Coast Contra - AYO (Official Video) 

As these young men fight to protect the culture, we must do the same and protect them at all costs!💪🏾

We are here.

Hip Hop culture is grateful to you brothers for continuing the legacy of lyricism. 👑👑👑👑

" Who am I? It's ya HIGHER self, say Hi to yourself. Speaking Life into ya LIFEspan, that LIFE bar was HEALTH. Godly, when did God leave? I still feel his presence. The time is now, sit, calm down, find ya peace...Go to ya inner world, relief..." Ras verse is healing...😌❤

We all pray that rios little sister recovers well in the name of the lord 🙏

That last verse was special.

We operating on a generation whose ultra sound is all the same as a lil baby 😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥 damn the truth right there real rap is still here.

Lil sister fightin cancer bout to turn 15! Man I feel for ya. My son just had a fight last year at 16 and it was the hardest thing to witness. God’s in command and helped him concur it. 🙏🏾 He had stage 3 cancer in 80% of his body…proof that there is a God.

Hard to describe this. Jazz, poetry, mellow, peace, balance, coffee, cigar, wine, honey, a mother humming to a child, sunrise, cool water. God

The dichotomy between the lower and higher self in Ras's verse is masterful! 🔥💯

I aint even old yet but these boys sound like HIP HOP. Not rap, not trap, but the origins....big ups

The fact this doesn’t have 1M + just goes to show what kind of music the majority flocks too. These dudes are more talented than any rapper out right now. RUN THIS ONE UP 💪🏼💪🏼💯‼️ 🔥

The aesthetic, the flows, the outfits, the beat, the merch, the quality, the lyrics, EVERYTHING!! the talent of this group is huge 🔥💯👏🏻 respect!

I'm 51 years old and I carried the radio rahiem boombox on my shoulders daily Coast Contra would be in my radio if I could go back to 1988 that lets you know they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The first guy said it ALL!🤯🔥🔥🔥

Crazy how Ra’s verse he references God and he’s standing still yet still moving..representing that the Most high is everywhere all at once. The whole song is timeless..will be listening from 2024 to infinity

AYO!, I'M A 48yr OLD BLACK MAN FIGHTING CANCER MYSELF NOW FOR THE PAST 4yrs,AND I WANNA THANK YOU GUY'S FOR THE CANCER BARS, AND PRAYERS TO RIO'S LIL SIS,I BROKE OUT IN TEARS WEN AFTER THIS ONE GUYS. AYO,RIO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING CANCER OR YOU JUS WONNA CHAT FAM I'M HERE.I LOVE YOU GUYS AND I GOT MY ENTIRE FAMILY TO SUBSCRIBE TO COAST CONTRA.DAMN SMH,AND RIO TELL LIL SIS (STAY POSITIVE AND FIGHT)❤

As a lifetime Hip-hopper this just makes an old man feel good. Busta, get these boys on the stage with the whole native tongues crew and hand these young men that torch!

I think we got a pulse

The most under appreciated group, hands down. I haven’t heard lyricism like this from the most renowned artists. This is truly legendary, and it will reach the acknowledgement it deserves no matter how long it takes. This is real rap. Much love coast contra, keep releasing, I listen every single day.

This generation doesn’t deserve this, but they better bloody appreciate it.

The greatest rap group of this generation. Just flawless😢

I can't never get to the end of a Coast Contra experience w/o hitting the rewind more than just once. Omg😱😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Best hip hop group of new era💯🛸

That was the most effortless yet excellent 7 minutes of rap I’ve ever heard. They didn’t waste a second or drag on at all. Honestly amazing.

Prayers to your sister and your fam Rio! ❤ the boys are at it again!!!!!!! 🔥

It sucks lyricism isn't more respected. This is golden imo🤯

I was not ready for that last verse… so refreshing.. this man gave me chills.

I seen that code and resuscitation unfold in Eric's verse. Someone, please give that medical degree to EJ 🧑🏾‍⚕️ he straight killed it! And Raz, OMG, beyond a spiritual journey - he's so connected to the light and the higher power. Straight fire 🔥 ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥

Im 44 years old....THESE YOUNG MEN PUT ME IN A TIME CAPSUL...AND ITS '94 AGAIN...I APPRECIATE THE ESSENCE YOU DUDES COLLECTIVELY BRING...MAY SUCCESS AND GROWTH CONTINUE....YOU DUDES ARE MY FAVES ALONG WIT COLE....HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE!!!!❤

Coast contra always pumping out bangers they in my top 5

I watched this vid like 10 times to figure out that Ras' concept was his lower self and higher self having a conversation. F'n NUTZ!! These dudes are SPECIAL !! Prayers sent for Rio's lil sister !!

54. Grew up in NYC and lived HipHop. This sht right here? F L A M E S !

I do love all us old heads coming out to support. "I believe His second coming is every second coming ..." fucking 🔥

I'm a 15 year old ''old head" and I've been pretty frustrated over the lack of new good music. The past few weeks I've been listening to Black On both Sides and Black Star, and as soon as I found this it's been on repeat. It feels modern, but also has the same laid back beat and cadence as golden era hip hop. Hats off to you, Coast Contra.

Sometimes being an older head is a blessing. Got to appreciate the golden era (1990's) as a young fan and now get to witness Coast Contra take me back there. Incredible.

It’s crazy how far hip hop has wandered from the roots. You guys really bring it back to where it should be. Keep it up!

1:30 calling out the greatest, tell him I verbatim . Verb ate him.. 🔥🔥 .. you guys don't miss this whole track is a bar!! Non stop doubles and triples! 🔥 absolute lyrical slaughter !!

The view count is criminally low compared to the talent of these young men

Yall are the cutting edge of hip hop

Hip Hop Is Not Dead. Well Done and GOD SPEED.

GOD uses all of us as an instrument for INSPIRATION and this is true from the heart.

I was recommended here while listening to the song “Dupe - Bulletproof “ 🔥🔥🔥

For me its the guy who raps the last, he never miss, like I've came to realize that he's the best. The way he can play with words its fire... I dont know how many times i always repeats his verses. He's the reason im a fan of Coast Contra. (My sympathy don't ever come too cheap)

Them boyz "Dont Miss"....Coast Forever fuh real

That 1st verse 🫢💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡💯

“The more you independent, more you get dependent on God” This resonates on a deeper level. 🔥🙏

I catch chills every time I hear Coast Contra.... Noone from this era has reflected my 90's highschool days like these brothas.... Lovin' it!!!...

As a paramedic, this is my crew's new anthem!

I'm always actin' like a kid on Christmas day when the Coast drops. Maan, I'm so happy that I'm living the resurrection of Hip-Hop through these 4 rap kings! Si!!!👑👑👑👑

Untouchable 🔥 🔥 🔥 FOUR KINGS. COAST CONTRA CONTINUOUSLY BLESS OUR EARS...

AYO Rio killed this shit 🔥🔥🔥 COAST CONTRA 💪🏾💯🙌🏾

Not enough views and not enough subscribers, THESE GUYS SOME OF THE BEST

I’ve heard this over 30x since dropped. And over 30x I prayed the Lord will heal Rio’s lil Sis. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 This is 🔥

This is the new era of hip hop. Yet an old school feel. Magnificent

You gotta be thankful for the artist that's keeping hip hop alive 🔥🔥🔥

When I was growing up this is what I wanted to see from black culture- men with backbone, suffered a lot from many an injustice inflicted and adopted alike, with ambition and interested in making their own cuture great. Greetings from somewhere far in the ex-USSR. Give these men more appreciation.

Love the fact you're bringing it back to how it was and still should be... Knowledge, wisdom, understanding and teachings with fire lyrics, old school meets the new and this one reminds me of Souls of Mischief and I'm Loving it, keep the movement going.

Drake is pop, this is hip hop

Just received my AYO Hip-Hop Card and have it propped up on my desk at work. Its a great conversation starter and has helped me spread the word more organically. I've also taken some time to write a letter addressed to the address on the Merch. You guys are saving souls- something Ive always known the hip hop culture was truly about- and that has been infectious and influenced me to do my part to uplift those around me. I followed your request and called a buddy that i hadnt spoken w/ since high school. Im happy to say theyre doing well and have a family and are surviving in this crazy world. Thank you for helping me/ us reconnect w/ what matters most. The most cherished things at the end of a life are laughter, close friends and family, and the meals shared with them.

I dont know if there been a group that ever been more talented lyrically. State prop(underrated), wu tang, bone(style wise). In terms of straight lyrically dexterity and cleverness these dudes almost cant be touched.

It’s giving SOULS OF MISCHIEF nostalgic vibes!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

yall returning my faith in not just hip hop but in humanity. 🤘🏻

48 year old head here, I'm loving these young cats, dope shyt right here.

Yo as a 52 year old Veteran and I ain't talking about the Military... y'all young bucks are truly doing Your thing.... Straight up Salute!!!!

I fuckin love y’all man. Ras verse was eliteeeeee

Now this is Art in the form of REAL HIP HOP in its PURITY!!!...Thank you CC...I appreciate the message you bring...

The last verse got so many gems , absolutely incredible delivery. The verse should go on a shirt line by line. The whole song is a vibe .

Was blessed to have been born during the greatest time of hip hop. I was immersed in the culture since the 80’s. I can say wholeheartedly that Coast Contra is the real deal. Shout-out to you all for doing right. The culture needs you. Don’t give up and keep pushing these same lyrical content. You guys will undoubtedly leave your mark in the game when it is your turn to look back, that’s legacy.

Keep the culture alive and pure it’s a lot of imitation of OUR culture we created. ❤️🖤💚

Coast doing it better than anyone out there right now. Healing music by themselves.

New EP/mixtape is fire 🔥 I've been spinning it daily since it dropped. Coast Contra bringing that evolution of the old school

"Learn to say grace before your plate" That falls under only praying when you need something. But you should always be praying and grateful, not only when good things come to you ❤️ love

"The World is fucked up go to your inner World relief" chills

All the healing vibes and energy to your little sis, RIO!! Bless 🙏 On the track -- this is fire! 🔥🔥 Thanks to the four of you for pushing real hip hop back up into the stratosphere! This is where it belongs.

So Dope! Rio, clearly showing his additional value to the group. shutting people up. Dilla and Doom would be proud, the digital sound and hum! Rio we need more and that was a dope verse! I heard you; Prayers to you and your family! Beautifully done gentlemen! THIS IS THE MOVEMENT!

Wow! It is a wake up call for hip hop to wake up and remember. Coast is here and I hope they stay. Most talented and skilled artists I've been lucky enough to listen to. Thank you coast contra
