Fire Pick of the Week
July 7, 2025
I’m GrandMixer GMS, with more music to start your week off right!
Rap Attack always lets you know what is hot on the rap and underground scene.
This week,
YG’s “Hollywood” Delivers Swagger, Shade, and Summer Vibes!
YG’s “Hollywood,” featuring the raw energy of Shoreline Mafia and outstanding production by longtime collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, is a West Coast anthem that pulses with unapologetic swagger and sly lyrical jabs, making it a standout for any summer playlist. Spun on my syndicated mixshow, Global Frequency, and at live events, the track consistently moves the crowd. Whether booming through club speakers or cruising in your car, “Hollywood” is a versatile banger that demands movement and exudes Los Angeles grit.
The track’s production, a masterclass in West Coast sound, blends thumping bass, crisp snares and shimmering synths into a groove that’s both polished and street-ready. Shoreline Mafia’s contributions amplify its edge, with their signature flows adding a layer of raw, coastal flair that complements YG’s commanding presence. Their verses, brimming with charisma, elevate the track’s vibe, making it a seamless fit for both radio airwaves and late-night club sets. YG’s delivery, sharp and confident, weaves in apparent disses—subtle yet pointed shots that have sparked a buzz among fans, where they speculate about targets at apparently Joey Bada$$ and Diddy, in lines that cut with precision. These lyrical barbs add a layer of intrigue, inviting listeners to dissect the shade while keeping the party going.
Far from a one-dimensional club track, “Hollywood” thrives in diverse settings, from sun-drenched car shows to high-energy dance floors. Its universal appeal lies in its ability to balance authenticity with accessibility, channeling LA’s street culture while inviting everyone to vibe. For DJs and music lovers curating a summer soundtrack, “Hollywood”—with YG’s lyrical prowess and Shoreline Mafia’s gritty assist—is an essential, mood-lifting must-have that delivers every time.

Special Concert Review
by DJ 3rd Degree
June 23, 2025
Peace up everyone.
I wanted to jump back on here because I just saw the Wu Tang Clan/Run the Jewels show and I wanted to share it with you!
If you have never seen either group and you are a true hip hop fan, you must do whatever you can to go see them both. I have been blessed to see RTJ (Run the Jewels) and the Wu three times now. Each time, they get better. Just like a fine wine ages well, so do these guys doing real rap music.
The show was more than I expected. RTJ, if you are not aware, is a duo comprised of Killer Mike (Dungeon Family crew) and El-P (Company Flow). They have been together now for 13+ years, creating, in my opinion, superior rap music. Both outstanding emcees with cheeky lyrics, the beats El-P creates for them to flow over are exceptional. They carry the energy off their records to the state. Each song resonates power, and the audience soaks it up like a sponge. The duo opened with “Legend Has It,” a dope song off their 3rd album. They kicked that right into “Run the Jewels” off album #4 and then jumped into one of my favorite jams from album #2, “Blockbuster Night 1”. One after the other, song after song, the energy from the duo on stage and the audience below was as high as it could be. The smoke in the air may have helped too! The most popular song they did during their set was the Greg Nice accompanied joint “Ooh La La” from RTJ 4. The performance from Mike and El-P was about 45-minutes long and it wasn’t enough—the crowd and I wanted more!
But the evening was just getting going as next up—the one, the only Wu Tang Clan. I have been blessed in my life to see a lot of concerts, easily over 100. From festivals to big and small shows, from the 80s till now, music concerts have been my jam. So I was really feeling blessed at the opportunity when Mychael, the communications director at PHX arena, allowed me to come review the show.
The crew were backed up by not only their DJ but also a live band. That always gives the music a little extra with the band on stage plus the emcees. I believe this show, both sonically and visually, was curated by RZA. To me, he is a genius on multiple musical levels. There was a massive video screen, angled down towards the audience, that started showing the Wu logo, a digital killer bee, and lots of kung-fu visuals. This created a really dope intro as RZA was the first to hit the stage. One by one the crew emerged as follows: Ghostface, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, GZA, U-God, ODB Jr (who does an amazing job as his dad), Masta Killah, Method Man and Cappadonna. Their show was broken down into multiple sets, allowing the members to not only do Wu songs, but to also do some of their classic solo album joints.
From the moment RZA hit the stage, the entire arena was on their feet and stayed that way for most of the show. Heads nodding, the audience singing every word, the energy was off the chain. The first set consisted of classic debut album joints and opened with “Bring the Ruckus”. Next was “Clan in da Front,” “Da Mystery of Chessboxin,” “Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin to F With,” “Method Man,” “Shame on a N***a,” and then “Protect Your Neck.” In between sets one and two, RZA treated everyone to a sneak preview of his upcoming movie titled “One Spoon of Chocolate,” which is going to be available on RZA’s 36 cinema platform. The flick looks dope.
The break was short, and the second set began with the two female vocalists from the band doing a cover of “The Way We Were” by Gladys Knight and the Pips, leading directly into “Can It Be All So Simple,” generating loud cheers from the crowd. Then it was time for some solo album joints as Rae and Ghost took to the stage to rock “Rainy Dayz.” Cappadonna came out to do his joint “97 Mentality,” followed by Rae’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” and “Ice Cream.” The crowd was in high energy throughout. Then Method Man joined them on stage to do “Bring the Pain” and his Mary J Blige collab “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need”. And things were just getting going.
When set 3 started, it was the GZA’s turn to shine, doing his classics “Liquid Swords,” “Duel of the Iron Mic” and “4th Chamber.” Masta Killah rocked “No Said Date” which is off his 2004 debut album. The crew then ran off “Gravel Pit” and Cappadonna’s joint “Run” which is from his 1998 album “The Pillage.”
Set 4 was the finale with a chance for ODB’s memory to be hailed. His son rocked two classics, “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” and “Got Your Money.” They finished the show with “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Triumph.”
For me, this was the best Wu show I have ever seen. The energy from the crew and the audience made this one of the top 10 shows of all-time for me.

Last week I was back home in the “206” Seattle. The magic happened on both Thursday (15th) & Friday (16th) nights.
On Thursday we were at Rainier Avenue Radio’s Black History Month Museum at 4916 Rainier Ave South. Sheila Locke, Sir Mix-A-Lot & I reunited for the first time since NASTYMIX Records closed in 1992. We shared behind-the-scenes look at the birth, creation & fall of NASTYMIX Records!
Friday found us at the 206 Zulu’s 20th Anniversary event at Madame Lou’s (2505 1st Avenue).
Both nights were memorable!
Rest In Peace, brother Nes.
