It's Friday, so let's take a flight to New York City to check in on some new music from former Milwaukeeans Adebisi and SigNif, who have recently released some tunes.
It seems that the release of Adebisi's The Mad Bloggers-backed mixtape "The Blaxploitation II" is right around the corner as they've released the latest and last single from the project, a track called "Better than Y'all," which is produced by 2011 Miltown Beat Down champion Reason and features Najee.
SigNif, who is readying her next project, "Embracing Rejection," for release, has dropped a Sauce Fonda-produced joint called "Nice To Know." Somebody needs to sign Nif. She's dope.
The Mad Bloggers are also one of the factions behind her forthcoming release, and no, they aren't from Wisconsin nor have they ever been here. They're East Coast dudes. Is that enough to get you to stop sleeping on SigNif?
