Tink- ‘Winter’s Diary 3’

We are still loving Tink’s Winter’s Diary 3, the follow up to its predecessor, last year’s Vol. 2. The mixtape contains 10 strong tracks with production credits from her mentor Timbaland, C-Sick, Cookin Soul, and Jelan Abrams. Tink proves once again to be a refreshing voice in music. Although Tink has become one of our favorite rappers, this effort is aimed at her R&B fans. Tink proves with Winter’s Diary 3 that she is the saving force for bringing back what’s been missing in R&B. The quality of the tracks leaps off the page and will leave fans anticipating her upcoming debut album ‘Think Tink’. Winter’s Diary 3 is that intimate, thoughtful, internal monologue/ narrative driven, and emotion evoking R&B the game misses. Despite Tink’s young age (20), she knows her music! She often pays homage to those who came before her. The influence of the golden era that was ’90s R&B and classic early 2000s R&B are written all over this project!

Das EFX And Lords of the Underground Explain Their 90’s Era “Beef”

The 90’s was such a dope period in Hip-Hop. There was a groundswell of tremendously talented MC’s coming out of every ‘hood all over the land. There was also a lot of beef. Lyrics were exchanged between Das EFX and Lords of the Underground, both of whom had similar imagery surrounding their groups. Das was “straight from the sewer” and Lords was from “the underground,” which caused some to think there was tension. And then, Mr. Funkee of the Lords rapped, “We dropped psycho and everybody thought that it was DAS……. it didn’t effect me! Real Hip-Hop fans were like “Ohhhhhhhhh…..”

However, the beef that we saw never fully manifested itself. To this date, the story was untold. Skoob & Krazy Drayz of Das EFX and Doitall of the Lords recently met at – ironically – 24 Hours of Peace, a community event in Newark, NJ. AllHipHop’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur talked to the guys about what went awry and how they eventually fixed it.

Lord of the Underground – “Psycho”
