UllNevaNo & MANHE Re-release SHAMMGOD Singles On Lathe-cut 7-inch, Cassette Tape & Digital Album (MGNTK. & In The Lake Records)



Fresh on the heels of his marathon 4-Hour Tour this past Saturday, May 5, 2018 with The Ghost of Len Bias EP collaborator John "Jumbled" Bachman, Baltimore emcee UllNevaNo has returned with his latest slam-dunk of a release, SHAMMGOD; a 9-track EP consisting of tracks first released during UllNevaNo & MANHE's weekly #SHAMMGODWEDS Soundcloud series. Now, properly re-collected as simply SHAMMGOD on a special lathe-cut 7-inch and limited edition cassette tape released by MGNTK. and Illinois-based In The Lake Records (ITL Records) with a bonus MANHE instrumental entitled "Coupleofem." SHAMMGOD EP is of course, named after notorious Washington Wizards player and Dallas Mavericks assistant coach God Shammgod FKA Shammgod Wells, but this is far from UllNevaNo's first basketball-themed release. Lest we forget, Neva's illien rosewell-produced Confidence Is Everything II (CIE2) released during the 2015-16 Season on ITL Records, "WRK." produced by Ohbliv, and The Ghost of Len Bias EP with Jumbled. SHAMMGOD boasts features from MGNTK. affiliate Yung D' The Pilot on "Girls Pt.2" and JBerd—who released OVERTIME CD's on the label last year—on "Downtown." SHAMMGOD was recently featured within the latest edition of okayplayer's weekly Mixtape Monday column, along with releases from the likes of Maja 7th, Tokayo, OSHUN, Fly Anakin & Ohbliv, Foisey. Stimulator Jones, and more. UllNevaNo & MANHE's SHAMMGOD EP is currently still available from both MGNTK. & In The Lake Records in either super-limited clear lathe-cut 7-inch, limited edition icy blue cassette tapes, 7-inch & cassette combo-pack, or standard digital release; however, supplies are extremely limited and once they're gone, they're gone for good!


"Baltimore emcee UllNevaNo and Norfolk, Virginia producer MANHE have released consistent bangers of raw Hip-Hop for purists that truly respects the craft and artform. The duo brings to the masses SHAMMGOD, a metaphor stating that Neva is nice with the rhymes and treats his lyrics similar to God Shammgod's handles by keeping the ball on a string surpassing so many defenders, who attempted to guard him. "Check Me Out" is Neva's cover letter for this album. MANHE captures classic nostalgic Boom-Bap vibes, as the Baltimore emcee effortlessly boasts how nice he is with the raps. "Fight Klub Pool Table," which has been getting plenty burn on Rap Is Outta Control SiriusXM, finds Neva paying homage to the vintage battle league and showing that he can bring that same energy to the airwaves as a Funk Flex freestyle. "Time Wasted" finds the intricate emcee getting more personal and expanding his versatility, touching on topics ranging from the struggles of a local rapper to exposing faults in a love interest relationship. SHAMMGOD is an album filled with layers that has to be decoded after a few listens and shows drastic growth from the Baltimore emcee."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
