Exclusive, Featured, Hip-Hop, Indie, Rap, Trap | Vic August Releases New Single “Approach (feat. Socialblight & UKNWN)”

Posted by on August 16, 2019

With his signature sauce and undeniable swag, it makes perfect sense that he has already picked up co-signs from Ebro on Beats 1 and Spotify – landing on the cover of their ‘Mellow Styles’ playlist in Australia.

On “Approach,” Vic August brings smooth melodic flows over a slick guitar driven, Trap infused beat, blurring the lines between Hip Hop & R&B in a way that only he can. “Approach” is the first single off his upcoming album “xx”due out in November, and if the rest of the album sounds like this single, he’s on track to being the next Travis Scott.

Hip-Hop, Videos | MYSTERIOUS DUO CRASH LAND ON STMPD RCRDS

Posted by on May 1, 2017



A new hip-hop duo by the name of Crash Land have just debuted an interesting new space themed video and single with Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS. Not much is known about the mysterious duo, but the production quality and level of visuals make it seem as if these were established artists already. The video follows an astronaut crash landing on an alien planet with a catchy electronic beat to go along with equally catchy bars. Stream & Download here.

Albums, Hip-Hop, Rap | Atlanta Native, Kelechi, Drops Debut Album “Before The Quarter”

Posted by on May 27, 2016

Sometimes you hear an artist and are 7-seconds into the first song, you’re on to the next. Sometimes you hear an artist for the first time and are instantly drawn in. Whether it be the beat, their flow, the lyrics or the message, sometimes you just get that feeling you found something special. A few years back I stumbled across STNDRD, a hip-hop duo out of Hotlanta. Kelechi & Phay, two very talented artists were the talent behind the label. They were clearly motivated (as I quickly confirmed after seeing and hearing “We Want It All“). They were cultured and proud of their diverse backgrounds. They were confident, fun, and full of energy. Most importantly, they could RAP.

Fast forward 2 1/2 years, both artists are still representing STNDRD, but pursuing parallel solo careers. Kelechi was the recipient of $50k after being recognized as the winner of Green Label Sound’s “Open Call” contest. Identified as one of the next talents on the brink of explosion, Kelechief invested that nickel lump right back into his debut album, Before The Quarter. Making valuable industry connections and cosigns along the way, Kelechi has been earning his key and building bridges along the way. “Before the Quarter” is Kelechi’s breakout. 10 tracks, from raw to delicate, Chief flexes appropriately, but never lacks a message. Enjoy the album stream and cop your own copy on iTunes if those first 7-seconds hit you like they hit me.

Covering what’s left of your favorite rap tunes of the 2000 era, Outkast’s “Roses” receives the remix treatment by PLS&TY, and he’s not going tropical house a la Matoma, he’s raising the bar, on his grown man shit, going future with it, with smooth tones of jazz to get us into the tune, and I’m feeling it.
