Mike Xavier - Look At You Now [Review]

October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

Rating: 4 out of 5

“That thin line between love and hate is often big and bold after a breakup. This flow takes gloating to a new level post breakup. An anthem for those flourishing when their exes flounder. The horns in the melody add to the flavor of winning and the vocals capture the emotion of prideful disdain.”

    Stilljune - Feel It [Music Video Review]

    October 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Spot on writing delivered with a direct and honest flow.

    The song builds via emotional attachment. Like listening to a good friend speak their mind about hopes, dreams and even frustrations.”

      “This track hits you like The Beastie Boys on acid.

      This is an in your face protest song with something to say! Not for the faint of heart, but a track that does not flinch.”

        Fortune Music x Genesis Renji - SUGAR COAT [Review]

        October 21, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Melodic beats and a catchy hook accompany this flow giving Fortune Music and Genesis Renji a sweet little single called ‘Sugar Coat.’

        This is an easy groove to settle into. ”

          Donn Chii - Chocolate Lemonade [Review]

          October 18, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “A clever metaphor that works great with this delivery — which is almost irreverent and taunting.

          Chocolate and Lemonade are fine individually, but nasty when mixed together and the same can be said about the relationship in question in this track. A fun song that still brings some universal truths.”

            EMS - Rapscallions [Music Video Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “EMS brings some international flavor with this video and hard-hitting set of lyrics.

            ’Rapscallions’ takes that Beastie vibe, and builds a thumping sound full of nods to the past, without sounding like a copy of anything.

            Fresh and real and solidly worth your time! ”

              “Spit it. Mean it. Don’t apologize for it. Prophet does not hold back in ‘Hurd of Who.’ Riding a steady beat and lyrics that strike — this is not a track for the faint of heart. But it is a track that speaks its mind with true talent behind it.”

                “Truth. Passion. Confidence.

                These qualities define both people and music and when you possess all three, you are bound to agitate those who either fear or envy you. This track by J4 Da Dawg is such a song. There will be haters, because there always are, but anyone that says J4 ain’t bringing it today with, ‘Until Tomorrow’ is flat-out fooling themselves. ”

                                  “Loyalty is a tough thing to find in this world. This single honors loyalty, by dropping a steady beat and sing-song flow that serves as an anthem of trust and confidence. Both hard-earned by surviving tough times with, and because, of those you proudly stand alongside.”

                                        Entertaining and truthful, the story of this song is one we can all get behind.”
