Hip-Hop, Rap | Angelo Mota – alive (ft. SIIMBA LIIVES LONG) [prod. eestbound]

Posted by on May 29, 2015

Wow, I can’t get over how good this record is! The hook and the verses from both featured SIIMBA LIVES LONG and Angelo Mota reminds me of a classic head banger where they take you for a crazy lyrical journey. I’ve been following Angelo for a few months now, and this might be the start of a rising star in the making. Make sure you grab the free download above!

 

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | EaSWay – les bourgeois (Mixtape)

Posted by on May 23, 2015

EaSWay’s new project, Les Bourgeois, is a commentary on the mislead priorities and insignificant desires of a lost generation. EaSWay raps about the good, the bad and the tempting throughout this mixtape and he is never too righteous to deem himself above the rest of his generation. The tape is a mix of songs about love, sex, money, and fame and as standard as that might sound, it is delivered in a way that brings new light on the subjects.

Electronic, Rap, RnB | Justice Skolnik Puts A Unique Trap Spin On The Weeknds “Where You Belong”

Posted by on May 19, 2015

Justice Skolnik’s “Where You Belong” is one of the freshest The Weeknd remixes we’ve heard to date. The Chicago-based producer from San Francisco shows poise for a dynamic combination of synth and melody in this track. Classically trained on the guitar, Skolnik’s transition to electronic music is recent but very promising. The 18-year-old producer is primed for a huge breakthrough this year. You can stream below and even grab a free download below. Enjoy!

Hip-Hop, Rap | Matt McGhee – Crystal (ft. moneyfourdrugs)

Posted by on May 18, 2015

Local DC resident Matt McGhee has released a steady output of music over the past couple of months, and today I have to share with you “Crystal”. While it won’t be a part of Matt’s upcoming project, “Crystal” is a soft-spoken, simple, but authentic song that tells the story of Matt’s struggle with a mystery girl.

If this is just a loosie to tide people over, I can’t wait to see what is coming off the project.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Drew Mantia – Kill Yo Ass (ft. Hologram Kizzie)

Posted by on May 12, 2015

As the Chicago music scene continues to bubble and expand we get a new offering from Drew Mantia, assisted by the serenading of Hologram Kizzie. Originally from St. Louis, Drew went to school to study music and has since been building his own brand and performing alongside some exciting acts in St. Louis’ finest venues.

“Kill Yo Ass” sounds like it comes from a very real place, which can be attributed to the fact that it is self-produced.

The raspy voice atop jazzy, drum-heavy instrumental makes for an exciting and relaxing combination all in one. Listen to the introspective song, and get to know Drew Mantia as it won’t be the last time you hear the name.

Hip-Hop, Rap | The (W)rap Up Vol. 5

Posted by on April 28, 2015

Kojey Radical – Bambu

There’s something about a deep-voiced British accent that is soothing to listen to. Which in this case is quite surprising once you grasp how destructive Kojey Radical’s lyrics actually are.

The London-raised emcee uses a spoken-word delivery, and accompanied by the dark and beautiful video makes a 4 minute story and movie worth watching.

Ravyn Lenae – Blossom Dearie

Once again we venture out of the confines of rap to bring you a new release from the 16-year-old Ravyn Lenae. With a poise, sound and talent far beyond her years, Ravyn chirps her sweet melodies atop Monte Booker production in “Blossom Dearie”.

A strong follow up to her first ever release, it seems that Lenae is on the fast track to break from the Chicago bubble and take things to a new level.

Daye Jack – Easy (Live)

Although not the official music video, Daye Jack dropped a one-take accompaniment to his stand out hit “Easy” via Kinda Neat. He displays the true artistic ability he possesses and uses his rapping as a tool to highlight the catchy and full choruses.

Billy Chambers – Followers (ft. Solomonilla)

Hometown favorite Billy Chambers has returned with yet another bouncy track assisted by Solomonilla. Billy continues on his roll of exciting new music and pushes the boundaries of each genre he dabbles in.

With every song it seems there is a new development in artistry, and still a young kid Billy has plenty of time to continue honing his craft.
