Tommie King releases his third and final single of 2017, “Eastside” featuring Cyhi The Prynce. Rising artist Tommie King and ATL legend, Cyhi The
Prynce are both from the Eastside of Atlanta, so it was only right for the two lyricists to collaborate and create a record that represents where they come
from. Cyhi’s recent album release, “No Dope On Sundays” proved that he is truly one of the, if not the greatest lyricist to ever represent Atlanta. He
continues to prove this as Cyhi and Tommie King equally deliver witty lyrics and punchlines that blend together creating the smooth and southern
sound of “Eastside.”

Sliptrick Records Welcome Legendary Japanese Group SABRE TIGER

Saber Tiger was founded in 1981 by guitarist Akihito Kinoshita and they have been illuminating the Japanese metal scene ever since. In recent years,
they have been more prolific than ever, leading to the international release of Bystander Effect via Sliptrick Records in March, 2018. The album illustrates
the broad appeal of Saber Tiger. The riffs are intricate, yet catchy. The songs are heavy, yet melodic. And the vocals of Takenori Shimoyama are raw, but
extremely passionate. As a result, the groups heavy metal is classic and timeless while at the same time having the potential to appeal to both traditional
metal-heads and fans of contemporary power metal. There are even some progressive influences in their music. The band may have been around for a
long time but there is a freshness and commitment to the music that belies their many years and the band certainly sound nothing if not contemporary.
