    Black Lion - Survive (Ft. Ray Robinson & Testament) [Review]

    July 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “True, hard hitting lyrics delivered in a meaningful flow and a touching chorus. This is one of those songs that will have different meaning for different people, but the magic of such writing is that it is widely relevant, and speaks to many. ”

      Bootleg Rascal - Get Over Myself [Review]

      July 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Smooth vocals and a hard-charging, energetic beat infuse this single with some funk, but pinning down a genre for ‘Get Over Myself’ is tough.

      Bootleg Rascal has given us a track that is all at once ... Indie Rock, Hip-Hop, and Funk. The result is fantastic fun! ”

          Dysphemic (Feat. Yiani Treweeke, Kryptik, Zulu Flow, Alphamama) - Awaken [Review]

          July 04, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Begins with an almost nursery rhyme like vibe that gives a bit of creep factor before a sick beat drops down with a bold, hardcore flow that hits so fast it take several listens to get the full effect.

          ’Awaken’ is a track that stands out among a crowded feel with a unique, yet engaging sound that thumps with a hearty bass line.”

              Big OC - Flourine [Review]

              July 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Instrumentals, Hip-Hop, Conscious

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “It’s not easy for an instrumental to grab, much less hold, my attention, but this track does both. The beat is steady, yet transfixing, and there is just enough going on throughout to make the piece interesting, without becoming too hectic.

              Emotion invoking and musically appealing, Big OC has something to be proud of with this piece.”

                “California still calls to the dreamers and schemers and those just looking for a place to escape. This tracks distills those emotions into a steady beat and a solid set of vocals to give an anthem for those same dreamers, schemers, and searchers.”

                                “DCMBR is talking to me in his new single “Talk” He delivers a sophisticate Hip-Hop vibe mixed with a seductive R&B melody. ”

                                  “An honest, heartfelt flow meant for FatBran’s newborn son. What I most appreciate is the genuineness of the lyrics.

                                  This is not a man proclaiming to have all the answers or the right decisions, but rather a pledge to do the best he can via hard work and love.

                                  This message holds an appeal we can all appreciate.”

                                      “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]

                                        “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.”
