Busta Rhymes Unites Flipmode And The Conglomerate On New Banger

Salutations FM Trendsetters! Busta Rhymes been in the hip hop game for 30+ years.  Within those years, he been a part of Leaders of the New School, to Native Tongues (the 90s rap collective with A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Jungle Brothers) to the Flipmode Squad.  Then in 2008, the half Long Island native,  half Brooklynite formed The Conglomerate, along with Flipmode associate Spliff Star.  So as Busta Rhymes fans, we have to ask ourselves,  what would it be like if the new artists he birthed on The Conglomerate was to gang bang on the track with the original Flipmode Squad.  For the culture, Busta Bust answered the age old hip hop question last night, October 18th, with the release of a new track, in which has the whole social media in a frenzy right now!  Busta Rhymes brings us “Flipmode Squad meets The Conglomerate“.  A hip hop, boom bap filled track, provided by long time collaborator, DJ Scratch.  Bars over bars, over snares and drums, mixed with a little drama from the keyboard functions.  Warning: This track is only for the hip hop heads and longtime Flipmode Squad and Busta Rhymes fans.  If you do not know why this is a historical alliance, then please exit, stage left.

#FreshJuice Rampage – Remington Steele: The Payback | @therealrampage

Flipmode Squad’s First Lieutenant, Rampage along with The Heat Music Group is proud to present Remington Steele: The Payback Mixtape.

The 13-track mixtape is a follow up to his first Remington Steele mixtape and was wholly produced by Felony Muzik. The mixtape features appearances from Conglomerate member Baby Sham (“Filthy McNasty”) and some fresh new faces such as Dayo G. (“The Oasis”), P-Thoro (“Trouble”), vocalist Londyn Blue (“Money Bags”) and Nick Perkins (“It’s Over”).

The overall production from Fel is amazing, very well put together. The vibe of the beat connects to Rampage’s lyrics and enhances the tracks overall. The mixtape will be part of the movement to bring real hip hop back to what it should be. You can pick up Remington Steele: The Payback, free to download, on bandcamp.
