Da TrackRunnaz Are Back

What's happnin world? Had to stop by and drop the good news... After much speculated anticipation, Da TrackRunnaz are back and better than ever before! Hiro and myself recently linked up and decided it was far past time to get back to work and give our undying supporters what they've been asking for since our last project over a year ago.

Atlas Studios co-pilot Hiro has been busy working on a solo project set to be released in the near future, so clear some space in your phones for the download when it drops. The style and charismatic style of DT has been revitalized times ten and boosted with an injection of lyrical dynamics and song structure. The music has progressed to new heights and will have listeners soaring higher than before, outdoing hits like "Underdog,"  "Caped Crusader"  and the smash hit" Goin Ham" featuring King Diggy.
I think everyone is in for a huge surprise when they hear the new and improved sound that DT has to offer. We've both been working on separate projects but never lost the spark that brought Atlas Studios to be in the first place, and things are only getting better. Hiro has a few songs leaked on SoundCloud that truly show off his new style and delivery, while I'm in the midst of promoting my new project "Mixxtape 21"  so we are pretty damn busy at the moment. Not to mention the new management and production deals on the table...

We appreciate the love and support shown on a daily, and I'm really excited about this future of D.R.P. and Atlas Studios. We've grown so much and come so far, and there's still a lot of life left to travel. We thank everyone who's had an influence in our careers and as always, we will continue to bring  you the dopest muzik the South has ever beared. Check back in later for next muzik updates and more from the team. Later dayz, D.R.P.

Heaven Gained Another Angel

We're all together in this world. People become friends, friends become memories, memories last a lifetime. Now if you guys know me, you know I'm a loner and don't keep as much company as I used to. Friends are very few and far between nowadays, and two days ago, I lost one of my closest people I can truly call my friend. Ryan Cutchins, age 33, died of a heart attack and it has taken a huge toll on me. I just found out today (Saturday) and this shit hurts like I keep reliving Thursday. We met via craigslist and instantly became good friends. We had a 10 year age difference but that never stopped the good times from rolling like they always did whenever I stopped by his crib. From the dope conversations about music to the never ending convos about the good greens and fire trees, my nigga was just the shit all dat. He had a swag like a chill hippie with the voice of a surfer and the laugh of Seth Rogen, mixed with the always welcoming and friendly personality that everyone grew to love. He constantly showed me love on my muzik, shooting tips and pointers as well as personal input, helping me develop a style that would set me apart from the rest with ease. I'm an avid Kid Cudi fan, and one day I wore one of my Cudi t shirts over to his apartment and it sparked an hour long conversation lol. Man Ryan, I swear nobody done it, did it or will do you it like you my nigga. You helped me out when friends were invisible and family turned their backs, and I hate that I can't repay you homie. We had plans to take off and demolish the music industry and keep you on deck for every event I had coming my way (I mean catering by the best chef in the city? It goes without saying that we were gonna be in business together lol.) I guess it's just crazy how so a cool ass person could be gone just like that. I just spoke to my boy this past Monday, just three days before he passed and everything seemed fine. The Lords has mysterious ways of putting people in your life who you'd never expect to be around let alone be best friends with, but Ryan was one of a kind and I promise he will truly be missed by me and mines. I know he's in the Cloud Castle in the sky, kickin back to some Cudi with a smile as big as the sun is bright. Chillin like a king. Rest In Peace homie. I promise I'll take this music as far as I can take it and dedicate each and every performance to you bro. Til we meet on the other side my nigg, keep lookin out for ya boy...

NEW VIDEO BY THE WEEKND

I finally got around to watching The Weeknd's new videos and they are exactly how I expected them to be... Dope as shit! The simple artistic output and use of everyday shadow and light transitions cast a broad light on what some would call "dark."  I appreciate the videos and the songs even more, and if you're a fan like me, you will too... Check out "Rolling Stone"  below and as always, stay tuned. Later Dayz, D.R.P.
