216 - The Game Is Life

Allow me to introduce 216, the latest and biggest duo coming from the streets of Cleveland. Rekindling the crowd-pumping, lyrically inspiring vibe of hip-hop’s golden age, 216’s sound is full of edgy, envelop-pushing lyrics, packing heavy baselines and aggressive instrumentals. Their upcoming album, The Game Is Life, is a funky, soulful, substance-laden, vex of instrumentals, layered with weighty vocals and hi-intensity wordplay. The 18-track album plays out like theater, part humor and part protest and struggle.

A large portion of the musical orchestration was provided by hit maker Scott Storch, with on-point guest appearances by Fat Joe, Butch Cassidy, Hitman, Sleepy Brown, and NBA All-Star Jalen Rose, helping 216 to illustrate the glory and God-awful truths of urban existence. In fact, this album has come after years of hard work, paying their dues pounding the pavement and even living and working a year with the legendary Parrish Smith of EPMD.

Setting the album off is the first single “Hey, Hey” produced by Storch. This mid-tempo groove, driven by the rhythmic synthesizers, is a bottle poppin’ fun-fest. Check it out below and see for yourself.
