Oscvr Wow – After The Party (New Track)
I’ve found a kindred spirit in Baltimore’s Oscvr Wow. Throughout his music career he’s rapped about depression, loneliness and a loveless life. I relate to the first two; and it’s always refreshing to hear an artist expressing this despondency. It’s never fun to experience this in life – but Oscvr has channeled these battles into something beautiful. If you…

Dae Fluent – My Way (New Track + Review)
Before I start the review of the new song from artist and producer Dae Fluent, let’s take a good look at the cover art.

Lavish Mack – Eater (Video)
If you haven’t already heard Lavish Mack’s song Eater, I urge you to check it out. You might be surprised at how addictive it is, as it’s not a conventional hip hop track.

A excerpt of our review is below: He annihilates the song with producer Jacob Lethal. Threat Digga’s and Jacob’s suggestive names don’t seem to be on accident. Obviously we loved the…

Cza Kalu (feat. Pat Soul) – Moonlight (New Track)
Atlanta is a hotbed of talent, and is arguably the most popular city in hip hop. The spotlight on well established rappers artists has never been so bright, especially in the last few years. That being said – it is important (at least to me) to showcase undiscovered and indie talent. Enter Cza Kalu. Kalu…

Boogey Robinson Drops Another Dope Visual – Learn More About Him (Artist Spotlight)
Back in 2012 Chicago’s Boogey Robinson announced that he would teach himself how to rap. The self made producer started a rap group known as GRINDorDIE, with his cousin Yessir. Just a year later, the group broke up due to creative differences. With a fresh start, Boogey dropped a few tapes, videos, and songs and amassed a…

Through friend’s suggestions, my own SoundCloud feed, and my email submissions, it feels like I’ve been listening to music all day. We have less than 3 hours…
