 Since 2013, Smoove Gotti has been sharpening his sword. Locked in the lab, with beat after beat swirling around him, the Ohio rapper has been in a chrysalis of musical development. Now, he is finally ready to emerge. “Faded”, “Hell Yeah” (feat. Oh), and “Shattered Star” (feat. Corey Jones), are a few outtakes from his six year sessions; all culminating into a blitzkrieg release for 2019. They each, in their own climatic way, highlight the growth of this Cleveland emcee; and his readiness to dominate the new year with an onfall of genre-bending sounds. “Faded” is a sample-heavy tribute to everyone’s favorite herb; channeling a smooth, softly drummed production under a blunt roll of rhymes. “Hell Yeah” pursues a rap-heavy, Dubstep aesthetic that would float perfectly about a local rave or nightclub; and “Shattered Star” is a sensual dive into airy R&B. Smoove Gotti lays verses full of romantic bars, whilst Corey Jones slips in harmonically to bridge the gaps. There is a variety in this trio of records that explicitly highlights Gotti’s sonic evolution. He forwards a new energy and ambiance with each of these records released; determined not to be pigeonholed in one genre or another. He is always searching for a way to push the envelope, and “Faded”, “Hell Yeah”, and “Shattered Star”, are astonishing successes in that regard. Luckily, we won’t have to wait long for the Midwestern musician’s next project. Slated for an April 1st release, is a joint album with fellow Cleveland artist, R Stonze, titled “Business As Usual”. After listening to these three tracks, you won’t want to miss what’s coming this Spring.

Chi-town looks like we have another one! Fresh out of the hot bed of the Windy City comes a new trippy sound from an eccentric artist, Kyngleaf. He bring us his new 12-track banger, "Space Vibezzz". This on-the-verge artist's project is consistent with a spacey, hard hitting production to match his out of orbit melodic style. 

Kyngleaf makes reference to space often on the project, which he says is a metaphor for his newage sound. He says, "This project was for the people to see that I’m truly one of one, I make musical art for the ears for all ages I’m targeting all age groups, and Space Vibezzz was to give everybody a vibe that makes them feel confident and deep in there personal feelings".

With the unique energy and sound that he carries, it wouldn't surprise us to hear Kyngleaf making hits with the likes of Migos, Lil Uzi Vert, or Travis Scott any day now. Enjoy the entire project on Youtube and follow Kyngleaf's growing movement today.

An airy, ethereal string progression, backed by a joyous prance of keys eases you into Chicago artist, Eddie Bars’s, unique, new single. Titled “Hot Head”, this joint is a moving, modern-trap orchestration by BeatsByQuez, which finds Eddie Bars at his most openhearted. Earthshaking, is the 808 which introduces Eddie’s passionate chorus, and drives the energy of the record through its tempest of raw emotion. Our Chitown vocalist uses this joint to chronicle his past and present mentalities. Alternating between a melodic hook and high-energy verses, Eddie Bars details how his once hot-headed persona has simmered into coals of blazing ambition. He has grown immensely; and with each crack of those hard-hitting trap snares, the rapper lets us all know how. Having now refined his mind-state, and refocused his energy on sobriety and success, Eddie Bars is more ready than he’s ever been before. To create awe-striking music, and lead the next tidal wave from the coast of Lake Michigan, into his Chicago home.

Slick and sultry is Australia’s own, JVNIOR AMOUX’s, twilight opus, “Morning”. The moment you press play, you are greeted by a warm, pitch-altered sample of R&B group, Blackstreet’s 1996 classic, “Good Lovin’” (from their second project, “Another Level). “We can do it ‘til the — morning / Good lovin’ in the evening.” the sample croons seductively, before being utterly overtaken by AMOUX’s own velvety vocalization. Wrapped in the warm embrace of milky bassline and rich groove of drums, the Sydney singer flexes his penchant for songwriting, caroling melodiously with autotuned allure. He certainly knows how to craft a record; diving into memorable bridges and runs throughout his verses. That talent reaches its zenith on this record, when the songbird enters the chorus, embellishing every second of the hook with angelic harmonization and clever interpolations of Blackstreet’s original lyrics. “Morning”, by all accounts, is a mood-setter; fit for that late night, at-home date, and its steamy morning-after. With cuts like these under his belt, JVNIOR AMOUX is peerless as Australia’s PR&B prodigy.

Flowing like the myriad Georgia rivers, is 16-year old rapper, Blessed.Savage; and his recent release, “Frequently”, is soaked in undeniable swagger. It is two-and-a-half minutes of Zaytoven-esque production (completed by milky, gospel organs and vocal chants), layered underneath the raps of a kid fully coming into his own. Because, the track is not reflective of this artist’s age. On the contrary, it is a testament that if he’s dripping over beats like this now, he’ll be making tidal waves in adulthood. His delivery and flow, over this smooth series of snares, claps and 808s, is inexhaustible. He never seems to tire; in fact, he only gains more vigor as his verses lunge onward. By the second verse, our Riverdale representative was whirling with melodic inflection; spitting throughout the song about the impact that rapping has had on his recent years. If Blessed.Savage can push through the hatred, and continue dropping joints just like this, he’ll be “Frequently” seeing dollar signs.

It was once said that stars are born and not made. It has also been said that they are born everyday, so it wouldnt surprise me if a little favor has been shown to the home of the Hollywood Stars. One listen to L.A.'s own, Hollywood Mac and you can tell he was born to be a star. Mac, who recieved his nickname in high school is dropping his debut solo single "Hundo." The L.A. emcee hops on the speaker quaking, infectious head banger effortlessly spitting bars of gold, all while keeping the club moving. 

Hollywood Mac ironically spent years running a club before stepping to the mic and exercising his natural gift. Mac is the son of two musicians(father is a drummer, mother is a singer), it was inevitable that he would one day make dope music of his own. Keep an wye out for what Hollywood Mac has in store and while you wait, play "Hundo" that many times. Enjoy “Get Away” and join Rich Lawd's growing movement today!

The feel and sound of Caribbean culture has always been a driving force in Hip Hop's evolution. Pioneer, DJ Kool Herc is of Jamaican descent and is credited as the founder of Hip Hop. Boston, Ma. artist, KÖD looks to keep tradition running with his new single "I Love My Brothers." The song pairs KÖD's strong voice and Reggae style with a bouncy, heavy bass instrumental to create a great feeling vibe for the summer. But, it's not only a good song to sip Henny to, the video will make the experience that much better. The visuals for this video were filmed in the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands. While friends were out visiting the Gucci store, KÖD decided to use the visit as an opportunity to make a music video. And he did. The one take video(I dont know if people realize how hard that is to do) came out as the perfect compliment to a nice track. KÖD has a very bright career ahead of him and with singles like "I Love My Brothers", international superstardom is only a matter of time away.

"I'm not your regular...don't call me Reggie", words taken from the new hit single "Regular". That describes New York City based hip hop/R&B duo MAJIX (pronounced “magic”) who are set to explode onto the music scene. With the release of their single “Regular ”, Taylor Nirvana Jones and Mea Wilkerson exude the requisite hustle, independence and inyourface confidence that comes along with living in New York City.


It takes endless amounts of creativity and experimentation before chemistry builds and MAJIX is created! These 2 young ladies are powerful. Their new single “Regular” highlights just how special they are. These lyrical songbirds have been putting in work for a strong seven years, originally going by the name Love Jones Girlz before ultimately reinvinting themselves in 2016. “Regular” is an eargasmic fusion of dope trap bars meshed with sensational vocals over a groovy beat produced by VH1's MRose, B3B3, and Genedaox. The genius is in its clever songwriting using a cultural metaphor to set themselves apart from the rest. MAJIX's unique abilities confirm that they are not regular and their impact wont be either. 


Taylor and Mea recently shared their journey and talked about the new single during a recent interview. Enjoy “Regular” and follow the growing MAJIX movement today.

America's problems do not end at racism. Sexism, and the blatant degradation of women, is also a demon our people must fight. With that being said, if there is anyone in the underground hip-hop scene making it clear that they will indeed wage this war on behalf of women, it is New York rapper, 8.9.3.7th. Like a sword and shield, he wields rhymes and melodies on his latest single “Not Fair”, and rushes into battle. 

Backed by a sensual, yet powerful trap instrumental, blooming with a beautiful sample of Alicia Keys's 2009 “Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)”, the Queens native dedicates this entire track to ladies of the night. It is an anthem for exotic dancers, bartenders, adult-film actresses, and any other woman whose profession is unjustly frowned upon. “And it's Not Fair--” 8.9.3.7th croons on the chorus on the track, “--how they be judging you, girl / You out here running the world / Taking care of your business”. With those few bars alone, he justifies these women's positions. They are simply doing what they need to to make end's meet; and should be praised, not pejorated, for their ambition and excellence. As much as this track could be played at home, it would truly bump in the club scene; where the women it speaks to can embrace it and be inspired by 8.9.3.7th's recurring reminder “Ballers ball, and Haters hate”.
