đď¸đŻđŞŚ
From tees, to swim trucks, to bucket hats the Grave Mix site as it all. Itâs really dope to see all this dope merch being made so we can rep the Grave Mix at all times.
Grave đď¸đŻđ
One of my favorite items added to the store is the black tee with the green Grave Mix logo. This is a standard tee to rock when you wanna rep the mix. Canât wait to rock this one on a podcast. Fingers crossed on a grey tee with a purple logo next drop.
Reap shit
With summer upon us these black swim truck with that green Grave Mix logo will be essentials. Shit even if youâre not hitting the beach or the pool these have a daily rockability to them when you just want to cool down. Plus with the matching tee, you cant miss.
Too Cozy
The white and green slippers are too cozy. These joints are made to just kick back and relax. Definitely see a pair of these in my future.
The bucket hat is a Deezy staple. What better way to rep the mix than the all over print bucket hat.
Add a little something extra to your phone with the all over Grave Mix print phone case. Protect your phone and rep the mix all at the same time.
Rep the mix
Deezy been putting people on to the rally towels man. Itâs hot out here in sunny Tampa Bay. What better way to cool off than a Grave Mix towel. It also makes a dope statement piece to go with the bucket hat.
With items ranging at all price points, picking up at least one piece from the drop should be a no brainer for supporters of Deezy and the Grave Mix. In the future I would love to see that grey and purple tee, as well as a dad hat option for the Grave Mix hats. Grave Mix shorts and slides would be a dope touch as well. The Grave Mix is a crucial piece of what makes the Tampa Bay Hip Hop community what it is so show them some love.
Ushering in the âPrism Mediaâ era, 9henom delivers his first solo masterpiece â Sex, Lies, & Videotapeâ, a film inspired project filled with honesty and introspection.
đď¸đŻđ
Following the transition from âPlaygroundâ to âPrism Mediaâ I was interested to see what route 9henom would approach following up his 2022 effort âPlaytime!â a nod to the former company, as well as Jacques Tatiâs French comedy classic. Once the title dropped paying homage to Steven Soderberghâs 1989 debut classic â Sex, Lies, & Videotapeâ, I knew I was in for a treat. Each track on the album has a title referencing a few of my favorite films as well, so I already dug the direction 9henom was going.
The project starts out with âRushmoreâ featuring Aja Iman & Kay Dank. Giving a nod to Wes Andersonâs classic âRushmoreâ the intro track sets the stage for the album, setting up like one of Max Fischerâs plays from the movie. The soft piano has a nice vibe, elevating 9henomâs sped up flow. The part when 9henom gets quiet was a nice touch on the song. Great tone setter.
âPrisonersâ a nod to the Denis Villeneuve film if of the same name, takes us back to 9henomâs child hood days locked in his own mental prison. The vocals on this track are so on point adding to the emotion. This is probably 9henomâs most introspective track to date and I really respect him for going all out on this one. Mad bars on this one especially the cartridge line. Real melancholy track but it really hits your soul.
âSilver Linings Playbookâ sharing the name with the David O. Russell film, puts 9henom in a more warped slowed down realm. This joint has a more laid back stoned out vibe. OK Tav and the homie Stoney Hoop came through and did their thing on this one. The production on this one is wild.
âRequiem For A Dreamâ might be my new favorite 9henom track. The vibe is all there for me. Really dope flow and bars on top of a chilled out beat. The video teaser for this one is also very dope. Not as dark as the Aronofsky film itâs based on but itâs a bop for sure. All bars no hook.
âDirty Dancingâ is on that soulful boom bap shit. You already know when the homie BTMVLE Jotta gets on a track itâs going to be a bar fest. Canât wait to hear whatâs cooking from these to in the future, they brought up the anticipation with this one. 9henom hits us with that sped up flow once again over that lush production. Jotta takes us to church with qutoables for days. That award shows line was picture perfect. And yes you already know shout out to them Bucs baby. Jotta is for sure in contention with verse of the year for this track.
âBirdmanâ takes us back on a darker note, with a more menacing beat than anything else on this project. The background drums remind me of the score of the Iùårritu film of the same name. Short but sweet, I dig the change of pace this song provided at this point in the album.
âEx Machinaâ featuring JC Tha God is a certified banger. The Alex Garland film is one of my all time favorites so when I saw the title I got hype, and with JC on it you already knew it was going to be a bar fest. The voice switches by 9henom was a nice touch on the hook. 9henomâs flow on the second verse is impeccable, he went crazy. JC did his thing for sure proving why he is the âHidden Gemâ of Tampa Bay Hip Hop. That tic tac toe line was nuts. That water line was even crazier, on top of the craziest flows I have heard from JC to date on the beat switches. Another verse of the year contender.
âYojimboâ the first single released off the project instantly caught my eye with the nod to Akira Kurosawaâs classic samurai filk âYojimboâ. The beginning notes from 9henom set the tone for one of my favorite songs of the year. The somber beat is the perfect soundscape for 9henom to free his mind. Donât ever stop bro.
The project closes out on a happier note with uplifting piano rift on âAmerican Hustleâ, another nod to David O. Russell. The video for this one set a nice tone as well, with 9henom roaming around the city. The different vocal transitions on this track are what make it stand out, thatâs not to say itâs not an onslaught of bars, but a perfect blending of the two. Amazing way to end out the project, and watch the credits roll.
The growth is crazy on this project. All the different styles and sounds 9henom has been working on with his past projects all marinated so well together on this one. The singing and vocal transitions complemented the sick flows and bars that are sprinkled throughout the whole project. Not to mention the film references, that I havenât heard tackled so well in a project since West Coast Emcee Bluâs masterpiece âHer Favorite Colorâ. I appreciate the honesty and heart 9henom put into this project, and thatâs why it will be no surprise when it appears on my end of the year list.
I wish I made it out to the show âRose Colored Lenses, And How They May Fallâ show to get the full experience but maybe we will get some footage dropped or better yet an encore of the show for audiences in the 727. Big shout out to the homie 9henom, canât wait to see whatâs next with Prism Media, the growth is unreal.

The cult favorite artist and producer tag team of Knux & BTMVLE Jotta are at your doorstep with a brand new single âMedicine Manâ featuring a 70s horror film esque beat and bars that could kill.
đď¸đŻđđWitch Doctor
No strangers to each other the team of Knux and Jotta are building on the sound they ushered in on their last track âFigure 8â, merging dirty south flavor and values with 90s Boom Bap sampling and sensibilities.
The Medicine Man
On this new track âMedicine Manâ KNUX provides a dreamy yet haunting soundscape for the âMedicine Manâ himself BTMVLE Jotta to deliver his prescriptions in more ways than one.
Once that initial trailer dropped with the technicolor 70s vibe they had me with this one, being a big fan of film I caught the references instantly. Jotta for sure is a contender for top lyricist on both sides of the bay, with this track being one of his many stakes at that crown. With lines like âWhen Hellfire rain down we need bullet proof umbrellasâ his words are undeniable.
Whether itâs with his words or the herbs BTMVLE Jotta is the âMedicine Manâ, healing all that care to listen and striking fear in those who donât. I dig the artist producer bag Jotta is in right now working with Knux, Bauxmonk, and 9henom respectively. Hopefully down the road we can get collab projects with Jot and all of these producers down the road but time will tell. For now we can all bask in the beats and bars until the âMedicine Manâ returns with our next refill.
