Darci - Lights [Review]

November 19, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Contemporary R&B, Rap

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Can a track be both low key smooth and hype at the same time? If so, ‘Lights,’ the newest offering from Darci might pull of the trick.

Coming with a tranquil calm vibe, this flow is delivered with an almost detached allure, though lyrically the track is about the potential of the night and the excitement it just might bring about.”

    .wavrunner - uh huh, i like it [Review]

    November 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Rap

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Who is ready for some energetic Disco infused Club music? ‘Uh Huh, I like It’ from .wavrunner brings a Rap flow, but feels more like a mash of 70s Disco funk and West Coast Club music than anything else. The groove is magical and the spirit a vibe all of its own. Get on board and get moving with this track.”

      Evan from Heaven - The Way It Is (ft. ill civilian) [Review]

      November 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Sometimes a track just works with a simplistic, heartfelt delivery. ‘The Way It Is’ landed for me in such a way.

      Evan from Heaven delivers the track with a stripped down, no frills flow that works in a genuine and honest way. The production behind the track stays out of the way, while still managing to add a bit of emotion to the groove. I did find myself wishing the track were a little longer and took the lyrics just a bit further.”

        WoBandz - SouthBeach [Review]

        November 18, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “I was skeptical at first from the first few seconds. However, once the song took off I started rocking with it hard. WoBandz ‘s new single ‘SouthBeach’ is about moving how you want to move and living life to the fullest. The beat is defiantly a banger you can’t take your ears away from. i even had to run it back one more time. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Kit DH drops a bit of funk flavor with this Rap track that fuses a fast flow, with a nice groove and beat that keeps you leaning in. Adding some bounce on the back end ‘Ten’ holds your focus as those hard hitting lines sink in and take root. Count ‘em up! ”

            “What do you get when New York and Pennsylvania hit the studio together?

            Infectious lyrics and a beat that prepares you for a hit ‘4RealTho’. Day Lee’s new single is full of energy from a vintage perspective. With PnB Rock vocals accompanying the sound the two are seen hitting the streets and jamming to the beat.”

              GoodLook - Rich Dance [Music Video Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Bringing the old school beats and bars vibe, GoodLook drops ‘Rich Dance’ on us. With a hearty dose of confident swagger, the track is about flashing them racks in the face of the world with no damn regard for what anyone else thinks. THe beat and rhythm keep the flow bouncing on this track, that doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but for damn sure puts a little flair on your next spin.”

The young 16-year-old artist is bringing an unexpected sound to the music game. In his new visual he is seen sitting at a desk with nothing but money as he tells the story of his life but reminds everyone its still about the money and success. He is going to keep on thuggin til his ‘Due Date’. ”

                    Carefree and energetic are the two words that come to mind here so kick back and listen to feel the warm sun no matter where you happen to be.”

                        “Who is Ricky Bobby? A Nascar character from the movie Talladega Nights.

                        When you hear Nascar and nights you think fast and exciting right? Well that is exactly what Othenic and Spencer Schmitt gives in their new single Ricky Bobby. Radio friendly, Tik-Tok approved, and mixed and mastered out of his bedroom; this song has a beat that keeps you going. Every flow is dope like the 80s but the two also come on strong allowing their energy to be consistent.”

                          “This track utilizes the beat and production behind it as well as any music out there. The writing comes with a solid hook, and the vibe is made all the stronger for the way it is unfurled around the beat rather than on top if it. The flow is engaging and the lyrics wryly sharp, making this a track you can easily connect to, and fall in step with. ”

                            “Packing a lyrical punch that delivers power and truths of the world we live in, Covaboy’s track, ‘Second Wind’ is the kind of song that sticks with you long after the last note.

                            Coming with an old school 90’s Rap vibe, the beat and flow are direct and unflinching. The haunting vocal sample frames the piece well and really adds an emotional layer to the track.”

Don’t be fooled by the ‘Oops’ and mocking tone of his latest track, he ain’t playin’ play. This is aa fun lively track full of wry humor and swag in pure Yung Gravy style. Get on board and have some fun by checking out Yung Gravy’s entire new album, Gasanova, which is out now.”

                                Dex Channels - Last Sunday [Review]

                                “Vulnerable honest is not a vibe that makes its way into the Hip-Hop world as oftena s it should, but at times you find that one track that simply lays it out in such an engaging way you can’t help but fall in. Such is the case with ‘LAst Sunday’ from Dex Channels.

                                Dex Channels, formerly known as Backstreet Peejay, is a based out of Orlando, FL. After a car wreck left his neck fractured, Channels had a change of heart which resulted in the artist’s rebirth and rebranding. The accident changed the whole pitch of his voice and this left Channels uncomfortable with his new sound for a little while making him adapt to new creative pockets. Hence, he gravitated towards a more limitless identity and sound. He’s a boundless artist who’s brand pushes the listener to be their original self.”

                                  “This high-energy hype track feels like the perfect add to your workout playlist. On ‘Turn The Light On,’ Mighty infuses a catchy hook and a nice rising progression to give us this track which feels like something between an infectious dance floor mix and a big bold sports anthem ready for the arena.”

                                    “BurrLin’s new single ‘2-Step’ comes in strong with a suspenseful stomp intro and shows us the sound of a multi-talented man. With a flow like legendary artists Nas and Nipsey, BurrLin is 2-Stepping through the streets of Cali; musically laying out a map of why the West Coast is the best coast.”

                                      “Coming at you with a retro vibe, J.R. Clark conjures thoughts of Jay Z and that classic age of Hip-Hop with a smooth unflinching flow.

                                      ’AMG Benz’ also features a soulful R&B groove from Breana Marin and overall is smooth and glassy like a laid back cruise down the boulevard. ”

                                        “There is no gamble to adding this track to you playlist. ‘PokerTable’ is a fiery track from Itz Jaleel that comes with a siren-like beat and a steady flow that drops the lines you can’t escape from.

                                        My favorite portions of the track where when the production dropped away and left the flow to land hard and heavy.”
