For Namesake is the latest project released from acclaimed Detroit artist NameTag & his producer Nameless. This release form he Motor City duo is nothing short of Extraordinary and refreshing, breathing new life back into the rap game while paying homage to the groundwork that many legends in the game laid. The combination of cleaver wordplay & heavy punchline fueled rhymes from NameTag, and eclectic hard hitting beats from producer Nameless, this entire project elevates itself from rap album to an addictive head nodding and true to form Hip Hop experience.
In the area of features NameTag was not shy about calling in some true next level talent with appearances from a couple Detroit legends, Miz Korona who is feature on ” Reaction”, Guilty Simpson on “Raw, Dirty, Filth”. and his blood cousin Black Milk on “OxyMoron.” With serious features such as this Nametag does more than hold his own he skillfully matches bar for bar & makes his presence felt. He also enlisted the lyrical prowess of his younger cousin and fellow up and coming Detroit artist M.A.H.D on the songs “Notchos” & one of the first singles from the album titled “HookLess”, where these two effortless assault the beat with viscous lyrical punches essentially letting other artist in the game know that they are hear to make a statement. He lastly called on young Detroit Vocalist Chell to help lay the smooth melodies over the “Teacher” where Nametag gives a deep introspective tale of loosing his mother to breast cancer and his trained relationship with his father who battles drug addiction, ultimately resulting in a deep heartfelt song that is sure to touch the souls of those who listen.

Campaign Trail 2 is a follow up to Pauly’s last EP “The Campaign Trail”, and after reaching out to Pauly & getting a preview of a few tracks I can say I was impressed and I feel that this is set to be some of his best work yet.

This 12 track album is filled soulful samples and powerful lyrics detailing the struggles, life, and overall upbringing of a young man trying to make his way in Detroit. Chavis starts off the album with the track titled “yesterday”, featuring his camp mates from the Verbal Vomit crew where they attack the lack of realism & Lyrics in today’s Hip Hop and call a challenge to any whack MC intentionally spitting whack lyrics and constructing whack music. Chavis also skillfully details stories of his life growing up in the streets of East 7 Mile Detroit & how his struggles molded his ambition & drive and help shape him into who he is today with tracks like “Chavis” & “Stay True.” Chavis also hits home for all Detroit natives with one of his signature tracks “Lou’s coney Island” where he describes his love for the simple pleasure shared by all Detroiters that is, THE CONEY ISLAND!!!
