Soldier Click – “5 Days Notice”

Band : A.O, Cavon Folkz, Chaos NewMoney, Faith Manian, Its A L Beat, kimi and ki, Og Esco, Pooch Dolla, Serious Beats, Smiley Costa Lott, Soldier Click, TNR, Vibe 1, Victory, Young Chop
Title : 5 Days Notice
Release Date : November 8, 2013

Sdot Gang dropped their latest on November 8, 2013. This was the coldest group in Madison for several years and it kills me to Ogee Esco is locked up. I met the defacto leader of the group back in 2009 and he’s come so far since then.

The other members Cavon Folkz, Pooch Dolla and Faith Manian keep the torch lit but it ain’t the same without Rio Escobar. I hope to see the Mad City squad work a lot more with Victory in the future too. This is a raw sound – and with Soldier Click’s work ethic – they will take off with this. It’s just a matter of time now.

Chaos NewMoney & OG Esco – “XIX”

Band : A.O, Chaos NewMoney, Leekeleek, Og Esco, Scattered Brains, Victory
Title : XIX
Release Date : September 27, 2013
Label : AFGM, Solgohamy Ink

These two artists linked up to create one of the best collaborative tapes the city has ever seen. Chaos and Rio head up AFGM and Sdot Gang, two of Madison’s most talented groups. The local rap moguls have the city going up with this clean collection of autotuned Drill-Pop (September 27, 2013).

Soldier Click – “Currently High”

Band : A.O, Castro, Cavon Folkz, Chaos NewMoney, Dill, Faith Manian, Flame The Ruler, Lotice, Og Esco, Pooch Dolla, Soldier Click, Victory

Soldier Click aka SDOT Gang aka 1947 aka Solgohamy Ink laced this one up on March 24, 2012. An incredible piece of art from Madison, Wisconsin. Victory and A.O on the beats.

Here’s the video for “The Crash” :

These are all clean. “The Great Escape” x “Karma” x “The Crash” are my favorites.
