Chris O'Bannon - I Promise, featuring Free Ackrite (Prod. by DJ WES x SLGHTWRK) [Review]

June 27, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Rating: 3 out of 5

“Riding a steady beat and lyrics that flow well, Chris O’Bannon drops a single rich in confidence. The promise in ‘I Promise’ is more boastful than earnest , but O’Bannon pulls the cockiness off with an unflinching delivery that works, despite perhaps a touch too much reliance on autotune, which makes the emotions harder to feel for this listener. ”

    KEIFERGR33N - OG [Music Video Review]

    June 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “This is a banger to put on when you are just rollin’ or hanging with you buddies. A simple hard beat, and a straight-forward lyrics givers this track legs as an anthem among friends who want to prove their worth by trying and keep up with the flow.”

      Ramz - DON’T YOU PLAY WITH ME FT. LD [Music Video Review]

      June 24, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “ If you want a taste of a different country and culture than Ramz delivers that. “Don’t You Play With Me” visual shows a fun yet serious side of the artist with a beat that will leave you grooving the whole time. ”

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Still June is on some other shxt and it is full of energy in his new single “All Me” He lyrically flows and the beat elevates that. When listening you can imagine him going in the booth the beat dropping and he just spitting. ”
        — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

        Stilljune drops his highly anticipated new project "Live III LOFD". The project features 14 tracks and mixes industry covers with new songs.

            “‘Came Thru Stuntin’ brings several different sounds straight for Detroit.

            From smooth soul, to a steady flow the songwriting beats with realness and B Free delivers it all with a authenticity and a properly subdued delivery.”

              “Bravado laden flows all-too-often ring untrue and there is a thin line bullshit and bluster. Julian Write stayed on the correct side with ‘How It Feels’ by making me believe every word spit from his mouth.

                  Trebor - Drunk [Review]

                  June 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

                  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.”

                    “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. ”

                        “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.”

                                “Played song once, then ran it back one more time.

                                Morriscode has a new way to get the bag and if you want to know what it is then press play. ”

                                  “ Tell us what is the 10th picture in your camera roll. TgiFLY has us looking in our phone to see if we have more nude or phone pics in our phone in his new single “Camera Roll” He delivers well written lyrics over a nice upbeat flow.”

                                    Azjah - "Princess Diaries" [Album Review]

                                    May 17, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Album, Music, Rap
                                    “Dear Diary,

                                    To be a princess is every girls dream. To be the princess of Compton is far from a dream but a reality for artist Azjah. With a strong force and team behind her Azjah drops her debut album “Princess Diaries”. The 12 track album includes two familiar tracks “Spotlight” and “Time for it” but also gives you insight of her daily life and experience so instead of reading her diary just take a listen. ”
