“Coming with a flow that is backdropped by a soulful groove, Rxtherapper drops ‘I Know.’ The track has an easy rhythm and flow to it, that just sort of wraps around you and pulls you along. The tone and vibe combine to sweep you up and in and the video adds enough to the package to hold your visual interest as well.
This single hits like a conversation with a good friend. ”
“Datta Boy’s new visual plays homage to the movie ‘Friday’. What is the last known visual of the late ‘Tiny Zeus’. ‘Pull Up’ is an example of no talk all actions. Seen throughout the neighbors of LA this West Coast track has interaction and a hard beat because “Real N*****s Don’t Talk They Just Pull Up””
“This song is smooth Hip-Hop. Starting with a vibrant beat Akari’s new single Front X Back is truly something to rock in the car. As he is seen hanging out throughout the city his flow is conscious meets poetic justice.”
“Nipsey has been gone a while now, but he’s certainly not forgotten, and this track conveys the emotions and passion of his fans quite well.
The flow is low key, but the earnest feelings come through loud and clear and you can feel the grief, disillusionment, and anger in every word.”
“Kick it back to 1990 something with this throwback to a Hip-Hop sound that you don’t get much of these days.
Lyrically, the track offers fresh contemporary lines that hit hard at times and offer up wry humor at others. Balt Getty and Chino Xl play off each other and the track packs in a lot in two short minutes. I did find myself wishing the track lasted a bit longer.”
“It’s been a long hard year, and for many we had to find our calm where we could. ‘Atshitshi’ starts as Hip-Hop track that falls into a nice soulful R&B groove and there in the smoke of this Cannabis ballad is a tranquil vibe and flow that unfurls like a nice high.
Add this one to your 420 playlist for those times you want to fire up and chill.”
“It. A simple word that often means nothing, but when it comes to entertainment, having ‘It’ means everything.
Poetik has it.
The IT factor that captivates sand holds you. ‘FAME’ is a track about the contradictions of remaining true to who you are in the face of rising stardom and thanks to Poetik’s calm verve, this single simply works.”
“If you crave honest emotion from your music, Michael Malcom has you covered with ‘Without You.’
Teaming up with his bestfriend, Leems, this Canadian pairing offers a nice tranquil Pop song that is long on simply honesty and the genuineness is what makes the track captivating.”
“The truth delivered here in these lines ... Everybody dies, ‘Not Everybody Lives’ ... is a sentiment we have heard before, but K.M. drops this hook amid a lyrical build that feels both passionate and earnest. The flow is steady and deliberate, yet still conveys a heartfelt belief that makes every word land with conviction. It is this, that allows the track to break through and land in a meaningful way.”
“Naya Ali is taking flight with her latest track, ‘Air Ali.’ The track is about taking off for bigger and better experiences and places, but not at the sacrifice of everything that makes you who you are. Ali utilizes a bit of Trap vibe to her flow at times, and falls into a steadier delivery in others, but throughout her unique tone and talent captivates and demands attention. The beat and production are easy to stick with as well.”
“Icon South teams up with fellow Texas artists Neko Savvy & Lil Twist to lay it down on this crazy Zetra & Sham beat.
The beat and progression make it easy to put a little bounce into your sway as you let this track settle down on your shoulders. The unique vocal tones mesh well and leave the track standing out in a time when a lot of tracks sounds exactly the same.”
“The unique tone caught me first, and the strong writing kept me leaning in. Both flows deliver a nice bit of passion and emotion and the beat production feels right for the track — hitting hard at times, but staying out of the way where need be.
’What is Hell Like?’ ... well I can tell you Hell is not listening to good music and talented artists like this, so the question will have to be answered another day for me.”
“We have all got swept up in a moment of passion and spoken in haste, words we don’t truly mean. FRKLZ faces that in the track, ‘I Lied’ which deals with the aftermath of delivering those words you so desperately want to take back.
The single has a commercial Pop/ Rap feel that works well to deliver the mental anguish of the situation though at times the autotune felt heavy for me.”
“This is a track that shakes up the norms. Coming almost with a medley like vibe of shifting styles and delivery tones, Suspect Ed is tough to classify in any one genre. There is a definite Hip-Hop flow that works well, but the track also offers a nice 80’s style vocal hook that feels nostalgic, while also managing to come across as a modern Pop arrangement. Through multiple listens, I remained on the hook for this ‘First Class’ trip. ”
“There are no shortage of tracks calling out haters and naysayers, but FCG Heem gives us a little something different with the laid back easy going vibe of his track, ‘Haha.’ Lyrically the flow is easy to follow and and settle in on and overall the vibe is light and airy coming with an almost island like vibe at times.”
“Sometimes you just need to sway and move. Ja3 Harris, Yung Ice, and Tay Grizzy give you the chance to do just last with their steady flows delivered over a tranquil bounce groove and beat that sits with you start to finish.
Lyrically the hook is relied heavily on to carry the momentum though it still works well because of the production and delivery. The video offers no real surprises but is good for a few smiles.”
“Brit Fox has been described as the female Rick Rubin, but truth be told, Fox’s talents stand on their own and need no comparison. Joined here by 10 Bagz, Fox deliver the sultry attitude and energy with a brand new single , ‘Lasso.’
This is a banger that works for the club or rolling down the boulevard. Coming with energy and a hint of bounce, this track will indeed wrap around you like a placed lasso.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
