DJ Deadeye X Chaundon X O-Dash X Rapper Big Pooh “Just In Case”

“Listen to the radio man, the shit is flooded with garbage…”

DJ Deadeye is not a name you’ll recognize right off the bat. As Termanology’s DJ and member of ST. Da Squad, he’s been honing his skills through mixtapes and serving as an opening act for the likes of Ghostface Killah, DJ Premier, M.O.P. and Kanye West. And you can see from the above photo, he’s built an impressive list of contacts. Now, he’s ready to take a stab at the spotlight with his own full length project, Substance Abuse.

This lead single lets you know right off the bat where Deadeye stands regarding commercial music; it’s mostly garbage. Even as clichéd as that is to proclaim in 2011, it doesn’t lower the expectation of the listener to come with something better. To that end, Deadeye recruits Chaundon, O-Dash and Rapper Big Pooh for the lyrics. Lee Bannon handles the production, a bluesy sample complete country guitar licks and a mellow vocal loop.

This crew doesn’t front like money is not important to them; the green and the pursuit of it is the central theme of the rhymes. Unlike many of their mainstream counterparts, they detail the perilous balancing act of trying to live off your music while maintaining integrity and honesty in your art and personal life. It’s a struggle that all emcees go through, but is sparingly talked about.

The tracklist for Substance Abuse follows the song link. No word yet on a release date.
