Neak and Since9ine6ix’s pen game is as sharp as a sword. Their latest collaborative piece, AbstracT, is the most impressive track I’ve heard this year. Why? One play, and you’ll understand exactly why I feel this way. A Q-Tip sampled chorus divides up two heart palpating, dynamic verses from each artist that take their lyricsContinue reading “Neak and Since9ine6ix Drop The Most Impressive Track I’ve Heard All Year In ‘AbstracT’”
Philmore Green & Neak are well-respected staples in the Chicago hip hop scene…and for good reason. They make music that truly encapsulates the roots of the genre. Their latest collab, The Gift, lives up to its title. Neak had this to say about the song: Chopping up soul records has always super fresh to me,Continue reading “Chicago Staples Philmore Green & Neak Link For Soul Chopping Track ‘The Gift’”
MC’s like Geno Pacino are the reason why I have such a soft spot for nasty, grimy, street-oriented hip-hop. It’s menacing, in your face and unforgiving. And his new single, Justice, is no exception. The instrumental is one of the nastiest I’ve heard this year. The bass is an intimidating grumble, followed by hard-hitting trap percussion with bleakContinue reading “Geno Pacino Fights For His Rights On ‘Justice’”
As a music nerd, my absolute favorite thing about the summer is all of the joyous, carefree music that comes along with it. A shining example of that is B1GJuice’s brand new single, “99 Freestyle.” There’s a wavy feel in the synths that embody the slow pull of waves to shore on a chill summerContinue reading “B1GJuice Sounds Smooth As Ever On “99 Freestyle””
Energy, energy energy. That is the thought constantly running through my mind every time I listen to DeadstockV1 and NEV’s new single, “Liv.9000.” The beat, produced by Origami, is one of the more lively instrumentals I’ve heard all year. The bass thumps along at a constant, hard-hitting pace, and it adds a distinctive rhythmic pulseContinue reading “DeadstockV1 And NEV Start Off The Summer Right With “Liv.9000””
NoFace, Rapper continues to surprise me with his exceptional versatility as an artist. I’ve written about him and his music for years, and have become a huge fan of his output. Music should surprise, shock, and never be tied down. 2018 has proven that it is customary to know what an artist’s new album willContinue reading “FFD Premiere: Favorite NoFace Rapper, Continues His Winning Streak With New Track ‘No Hook’”
ILLECT Recordings signee’s James Gardin and Terem recently teamed up for a funky, new record titled Groove. Terem brings out the best in James and his half-sung raps and catchy chorus. Groove has potential, but it’s lacking polish. James often goes off-key, and the volume of his voice changes rapidly. I’m not sure if that’s dueContinue reading “ILLECT RECORDING’s James Gardin & Terem Team Up For New Track ‘Groove’ (Review)”
Boston has another one! In recent years, there has been a thriving rap scene in Boston seen in rising stars Michael Christmas and Cousin Stizz (amongst many others), and Danny Diamonds has stepped to the plate with his sunny and promiscuous, but self-aware new single Stuck, produced by Polyte. The concept of the track isContinue reading “BOSTON’S OWN DANNY DIAMONDS DELIVERS TRUTH TUNEFULLY ON NEW SINGLE “STUCK””
Growing up, there was a yellow and black cassette player I would drag throughout every room of our house. My cassette player was some sort of time traveling device. So leaving it in the hands of just anyone could be fatal. I needed my eyes on it at all times. This well worn device neededContinue reading “Merci Magnetik – The One (New Track)”
