Our love for Ajani Jones is endless. Just read our write ups. He’s released an EP, a few loosies, and performed at shows around Chicago. His work has all been leading up to this: his debut project titled Eternal Bliss. To get a full length from Ajani is more than a blessing, but essential to…

Savage G – California Palm Trees (New Track)
California hip hop is not my forte, but I’ve grown to love the diverse sounds coming out of The Golden State. The Bay Area has always been a hot bed of talent, but other towns are continuing to show promise. San Bernardino County is one of them thanks to Savage G. Although his stream count may…

lowlifeilli – Fuck It (New Track)
“Mumble rap” is often seen as a joke in the hip hop world. It’s become a bit of a worn out trend, especially among the hopeful rappers in the SoundCloud universe. I’ve heard a great many that sound uninspired; almost as though they are riding the wave just to cater to listeners that are drawn…

Izzy Strange – A Good Day 2 B The Bad Guy (New Project + Review)
Dropping 6 singles before the release of an album is unconventional at best. Pennsylvania’s Izzy Strange did it anyway. Why wouldn’t he with features from Blu, Mick Jenkins, and Nate Fox?

Portland stand up! We rarely get submissions from one of my favorite cities in the world, but when it happens it’s always a welcomed surprise. 5th Sequence and Randal Wyatt are new to my ears, but they’ve just released one of my favorite tracks this week in Why Oh Why. It’s mellow, soulful, and a perfect pick…

After Pxrty – GSN (New Track)
In our last post on Michigan’s After Pxrty, we wrote about his “unconventional flow and abstract rhyming.” This stays true for his newest drop, GSN, but it is definitely an easier listen. He’s about to drop a new EP titled No Rest for the Wicked that Pxrty has said is inspired by Clipse’s album Hell Hath No Fury. The comparison is…

Plug Migo – Gracias (Video)
Westsider Plug Migo may be the busiest rapper in Chicago. He’s worked with KD Yung Cocky, G- Herbo, Mikey Dollaz, co-directed a host of music videos, and has been mixing for King Louie’s highly anticipated mixtape Jeep Music 2. On top of that, he raps and produces. He’s been putting the finishing touches on his second mixtape migoGOD, (almost…
