Big Boi & Sleepy Brown – Can’t Sleep

Big Boi and Sleepy Brown have a history of making dope collaborations. With the both of them coming from the legendary Atlanta based hip hop collective, Dungeon Family, they have been deep rooted in the bubble up of southern hip hop (“The South Got Something To Say!!”). Sleepy Brown is 1/3 of the production team Organized Noize, which was critical to creating the sound that would shape Big Boi and partner Andre 3000’s multi-platinum, iconic group Outkast. Their chemistry brought forth the chart topping classic, “The Way You Move”. With Sleepy’s laid back vocals and Big Boi’s in the pocket flow and player seasoned lyrics, the combination is a undeniable vibe.

Keeping it player as usual, the two unite again to release the visuals to their new single, “Can’t Sleep”. Shot in the Little 5 Points neighborhood of Atlanta with the internationally famous Outkast mural in the background, Big and Sleepy bounce effortlessly over a slow tempo and proceed to spit that game. Guess that’s why they can’t sleep…because the ladies keep calling. Out now on all platforms and spinning on Ground Up Radio’s regular rotation! #PRESSPLAY

Watch Jadakiss – Kisses To The Sky

Posted on February 2, 2020 by groundupradio

Watch Jadakiss – Kisses To The Sky Lyrical heavyweight Jadakiss checks in with a new visual for “Kisses To The Sky”. The track is a cinematic soundscape in itself with piano riffs and strings over a laid back bass line. Kiss enlists another bar heavy wordsmith in the likes of Rick Ross and Emanny brings the rappers’ verses together with smooth vocals that toast to the good life. A dope merge of styles between the collaborators as they make this track resonate. The video wouldn’t be a Jadakiss product if there wasn’t a theatrical twist to the story line. Pretty women, fly fashion, dope music, and a gangster twist to the plot takes the track to the next level.
