{VIDEO} EA-Ski Feat Locksmith "I.M.G.M.I."

[RealRich]

This is why the Frontline (Locksmith and Left) are the truth. They made a shit load of radio and club bangers and still can do it like this. Locksmith's solo album is going to be Ill as fuck. He has the ability to do it whatever way it needs to be done. EA-Ski is a legend period point blank. He is (to my knowledge) the only Bay cat to fuck with Dre. I hope that for 2009 Locksmith (solo) LEFT, EA-Ski and a Frontline as a group drops. I was listening to their last album in my iPod today after hearing that verse and that shit was pure fire. They have what it takes to not only make it on commercial radio and T.V. they also can do it on a mixtape level. Their whole camp always comes with real respectable, quality product. Locksmith great fucking job...Maybe this year (since hyphy is dead) the Frontline will be able to be seen as the beast that they are and Locksmith's solo would be a great start.

Is there any release dates jumpin off?

track is hot as fuck.
New Frontline, Locksmith or EA-Ski album on the way?

 

[MIIthasav]

I want to see the New Bay come back in 2009

The have dropped 3 albums in the last five years...well 2 and a half cuz they re-released "who r u" as "Now U Know" but I know what u mean, they dont drop a ton of shit. They just focus on making one album every few years.

I personally would rather hear REAL albums over mixtape verses ANY DAY. Real albums show that an artist is willing to cuff his nuts and put out a true representation of them and not their spin on already hot songs or classic hits. No diss to the mixtape artist, because I dig some of the mixtapes, but it's something special about someone standing up and saying THIS IS A REAL ALBUM. NOT A "STREET ALBUM" or a "MIXTAPE" with all original tracks...a real album that counts on your record. There is something respectable about being willing to be judged and not hide behind "this ain't my real album...this is a street album" or "this ain't a single, this is a street warmer". They put it out there and get judged...and with the amount of success they have had acclaim wise- it's respectable.

[YouKnowTheTruth]

To be totally honest this display of skills doesn't shock me at all. The Frontline always makes hot music and videos. They have had nothing but quality product for the people to support. That is the way you build a career and a real fan base.

Agreed...This is one of the things that makes The Frontline special. They make albums and force you to live with it for a while if you want to hear their music. I was just driving back from LA last week and their section came up in my ipod and we listened to their whole catalog and wondered, why in the hell haven't these artist taken a prominent spot in the industry on a National landscape? I think they were unfortunate to have hit the scene smack dab in the middle of the Hyphy period of Bay music. Although respect is given to them for not folding and buying into the Hyphy moment...the Hyphy moment somewhat muffled their exposure, but with the Bay clear of the gimmick laden period in their music history--real talent might shine through.
