If this ain't what NY sounds like, then I need to GTFOOH.

Another single from Dennis Kellman. This time DK is rhyming alongside the legendary emcee, Mr. Cheeks from The Lost Boyz. It's good to see Cheeks is still bouncing around in Queens. As Dennis says on his You Tube page, this song is a Freaky Tah Commemoration Record. Freaky Tah is up there with the greatest hype-men Spliff Star (Busta Rhymes) and Vinnie (Naughty By Nature). The Lost Boyz were never the same after the passing of Tah. RIP Freaky Tah

Still digesting this album. Quick notes. Slick Rick sounds really good over Beat Butcha & Daringer production. I'd like to hear more from these three. Hint, hint. I wanted to keep this site focused on the greatness of NY rappers but today will be an exception. Busta Rhymes has to find himself if he wanted to continue doing new music. He continues to dabble in drug transactions , and while that may be true - I find it odd coming from him. As a critique to myself, shame on me for just paying attention to Armani Caesar.

I love Mysonne Linen and the movement that he represents, however, it's a shame that in 2020 we have books written specifically for Black children to understand their rights.

Killah Priest gets very creative musically and visually.

Usually I have this done but uh...I need a logo.

So far, one person, suggested "headphones around a NYC skyline"

Any other ideas?

What NY Sounds Like is not a knock to artists outside of NYC.

The intention of the page is to highlight the visuals and sounds coming out of NYC.

We hope to inform you of songs that you don't or won't hear on the radio because NY radio prefers to play the same 30 songs over and over again. We're not your favorite DJ or host who claims that radio isn't about payola - yet you never hear anything different.

I just need some LIKES so I can get a custom name.
