Kosha Dillz - 15 years later (prod. by Djay Cas) [Review]

August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Tracks like this are important, because they highlight that you can come through whatever it is your dealing with. ‘15 Years alter’ brings a direct flow, delivered with truth and raw emotion. All without being filtered through necessary smoke and mirrors.”

    edbl - Table for Two [Review]

    August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This is a fun, jazzy track with a beat that thumbs like your heartbeat giving it a natural, hip-hop groove that is hard not to move in rhythm with.

    The vocal flow is both sweet and sexy at the same time, and lyrically it puts a new spin on being happy in love.”

      Carlos Bryant - Friends (feat. Don Quez) [Review]

      August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “A dark, almost ethereal, melody and beat set the tone for a set of lyrics that come at you with a steady and emotional flow. The track unfolds like inner dialogue for the first three minutes before morphing into a statement on coping with the world. Almost feels like two songs, but poignant all the way through. ”

          “Just like Michaels’ heart shaped shades we are loving the simple yet relaxed visual for “Stuck On You”. Accompanied by infused guitar strings Michael secludes himself as he talks about a love he once had.”

                                Clay-Doh the World Destroyer - Part of Myself Died (feat. Big Mic & K-Rino) [Review]

                                “A self-reflective and honest track that delivers powerful words in a direct style. This is a track that feels like part confession, but they are also words and sentiments that serve us all. Truly Conscious Hip Hop.”

                                  “A jazzed-up banger with attitude!

                                  Pop in the earbuds, hit play, and stroll through the city streets with some cocksure swagger as this one pumps up your every step.”

                                    “The release of good energy in Lo Boii new single “Chakra” is not only energetic but it gives a funky beat that leaves you clapping and stumping your feet.”

                                      “Straight up. When you’re talking top shelf — be it liquor or music — you don’t need a bunch of unnecessary stuff tossed into the mix. ‘Ghost’ is the kind of track that proves that with a straight-up beat, and a steady linear flow that hits with truth and passion and an underlying wisdom. All without any fancy embellishments.”

                                        “Tight songwriting and a steady flow propel this ode to self forward with each beat.

                                        The melody is lifted up by guitar licks giving this one a mainstream vibe without sacrificing its edge.”
