Rob Law x Yelohill - Keep Rising [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Keep rising symbolizes and reflects on the struggles for artists coming up in the LA rap scene. Rob Law and Yelohill come from different hoods and different backgrounds, but the pain is the same. The sound of this song is like if Tupac and Nispey Hussle came together on a track. Uniting LA as one.

The track brings heart and genuine emotion which keep the listener leaning in and anticipating the next line. The two flows offer a different style but the juxtapostion of that is what makes the track pop. ”

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Any track that Uncle Snoop is on is always a vibe. Cartel Son’s latest single “Akt Right” features Snoop Dogg in a single that will have you cruising and dancing.

Jimmy Mack - Walk The Line [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Some feel as if we have come a long way while others have feel we are being tossed backgrounds. California based rapper Jimmy Mack latest single “Walk The Line” takes us through history.

Southbank - Best Mistake [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Coming with a decided Americana tone. Mainstream Country has left a lot of people high and dry and seeking real emotion with easy to sing with lyrics and vibes. This is the sound picking up that slack and Southbank is poised to be a real force. True genuine music and you can’t ask for anything more. ”

Dacris x AnaiD - Imagine (Help For Kerem) [Music Video Review]

Rating: No Rating This Time, Just Heartfelt Hope

“As a curator and music reviewer my goal is to help those who appreciate good music discover new artists and songs. But sometimes music goes beyond the entertainment level and speak to the soul or gives us new insight. It can touch our lives in numerous ways and be there in our time of need. Sometimes it does all of that. This track is about love and understanding and helping someone in need. Now I will turn it over to the artists ...

When I heard the story about Kerem I knew that I want to help him. He is suffering from SMA type 1 and needs the most expensive medical treatment in the world. This song is to raise money to donate and to get his story into your mind. As father I can relate to the suffer and sorrow Kerems parents are going through. So I put all my heart into this lyrical story. I hope you like ‘IMAGINE.’”

#LAOnLockExclusive: The Last MJ - "Dr. Feel" [Music Video Review]

“Let’s take a moment and have a session with Artist The Last MJ as he schools the ladies in his latest single “Dr.Feel.” He takes a moment to explain feelings and how to recognize whether or not someone is in to you or playing games like soccer. The delivery of the song is in a creative Tv talk show tone and segment.

When listening to this track I suggest you take notes and fellas be careful not to give out mix signals.”

Liv Charette - Red Flags White [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Liv Charette simply exudes talent and confidence, and this track hooks right from the first line. ‘Red Flags White’ is a modern dating anthem or more of a moving forward anthem. Just allowing yourself to have some fun and accept the things you cant change or at least not allowing them to stop a bit of fun.

The big bold talent and delivery brings the track to life and this song feels like a declaration of diva status.”

Ceara Cavalieri - Radio Silence [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“I like how Ceara Cavalieri took her new visual “Radio Silence” back to the pop school era. School can be a battle when dealing with “mean girls”. In this story Ceara’s crush isn’t embracing how they feel and leaving her guessing on every emotion. ”

Review: 4 out of 5

“Music can be healing but it can also bring emotions that we try to bury. “Stereo Emotions” is about the love of music and a partner. NuJ4X reveals how music places a role in matters of the heart. One song or many songs can reveal how you are feeling as your emotions play through the stereo. ”

Haiden - Sorry To Your Next Ex [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Taking a unique approach to the conventional break-up song, Haiden unleashes a lyrical masterpiece with ‘Sorry To Your Next Ex.’ The irony and wordplay are the perfect dig for that ex that put you through an ordeal.

Kelsey Gill - Rob Me Blind [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Kelsey Gill starts the track off with a hearty bit of attitude, and then unleashes her vocal range and talent to set the hook. The sound reminded me a bit of Christina Aguilera with a touch mor of a soulful Pop groove lurking to create a different vibe. Lyrically, the track feels tight and holds the attention of the listener, but for me it was the groove and rhythm that really shined alongside the vocal talent to make the song come alive.”

K PRICE - TRUË RELIGION [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Inspired by tequila, weed and a good melody, brand new track, “TRUË RELIGION,” is one to play when you need some good energy. K Price drops a steady flow with just enough production behind it to set it off and establish an easy groove to ride with.

The track offers a vibe that you can fall in and let carry you away from the everyday. No need to reinvent the process when you have talent and can drop in engaging writing and a dope beat. ”
