Adam Dollar$ and Alexis Danielle - Weekends [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A nice blend of vocal styles and voices. A love song delivered with a nice Contemporary Pop groove from Alexis Danielle, and an emotional Rap flow dropped from Adam Dollar$. ”
Dewey Da Don x Rich The Factor - 50 Keys Large [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Genuine attitude carries the load on this track. Both vocal flows bring a truth and a vibe that is often attempted, but rarely achieved as well as they are on this track. ”
Guyku - Easy [Review]
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.”
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. ”
Troy Junker - In The Jungle [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Dropping a flow that hits as hard as the beat, Troy Junker delivers these well-written and poignant lyrics with an attitude and cockiness that brings out the meaning quite well. ”
Giovanni Tha King - Fallin' [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Giovanni Tha King has dropped a single that is tough to categorize, but sometimes that is the beauty of flat out good music. It blends and blurs lines, and that is the case with ‘Fallin’ which has a Rap beat behind it and a similar cadence in spots, but the vocals utilize Autotune to give the track some Pop sensibilities as well.
At the heart of this track is the emotional and genuine delivery which drew me in as a listener.”
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.”
Satomaa - Bounce Back [Music Video Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Creative and colorful with a Missy Elliot appeal, Satomma tell us how she can be down and ‘Bounce Back’ with her unique yet lyrical verses.”
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.”
Torrentiiial x Lazy Luciano - Lately iii [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The monotone vibe to this track worked well with the lyrics. And the vocal shift a couple minutes in brought in a soulful groove that kept me on the hook.
Well-written and engaging, ‘Lately iii’ pulled me in and held me there. ”
Jay Gudda - JOHNNY [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The unflinching, old school flow to this track works because Jay Gudda makes it work. I not only believe the conviction in every word, but also appreciate the fact he pulled zero punches on regard to himself, or in striking others.
The simple video works well with what is laid down.”
The Wavy Kid - Get Away [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Riding a crest of smooth confidence, The Wavy Kid drops ‘Get Away’ which feels cool and comforting.
This track isn’t exactly breaking new ground, but it covers all the basis for an upbeat and entertaining listen. ”
Macharo - D D M [EP Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“We started off with a mini intro audio movie, which led us to the praises of ‘Amen’. Through the changes of dark and light ‘Vitiligo’; Macharo’ s project ‘DDM’ delivers a different sound with guest features from Stophe Malone and Young Homage ON ‘Usian Bolt’. For most who need no explanation for ‘Hoodie Season’ when you live a ‘Life Like’ this with money over everything except your kids. When the kids go play it leaves time to ‘Celebrate’ success and no more struggles.”
Aries - I Can Fuck With That [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“A song that will make you both smile and think. The flow varies and is engaging through the multiple delivery styles.
Pure entertainment start to finish. ”
Mykel Hawk - Elephant [Review]
Ratings: 4.5 out of 5
“The beat hits first and sets up the ridiculous flow that follows. Lyrically this one stomps across the yard like a thousand pound’Elephant.’ Attitude and righteous confidence are the trumpets that mark this sound. ”
Yalee - Momma Sorrows [Music Video Review]
Rating: 5 out of 5
“This tracks lands right on the feels for anyone with a Momma ... which means it should speak to every last person.
Delivering truth, while putting humanity into the senseless, the vocal flow is pure and real. The backing, sang by Yalee’s own mother, is emotional and heartrending.”
Hanlei x LEXA x DMENIS - Fade [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Maintaining a grind is not easy when you get inside your head and allow the negative thoughts to seep in, but overcoming the feelings that hit us all is important. This track is the soundtrack for such perseverance. Delivered with multiple voices in a variety of flows the track is as entertaining as it is uplifting.”
Nakfa - Sera [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Dropping a smooth and classic sound, Nakfa bends genres with this Hip-Hop old school 90s R&B vibe.
’Sera’ is a track that took me a bit to connect to lyrically, but from the start I felt the groove behind this single.”
Rudeboy Tha Shottah - Can I Breath [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Lyrical truth is a powerful thing and this track rings true not only in content, but also in the delivery.
Rudeboy Tha Shottah makes me feel his emotions with an honest straightforward delivery that is the musical equivalent of unflinchingly staring someone in the eye while they speak from the heart. ”
