Hip-Hop, Rap | The (W)rap Up Vol. 2

Posted by on March 6, 2015

Demo Taped – I Luv U

17 year-old Demo Taped is the newest DIY excitement in the music world. His Heart EP is a collection of three self-produced songs where the Atlanta native sings, raps, and bounces all over the infectious instrumentals. Listen to the stand out “I Luv U” above, and expect to hear plenty more from rising talent.

IshDARR – Old Soul, Young Spirit

After his J-Gramm produced single “Too Bad” exploded on Hype Machine and across the internet, IshDARR has unveiled his first full length project. It’s cohesive, and a true statement to the ability of the 18 year old. He discusses turning down a deal from Atlantic, and with the work displayed across this body of work, Atlantic won’t be the last major label knocking on his door.

Daye Jack – Mona Lisa

Writing about yet another teenager in this week’s Wrap Up feels surprising, but all too familiar in the current landscape of up and coming artists. Daye Jack is back with his crossover rap sound in “Mona Lisa”. He questions himself and his future all while sounding appealing to a wide range of listeners.

Flash Giordani – Xaniel Webster

One of the most important parts in a young artist’s career is his or her ability to not take themselves too seriously. Drake embraces his memes, and Lil B and Riff Raff have created full blown careers off their eccentric personalities. Next up is Baltimore’s own “Asian Savior,” Flash Giordani. Listen to his xanax-ed out music and be ready for plenty more where it came from.

Billy Chambers – Got Me

Billy Chambers is not one for labels. He uses his rapping as a tool to compliment his singing voice while experimenting with the futuristic production that has become so popular in today’s SoundCloud world. While still raw, Chambers show far more potential for a widespread audience that many up and comers.
