Loudmouth Lisa - One Born Every Minute (Zuck Mix) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Loudmouth Lisa delivers hard-edged American Rock and Roll with wry intellectual lyrics. The lyric video is a must, so that you can truly digest the full punch of the songwriting.

Don’t be a sucker, give ‘One Born Every Minute’ a listen and add it to you anacrchist playlist. Don’t have an anarchist playlist? Then perhaps you aren’t paying attention to the sheepherders trying to corral you. Loudmouth Lisa is not only paying attention, but providing a bad ass soundtrack to the rebellion.”

ZillaKami - CHAINS [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“If you like your music with a hard edge, and razor sharp attitude, ZillaKami has the sound you are craving.

’Chains’ is a take no prisoners type of track with a hard guttural delivery, and an industrial sounding guitar that drives the backing and brings out the grittiness of this writing and performance.”

JESSIA - I'm not Pretty [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“JESSIA utilizes her sharp vocal talent and smooth Pop style to deliver her body positive affirmations. ‘I’m Not Pretty’ utilizes catchy word play and a dazzling chorus to make the point that we all gotta be who we are, and chasing the rainbow of others is a utter waste of our time.”

912KEEM -LONG LIVE ABE [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A year has past but the hurt, trauma, healing and fight still exists. 912Keem releases their new song Long Live Abe. What started out as was walk/run through the city lead to a violent ending. 912Keem not only walks us through their view but they musically connect us to their emotional feelings. A lot of weight is carried but no one ever sees the scars. ”

Jordan Baumstark - Fashionably Late [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Jordan Baumstark for sure conjures Mac Miller vibes, but the retro funk and groove to this track ads an old school feeling to the mix as well. This is one of those tracks that feels like something you’ve heard before from your very first listen. Not in an unoriginal copycat or tired sort of way, but in that it just feels comfortable and classic.”

Blvff x nikmoody - TRACK 2 [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Every artist has to hustle to carve out their place, and there are a ton of tracks highlighting that struggle, so it is a tough theme to hit and stand out. Blvff and nikmoody were able to do that here with a dark and gritty flow that feels honest and true without trying too hard. The strength is in the delivery, and the writing, and the lines land with precision allowing the listener to feel the tired determination.”

Casey Baer - Hollywood Hills [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Casey Baer brings vocal power to this track about the pursuit of the dream. California and the ‘Hollywood Hills’ have long called dreamers of all types, but the struggle to stand out and achieve those goals is fraught with pitfalls and dangers and it gets damn tough to make it unscathed. This ballad details that struggle quite well, and you can feel the hope and anguish within the words.”

Caleborate - Contact (ft. Kota the Friend) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The writing and lyrical progression of this track hooked me in and held me for the duration of this smooth groove. Caleborate, along with Kota the Friend, did not add any unnecessary embellishments to this track relying on the truth and strong emotion to bring the words alive. The lyric video allows you to decipher the lyrics in a next level kind of way and this is simply good songwriting delivered in an unassuming manner.”

Jon Hope is back with friends. He delivers ‘Where we Come From with Jim Jones and THS with Israel Wusu’. The poetic split is an introduction to survival with reflection on that Hope Shxt.

ETHOS XCIX- Leave Me [Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“You ever wanted to talk but felt like it was pointless? ETHOS XCIX new single ‘Leave Me’ is a direct intro to a pointless feeling. The song starts with realizing you are fxcked up and can’t be saved. He recaps on things he has heard before but at the end of it all he is twisted. I also like the solo EDM instrumentals throughout the song. ”

Arlo Maverick - Hashtag (feat. Riwo) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Stark simple truth — that hits hard!

Arlo Maverick delivers lines and truths that are unfortunately far too true. The imagery of the video is powerful and the gospel like delivery of the chorus adds an emotional depth that really hits home. Strong track and video and the power of the hook hits hard.”

Anja Kotar - Alone Together [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“We have spent a lot of time in isolation this past year and the emotional toll is undeniable. Anja Kotar has distilled much of those feelings into a beautiful Pop song. ‘Alone Together’ captures the rise and fall of emotions and the sort of sweeping uncertainty that has been covering us all. ”

AJ Smith - Roommate [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track has a fun light air about it but still brings an honest and earnest vulnerability. AJ Smith is having fun here with a track written to ask his girlfriend to move in with him. the ukulele driven track tips its hat to classic doo wop, as well as other influences, and ends up just be an entertaining delight.”

STF - September Skies [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Simple honesty in the trademark of this track by STF. Genuine emotions are to be found not only in the actual songwriting, but the tender delivery as well. Reminded me a bit of Phillip Phillips. Add this one to your reflective playlists for those times you want to take a calm memory trip into your past.”

LiBand - Soulja Mentality [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“We recently featured another track from LiBand and that one delivered with unflinching bravado and confidence. This time the flow is a bit more low key, but the unique tone carries the day.

Layed over trap keys and skittering 808s, this flow is more of a steady resolve and mindset than a swaggering boast. In this diversity of styles and sounds, LiBand impresses and verifies he is an artist that is here to stay.”
