Black Soprano Family (BSF) artist RJ Payne, formerly known as Reign Man, just released his highly anticipated "Leatherface" album. And what would the project be without a collaboration with BSF boss Benny The Butcher?
Take a listen as the two supreme lyricists trade bars on a track appropriately titled "Butcher Meets Leatherface."
There's a reason RJ Payne is the newest member of Benny The Butcher's Black Soprano Family (BSF). It comes down to bars, which RJ has in abundance.
Prior to linking up with Benny, RJ, had already established himself as one of the best lyricists on the indie scene. His "If Cocaine Could Talk" album series, as well as "The Elohim" project put fellow emcees on notice that there was a new sheriff in town.
Next up is RJ's "Leatherface" LP. Which drops next week.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's circle back to RJ's music video for "Cocaine Buffet," produced by Fonkstarr of Crummie Beats. This is taken from "If Cocaine Could Talk Vol. 2."

If you haven't heard of the hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse or the movement of "Juggalos" behind them by now, you have to have been living in a cave. ICP was founded in Detroit in 1989. At one point major focus was on them after being involved in a musical and personal dispute with Shady/Aftermath recording artist, Eminem. But their legacy begins and was built long before this.
They came out independently with a mix of horrorcore and hiphop sound. And the gimmick added,...faces painted like clowns. This strange look and original sound built a humongous cult like following long before their names were known through out mainstream music. And the fans were loyal. Always supporting by purchasing everything from the albums and show tickets, to clothing merchandise and even car decals. In the beginning them being independent was almost, frowned upon...I mean who does music with no wants of major backing, right? WRONG. Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J were geniuses light years ahead of their time. And today, they are the 2 of the main faces on the frontline of hip hop independence. And the following of support they have gathered has them and their artists eating better then most of these "mainstream rappers."
The following created by the Insane Clown Posse (and several others of this genre who were all close associates of ICP) developed a name, "Juggalos", with the female counter-parts known as "Juggalettes." You could usually see them a mile away. All draped in clothing that represented ICP and other artists of those circles. Jewelry and tattoos as well. Becoming the most famous mark of this crowd and circle of artists signed to ICP's label "Pyschopathic Records", is the Hatchet man. Sure you seen it, the character in mid-run with a huge hatchet in hand.
The love for the music, recognizable symbols,deep loyalty, a strong sense of family for one another and not standing for any bullshit...has some how labeled this music groups fanbase as a gang according to papers released by the FBI. The fans and musicians as well did not take kindly to this. A march has been organized and they will be marching into Washington DC to demand that their music loving asses are respectably removed from such a disrespectful listing.
But the lash back doesn't stop there. J and 2 Dope brought their Coalition of Clowns together to deliver a sick Psycopathic Psypher song and video "If We Were A Gang." And everybody took the time to speak their mind and address all issues while explaining if they weren't about love..it would be a real problem...so let them make music and money in peace.
I have to say everyone brought their A-Game. ABK, Lyte, Shaggy 2 Dope, Big HooDoo, Blahzay Roze and even DJ Clay brought some dope content to this track. I have to give it up to Blahzay Roze, I was curious if she would be able to hold her own with such well toned veteran Emcees. She did an awesome job of keeping up and showing that she can go with the best in a male dominated industry. No matter who she is on the track with.
Ending the Pyspher, and having the most to say (but it shouldn't have been any other way) was Violent J. He had to have delivered 46 bars or better, but he said somethings that mattered. From addressing the situation the song is based on, to addressing issues with in the Juggalo family. But if you know just a quarter of what all Juggalo's are facing at this time, then you can feel the depth and reality of his verse. The psypher all the way around...was excellently formatted, filmed and presented.
So with out further ado...check out the Psycopathic Psypher- If We Were A Gang
