Nique Drops His Most Polished Work To Date With New EP “Therefore, I Am”
I’ve been watching Nique’s steady rise from his hometown of Aurora to other parts of the country. Back in May, I posted his stand out record, 25 To Life, praising its expression of turning pain into art. His hard work has paid off with his newest project, Therefore, I Am. I’d call it an almost flawless body…

Yung Plato Brings A Fresh Sound to Hip Hop In His Newest Track “Ese Vato Fre$h”
Yung Plato is only 19 but has talent way beyond his years. The attention to Cali hip-hop is growing, and Plato must be in the conversation of up and comers. His newest track, Ese Vato Fre$h, is hard to define, and probably shouldn’t be. Plato has a profound ability to blend echoing musings into potent rhymes…

Jesse James’ Drops An Eeerie Visual To Freestyled Track “Greezy”
After dropping his recent mixtape HAM, Jesse James is already back to work. The Greezy visual dropped on Halloween, and I sadly missed it. Greezy is actually a freestyle, although it is dope enough to be a single. No info is given on the videographer, but he or she created a cinematic short horror movie. Colors and…

Cayo Coco Gives Us An In-Depth Look Into His Mind In New Track, “Somebody”
I needed this today. Cayo Coco has a poetic and existential way of expressing his emotions, confusion, and heartbreak. His way of approaching music couldn’t be better expressed than in Somebody Else.

His newest double drop, TALKIN’ BOUT & ANOTHA, are hard-hitting…

Joel Q has put out a slew of dope visuals this year, all preparing for his highest-profile project yet, Daniel: The Angel In Training.

Kiraly Enters A New Phase In His Career With New Track “FAKE”
Kiraly (formerly Kiraly Payne) has yet to disappoint me. The rapper/producer/engineer has been on a roll, progressing as an artist and establishing his fan base. His latest, FAKE, is a step up in the expression of his thoughts, feelings, and reflections. The JUSTWill & G Koop produced record is his most abstract in terms of themes…

ATL’s RETRO Brings Us Back To the 90’s in Nostalgic New Video, “VIBE”
ATL’s RETRO represents everything in his namesake. He has a penchant for sampling pop culture of the ’90’s, from the Teenage Mutant Turtles to OG’s like Eazy-E and Mase. The rhyme-slinger has an innate ability to incorporate his strengths, while still paying homage to West Coast, NY, and Southern hip-hop. RETRO’s visuals are his bread and…
