Xersize - End of Days [Music Review]

November 13, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“When you think Rap you probably don’t think Sweden but Swedish artists Xersize is here to change that. Dropping a rapid fire flow reminiscent of Eminem at times, ‘End of Days’ is a passion-fueled rant about being overlooked and dismissed in a crowded field of artists. It is about having the confidence to stand up and shout look at me because I have something worthwhile to say. ”

    Whethan - Fall Out Girl [Music Review]

    September 30, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Rap

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A collaboration between 23-year-old electronic DJ and producer, Whethan and Florida-based rapper, Zai1k, “Fall Out Girl,” is a high-energy, feel-good track that comes alive right from the start.

    ’Zai and I linked up in Miami and made a bunch of cool ideas. ‘Fall Out Girl’ was inspired by the Miami lifestyle and is a perfect sunny drive with the top back, a pop hit to blast til’ the neighbors knock.’ -Whethan

    The combination of artistic talents here works well and every element adds to the listener’s engagement of the track. ”

        “Numb the Pain” is an Alternative Rock track that will have you engaged musically and emotionally. The dramatic yet aggressive cadence defines wanting to run away from your pain but realizing you aren’t sure where you want to go.”

          “We have dreams, we have partners but sometimes people switch up. Frisco Harbody Sco latest single “Stay Focused” lyrically speaks about people double crossing you. The track also speaks on learning from the pain, the betrayal and not letting it mess up your over goals.”

                        “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.”

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 - Feel Like Home [Review]

                                  May 13, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

                                  “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.”

                                    #LAOnLockExclusive: Liddy Mechelle - Let Me Fix My Crown [Single]

                                    May 13, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap

                                    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 - Lipton Freestyle [Music Video Review]

                                      “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.”

                                        Rob Law x Yelohill - Keep Rising [Music Video Review]

                                        “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. ”
