BP Presents STONEFACE + WILLIAM COOPER / KOOL G RAP + 9th PRINCE

Back in early 2010 I stumbled across a pretty damn stupid ill EP by emcee Stoneface and producer BP, two representatives of the Gem Starr moment (Black Market Militia stand up!). BP's soulful golden age-esque sound has formed a valuable platform for artists such as Tragedy Khadafi, Timbo King, Shyheim, William Cooper, Killah Priest, Nature, Cappadonna, Masta Killa, and even RZA, amongst others. Stoneface hasn't really done very much from what I know but he's definitely a talented emcee with a lot to say as proved by his previous EP, "BP Presents... Stoneface", which I strongly recommend. "Illadelph Threat", which you hear above, is a loose track from the vaults in a series of previously unreleased songs that BP unleashes every Monday. The previous songs in the installment features William Cooper / Cooper and 9th Prince respectively. Check them out below.

BP Presents STONEFACE EP

Stoneface (birth name, Jason Miller), a representant of the Gemstar Regime, is someone I believe heads dwelling here @ The Lost Tapes will have a lot of appreciation for. Over hardhitting but soulful East Coast style beats supplied by BP (producer of Black Star Militia, 9th Prince and William Cooper) Stoneface's lyrics conveys knowledge of self while staying true to the gritty street element represented in the vast majority of good hip-hop music. Followers of the words from Tragedy, Hell Razah and William Cooper not yet familiar with Stoneface are likely to find a new vocalist to absorb dope and intelligent music from. Besides a free EP entirely produced by BP for Gemstar Regime and cameos from 9th Prince and William Cooper, Stoneface recently shared the experience of surviving a  nearly fatal gun shot to the head which cost him his eye sight on A&E's I Survived: Beyond & Back which should hit the Tube any minute now (you'll find a teaser in the link).
