Electro, Hip-Hop, Rap | Mulherin – Royalty (ft. Jon Waltz)

Posted by on February 12, 2015

Jon Waltz is an interesting character. His music floats back and forth between amazingly self-aware, and uncontrollably catchy. In this particular tune with producer duo Mulherin we find Waltz gliding in an out of pockets in the production. He’s is not overpowered by the entrancing instrumental, rather the intrinsic rhymes are a perfect complement.

While Jon still works to find his exact niche in the overarching and massively expanding genre of “rap”, it is nice to hear a rapper who can add value to the increasingly complex production of this day and age.

Hip-Hop, Rap | IshDARR – Vibe

Posted by on February 4, 2015

ishalbum

IshDARR is a proponent of the strange, but incredibly captivating group of artists from Milwaukee that have been making noise for the past year or so.

Ish is only 18, but carries wisdom far beyond his years. His music is forward thinking, yet contains a certain charm of earlier hip-hop. His France-based producer, Jean Kengz, is partially to thank for this sound; the two mesh well and create a song that is as interesting sonically as it is content-wise.

Old Soul, Young Spirit is the name of Ish’s forthcoming album, set to drop later in the spring. Stay tuned for much more in the bright future of this young talent.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Marc Goone is The Scrumple King

Posted by on January 24, 2015

Marc Goone is an anomaly. To say his Twitter presence is strange would be an understatement. To say his music is packed with surprises simply wouldn’t do it justice.

On his newest album The Scrumple King Goone mixed the perfect amount of unabashed humor, with a level of self-awareness that is rare in any artist. His writing is stunning with deeply-rooted metaphors and rhyme-schemes that a normal rapper would be scared to even attempt.

With his brand down-pat and now clearly the music just as stunning, 2015 should be a big year for the St. Louis native.
