Hip-Hop | iLoveMakonnen and Sonny Digital team up on “Leave It There”
Posted by dshaq on July 28, 2015
Makonnen intrigues me very much due to his unique sound and lack of rapping. His voice is so different but all of his beats compliment his sound very well and keep me coming back for more. This time we have an excellent collaboration with Sonny Digital, who also produced I Don’t Sell Molly No More, and Makonnen. Straight up, Makonnen makes hits and this one is no different. Expect to be hearing this one around.

Posted by dshaq on April 10, 2015
I think I’m more mad that this song hasn’t been in my life for longer than the 30 minutes that I have been listening to it non-stop. Classic Kanye production with fantastic verses from the youngster Vic and his counterpart Mr. West. Shouts to Stefan Ponce, Smoko Ono, and Mike Dean for help on the track as well. Get used to hearing this one a lot.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Chance the Rapper, Lido, and Towkio Join Forces to Drop One of the Best Songs of 2015
Posted by dshaq on April 8, 2015
The combination of the people on this track was a precursor to just how good this track was going to be. As much as I expected out of this song, it surpassed any and all expectations. The beginning with Lido’s chorus then slows down into a beautiful synthy piano to compliment Towkio’s flow then switching to the juke style beat to let you reminisce just how good Chance’s flow is over that type of beat. Bliss. A group of young individuals who are ahead of the artist curve, and all are paving the way for themselves to solidify their stay in the music industry. Look out for Towkio’s mixtape coming out soon, Lido’s LP, and Chance’s SURF project with the SOX. Good music is on the way so rejoice! In the mean time, let this hold you over.
