Jos3ph -THIS LA [Review]

October 21, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap
“Jos3ph’s “THIS LA” presents an opportunity for the artist to showcase his sound and identity through a track centered on the Los Angeles experience. The song’s overall impression will depend on how its production, delivery, and lyrical perspective work together to communicate the atmosphere and personality behind the record. I”

    Keadon Carium - LUSTFUL PROBLEMS [Music Review]

    October 16, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop
    “Canadian Rapper, Keadon Carium drops his track, ‘Lustful Problems.’ The song has some Pop sensibilities though the flow leans heavy on its Rap cadence.

    The tone is unique, and the timing spot on. The track is on the shorter side but it delivers its message by getting in and out with engaging efficiency.”

      Jack & Jack - All On You [Music Review]

      October 11, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial, Pop, Rap
      “Jack & Jack is the collective effort of childhood best friends Jack Gilinsky and Jack Johnson. The pair first showcased their artistic efforts on Vine with comedic videos and today they put much of their creativity into their music.

      ’All On You’ is a synth heavy, Indie Pop track about supporting the one you love through good times and bad. The beat is infectious and the vocal performance keeps the listener engaged start to finish. ”

        The Money Shots - Rise Up! [Music Review]

        October 11, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Rap, Indie Rock
        “The Money Shots are an anonymous music collective who are currently underground for safety concerns. They are advocating for radical democracy.

        It says a lot about the world we are living in that a collective of talented musical artists have to hide their identity when advocating for people to stand up and fight for their rights. Transcending genre, the track is a talented array of artists and styles that combine to form and engaging protest song.

        ’Rise Up’ is an anthem to the fed up and the pissed off and I am here for it.”

          Ice Meez - I Been [Music Review]

          September 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Trap
          “Recording at the legendary Royal House Recording Studio, ‘I Been,’ just might be Ice Meez’s best work yet. The Northern Californian rapper has caught the ear of Platinum artist Tee Grizzley who flew Meez to Detroit to record this track.

          Riding a confident mid-tempo bounce, the track has a commercial edge making it accessible to all without sacrificing the West Coast vibes or edge that has defines California’s scene for decades.”

            August 09, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Rap
            “The beat and groove is alluring on simon lucas’s track, ‘midnight drive.’ The closing number to his sunnyboy EP the track is meant to conjure what happens next vibes to the story and album but it can also serve as an ethereal groove for anyone just feeling the vibes and ideas of a new, much needed, beginning. ”

              “Last Alex! captures a vibe on ‘PALM TREEZ,’ and track that has one foot in modern Hip Hop vocal style while not running from the past by utilizing a Boombap beat to drive the tempo and add nuance to the a trippy little flow. ”

                “Ice Meez unleashes a flow that hits hard, but don’t discount this beat and backing as it feeds the lyrics in a meaningful way by setting the tone. ‘The Other Side’ is a street anthem, a declaration of truth as lived by the artist.”

                  “Ese $antana’s “Malandrin PT. 2” brings gritty energy with hard-hitting production and a confident delivery that commands attention.

                    “Man I love everything about this. The vinyl scratch in the backing, that beat, and the tasty old school delivery.

                      Ozi x Cat’s Eye - Work It Out [Music Review]

                      May 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Hip-Hop, Rap, Conscious
                      “Moving on is hard especially when you can still feel those feelings of old. Hip Hop artists Ozi and Cat’s Eye unfurl this flow about wanting to ‘Work It Out,’ but some damage is irreversible and sometimes things will never be the same. The track has a old school West Coast rap vibe that keeps the linster on the edge, leaning in for the entire lyrical build.”

                          “Errol Eats Everything is turning back the back and taking Hip Hop back to it roots with ‘Round N Round.’ The track features Rome Streetz and delivers lyrical punches that land with far more than a catchy beat and hook. That is not to say the track isn’t fire that hooks, just that there is emotional depth and meaning behind this flow with old school sensibilities.”

                            BIGBAGMACK -Tork [Review]

                            December 30, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap
                            “TORK” by BigBagMack hits with raw energy and confidence, driven by a hard beat that matches his aggressive delivery. The track feels unapologetic and street-rooted, showcasing his ability to talk his talk without overcomplicating the message. Lyrically, it’s more about presence and attitude than storytelling, which works for the vibe he’s setting.

                            Overall, “TORK” is a solid turn-up record that reinforces BigBagMack’s momentum and sound.”

                                  Lil Pak -No Heart (feat. Gunna) [Review]

                                  November 14, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap
                                  “Lil Pak steps into a new lane with “No Heart,” linking up with Gunna for a track that blends icy confidence with smooth, melodic flexing.

                                  Lil Pak delivers sharp, focused verses that feel like he’s leveling up, tapping into a colder, more polished persona. Gunna slides in with his signature effortless flow, adding a glossy layer that elevates the entire record.”

                                    Taye Blues - GTTH [Review]

                                    October 22, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap
                                    “Taye Blues’ “GTTH” hits hard from the jump a sharp, confident rap track that blends street grit with self-reflection. His flow is clean and assertive, riding a slick beat that keeps your head nodding. Lyrically, Taye spits about hustle, loyalty, and staying true while cutting through the noise.”

                                      Lex Leosis - sayso [Music Video Review]

                                      October 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Hip-Hop, Rap, Pop
                                      “Hailing from Canada and standing 6’2 Lex Leosis is used to standing out. And now she’s turning Hip-Hop stereotypes u[side down with her deep voice and wild curls. A self-proclaimed recoevering people pleaser, she dedicates ‘sayso’ to others who have went against their gut for the benefit of others. Especially women and queer folks who’ve carried the weight of others, and now must learn to build boundaries and reclaim space for themselves.

                                      Beyond this, the track has a gnarly infectious beat and an undeniable rhythm that will leave you singing along long after the last note has faded.”

                                        BlackDiamond x Compton AV - Who's Next [Music Review]

                                        October 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Trap, Hip-Hop
                                        “BlackDiamond and Compton Av team up to deliver this hard hitting flow. The streets of Fresno shaped BlackDiamond and a thirteen year prison stint further honed who he is today. ‘Who’s Next’ is the kind of track that will resonate for others but comes from the heart and soul of a an artist that is simply spitting his own truths.”
