Jay Wonder – World Premier (New EP + Review)
Jay Wonder is the essence of classic hip hop. His newest EP World Premier is out of this world and took me back to the 90’s cats who freestyled on Stretch and Bobbito (please look them up if you haven’t heard of the radio show…there is also an excellent documentary on them on Netflix.) It’s a…

Zip Dot – Ignorant Shit (New Track)
Chicago’s Zip Dot has just given us a great loosie in the form of Ignorant Shit. It’s easily my favorite song from him…producer Madman Zen knows how to create a pulsating bass heavy beat for Zip to go crazy on. Zip is at his best on this one with a menacing flow and great energy.…

SluRty – Crew (New Track)
This new track from SluRty completely bumps. He created the beat to Crew and it worked well for him as he finds the right pockets to spew his dark yet sultry lyrics.
