Hip-Hop, Rap | IshDARR – Vibe
Posted by admin on February 4, 2015
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.
Electronic, Hip-Hop, Rap | Hiko Momoji – Late Nights (ft. Father & Abra)
Posted by admin on February 3, 2015
The New York based producer, Hiko Momoji, is fairly new to music world with only two songs in existence. For his most recent release he enlisted Awful Records own, Father, and Abra. The duo team up to make a sing-songy lullaby, suited for the Valentines season right around the corner.
The contrast of Abra and Father’s voices bring the song to life and make for an intruiging story start to finish.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Marc Goone is The Scrumple King
Posted by admin 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.

Really happy to be posting this one. Larry June, a dude who’s been making moves with 808Mafia and making a name for himself joins forces with IAMSU! to drop this trap banger. Produced by newcomer KiNG KiLO, its a hard Chicago drill sounding beat that works really well with the two flows. Good rhymes and a lot of bass, what more do you need? Enjoy.
Hip-Hop, Rap | EaSWay // Hoes Over Homies // Prod. Gregory Free
Posted by FilthyTaft on January 8, 2015
EaSWay, the young talent out of LA, continues to drop more good vibes– a similar vibe to Skizzy Mars. The trance like production on this track makes it slow and vibey, a great slow jam with a purple feel, a la A$AP Rocky. Not to mention the dope artwork that comes with every one of his singles. Anyways, EaSWay’s flow throughout the verses continues to impress us all. Give this track a listen, throw it on your playlist, and light one up to this. Enjoy.
