“Dax defines his emotions in his lyrics. His latest single and visual “Searching For A Reason” is about balancing life and also understanding everything that comes with it. We often can’t tell the real from the fake but knows life has a reason even when it feels like we are going down a rabbit hole. ”
“A sports anthem that would feel right at home in a videogame soundtrack or in any arena or stadium. From the court tot he field, Wes Linden delivers a hard hitting flow that establishes a hook and rhythm right from the start. Lyrically the track has enough to hold you, but really it is the hook and vibe that carries the track alongside the vocal talent.”
“This hard-hitting track takes a look at what it feels like to be stuck in the heavy mud of addiction. Personal responsibility is one thing, but the systemic problem created by a capitalistic society is the culprit in the cross hairs here of this flow which blends Rap and an Alternative Rock style to deliver the message. This is a song that has the power to make people stop and think about this problem and the people fighting to stay above ground.”
“It’s that time of year again where friends gather poolside, or at the beach, or maybe on the shores of a lake. Wherever there is water and good times the Summer sun beckons those looking to hang out and find a sexy partner to sidle up with as the day close to an end with a glowing sunset.
Luni rides that line well setting the mood with ‘Summer Time Fine,’ a track perfect for singing along with and finding your personal brand of warmth.”
“A smooth R&B/Rap blend for the warm summer days and those sexy poolside parties. Ice Meez and Trill Lee team on this track to deliver a soulful groove that hits as hard lyrically as it slides easily through the ears melodically.
Get out there with a drink in your hand a the sun on your face and ‘Swim,’ but don’t spill that beverage when your gliding to the groove.”
“Dre come sin with passion and grit and the beat production adds to the vibe with perfection. There is a bit of old school intensity tot he flow though the construction and vibe is pure contemporary. ‘B-Sides’ is a free flowing track with nuance and confidence pushing the vocals. Lyrically it is the kind of track that keeps giving with each listen so add it to your playlists and dig in truly feeling the talented writing and performance. . ”
“I like the true and rawness of the song. EBF 2X takes us to his comfort area in his new single X Angel. He walks us down his lyrical path of life and dealing with people. The experience of stress and finding out about his grandma’s death through a letter. The hook is strong, the track is emotional, and will have you really feeling it.”
“Rowlan starts the track off with an R&B type groove, before unleashing a heartfelt Rap flow and hook to pull the listener in emotionally. The combination of styles and grooves plays a huge role in upholding the intrigue, but overall it is the honest and genuine emotions in conjunction with the talented performance that carries the day. Not an easy one to compare, but there are influences of Drake, Kendrick and Jack Harlow to name a few.”
LA Artist Liddy Mechelle is bringing energy and direct lyrics in her latest single “Let Me Fix My Crown”. Liddy lets it be known that she is very head strong, independent, and direct. She demands respect and wants someone to be true with their intentions instead of on some fxck shxt. Whether she is in an official relationship or not, she rather know her position so she will know what role to play. If anyone tries to step to her you are better off being honest and keeping it one hundred with her as she adjusts her crown to any “bs” that comes her way.
“Ian J in Ya Mouth drops this freestyle vibe and delivers it with a pure shit talking inspired flow full of bombs and witty observations. The track has a light hearted vibe, but still packs a punch when called for.
Sharp writing, timely delivery, and confident attitude are the earmarks of this track which is simply a fun listen. Like talking trash with your friends, this one simply feels like a good time.”
“Keep rising symbolizes and reflects on the struggles for artists coming up in the LA rap scene. Rob Law and Yelohill come from different hoods and different backgrounds, but the pain is the same. The sound of this song is like if Tupac and Nispey Hussle came together on a track. Uniting LA as one.
The track brings heart and genuine emotion which keep the listener leaning in and anticipating the next line. The two flows offer a different style but the juxtapostion of that is what makes the track pop. ”
“Let’s take a moment and have a session with Artist The Last MJ as he schools the ladies in his latest single “Dr.Feel.” He takes a moment to explain feelings and how to recognize whether or not someone is in to you or playing games like soccer. The delivery of the song is in a creative Tv talk show tone and segment.
When listening to this track I suggest you take notes and fellas be careful not to give out mix signals.”
“You ever wondered what a lonely soul feels like? 16- year old artist Lucid Kidd from Lithuania expresses that feeling in his new single G N T. The track has a smooth laidback beat about wanting to be in your own world and flying away. ”
“There are so many different levels to life. Some may feel like life is like a game that you need to know how to play. South Central LA Artist Rich Trapper latest EP “Game 6” which is led by the single also titled “Game 6” is about facing those levels. Whether it’s simple things like going outside or realizing no matter how dangerous life can get you must keep going.
His motivation to become an elite player in this game called life isn’t just about winning but surviving. Considering he became a father at 12 years old he knew he had to always make it to see another day in the Crenshaw district.”
“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 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 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. ”
“Ca$h Cam brings a different style with his versatility and energy. If you see a bag on the floor you going to pick it up, right? There is no time to not get to the money and enjoy life. With features from a few friends this new single is sure to have you ready to enjoy life.”
“I dig the vocal tone and the production especially since this is his first release on all platforms. In a relax neighborhood setting Mati tells the story of life and its experiences. Sometimes we make decisions that don’t always make sense. We have to realize its ok to go “Back To The Basics” in order to make it your way.”
“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.”
