Happy Birthday AHMAD!!!

October 10th 2019 is Ahmad "Back in the Day" Lewis's 44th birthday.  So because he is one of the dopest emcees to ever do it, I don't want the day to pass by without a shout out.  So celebrate MODsday with some music and such...

start the day off Right w/ Jurny Big

I'm an underground rap nerd. A card-carrying, conspiracy- theory- generating backpacker. As such, I like lots of rappers you never heard of. There's a better than average chance that you never heard of Jurny Big, but I've been a fan of the brash battle rapper from West Covina, California for over a decade. Here's a few recent cuts via the magic of bandcamp...

Ahmad Interview and Performance

Peep that dude Ahmad performing A Nig Can't Tell Me Nun't off his splendid don't call it a comeback solo album The Death of Me plus doing an interview with the fine folks at Breakbeats and Rhymes Radio

Album of the Year? um... maybe!

I've had my head down the last few days, working nonstop laying out the new GhettoManga Quarterly, so the 10th came and went without me checking for Ahmad's new record. Rappers push back their record releases so much, I never get out of my routine to get new records anymore... Anyways, The Death of Me is out, and not for nothin'... but uh... it's dope. I mean REALLY DOPE! Don't believe me? I got it streaming after the jump. Go ahead and cop a listen. I dare you...

that New AHMAD

This is why i f*cks wit Ahmad! put your hand behind your ear and listen to Nig Can't Tell Me Nunt and keep your nose open for son's new record...

Ahmad + Crooked I = JEAUH!!!!

That dude Ahmad is in the lab working on one of the records I've been patiently waiting for, his new joint The Death of Me. Need proof positive that this joint's gonna be pure FIRE? I submit to you, exhibit a: Get Some Money & Go to Jail featuring your man Crooked I from Slaughterhouse...

Start the Day off RIGHT------->

Give It Here by Aceyalone f/ Ahmad.
I never heard this joint before, but I was searching for more Ahmad cuts, and this video by that dude Aceyalone really intrigued me, so I figured it'd be a good way to get your day rollin'. Ace is another under-appreciated emcee cats need to check for. i might need to dedicate some time to diggin' in his catalog...
anyways, hope y'all have a good one!
peace

Start The Day off RIGHT-------->

this is one of my favorite clips from The World Famous Wake Up Show (and for me, that's sayin' a lot). On this clip, that dude Ahmad tears the roof off, then is followed by Juice, who also brings it. Ahmad got a new solo record in the pipe (i posted his new video mixtape joint last night) called The Death of Me on his label We C.L.A.P., so I'm gonna be diggin' up more heat from this under-appreciated emcee all week. hopefully the blogosphere can get the buzz up so he will drop that joint sooner, rather than later, 'cause i'm betting it will be bananas! anyways, lest ye doubt the skills, peep that video!
stay tuned...

Pound for Pound, a better Emcee I don't Know One...

that dude Ahmad is gettin' his video mixtape on with this joint. If all you know about Ahmad is his biggest radio hit Back In The Day, you're gonna be surprised by his flow, which is NOT to be slept on... and dude shows his rhymin' skills and vocal range on this joint for real! anyways, Ahmad is currently raisin' the buzz for his highly-anticipated solo record The Death of Me, and i'll keep y'all posted on whatever i know 'bout its upcoming release! until then, peep this yahoo article for more info about Ahmad's new label We C.L.A.P. and what he's been up to...
holla!

Back In The Day by Ahmad

Cypher Time...

it's Thursday a.k.a. hip hop appreciation day at ghettoManga. somebody told me they weren't able to download the music i was posting on This Weeks Cut... until i figure out what the pro'lem is, i'll just drop these YouTube joints. this week, it's Ahmad of 4th Avenue Jones and Chicago freestyle juggernaut JUICE.

if you are able to download the Cut (on the toolbar on the right), lemme know, so i can see what's up. anyways, support real hipHop...

shalom.

samax.

the More the Merrier

More by Mars Ill f/Ahmad
i've been a fan of mars ILL for so long, it doesn't even seem right that all my people aren't gonzo for them... this joint is from the latest record, Pro Pain... this track is especially fresh 'cause that dude Ahmad (yeah, THAT Ahmad) comes in with a little of that Wes' Coast to make the cypher complete.
holla!
