Xander P - Friend Zone? [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A fun song that spins around the entire friend zone concept around. The tracks has a talented vocal flow, with some subtle but nice variation, over a steady beat that blends nicely.”
KOCH x Jet Lee Houdini - Prayers [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The verses spoke to me here more than the chorus, but overall this is a solid track that brings some emotion and a nice tone to the flows.
Lyrically the track has something meaningful to say and the message stuck to me through several listens. ”
Dopenorteria x J. Nolan - New Vision [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A track that builds in both energy and lyrical context until you are totally immersed and hooked. Then it offers a surprisingly chill exit to complete the ride.”
Valentino Fame (vltn) X Heemi - Commonwealth Connection [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“This track won me over lyrically. The intro kicks it off, but once the flow drops this one truly comes alive with an emotion laden delivery of truth and passion from both voices. ”
L. Keys - Slidin [Music Video Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Looking for a fun banger to roll with?
’Slidin’ fills the bill with a set of lyrics you can be spitting out as you cruise, and a nice beat you get bouncing along to as you do. ”
Samad Savage x Felisha George x Euphony - 75000 [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A talented and topical flow highlighting a problem that is just now starting to gain the attention it calls for.
The fact there are so missing black women in this country is appalling and kudos to this track for shedding light on this sickening issue. ”
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.”
