Hip-Hop | Maye Star – No Dream
Posted by Grubeats on March 29, 2012
Maye Star has spent the last several months carefully carving his sound, selecting the right beats, and among other things, building his fan base. The 16 year old Boston MC is not satisfied with anything less than perfection, assuring the music he puts out is consist, versatile, and of high quality. With that being said, he has scrapped the past songs we dropped which were initially set to be featured on his debut mixtape, Mayeham, as this is the first official release from the project. Produced by International Show, Maye provides one for both the ladies and gents. Flexing his lyrical abilities over this uplifting beat, while he lowers his vocals for a smooth catchy hook. #NoDream #Mayeham

“In advance of the release of his highly anticipated EP Humble Season later this spring, Moufy announces a four-week countdown to the release of a preparatory mixtape, appropriately titled The Preparation. The first track off the mixtape, “Star Gang Anthem Part 2,” is the rapper’s rendition of Red Café’s “Let it Go,” and was just released. The Boston native will drop another new track each Sunday for the next three weeks, leading up to the release of The Preparation on April 21st.”
While Moufy has dropped the first single off his EP, entitled “Glass Break” featuring Masspike Miles, he’s been working hard to give us some free music before Humble Season drops on iTunes. For all the affiliates out there who have been riding with SG for a minute now, how are you feeling this track? Better or worse than “Star Gang Anthem pt. 1”?

Hip-Hop, Videos | Introducing Dillon Cooper

When the population of “aspiring rappers” has surpassed guidos on the Jersey shore, it makes it difficult to identify true talent. I was introduced to Dillon Cooper, a 19 year old MC and Guitarist born and raised in Brookyn, NY. He just recently relocated to Boston where he’s attending the well respected Berklee University, which looks to be the right move for the young kid. This video above was shot by the one and only Jon Kilmer, and at first glace this kid showed me enough confidence and charisma in his delivery to continue watching with an eager eye. His lyrics are on point, his sound is well rounded, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love an Ali sample to kickstart the track?
Dillon’s mission is to speak from his soul and stay true to his self and his crew, R.A.D; Ridiculous and Driven. Seen in the video are RAD JaY THE GREAT who is actually the producer of the song and T-RAD, Dillon’s older brother. Sound off in the newly refined comments section!
Hip-Hop | Cam Meekins – Sentences
Posted by LoffyG on March 12, 2012
Cam drops some quick bars on this freshly released track, “Sentences”. Glad to see he’s back on his grind dropping new music. He went on brief hiatus while working out in Califronia, but since then he’s been dropping quality material. His previous release “Cut Me Off” has been in constant rotation since its release. Be on the lookout for his album release in the near future. LAMP CITY

Hip-Hop | Aziz – The 1990’s (One Love x Dead Presidents x Full Clip)
Posted by GMONEY on February 28, 2012
Aziz, a first generation American, born to a Senegalese father and German mother, spent most of his life in New Hampshire before moving to Boston to study and play basketball at Brandeis University. Blessed with the gift of gab, Aziz ‘s ability to command a room became apparent at an early age, and from the onset, his older brothers pushed him to turn to hip hop as an outlet. The advice clearly paid off, as Aziz has become a budding star in the blogosphere. The video above is a compilation of three verses taken from his mixtape “TwentyOne” that’s set to drop March 12th. The mixtape takes a track from each of the 21 years Aziz has been alive (1990-Today). It includes 21 different artists and 21 different producers over that time period and he spits 21 verses over those respective beats. This mixtape pays homage to the hip hop that inspired and made him who he is today. Now this is what I’m talm’bout.
