    SmooNotAgain - Liar Liar [Music Video Review]

    June 06, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Contemporary R&B

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “There is a thin line between loyalty and lies. SmooNotAgain tells the story of a couple that lies together and the consequences that follow.The visual is far from a Bonnie and Clyde remake but the tale of liars. ”

      Trebor - Drunk [Review]

      June 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This is an interesting project that is so much more than your typical three to four minute musical interlude. ‘Drunk” offers a perspective in what is really two tracks in one.

      The inebriated impulsive and erratic flow early gives way to the soulful jazz infused regret of the next day. I prefer the latter musically, but without the rough night we never would experience the mindful reflection.

      It is hard to compare this single to other music as it is both music and social commentary. Of course those elements are often combined, though not quite in this same way.

      I am not certain this is a track that many will want to play over and over again, but it certainly is a viewpoint we all need to stop and think over now and again and this kind of songwriting makes me very eager to hear more out of Trebor.”

        Dax - Did It First [Music Video Review]

        June 05, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Hip-Hop, Rap, Conscious

        Rating: 5 out of 5

        “Did I First” intro is so long prior to the song starting at 1:20 but it is worth the wait. From story telling to suspense Dax artistically combines his flow and his lyrics into a prophecy. ”

          River Nelson - Today [Review]

          June 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This is one of those tracks that surprises you. Take any ten or fifteen second snippet and you might think what is this basic beat and flow? But listen for a beat or two longer and the nuances settle in, and the lyrics penetrate, and you realize ... Damn, I have so been there ... had these same feeling of needing, and wanting something good to happen ‘Today.’

          This is a single that feels like it came straight from your own inner dialogue. If only your own inner dialogue came with a snappy beat and a fresh flow with a slight reggae hint to it.”

            DVTCH NORRIS - Save Us (ft. Rori) [Music Video Review]

            May 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Conscious, Hip-Hop

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “So many songs lyrics are filled with bluster and bravado, and far too often, the entire things feels like contrived bullshit.

            ’Save Us’ is full of confidence as well, and yet the single takes an entirely different approach to get there. From a beautiful pleading chorus sand by Rori, to the hard edged flow of Dvtch Norris, this one feels real and raw and openly breaks down the fears and insecurities without hiding behind the all-too-common false narrative of ... I’m a bad ass.

            A real bad ass is willing to show us the dark places as well as the joy, the hopes and the confidence. This single does that very well.”

                  “Smooth, soulful, and packing an emotional punch, ‘7’ takes you on a ride through the streets via a video, but the magic here is such that you don’t need the visual of the video to take that same trip. The lyrics and delivery are capable of taking you there all by themselves, so sit back, listen up, and enjoy the ride.”

                                “Not all is sunny on ‘Sunny Lane,’ but this single definitely sheds light on the dark side of suburbia. Riding a steady beat, the truth flows steady and direct.”

                                    “ It’s hard to come across a Hip-Hop song that doesn’t have profanity but Marcanum X delivers nothing but clean lyrics in this new single.”

                                        “Smooth flow and honest, true lyrics that tap into emotions we’ve all felt while simultaneously wondering if the world has passed us by, and if we somehow have already seen and experienced all the best things.

                                        A groove best sampled while reflecting on life and sipping the adult beverage of your choice.”
