TIME Festival 2016 Featuring PRO ERA, Kehlani, & Run The Jewels
TIME Festival 2016 featuring headliners Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, & Nyck Caution of PRO ERA, Kehlani and Run...
Compromised of Pro Era members Dyemond Lewis and Swank Master Raw, the Supa Slackas are a down to earth, expressive, and laid back duo. Passionate about raw authentic hip hop, the two have released their third single together "Brillance".
Produced by MKSB, the jazz influenced guitar loop and hard hitting kicks and high hats provide a perfect landscape for the Slackas smooth flows. Possibly inspired lyrics by recent socials controversies, Dyemond and Swank Master Raw rap about fair judgement, equal rights, spirituality, and the freedom of artistic expression and breakdown to give every listener relatable content.
With no word of any projects in the works, besides the affiliation with Pro Era, the Supa Slackas definitely have the potential to become a pivotal hip hop group in New York scene and are already gaining a cult following.
Riding off the worldwide success of Pro Era's Captain Joey Bada$$, the Brooklyn crew has released an array of quality singles to follow up his debut album and its not stopping anytime soon. The newest release from the stacked roster is an A La $ole collaboration with Domo Genesis (a member an equally talented crew, Odd Future) in an east meets west tribute to their coastal cities.
Never straying from an underground vibe, A La $ole and Domo Genesis rap with a street conscious and display their surprising organic chemistry on "Where I'm From". Produced by New York's Jordan Granados, the instrumental combines New York's boom bap and elements of West Coast hip hop to create a breezy and intellectual composition. With the music conveying a strong message of unity and equality, A La $ole goes further to say "I want you guys to see and understand where Doms & I come from. Even though I'm in Brooklyn and Domo is from Cali, we have many similarities being the artists we are and the situations we've been through."
Since the 90's it has not been common to see artists overlook the infamous rivalry between the east coast hip hop and west coast hip hop. The honourable demonstration by A La $ole and Domo Genesis proves the immeasurable potential of possible collaborations that could have been and can still happen.

For those familiar with Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, it is understood they're talent runs deep through the roster. Members like CJ Fly, Kirk Knight, and Dyemond Lewis have all impressed hip hop audiences internationally with their versatility on the mic and as producers, However the one Pro Era emcee that really stands out is Dessy Hinds.
Born in Brooklyn, New York Dessy has has all the advantages of living in the birth place of hip hop and has truly embraced the culture and traditions. Known for his lyrics and soulful productions, the ILLMC has flashed his skills on many Pro Era tracks but has now released one of his own. Produced by Pro Era's main producer Statik Selektah, "Homecoming" exemplifies exactly where Dessy is currently resides and where he's headed.
"Homecoming" is lyrically driven and displays a wide range of rhythm schemes that displays a striking performance that needs no assistance. Discussing topics like his crew and the music business, it may be safe to assume that this strong single might lead to a potential debut sooner rather than later. Interested in showing your support?
