Rita J knows how we want it

“You want it Dirty and Grimy, underground slimy. You know where to find me, soakin’ up the rhyme, G.”  That’s how she starts her verse for “16 bars of gold” and she gives us exactly that with the release of her debut solo album, “Artist Workshop”. It was put out on an independent label called All Natural Inc. with whom she has been involved since 2002. Her smooth rhymes and street sexy flow suits the superior production that keeps the album bangin’ throughout.  If you want a “Taste of Chicago” no need to go any further.  With the help of collaborators, including Guilty Simpson, and Rashid Hadee, she delivers an essence that will please that real hip-hop lover’s musical palate with a tasty mid-west flavor.

In the words of one of our featured artists, Senor Kaos, “Swagger is nothing, talent is everything”. We tried to keep that in mind as we invited over 30 of Atlanta’s finest MCs to bless the wax pressed beats dropped live in the studio by the very talented, DJ Dainja. The master is finished, the cds are in duplication, and the anticipation is building.

The continuing concept of this mixtape is as follows: Combining the old definition of a mixtape (live DJ mixing) with the new idea (MC’s spitting over various beats). “16 Bars of Gold.” After all, the 16 bar verse… is the measure of every MC’s worth.

Here is the official list of lyrical artists that will be featured on 16 Bars of Gold Vol. 2…
