K PRICE - TRUË RELIGION [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Inspired by tequila, weed and a good melody, brand new track, “TRUË RELIGION,” is one to play when you need some good energy. K Price drops a steady flow with just enough production behind it to set it off and establish an easy groove to ride with.

The track offers a vibe that you can fall in and let carry you away from the everyday. No need to reinvent the process when you have talent and can drop in engaging writing and a dope beat. ”

Rgm Bugsy - Rgm the Mobb [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Rgm Bugsy is a back and forth flow with an intriguing up and down rhythm and give and take vibe to the lyrical punches. The groove hooks, and the writing is sharp and lands thanks to a steady, but well-timed cadence. There is a good bit going on and it might take a few listens, but the track is interesting from the first go and only improves with familiarity.”

Dax - Dear Alcohol [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Dax is no stranger to visitors here at LA on Lock, and as long as he keeps putting out passionate music we will continue to share this videos and be fans. ‘Dear Alcohol’ is a slower tempo track with less anger and a more reflective emotional nature than many of Dax’s hard hitting singles, but that is not to say this song does land with its own force.

We all need to stop and take time to reflect on where we are emotionally at times, and this track is about that and the realization we often use alcohol or other things to hide from what’s really plaguing our minds. ”

Rating: 5 out of 5

“I found myself truly rocking with this one. Staircase Wit is a pop punk song that musically tells a story. As you walk through the day and the emotions you find yourself rocking with the band. I found myself dancing as well as picturing a visual. “My Heart Is Six Feet Under But My Head Is Up In The Clouds” is about being in love but experiencing hurt as well.”

Big Boss Vette - Heavy [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out 5

“There’s nothing like a little motivation to get you started. Big boss Vette comes in real “Heavy” in her new track “Heavy”. I am not a rapper but I found myself acting like I was in the booth with her on this track. She is direct and serious but most importantly confident. She speaks on being at her lowest and having no one but herself, hahah. ”

Kade Fresco - Left Out [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Kade Fresco drop this low key, yet meaningful flow and it hits with precision. Riding a lyrical build that most, if not all, of us can relate to, Fresco lets the melodic groove work alongside the lyrics to convey emotion and meaning.

The track is all about mood and perspective making it one to listen to over and over again so you can pick up on all the lyrical nuance.”

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“ Focus! It can be hard to do with so many distractions but Waqqas has his goals in orders and makes it clear in his latest single “Made For” feat Regi Levi. The song is about getting money but it’s also about having a plan and knowing what direction you are going in with life. ”

OG Bobby Billions - Holy Goat Live [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“ I didn’t know what to expect with this one. However, OG Bobby Billions did deliver. With a soulful chorus and a Jazz melody he turns a rap song into a melody. The song Holy Goat Live is about going through ghetto emotions which are true emotions and hardships. He switches up right in the middle so you can feel the ghetto pain in your soul as if you was in church. This track is far from just another rap song it is true “Ghetto Gospel.”

Felly The Voice - Crazy Girls [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Felly The Voice is crazy in love for “Crazy Girls”. His new single is about his girl nagging and being all in his business. However, instead of ignoring her he loves her more. Where ever he is in the video she is right around the corner in his face but he wouldn’t trade her for nothing. He is whipped just as much as she is. The song can sound a bit funny but it makes sense”

Ice Meez - Mogul [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Repping Nor Cal, Ice Meez delivers his flow over an upbeat tempo that hooks and holds the listener. ‘Mogul’ is about taking the talent you possess, and the drive pushing you and using both to propel yourself beyond what is expected from the merely talented to legendary.

The flow brings energy and verve and the beat is one that will keep your head bobbing and your body moving. A no frills, no nonsense track that hits home with precision.”

Rating: 4 out of 5

“MiQ The Burb Boy comes in with clear purpose and deliberate, slower flow that burns with steady passion before the arrangement takes a harder edge and builds into a fiery and emotional take. The earnest performance and strong writing make for an engaging track.

Frank D - Mad [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Frank D taps into so much on this track. There is a bit of old school to the flow and delivery, but not so much the track truly feels retro. What it does feel is ... real.

’Mad’ is a track we can all relate to. The world has a way of beating us down and sometimes we have an exact reason for being mad while other we simply wake up that way from the pressure of the world we live in. This flow makes you feel like you are not alone in these struggles and that is what the best music does no matter the emotion being explored.”
