Search - Playaz Circle :: Flight 360: the Takeoff

The latest southern rap duo Playaz Circle debuted their disc, Supply & Demand in 2007, easily one of the most anticipated debuts in years. Signed to the groundbreaking Disturbing tha Peace label, founded by multi-platinum and Grammy winning artist and actor Ludacris and Disturbing Tha Peace CEO Chaka Zulu, these Georgia boys continue to make noise with their current hit "Stupid" featuring OJ Da Juiceman from their sophomore album "Flight 360: The Takeoff." "We come from the era when hip-hop really had substance," Tity Boy says. "We were students of artists like NWA, Too Short and Big Daddy Kane. We knew all of that music." Growing-up in the College Park section of Atlanta at a time when hometown groups like Goodie Mob and Outkast were pioneering a southern hip-hop sensibility, the Playaz Circle rap duo Tity Boy and Dolla were boyhood friends before either had ever busted a rhyme. Where we come from, it's all about hot cars and hot chicks. Practicing their skills in the basement of a neighborhood friend or freestyling on the bus, Tity and Dolla were both good students when they attended High School. "These kids today act like its cool to be dumb, but I love going to school. We both graduated, which, where we come from, is a miracle considering there is a huge dropout rate. Kids need to understand, you need school sense as much as street sense." Dolla and Tity recorded their first DTP track "Playpen is the Statepen" for DTP's Golden Grain compilation. "Luda thought I was going to do a song by myself," says Tity Boy. When he heard me and Dolla rapping together (along with their DJ Black Bill Gates), he said, `Damn, ya'll sound good together.' From that moment, it was on." Alluding at their gangster past, the sinister track "Outlaw" sounds like a Black heavy metal soundtrack to an unmade blaxploitation flick. Hard as hell with soaring horns and banging bass, Playaz Circle has no problem bringing a rock `n' roll feeling without letting go of their funky ways. Playaz Circle proves that there is little competition when it comes to being the hottest crew from the south. "On our songs, we just strive to make timeless songs that make you feel good," says Tity Boy. There is no argument; Playaz Circle has achieved that goal.
