FatBran - Braxton's Lullaby [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“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.”
SmooNotAgain - Liar Liar [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

Trebor - Drunk [Review]
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]
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]
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]
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.”
Chrys Thompson - "We On" [Review]
Rating: 5 out 5
“I walked around the room with this blasting then I played it a little while longer. As I got ready to switch screens I found myself still hearing “We On” playing in my head. Need less to say this is how you know a song rides and Chrys has that with his debut single. ”

Cam Be - 7 [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“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.”
