316, which is the standard formula for a hip hop record (3) 16's, is made up of Henny
Holyfield, Sol, and Speak EZ. These emcees originally met in 2010 and were a
four-emcee crew named Forensic, but as the fourth member relocated, the
trio began working on their solo endeavors separately. In 2013, group
members Henny Holyfield and Sol collaborated and formed The
Beatknocks, and released their debut album Spittin Images,
followed up by their 2nd album, Konnection Established in
2015. Speak EZ was featured on both albums. In 2020,
Henny and Sol decided it was time to turn the duo into
a trio under the name 316, to release a project that
their city needed and the attention it deserves.
Not like your typical album in the 21st Century, That’s a Rap, holds sixteen tracks
that showcase how versatile this group is. Being huge consumers of music
themselves, it was important to release a full-length album to the masses,
not to mention the time and energy it took to create a piece of art to play
from beginning to end without skipping. With tracks like Hola, Keep in
Touch, and Wake me Up you are sure to find a joint to slap in your
speakers. A multitude of talent lies within this album from
producers, lyrical mastery, and emotion, That’s a Rap,
is well worth adding to your playlist.
