Andres Javier - Whistleblower [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“This high energy track is a call to get out and vote.
A political Hip-Hop flow with a nice beat and melody calling for the ouster of the Orange one. ”

Rating: 4 out of 5
“There were times I absolutely loved this track, and times I began to question why I do. A unique track that drops a variety of sounds and styles on you, but captivating for damn sure.”
Rashad & Confidence - "Desires" [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“This duo compliments each other over the top of a steady beat and a nice keyboard loop. The flows are unyielding and bring emotion and passion. ”
Mitchell James - Breaking Points [Music Video Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“I’m left with a dilemma on this track. I like the music. The writing is solid and the flow has pop enough to hold my focus all the way through.
That said, the video did not speak to me at all, especially the intro which hit me as a mediocre college assignment filmed by a group of buddies with no acting experience, after hitting happy hour at the local Holiday Inn.
But hey, we are a music blog and the music did its job. ”
Co'xa - Griefer [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“This track hits different.
So much so it isn’t easy to follow, but then again, grief is a twisted dark path that offers no real road map. So while many will dismiss the structure here, (based on the norms of music) this track is an exploration of human emotion, and I can’t think of a better artful expression for the way grief throbs and thumps and takes us to random places as we deal and cope with the pain.
I really only wish it went farther, and offered more, because the track is fairly short overall. ”
Michael Kraun - Long Nights [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Riding a nice hook in the chorus, Michael Kraun delivers a flow that feels genuine in emotion and lyrics. This track sets a mood from the onset, and stays consistent start to finish.”
Dax - Self Proclaimed 3 [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Dax is the epitome of passion, and in this track that fervor manifests into a set of lyrics that speaks as loud as his steady flow. Delivered in a growl, over a steady beat, this is a song that will leave you hyped and ready to take on the world.”
WALDO - Kings Prod By Sango & Savon [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“A hard beat backs most of the flow, and the production shines like a ‘Kings’ crown on this this track, but for me it is the realism of the artist that makes this single rule.
WALDO pays homage to who he is, and where he came from, while bring a cocky humbleness to his lyrics.”
Dandila - nazareth [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“A Jazz infused Lo-fi Hip-Hop track that utilizes strong writing to make its point. all in under two minutes.
Short, yet effective prose makes this a quick listen well worth your time.”

pantology - Carry Water [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“An Instrumental with nice layers, each adding to the depth and emotional engagement. A hard beat backs it all, and the piano and orchestra sound deliver both a jazz smoothness, and a little funk to the mix.”
Derek Luh - Hoodie [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Letting go is tough to do, and many of us have attached our emotions to an inanimate object.

sasha! - Nose Ring [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“The emotion escalates throughout this well-written track, putting you deep inside another’s mind. The stripped down beat and melody get out of the way, allowing for an instantaneous connection to the vocal flow. ”
Kirby Maurier - Key$ [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Soulful and energetic, ‘Key$’ rides a hard beat and R&B vocals to create a genre bending Hip-Hop track that feels commercial, without sacrificing its soul.”
Jaycetone - Going for Gold [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“This is one of those tracks that just grabs you and it is hard to say why. There are some shiny lines that truly are ‘Going For The Gold,’ and the vocal flow is somewhat ordinary until the chorus anyway, but I was on the hook just the same.
I suppose my intrigue here came from the fact that it felt true and I believed the emotion behind the flow.”

Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Micayla De Ette kicks this off with powerful vocals that call and plead and express every artist’s desire to ‘Write A Song’ that will change the world.
Been a minute since I’ve heard from Flavor Flav, but his flow is a perfect juxtaposition here, and this track is engaging all the way through.”
Ghostwriter LA - True [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Ghostwriter LA drops this melancholy tracks that does indeed ring ‘True.’
Life away from home and a support system is a challenge for anyone, and when you add in the tough vibe of making it in a difficult pursuit, like the music business, this song captures that hopeless feeling of chasing a dream.
But where there is a dream — there is always a hope. ”
Small Boss - Childhood Dreams [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
