DaVinci - Real Niggaz Ft. Kaz Kyzah & R.O.D. (Remix) [Prod. Kris Styles]
Bay Area stand up! SF to OAK to TWDY.
As DaVinci continues to prepare for the March 9th release of his official debut album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, the rising Fillmore talent is dropping another pre-album song,"Real Niggaz." Featuring a guest verse Kaz Kyzah, formerly one half of the duo The Team along with Clyde Carson, as well as production from up-and-coming Gary, Indiana beatsmith Kris Styles and singer ROD.
As DaVinci raps, "Hate is power, love is a weakness / You do wrong the right way, they call you a genius," the rising Bay Area emcee's powerful message resonates loud and clear – what's valued in the streets seems to be exactly what is valued in politics too. This is the trickle down effect that grips the government and the community.

It's On Me - DaVinci (Prod. by Blunt)
Hip-hop the way we like it...from the original Thorobred, one of San Francisco's finest, DaVinci.
Track is produced by Blunt, who you might remember from Freeway's Month Of Madness project.
"I coulda made a ring tone record, but fuck it you need to hear this."

DaVinci (aka J. DaVinci) will be dropping his debut studio album The Day The Turf Stood Still on 03/09/10 at www.swtbrds.com/davinci.
Catch DaVinci live on SWTBRDS TV tonight @ 7:30PM PST, and stay on the lookout for music leaks, video content, interviews, etc.
