Alias Molombo x Blahzay Blahzay - Let's Get It [Review]

September 10, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Straight up old school style — with fresh and contemporary lyrics to bring the past forward to knock on today’s door. The flow comes with attitude and confidence and the beat infuses hype and energy the way too few tracks do these days. If you’ve been missing that scratch and boom bap beat, then this is the single you’ve been waiting for. Get it and get in on this track. ”

    Cuttaman 100Gran - Rich Porter [Review]

    September 09, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Rap

    Review: 3.5 out of 5

    “Cuttaman 100Gram reminds me of Kevin Gates with his deep and direct vocals that you just can’t stop listening to. His new single “Rich Porter” references his hustle to the late harlemite Rich Porter.

    Cuttaman speaks on how hard the grind is and everyone wants you but he also keeps a girl next to him with no issue.”

      Jboi YBP - Out tha Mud (feat. Jazze Pha) [Music Video Review]

      September 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The intro to the video really hooked me in, and set of the mood for the flow of this track. The beat production and groove are easy to fall in on and the lyrical flow resonates for anyone that has ever had a hard slog to try and get ‘Out Tha Mud,’ so to speak. The tone of the flow works well with the autotune and production dynamics keeping the listener leaning in and on the hook. ”

        IAMJYOUNGIN - Choppa [Music Video Review]

        September 08, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Rap

        Rating: 5 out of 5

        “Choppa” is cutting sound with this hard beat and a strong dominant lyrical delivery. IAMJYOUNGIN new single “Choppa” is about being ready when your enemies come for you. Visually shot in a theatrical house location the video manages to give a stereotypical location symbolism. ”

          DJ Zenas x Ramond - The Spot [Review]

          September 03, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Labor Day brings both party vibes, and a subtle brand of sadness as you realize summer is coming to an end. This track from DJ Zenas captures both of those vibes.

          ’The Spot’ comes with a groove and rhythm that feels like sipping a cold drink beside a warm pool, but the party is coming to an end and with that limited time this single feels like a Sunday afternoon as another long weeks looms ahead.

          The dynamics here gives you all the feels.”

              DxBoY - Lit Again [Review]

              August 26, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop, Commercial

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “DxBoy makes the most of this Trap beat and flow. ‘Lit Again’ is an ode to escaping lockdown and getting out there in the world alongside people and finding your vibe. The track comes with an easy beat to fall in on the groove and the lyrical flow hooks and holds the listener as well. Short but no so short that the flow doesn’t grab you and make its point. ”

                Lasko - Down [Review]

                August 25, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Some tracks are all about the groove and vibe. ‘Down’ is one of those songs that instantly hits you with a mood and rhythm that pulls you easily along.

                Lasko brings an attitude that feels almost a smirk behind his flow. This leaves the listenr with a feeling not unlike a conversation with a friend giving the flow that ‘it’ factor that is hard to manufacture because it is either there, or it’s not. Lasko has it for sure. Add this fun summer track to your playlists and enjoy the good times.”

                  Club Noir - Reload [Review]

                  August 23, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Club Noir is locked and loaded with there new track, ‘Reload.’ The flow is expressive and rhythmic, carrying the listener along for the ride, but it is the strength of the writing and the multifaceted meaning of the words that truly is what elevates this track for me.

                  Taking a simplistic approach to the lyrics, the track could be about reloading to fire more, but it also can be taken more metaphorically to be about gathering yourself up for another run. The no quit mentality makes this a motivational track of a sort and one that needs to be on such playlists.”

                    “Lil Bean is joined by Jackboy on this smooth build and flow. ‘Mob Ties’ delivers an easy groove to ride with its strong writing and emotive flow. The combination hooks and holds the listener and keeps you leaning in on both the lyrical progression and beat.

                    The Bay Area rapper has a new album that is already gaining national attention so jump on board with this talented artist and be one of the first to buy in and recognize this rising talent.”

                      “This track from Too Many T’s hits like a British Beastie Boys. That old school construction and beat felt nostalgic, without coming across as dated and the verve behind the flows flashes both confidence and talent.

                      This is simply a track that will get you moving and bouncing along as you fall in line with the build. The video is just as fun on this party anthem that truly is ... ‘So Nice.’”

                        “J. Epps reps H-town on this track and if you’ve spent anytime in or around Texas’s biggest city, you will definitely dig on this lyrical flow. This track comes with a no frills flow and beat that is brought to life by Epps’ passion and talent. In other words this one track simply hits with the truth and a genuine realness that is often attempted but rarely created. If you want a bunch of shiny bells and whistles in your production this might not be the single for you, but if you can get down to the bare truth and a genuine flow — then this is one of the realest singles you will find.”

                            “Most of the time I need a track to shine right out the gate to find my connection. ‘WORK’ was a bit slower building for me, so while I remianed optimistic early on, it wasn’t until the :45 second mark or so that the passion of this flow truly hooked me in.

                            Once you digest the lyrics, this build makes perfect sense, but this one did take a bit for me to find my connection. Give it a listen and no doubt it will do the same for you. ”

                              “Once the flow drops in — this track is a solid banger. The intro is intriguing as well, but it is her flow that truly brings the this one to life.

                              Full of attitude, and that Southern Rap vibe that is often attempted, but rarely landed this single simply pops. Hard bars and a thumping cadence allow the punches to land with force. Don’t sleep on this one — this is a talented artist with plenty to say. ”

                                “Every line of this track drips with emotion. The greatest fear of every parent is a health battle for their children, and while this song is directly about that event, there are things to digest here about humanity and the emotions we face even if if you have never stood in those shoes.

                                This song is sad and yet hopeful at the same time because of this father’s passionate flow. This truly is a track to fell deep down in your gut.”

                                  “Peachcurls establishes a mood here with his laidback delivery in stream of conscious kind of flow. The West Coast vibes are are strong on the track, and this is the perfect song for slow rolling under the sun as you glide by rows of palm trees. The writing is stellar and comes with a brazen take on the world that endears the listener to the artist, and makes you nod in agreement as you dig in on this chill flow. ”

                                    “We all like to get paid and when we do we do the “Money Dance”. B.A. Talks and Mona Mula deliver an upbeat single that will have you dancing and throwing money. Visually at a party with friends they all are celebrating the benefit of getting paid and celebrating their achievements. “Money Dance” is also the first single off of B.A.’s upcoming EP.”

                                      “Pop the cork on this track and you will be sipping on the tasty sounds of Yayvo. ‘Champagne’ offers a bit of sweet bubbly for the soul with its smooth groove and easy flow.

                                      The hook is easy to dial in and song along with and the verses offer enough to connect it all and keep you savoring the sound long after the bottle is first opened. So raise your glass as you add this track to you playlists and expect others to toast your fine ear for being one of the first to discover great new music. ”

                                        “Cloud 9ine KO delivers confidence, wry humor, and a sweet little groove on ‘I Can Tell.’ There is a hint of old school Snoop to the delivery, though the tones differ for sure and the beat has just a tinge of R&B giving the smooth build a mellow vibe despite the pointed lyrical build. The combination works well, giving the listener the chance to make this track anything they want or need it to be.

                                        The talent behind this one shows in subtle ways that lifts it above the crowded fray. ”
