If you grew up in the M.I.A., you know our Skyline has grown immensly since we were kids.  When you drive East on the 836, aka The Dolphin Expressway, you can’t help but notice our every growing Down Town and Brickell Area being filled with even more skyscrapers. This is where the New Money in Miami lives now. The Young and Rich who keep the Miami Night Life scene pumping 7 days a week.  Kendall FL Legends NORTHSTAR THE GENERAL, SHOTTIE, & MONEY MOGLY arent Rich, and they arent that Young anymore either.  However, they do seem to be enjoying a different pespective than most in the South Florida Hip Hop Scene.  A view from a vantage point. On their latest single, the BOGER produced TOP TIER, they sound like they looking down and spitting on their haters from a Penthouse on Biscayne Blvd.

Listen to TOP TIER by NORTHSTAR THE GENERAL  ft MONEY MOGLY & SHOTTIE Here

German Prodcuer BOLGER blessed NORTH and his special invited guests with a banger of a beat that starts off with full cinamatic fanfare. MONEY MOGLY  kicks off the boast fest, recounting his journey from the days of having to take “other people’s food” to eat to where he is now breaking bread with his family and comrads as he shares the fruits of his success.

” In the Goat Garm cooking chicken turning beef into stew/ turn a quickie to a drive-thru, a Z into a few/ turn a few into a whole, a whole into a pallet/ of Mary, Bricks and Bars, I had to break it with a mallet/”
If you are an active MC in the SoFlow community or Miami Indie hip hop fan you know that WXTCH WXLVEZ and the GOAT FARM are two of the most revered rap cliques in South Florida at the moment. If you go way back with the South Florida hip hop scene, like these 3 gentlemen do, you should remember NORTHSTAR THE GENERAL of the infamous Duo NORTH AND AGONY. North and AG were two of the first underground MCS from Kendall to get constant play on Miami FM Radio by way of DJ Epps and the NIGHT BREEDERS ENT organization. Along with SHOTTIE, who at the time was known as DEADSHOT and a member of the highly respected Duo named IDEE4, they formed COMMON GROUND MUSIC GROUP, with producer & mentor PROFILE (rest in peace). Whenever you heard the name CeeGee get chanted in the club you knew some serious spitters were about to take the stage.  Both Duos were slated to be the next to blow up out of Miami, but as the music industry often does, they had their heads filled with promises by sketchy a & r’s that never delivered. No problem though. Both NORTH and SHOTTIE took their time picking up some new skills, honing their crafts, and making a name for themselves in more than just the local rap scene. Fast forward to the present, NORTHSTAR is now 1/2 of the Live Event Production and Promotion company known as 4K Pro which is responsible for bringing dope Indie Hip Hop to Miami and providing South Florida artists with a platform to launch their Indie careers. After spending the last 2 years behind the soundboards at Lincoln Beards Brewing helping a new generation of Miami artist get recognized, NORTH is ready to remind the city who the f*** he really is,
“The first to set it off to remind you who you f****** with/ the wildest n***** from my crew and I am running lip/”
A self-made entrepreneur, audio engineer, promoter, MC, single father of three, NORTHSTAR THE GENERAL has always been a brother who cares about bringing shine to his whole community. Whether it be COMMON GROUND, KENDALL, or the city of Miami, NORTHSTAR has always made sure to put others on before himself.  This is how he has managed to surround himself with the TOP TIER of Miami Hip Hop.

His COMMON GROUND brother, SHOTTIE, is cut from that same cloth. After a long hiatus from the Miami music scene, SHOTTIE re-emerged as the host of the HUMAN SUSHI PODCAST, where he spent his time bringing exposure to artist and hustlers of all types in the South Florida scene. As a member of the South Florida Media Gang (SFMG), he not only helped organize and host, but also added some much-needed sparks to the now historic Kendall vs Hialeah  VERZES Battle during the Corona era. He often credits this as the launching point for his reinvigorated music career which has shot SHOTTIE to the top of Miami’s independent artist rankings, making him and MONEY MOGLY arguably the number one and two MC in the South Florida at the moment ( the last person to disagree has come up missing from the local scene as of late). Once you hear the last verse on TOP TIER you’ll find yourself agreeing with our ranking unless you’re deaf, a hater, or don’t understand bar work.
The “Pulp novelist with a Manson family size cold following” spitz
” I moved a couple records and I was so proud of it / I’m out of sold my soul but at least I sold some product out of it/ the homies told me they want to hear some double entender’s/ I used have to double bag s***, guess I’m in the wrong genre/”
Punchlines, “Dope Rap”, boss bars, whatever you’re in the market for, “Smoke Shop Jesus” has what your looking for.
He’s been serving his ever growing customer base for the past 3 years with back to back EPs, LPs and Singles that all maintain his Top Teir standard. His latest Full Length release, ALLIGATOR ALLEY with Copenhagen Denmark producer MACHACHA is currently out on Digital Platforms with limited edition Collectable Cassette Tapes and CDs for purchase exclusively on  www.ThePressCollextive.com (The Vinyl sold out in the 1st week, There’s a reason he runs the GOAT FARM). I am personally long overdue for a published review of ALLIGATOR ALLEY, and now that we are back to an almost normal workflow schedule at WVCC, we should have our 2 Cents on SHOTTIE’s last stellar project for you in digital print in the days to come.
For now, enjoy the view from the Penthouse of the SkyScraper these brothers in arms have built together. They have worked through their past differences to get this far, and grown closer than soldiers in the trenches together as they have faught tooth and nail to get their voices heard outside of Miami. Leading by example to show proof of the truth that SHOTTIE speaks in his final bars.
“The G.O.A.T.ed One/ Lets put that fucking beef aside, and keep them sneakers tied Cuz we got a Road to Run/ Imagine what would happen if we all Rolled as One/ You already know we Won/”
