Ashaad, Xavier, Khus, and Qur’an – Grind Right (New Track)
Damn. I’ve definitely found my favorite song of the day in Grind Right by Ashaad Xavier, Khus, and Qur’an.

The chemistry…

The Village – Perfect Timing (Video)
Just a month ago the Philly duo The Village dropped one of the strongest projects of the year. Dizzy & Mayes complimented one another on every single track, each contributing their unique style of rhyming. Perfect Timing was a hell of an intro to G.O.D I Growth Overcame Doubt, and now we’ve got the official music video. It’s…

Cleveland’s Nuke Franklin has been on our radar for a minute, and we’ve been excited for his new EP. It’s finally here, and he went above and beyond expectations.
