, laid-back jazz vibe of the track. Rome is in fine form as usual on here as he's never one to shy away from getting introspective which is just what the beat calls for. "How Can I Not Fall" is nothing short of a piece of art, and I am very, very grateful to Rome for letting The Lost Tapes host it as an exclusive, and I also want to send peace to my man The Militia for his help in setting it up. TURN IT UP!!

[LT Premeire] ASN / DA BEATMINERZ - "Everybody Got It"

"Everybody Got It" is a real hardcore banger, which reflects the majority of music heard on the upcoming compilation album "The Uprising". It features ASN proving he's an emcee destined to break into the game by any means neccessary. And over Da Beatminerz taking it back to the basement with that bass heavy groove, superb cuts, and smacking drums nontheless - can't go wrong with that!

"The UpRising" in question is a new project from our team (M-Phatik Sounds, Tokyo Cigar, The Lost Tapes and promoter/art department DubMD) have been worked on for quite some time. It's something like an album, it's something like a compilation, it's something like a mixtape - but the music on it is previously unreleased and most of it is new. Trust me when I say that you're gonna love this if you love that raw boom bap sound. Check for the second and final single to premier on here in a few days time and then the final date for the album release will be unveiled as well. TURN IT UP!! (Click here if you don't see a player)
