Cool Nutz Drops The Fire New Album "Pig Ears And Chitlins" | @CoolNutz

Cool Nutz drops his latest album “Pig Ears & Chitlins” which is derived from the historical Soul Food items that have become synonymous as genuine staples in African-American culture. As a dedication to Northeast Portland, Cool Nutz pays homage to the genuine, organic, and authentic environment and community he was raised in.

“Pig Ears & Chitlins” have always signified a feeling of home, community, and more within the African American community. Whether you chose to indulge or not, the meaning was deep-rooted and truly one of authentic family.

“Pig Ears & Chitlins” finds Cool Nutz touching on subjects of race relations, fatherhood, friendship, rapper hate, culture, and more. The album features appearances from Illmaculate on the bar-heavy “Safe”, Portland standouts Mic Crenshaw and Mic Capes on the culturally charged “Black”, and April Cason on the lead single/dedication to Northeast Portland “NEP”

Production duties on “Pig Ears & Chitlins” is handled by Trox, Cee Goods, Lawz Spoken, and Deezo Woods. The album brings another welcomed addition to the illustrious catalog of one of Portland’s most heralded musicians. Look for more visuals, singles, and quality content to come from “Pig Ears & Chitlins”.

Stream The New Project "Gung Fu" From Tigermoth (@Tigermothbeats)

“Gung Fu” sees Tigermoth combining his love of Hip Hop, and Eastern Philosophies, together with the martial arts film and television of his childhood. Utilising traditional eastern samples, the 60s, and 70s Bollywood soundtracks, along with zen themed vocal narratives, Gung Fu could best be described as RZA meets Tarantino somewhere in a Shaolin Temple. It is the soundtrack of an as yet realized film or the musical version of a graphic novel. Over the course of the album, Tigermoth evokes his Tiger spirit, one of the 5 animal styles of kung fu, and explores ideas of good and evil, turmoil and peace. Themes eternally relevant, and ever-present, particularly in today’s world of conflict and polarities.

Jamel Deon - The Breather (Audio) @Jamel_Deon

“The Breather” is a single by rapper Jamel Deon. On the Moshuun-produced track, Jamel Deon goes on a lyrical rampage as he unleashes his grit with every bar on the record. He showcases a glimpse of how Las Vegas rappers get down with the bars. He touches on various subjects such as bouncing back from bad situations, cutting toxic people out of his life, keeping a hustler’s mentality, and staying consistent. Jamel Deon strives to get people to turn up and let loose on this song as he flows effortlessly and passionately on this instrumental. Aside from soundcloud, the song is available to purchase and stream on all platforms.




Jamel Deon Williams, better known as Jamel Deon or The Pen Prodigy is a rapper and spoken word artist from Las Vegas, NV. He is also a member of Las Vegas hip hop duo, Kinfolk Kollab. Although always having a passion for music since the age of 4, Jamel Deon didn't start taking rap seriously until the age of 14.

He would proceed to release his debut mixtape The Pen Prodigy: The Missing Pages in 2014. In the following years, he would go on to release The Pen Prodigy 2: Writings On The Wall, No Hook, and Kinfolk Kollab: The Mixtape. During his senior year of high school, Jamel Deon made his debut with his first single, “Scared”, a remix to Drake's “Fear”, in 2014.

He graduated from Legacy High School and would soon relocate to Phoenix, Arizona to attend Grand Canyon University. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Entrepreneurship in 2017. During high school and college, he would alternate spending time in Las Vegas and Phoenix. When not in the classroom, he used those times as opportunities to write and record music, work part-time jobs, and perform at both school events and local events.

 Jamel Deon would describe his style as “nostalgic and lyrical with a storytelling flow and delivery.” He strives to have his music center around the growing pains, triumph, and typical life experiences many people come up against in life (whether good, bad, or fun), including himself. He cites Nas, Lloyd Banks, Jeezy, Scarface, and Jay Z as some of his musical influences. With four projects under his belt, Jamel Deon is nothing short of determined to make a name for himself and make his mark in hip hop.
