How can you let your dreams turn into nightmares? It’s quite clear. You didn’t try hard enough. Or is it that you don’t care? And if you didn’t you can’t hate your boys when they shine; running in them streets when you should’ve been on your grind.
– Aural Essex

Right behind the single my folks drop the visuals AND “The Grand Arrival” (EP). Good work, fellas. Stop all the “Charades” and get on that grind…hard! Hip-Hop needs this from Boston’s finest – Aural Essex and Strobe IW. ‘Two cats from Boston, (Dorchester to be exact) who love hip-hop, anime, graffiti, and the truth,’ according to their Facebook fan page. Good dudes. Came across a good while back, listening in to Boston’s Time Travelin’ Radio (hosted by my good people DJ Nomadik and Darcie Nicole… what up ladies). Called into the show, chatted ’em up, and stayed in touch. Proud to know them.

Usually Essex is the main mic gripper; leaving the beat banging and business wrangling (for IW Records / Dorchester Univercity – label / manufacturing & merchandising) to Strobe. But on this chumpy, props given to producer Jamille Malik for music so cold I get shivers.

Well, enough from me. Watch the fellas take it to the streets in the video above. And as always, you can follow me at my Twitter handle below.
