Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 02, 2013

Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes announce the release of the “Danny Bonaduce" video by Three Fifs and O So Amazin. The project, presented by Coast 2 Coast Video Distribution, is now available for view on YouTube.

Fifs is a St. Louis rapper, who has always been a fan a music. With an upbringing that took him from homelessness to living in the suburbs, he is able to relate to various audiences. His lyrics embody varied experiences which allow him to easily connect with listeners. Fifs graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and was poised for law school until a spiritual awakening led him to a career in music. After deciding that music was his life’s purpose, he wrote his first song and came to believe his words are meant to inspire and uplift generations of listeners like his earliest influence Tupac.

Determined to be the voice in rap that promotes change and progress, Fifs uses inspiration from Tupac as he aims to create music believe in. Since the release of his debut project "The Runaway EP" in January of 2012, Fifs has released several videos for singles.

Fifs is a two-time 2nd Place Coast 2 Coast Online Live Events Winner, a two-time 1st Place Coast 2 Coast Live Events Winner, and has gotten airplay on DJ King Assassin's radio show. In the near future, Fifs will be featured on a compilation album helmed by Tory "Flossy the Boss" Harrelson, president of Mack 10’s Hoo Bangin' Records. Fifs has also been selected to perform in the St. Louis Underground Music Festival (SLUMFest) and the St. Louis Fringe Festival.

Music videos that go above and beyond your typical block / party / kitchen sequences are not only appreciated, but necessary to help transform the scene where we expect more than recycled hip-hop byproducts.

If you remember anything from the first post here in Put on Your Sneakers, remember this: Just because your sneakers are on DOES NOT MEAN the suit and tie are off.

The perfect example of such an experience came from DJ Suave. Although by day he is a mild mannered manager at a Fortune 500 corporation, he spends his evenings as a successful DJ in Florida, Atlanta, and now the DMV (Shameless Plug). As all DJs are at events, he’s always attacked by the multitude of aspiring rappers that grovel to have their records spun for exposure.

A particular aspiring MC slid him a track at a set and he obliged, on the guarantee that the music was a clean track. Of course, as the profanity flew, Suave had to mix his way out of said track. Suave kindly sent the young man an email, advising him to un-profanitize his “clean” track before it could get some deserved air time. His response:

“Ite bet I gotchu.”

Translated, that means “I comprehend your statement regarding the current edit of my music and I will be sure to revise the future copy of my song that I provide to you.” However, the young man already sullied the opportunity to get another chance by not taking the time to properly articulate his email. The music Nazi hath spoken.

NO SPINS FOR YOU!
NO SPINS FOR YOU!

When he posted the picture, the first thing that I could think of is that a lot of people that are aspiring rappers have not taken the time to perfect the craft that is professional development. If rapping is a profession, then ideally you should be able to understand what matters are formal, informal, and critical to your business. You may be able toss every 4-letter word under the sun in a track, but you’d need to be able to switch to your professional voice at a whim. Jokingly, I suggested that aspiring rappers should watch the Lil’ Jon skits from Chappelle’s Show, in which the faux rapper screams his signature “whats, yeahs, and okays,” then flips to airtight, articulate English.

You need to use nettiquette. WHAT? I said...
You need to use nettiquette. WHAT? I said…

But honestly, I’m not convinced that even young aspiring rapper understands that a rapper is more than writing songs-even beyond the nature of MC’s getting their hands up. Society may not laud most rappers as poet laureates, much less professionals, but it is vital for young rappers to show that the cover of their book shouldn’t be judged.

Finish this lyric: “I start to think, and then I sink/into the paper, like I was ink…”

If you know said lyric, Rakim not only has soul, but you know he’s a professional writer.

Dear young rapper, you’re a professional. The thought processes of rappers go unnoticed, as many times, people will tell you rap is NOT poetry at all- simply words put together about shooting people, selling drugs, and making hips gyrate in ways that would get you kicked out of your respective high school dances. But let’s take the time to appreciate that rappers have to manage so many other intellectual and professional functions just to rock the mic.

You have the RZAs of the world that have not only written scores of music for many movies, but have also written the screenplays for a few and collaborated with award-winning directors such as Quentin Tarantino. You have the Ghostface Killahs of the world that have used their skills of storytelling to write an amazing set of comic books to spin one of the most imaginative mob stories this side of Goodfellas. And of course, you have Homeboy Sandman, an Ivy League degreed rapper (See also: Kidz in the Hall) who left a law school opportunity to rap, yet also moonlights as fantastic guest columnist on gawker, writing some scathing social commentary.

Just because you aren’t writing in iambic pentameter or flinging haikus back and forth, you are a professional. Matt Daniels took the time to analyze the first 35,000 words of rappers albums compared to the first 5,000 words of 7 Shakespearean plays and the first 35,000 of Mellville’s Moby Dick. If you take the time to look at the graph and analysis, you find that there are several rappers that exceed the number of unique words both of these world renowned scribes use (The Roots as a group, RedMan, Canibus and Andre 3000 among others). Even more interesting, many of the rappers that we continue to laud for their intelligence (Tupac, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco) are slightly behind the classics. Furthermore, several of the savviest businessmen that are publicly praised for their shrewd business decisions (Jay-Z, Drake, Eminem, 50 Cent, Puff Daddy) are less than the literary giants.

By the numbers, Wu-Tang transcended the likes of Shakespearean plays and great novels when comparing the amount of distinct words in the first 35,000 words of their discography. Diversify your bonds and vocab. Bong Bong.

The information you could pull from the data is eye-popping, however, it does teach us two lessons- (1) sometimes it isn’t the words that you say, it’s how you use them that shows how sharp you are, and (2) just because you’re a in an industry not known for professionalism does not mean you shouldn’t learn how to handle your business. There are finance, marketing, and management opportunities teeming in every industry. With that said, here’s just a few things I’d want to pass on to unconventional professional:

Build a support system: Make sure you surround yourself with people that understand business that can help you in places where you may not be strong in, or may be able to give you a devil’s advocate view of your business perspective that you wouldn’t otherwise have. One of my favorite tracks right now, Deion’s House by Black Milk shares a story about a guy who knew one of his best friends was destined for great things, even though he was a bit of a knucklehead. If you’re surrounding yourself and pushing the people forward that need your support, hopefully, it will be reciprocated when you push yourself to the next level.

Just read: Read a little about business. Just read in general. Young rapper, rapping doesn’t mean don’t read. There are multitudes of rappers you listen to today that went to college for a little while, or even graduated (Bun B, Wale, 2 Chainz, amongst the multitude). Just because some of you future rappers won’t go to college does not excuse you from broadening your horizons. Read about business, philosophy, OR YOUR FUTURE INDUSTRY even.

Planning is a priority: Three Fifs is an up and coming rapper that you’ll be sure to hear from in the future. He most recently performed at Canadian Music Week 2014, where he was one of 14 American hip hop musicians selected of 101 other hip-hop acts and almost 1,000 total musicians. He recently left the comfort of his home and financially lucrative profession in St Louis to move to Florida to actively push his rap career. “The music business is expensive- it takes a lot of time and money. It’s taxing to figure out which of these so-called promoters has your best interest in mind and won’t rob you blind,” Three Fifs proclaimed. “In order to make it, I have to understand the marketing and operations of the business so that I can place myself in a position to be living comfortably and pursue my passion.” To be able to get to where he wants to be, Three Fifs has a written plan, plus articulated goals that he expects to pursue. Understanding the importance of all aspects of the business, we briefly discussed many business fundamentals that he had to learn and comprehend. Three Fifs echoed the sentiments of DJ Suave from the story of our profane, slang-toting rapper that professionalism is imperative. Ironically, as we closed our conversation, Three Fifs asked me to make sure that any media that I post of him is him in one of his signature blazers.

Three Fifs and DJ Suave, true Suits and Sneakers Men.

I’d like to personally thank both of these gentlemen for spending some time to talk to me and share. Suits and Sneakers would never thrive without people’s experiences that we can apply to everyday use. Please check these guys out! -DF - Suits and Sneakers

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) JUNE 23, 2015
Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes presents the release of the "Blind The Sun" single by 3Fifs. This new single is currently available to stream and download on the Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes website.
"Blind the Sun" is the anthem for the American dream. The song was written by 3Fifs, produced by Tony Jones of Tag Team Productions, and features songstress Lydia Lyon, and fellow emcee Garrett Julian. A strong melody, bold hook, and powerful verses with a flow that perfectly nails the production highlight this strong statement song. Mike Love, the recently stepped down Senior VP Program Director for Cumulus Media, has gone on record of saying "this could be the song of the year." Already achieving rotation in international markets, 3Fifs is set to make history with this song.
3Fifs (Three Fifs) is a St. Louis, MO born hip-hop artist who, as opposed to simply making music, aims to make history. Since releasing his first full-length project “Birth of a Nation” in February of 2013, Fifs has gone on to earn several accolades: his debut single “Castro,” which featured west coast emcee Mistah F.A.B. In addition, 3Fifs was nominated for “Freshman of the Year” at the 2014 SLUM Fest hip-hop awards, and in May of 2014, became one of only 14 US hip-hop artists chosen to showcase at the Canadian Music Week, performing live at the Hard Rock Café in Toronto.
Following his international acclaim, 3Fifs relocated to Atlanta, GA to expand his reach. After hearing his music and viewing his music videos, Mike Love (CEO of Bluetag Media) decided he had to work with the rising star.
“You have the potential to turn this game upside down. Your style is unique, your music is high quality, and you have the sense to know how to make it all work.” – Mike Love
Over the course of the past year, 3Fifs has withdrawn from the public eye while working on his new release “The Runaway LP,” a very personal testament about his journey since he decided to pursue his music career. To be formally introduced by the single “Blind the Sun,” Fifs promises fans a true evolution in his music from every aspect while they look at and listen to history in the making.

Inspired by the storied past of African-Americans, the name “Three Fifs” is representative of the three-fifths compromise, and his first release “The Runaway EP” is a conceptual piece that follows the story of a runaway slave. With his latest release, “Birth of a Nation,” the Midwest lyricist achieved international radio play with his songs “We Dat” and “Castro” being picked up in 8 different countries by 23 different radio stations, and his music video for the song “Danny Bonaduce” was aired on MTV’s RapFix. - STL Home Jamz

With this release, Fifs targeted a broader audience, and enlisted support from fellow St. Louis storyteller Streetza Ria, and west coast veteran emcee Mistah F.A.B. Singles from “Birth of a Nation” have attained international radio support, and the music video for “Danny Bonaduce” has gotten a lot of press; including from MTV’s RapFix.

3Fifs (Three Fifs) is a St. Louis, MO born hip-hop artist who, as opposed to simply making music, aims to make history. Fifs is a veteran in the game. Since releasing his first full-length project “Birth of a Nation” in February of 2013, Fifs has gone on to earn several accolades. His debut single “Castro,” which featured west coast emcee Mistah F.A.B., went on to receive rotation on more than 40 radio stations worldwide. His follow-up single “Danny Bonaduce” was featured in over 100 blogs and the video was aired on MTV’s RapFix. His single “Jim Crow” was was acknowledged by industry vet Tory “Flossy” Harrelson as being “extremely original.”

Following his international acclaim, 3Fifs relocated to Atlanta, GA to expand his reach. After hearing his music and viewing his music videos, Mike Love (formerly the Senior VP Program Director for Cumulus Media, now CEO of Bluetag Media) decided he had to work with the rising star.

Over the course of the past year, 3Fifs has withdrawn from the public eye while working on his new release “The Runaway LP.” This is a very personal testament about his journey since he decided to pursue his music career.

“In April 2014, I left my hometown where I had achieved status as one of St. Louis’s top new hip-hop artists and had a six-figure day job,” says 3Fifs. “It was a complete step of faith, as I had nothing lined up elsewhere, and was simply counting on my talent and ambition to make something happen in Atlanta, GA.”

The Runaway album is more than just a collection of songs. Its the pinnacle of what the struggle in life should be. It paints a picture of striking out on your own with nothing holding you back but you.

“The Runaway LP is the story of the American dream and follows my journey since the release of my internationally acclaimed debut album, Birth of a Nation,” States 3Fifs. “I moved, got engaged, quit my job, re-released old music with new marketing, and set full focus on making history in the music world. The music is inspired by negro spirituals, gospel, jazz, blues, and bench-marked against 2Pacalypse NOW.” - AfroEduc8r

3Fifs, who’s from St. Louis, Missouri and currently resides in Lake Worth, FL, clearly brings his Southern influence to his latest tracks “Big Drip” and “Dive in Deep” which will make you bounce, bop, and want to hear more.

With a sound similar to Big KRIT and Ludacris, 3Fifs might have next in the hip-hop game. 3Ffifs has an effortless flow that rides the beat in an impressive way. Also, the “Wade in the Water” flip on “Dive in Deep” is clever.

Both are overall dope tracks. Listen to “Big Drip” and “Dive in Deep” below. - The Urban Twist

Despite the updated big booty bass sound and feel of his most recent single “Big Drip,” the Florida-based artist known as 3Fifs generally has generally had a more-heard-hitting style during his decade-long career. The St. Louis native uses his diverse musical style to drive his deeper points home, as is exemplified in the re-release last year of one his of first and heaviest singles, “Dive In Deep.” Now with his return to hip hop, this Urban Songwriter of the Year is just getting started.

3Fifs’s name is a clear reference to the oppression and enslavement of black people in the United States, and his music started off with the same message with his debut single “Dive In Deep” and his 2013 album, Birth of a Nation. “Dive In Deep” featuring Lydia Lyon appeared later on the equally visceral The Runaway EP and is a jazzy update on the classic “Wade In the Water” spiritual song sung by enslaved people in the south.

“Dive in Deep” is the first song I ever recorded, but I never promoted it; despite all my day-1 fans encouraging me to do so. As someone inspired by Black history, I knew I wanted to flip a Negro spiritual, and “Wade in the Water” was the first one to come to mind. I wrote the song in my head while I was working a job at the mall and thinking about the type of woman I wanted…“Dive in Deep” is my signature song: it represents everything I am as an artist – smooth, laid back, introspective, and classy. The story and the beat are sexy, the video features my brother, my sister, and my cousin, O So Amazin’, who was tragically taken from us too soon.

3Fifs’s tie-ins to black history aren’t always in his vocals, as he states above, but they nonetheless are very much in the listener’s face. Both Birth of a Nation and The Runaway have stark, callback-to-slavery imagery and toggle between heavy subject matter with tracks like “Preamble,” “Jim Crow,” “Dred Scott” and, of course “Dive In Deep,” and more standard-style bangers like “Danny Bonaduce” feat. O So Amazin and Streetza Ria and “Due Time” feat. Khyre. His flexibility helps get these deeper messages across and has also amassed him an impressive following, with his new ventures amassing nearly a combined 200,000 listens on Spotify.

Since re-entering the limelight in 2021 with his single “Season of the Fall,” 3FIfs has launched into some of the newer styles like heavy bass trap but fans can bet his ties to the golden age haven’t gone away completely. The very next track after “Season of the Fall ” is “Smoke In the Breeze,” a smooth, jazzy melding of Nas-style big beat and Dr. Dre funk. Both tracks are fun, danceable, and, most importantly, contain well-spit verses with zero mumble rap.

Moving to “Big Drip,” it’s clear 3Fifs wanted to pull some throwback booty bass influence from his move to Florida, and hip hop historians will be able to hear the hint of 2 Live Crew in this track, but it’s also extremely modern and incorporates trap and pop sounds. “Big Drip” may sound like it’s just a fun, collar-popping track but 3Fifs says there’s more to it than that.

It’s a very braggadocious song, but as the line says “I spit like I live it:” I was one of the first people to reserve the new Hummer SUV straight off my car business money; my Mom and I lived in a homeless shelter when I was young, but now she has a home on 5 acres, and my Granny definitely was proud of me until her dying day. It’s a feel-good song with a bouncy beat and authentic realism. Hopefully others will relate.

“Season of the Fall,” “Smoke In the Breeze” and “Big Drip” will all feature on 3Fifs’s upcoming The Middle Passage EP, which is due out in 2024. As has always been the case with 3Fifs, fans can expect a healthy mix of deep, thought-provoking concepts, stark imagery and a running history of music in the remaining releases. It seems 3Fifs isn’t nearly finished with his message and music yet, and hip hop can only benefit from his presence.

“Big Drip” is out now on Spotify along with the rest of 3Fifs work. For a more extensive discography, check out his SoundCloud page and for more videos, subscribe on YouTube. - Your EDM

3Fifs showcases a limitless supply of energy while delivering rapid-fire rhymes on the Eugenius laced gem “Big Drip!” Over a bouncy, whimsical arrangement, the St. Louis born, Florida residing rhyme weaver conjures animated wordplay to highlight his stream of consciousness flow. Unlike many “too cool for school” spitters, 3Fifs discards the serious persona of various modern day rappers and replaces it with a heavy dose of comedy.

The artist’s ability to find humor in nearly any situation is apparent in his video for the jubilant sonic spectacle. A kinetic dancer in an animal costume hypes up the proceedings while 3Fifs flosses his charms for everyone to view. The end result is a cinematic feast you didn’t know you needed.

Exploding out of “The Lou” as the city’s next artist to break, buzzing St. Louisan rapper 3Fifs serves up a scorching new single entitled “Big Drip.”

The gifted MTV-featured rhymespitter injects the track with racy and raw bars and the track’s irresistible hook remains unshakable. 3Fifs is infusing his new song with infectious energy and creativity. The skillful and multi-talented Midwest artist has a simple mission: to make undeniable, universal anthems that move the body, soul, and spirit. His highly anticipated hit, “Big Drip,” is already making waves in the music world and follows 3Fifs’ critically acclaimed single, “Smoke In The Breeze.” Fans worldwide can enjoy both songs on Spotify now!

When asked about his single “Big Drip”, 3Fifs explained: “My new single ‘Big Drip’ evolved from a freestyle where I kicked the ‘Appa’ line and everyone in the studio went crazy! I’ve always been a very confident person, but I always recognized that sometimes, your confidence can make others feel insecure about themselves. So, at times, I found myself dimming my light for the comfort of others.”

3Fifs continued, “‘Big Drip’ is a statement piece to remind myself and the listener to always shine your brightest and fly your highest, and to never shade your gift just because someone else isn’t comfortable in their own skin. The ‘Appa’ line is just because I love the classic anime series ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’ and I’m tryna make Yip Yip some new shit for people to say when they’re doing some fly shit.”

3Fifs has been turning heads for the past decade with his impressive blend of entertaining vibes. He is bringing his unique sound and style to the table with a string of vibrant singles that are creating a buzz among a wide variety of audiences. Currently residing in Palm Beach, Florida, the spellbinding rapper is a true Hip-Hop enthusiast at heart. Make no mistake to overlook this new star in the making!

He spits it how he lives it, sips it how he gets it… 3Fifs could have slid on Kanye’s early stuff with ease.

With 2000’s slow and the right mix of grit and adlibs, this guy hits the scene and loves the way he sees people get jealous of his gleaming glamour. He stunts on runt gangsters and fake ass hoes, and loves his money much move than those who can’t be as loyal as his green is. For in his eyes, red off that Crystal lean, he knows how difficult it can be to put together a song as confident in its coherence as this one.

Take a listen for yourself and let us know what you think of Big Drip.

“Big Drip” Background: I’m a big fan of the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and one day I hit a freestyle with the line “…and I’m aiming for the sky like Appa, nigga, ‘Yip Yip!'” When the engineer played the verse back, everybody in the studio was saying that part word-for-word every time it hit, so I knew I had to make that a hook. Next thing you know, I got this beat from my man Eugenius and said, “that’s the one.” It’s a very braggadocious song, but as the line says “I spit like I live it:”

I was one of the first people to reserve the new Hummer SUV straight off my car business money; my Mom and I lived in a homeless shelter when I was young, but now she has a home on 5 acres; and my Granny definitely was proud of me until he dying day. It’s a feel-good song with a bouncy beat and authentic realism. Hopefully others will relate.”

And while he shines here, the comparison I made to College Dropout era Ye shines much brighter on the follow up track, Dive In Deep.

The hook, the alien keys hitting out of nowhere while 3 just goes in over and over, showing us how deep he can dive, into his business, women, and total difference as an artist where copy paste flows are seen as good verses. Lydia Lyon filleting the beat in the background with her voice is worth the listen alone, yet, 3 has an ability to create a classic in real time effect, and he does that here with both of these songs. That work in itself is worth checking out.

Are they the most memorable songs? Who is to judge at a time where the guy is rising in the industry? The pairing only shows an artist giving his all and succeeding at it musically. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here, possibly cooking a new image or concept album could be great considering his references and storytelling ability coincide as excellent for an artist being the only rapper on this song split (no features).

If you love old school hip hop, want to hear someone on the come up, and love boom bap instrumentals with refreshed effects, throw on 3Fifs. Buying the mule, ehhh, I’d wait for the next album. - Emcee Network
