Virtuoso brings violent pen play in his collaboration with production team Snowgoons to deliver one of the most menacing approaches of Hip Hop sound in existence. The powerful and defining "Snow Blind" presents the image of an MC as a lethal weapon as Virtuoso weaves deadly images and words with great skill. Take a trip to the darkside as Big Virt presents murder raps to melt your thermostat against the banging sounds of the Snowgoons on "Snow Blind " and throughout the 2013 album "CoVirt Ops: Infantry".
Natural Born Spitters feat Outerspace (AOTP) take it back to an undeniably rugged sound of New York Hip Hop on "Our Time". With dark and drum heavy sounds produced by Blastah Beatz, this song feels like a throwback to a threatening approach of Hip Hop you might have felt in a group like a Wu Tang in the late 90's who made you envision the streets through music. As you absorb the snippets for the rest of "The Dispensary" you can expect more of the same feel of Hip Hop: straight spitting in a show-off street corner cypher style over bangers from some of the underground's best providers of raw sound such as Snowgoons, Vanderslice & Stu Bangas, Blastah Beatz.
I've always belived that they key to longevity for legendary veteran artists is collaborating with other up and coming innovators of music. I am confident that the next-level production of The Snowgoons will play a great part in the next chapter of the M.O.P. saga as a reinvention of Billy and Fame's dangerous street sound.
Listen to an interview Billy Danze did with Conspiracy Worldwide Radio where he speaks on the details of an entire M.O.P. album with The Snowgoons.

Glad to see a video for this song, it is well deserved as Virtuoso brings great visual depth in his writing as a talent who is here to bring us new ideas in conceptual Hip Hop songs.
From Big Bang Records:
"Big Bang Records presents the long awaited video for the fan favorite track "Statue" off of Snowgoons latest album Kraftwerk (Goon MuSick). "Statue" is a monstrous collaboration that links musical mastermind Sicknature from Denmark and Boston lyrical legend Virtuoso. Virtuoso tears this track into tiny pieces with his trademark verbal acrobatics over a rock solid boom-bap backdrop. This track is one of the best selling songs in Snowgoons and Virtuoso's respective careers and has been setting fire to speakers across the globe. The video was directed and edited by Marsay Seymour (20/20 Vizin) and Virtuoso himself. This is just a taste of the fire to come as Big Virt and Snowgoons are in the process of making an entire album together to be released in early 2012."
This is a deep, heartfelt take on a song concept that has been expressed times before, showing that the Snowgoons collective have more to offer your mind and soul than the average group. On "Music" feat. Vibez the Snowgoons, Savage Brothers & Lord Lhus express their un-biased views about the current climate of Hip Hop over a haunting 3/4 time production. Pay attention to he slideshow on this video, they made a point to show the difference between classic Hip Hop and what they feel is fake, disposable Hip-Pop.
Snowgoons "The Iron Fist" album drops on april 5th!
Virtuoso brings a hard edged sound of Hip Hop I've missed in recent years, I haven't heard such a strong combination of lyrical skill, threatening voice and visual wordplay coming from a dark mind frame since the late, great Big Pun! Sit back and listen to microphone beast Virtuoso who is offering his latest work "The Final Conflict" using the streaming audio capabilities of soundcloud. He is assisted by the cinematic sounds of Blue Sky Black Death, Musicologo, Sicknature (of Snowgoons), Khrome, and Sandhill Productions on the beats.
From Big Bang Records:
"Lyrical legend Virtuoso is back bringing the fierce energy that has attracted fans since his formative teenage years as an international underground rap sensation. His latest effort "The Final Conflict" represents the highly anticipated completion of the "Word War" trilogy (along with "The Voice of Reason" and "Evolution of the Torturer"). Production is provided by Multi-Platinum Latin Grammy award winner Musicologo, underground favorites Blue Sky Black Death, Sicknature (of snowgoons), Khrome, and Sandhill Productions. Features from Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Akrobatik, Casual, and Torch combine with Virtuoso's trademark tounge terrorism perfectly, ensuring that "The Final Conflict" will be a hip-hop classic and a fitting finish to his highly acclaimed musical trilogy."
