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

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
