Rekta ‎– Boyz N The Hood (June 22, 2018)

After coming with his solo album “Hustle Life” only a year ago, now Rekta is back with another dope release, this time it’s “Boyz N The Hood” Mixtape, which sound more like a proper album, however, since, in addition to some original tracks, it has a lot of remixes on his previously made tracks a DJ intro, the artist decided to call it Mixtape. However, as our opinion, it does sound like an album and not just an average one but the real solid release that he dropped for his fans worldwide. This is the extremely dope release from start to finish, not having a single track which you could feel you might wanna skip.

Being a native of Saint Quentin commune in France, he decided to record a compilation with the French artists who came from the same area in France: Saint Quentin Chroniques. It turned out to be a dope 15-song compilation album solely produced by Sovan.

LIL’GEE ‎– L.A.mentaires Tracks (15th Jan 2018)

After a good ending of the year 2017 (Scrooge – Ghetto Gospel), we got here a real dope start of the New Year with the CD release of “L.A.mentaires Tracks” by Lil’Gee, an independent rapper from Rouen city, located in Normandie/France. He started rapping in 1996 with his cousin Don Kroozz, and in 1998 there were joined by Mou2s. In 2000, he decided to leave the band and began his solo career. “L.A.mentaires Tracks” album is basically a compilation of songs made between 2001 and 2017 with some of the songs recorded live. Lil’Gee himself played many instruments on this album (keyboard, bass, etc.) except for the guitars, which were played by Xtophe «Artech Xtudio» and Pierre Loiseau.

Being inspired by G-Funk Classics with influences of Californian rock, it turns out to be an extremely dope & laidback g-funk album with a lot of live instruments played on it.

Highly recommended by G-Funk.WS

U can order a CD hardcopy from Jean Baptiste Elie aka Lil’Gee by writing him a PM on Facebook

Joh Joh Music ‎– Good Times Album (2017)

Joh Joh Music is a G-Funk poducer/beatmaker from Strasbourg, France and frankly speaking we didn’t really hear much about him until recently when he hit us with the news about his “Good Times Album” release on September 2nd, 2017. This album is the perfect combination of dope g-funk tracks with some tight guest appearances such as OG Daddy V, Big2DaBoy, Sylk-E Fyne, Rekta, Mofak, Quictamac, Big Prodeje, Loesta, Havikk, WestCoast Stone, Von Jackson, Pimp Counsel, Hic Box, Mr. Enois Scroggins & others.

It’s a real dope G-Funk album, one of the best since quite a while, so we highly recommend you to cop it while its limited stock lasts!

Driver ‎– Maintenant Je Suis Chaud (2017)

Driver, a French rapper from Sarcelles city, has been in the rap game since quite a long time with a quite a few releases behind his back. This years he’s back with his new EP “Now I’m Hot” (if translated from French) that was released in CD format on his own “Allmade” record label, and it’s the perfect result of the collaborative effort of Driver and Crapulax (the French producer): all the tracks were written, produced and recorded within a week as they both hit the studio and “cooked” all the bangers together.

Apparently it’s one the hottest CD’s out of France this year so far and is very solid work by both the rapper & producer. We strongly recommend to peep it & order a hardcopy @ Addictive Music Online Shop. They are the official distributor of this CD, ship worldwide and their prices/shipping are pretty moderate.
