Destiny Roberts – Moon Melanin Mami (New Project + Review)
Destiny Roberts is Minnesota’s new Lauryn Hill. We have posted her music countless times, even sitting down for an insightful interview with her last year. This girl can do it all – from neo soul record to vicious rhyming. She’s soulful, and most importantly a positive force in music. There is spirituality to her persona…

Blaqrock – Southside + About The Music (Interlude) (New Tracks + Review)
0 The group Blaqrock are a KILLER band out of Chicago that incorporate political angst, hard rock, stunning instrumentals, and fierce vocals.

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…

Trell Love – Waiting On Forever (New EP + Review)
Trell Love has kept me up to date with his music (even before it drops) for some time now. He’s been telling me about his upcoming EP Waiting On Forever for a bit and even gave me a first listen. After the first run through, I deemed it great. It wasn’t until I re-listened for…

femdot. – to(u). (New EP + Extensive Review)
femdot.’s debut project femdelacreme was my introduction to the young emcee. I lost touch with his music as he dropped the king dilla EP, but jumped right back in with fo(u)r. I wasn’t expecting three more releases…and that they would all be connected. 2016 has been his year as thr(we). hit us in the summer. We’ve just gotten another EP…
