Sonny Cheeba featured on new Charles Herron LP

By Silky Slim on July 17, 2017 in Music

Cheeba and Suede have always lent their voices to support upcoming artists. The long awaited solo debut from Bronx born MC Charles Herron is no different. Camp Lo’s support of Charles Herron started when Cheeba and him met and continued with collaborations  on multiple projects including The Charles Herron produced “Bill Cosby” that appeared as part of the 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s, Tiffany Blue Tuesdays Campaign with the Smoking Section/Uproxx. They would collaborate again on “Hotsauce” Tha Nighthawks (Charles Herron’s Group with Vinnie Knuckles), and now again on Charles Herron’s debut Solo LP  as Sonny Cheeba lends a verse to “Let’s Roll” w Dee Richards. Charles Herron’s debut LP Herron’s Melody is  15 tracks of  b-boy soul produced by Charlotte legends Fever and The Mighty D.R.

The album is available now on SE6 Records. Listen to Let’s Roll on soundcloud or on you favorite digital music platform.

Video: “Piece Of The Action / World Heist”

By Silky Slim on November 18, 2016 in Music

Camp Lo‘s seminal album, Uptown Saturday Night, just hit the 20-year milestone. To celebrate, Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede have rolled through with new visuals for “Piece of the Action/World Heist.” Produced by Ski Beatz, the track puts their iconic voices on full display and goes into an entirely different beat midway through the four-minute offering (the “World Heist” part of the song). This is a little taste of what’s to come from Camp Lo. The dynamic duo is getting ready to release a new album, On The Way Uptown, which presumably continues the story they began in 1996.

Thanks as always to hiphopdx.com for the write-up and push.

J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League – Money Dance II Feat. Rick Ross, Mack Wilds & Camp Lo

By Silky Slim on April 1, 2016 in Music

J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League decided to interpolate the classic “Luchini” track into their new record “Money Dance II” feat. Rick Ross & Mack Wilds, a sequel/redux to Ross’ Black Dollar single “Money Dance” f/ The-Dream.  To take a level further, however, they brought in Sonny CHeeba and Geechi Suede to add new verses to the track as well. Good move.

“We just wanted to continue to raise the bar following the first one,” said J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s Rook. “We had nothing on the schedule, so I just came up with some chords, had Zach Wilson write a hook, and then we discussed who should sing it and we realized Mack Wilds was the perfect choice.”

Pete Rock and Camp Lo Celebrate ‘Megan Good’ With Mac Miller – Song Premiere

By Silky Slim on July 11, 2013 in Music

On July 30th, pioneering hip-hop producer/DJ Pete Rock and seminal Bronx duo Camp Lo will release their second collaborative effort, 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s Pt. II, the follow-up to their 2011 mixtape of the same name. The tape will feature a handful of guests, including Talib Kweli, Ab-Soul and Uncle Murda.

Now you can take an exclusive first listen to their Mac Miller-featuring cut “Megan Good.” Over a simple bass groove, click-clack drums and scattered vocal cues from Rock (who has some experimental fun during the track’s last two minutes or so), Camp Lo’s Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede spin boast-tacular yarns while Miller lets his salacious, lackadaisical rhymes flow.
