Hi$ive – Askin For It @Hi5ive_Soul

Houston rapper Hi$ive teamed up with director Dante Castro to bring us visuals for “Askin For It” to bring in the new year. His beat selection from MisterMammoth was the perfect counterpart for his slick wordplay as the chorus states:
“N*ggas askin’ for the knowledge; n*gga no cost. Put the flavor in your sauce; nigga get lost. Hoes tryna jump around like Kris Kross.”
Born and raised in the neighborhood known as 5th Ward in Houston, Texas, Hi$ive grew up in a city that thrives of off not only oil and gas but hip hop as well. With over 5 years experience in the game, Hi$ive likes to stack his songs with wordplay similar to one of his influences and hometown hero, Scarface. Other musical influences he credits are Paul Wall, Biggie, Jay-Z, 2pac, Mase, Outkast, Schoolboy Q, Nipsey Hussle, Curren$y and A$AP Rocky.
Hi$ive also credits his mother as his biggest influence in his music and career. He says “Let It Ride” featuring George Young is his most memorable track because his mother threw him a birthday party for the video shoot. After her passing in early 2017, he decided to dedicate his grind and hard work to her. With his music he hopes to enable his family and friends to pursue their dreams and eventually help others in his community better their lives and have access to a better education.

MikeDaGreatt & E. Smitty are taking Hip-Hop to the “Blockchain” @MIKEDAGREATT @THEREALESMITTY

For most of us who have little knowledge about “Blockchain” we refer to it as “Crypto” or meme token phenomenon celebrating Shiba Doggie Emojis and promising investors huge returns for taking a chance with their hard earned money “investments”. Those of us who are informed are far too familiar with the latest “Crypto” Scams and Ponzi Schemes such as the FTX meltdown, Do Kwan & Lunar and the ongoing SEC x Ripple Lawsuit which has brought a once thriving market to it’s knees.
MikeDaGreatt & Super Producer/Record Mogul “E. Smitty” are doing something a little different. The Harlem raised native & the CEO of Sound Alive Records are creating new ways for Artists to add revenue streams by minting “NFT’s” that live on the “Blockchain” in addition to traditional forms of music distribution. An “NFT” or Non Fungible Token can have the value of a “T-Shirt” or merchandise or it can be soo much more. Proof of ownership, Exclusive Rights & a new digital way to represent a physical or digital Asset.
MikeDaGreatt recently dropped “Sleep On It” with Production by E. Smitty & along with Distributing through Sound Alive Records, Mike & Smitty have decided to mint NFT’s on 2 different Blockchains $XRPL & $BSV. For starters they will be minting limited edition NFT’s which will create an immediate new way for the two to get paid for their intellectual property without having to pay the middleman. Blockchains are infinite and any number of NFT’s can be minted. The most amazing part is as a blockchain token such as $XRP or $BSV gains value, so does the NFT’s that are created on their respective blockchains, giving artists ways to grow and increase the value of their art and contribution to the culture. Checkout “Sleep On It” by MikeDaGreat (Prod. By E. Smitty) now on @youtube and be on the lookout for NFT’s coming this month.
