| It's the borough that birthed babies who turned into giants. Among the Hip-Hop landscape, Brooklyn has always held a special place as one of the meccas of lyricism, storytelling, and raw talent. When one narrows in the lens even further, the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant just might represent the oasis of Brooklyn's greatness. From that oasis emerges OCKZ.
After an acclaimed debut on HALAL CHINESE FOOD, a somewhat slept-on opus that's been called "the Muslim Illmatic," Bed-Stuy's native ahki OCKZ comes back with grown mannish enthusiasm on his forthcoming THE STUYVESANT CHRONICLES. Inspired by all of his neighborhood influences, his love for jazz and bodacious beats, and his high respect for his industry peers, OCKZ's THE STUYVESANT CHRONICLES is likely to be the street project that finally makes his name rise to the cluttered rapper surface.
Look for features from Bed-Stuy neighbor with the niceness SKYZOO, Buffalo's larger than life mic monster QUADIR LATEEF, one of the sturdiest in the city FRED THE GODSON, the ever-ethereal PATTY CRASH of the Legendary Roots Crew, renowned poet JESSICA CARE MOORE, and stellar production from Grammy winning team, THE HEATMAKERZ, and mixing by DJ PRIORITY .
THE STUYVESANT CHRONICLES is just weeks away! Until then, post and enjoy the first single leak below! |
