Earlier this year, the SMKA production team collaborated with Sean Falyon to release Sean Falyon Meets SMKA. That project alone put a lot of people on to Sean Falyon (like me) and it will hopefully do the same for TRIMM. TRIMM is a rapper out of East Point (ATL) I can definitely listen to on a daily basis. I’m anxious to hear when the next _____ Meets SMKA EP comes out.

“The Comeback” is another track from Mike Classic’s upcoming Where Amazing Happens and, since it has been a little over a year since he’s released a full project, “The Comeback” is an ample warning of what’s to come. Where Amazing Happens drops on Christmas Day.

Back in September, it was the anniversary of Jabee’s brother’s death and he made this song in remembrance of him. The ARE thought this beat would complement the subject of “family, friends and ‘Blood’” and suggested the beat for this song.

Jabee – Blood (Produced by The ARE)

I wanted to create a song that had a purpose and was uplifting from the usual shake ya booty booty music most of these doja’s put out (yes shots were just taken BANG)…
