AWillThaGreat – Temporary (New Track)
Last month AWill impressed us with his song Goin Up (so much so that we did a dissection interview to learn more about it.) He goes in a completely different direction with his newest offering, Temporary. If a hip hop song could be a slow jam, this would be it. Featured r&b artist King Roya’l adds some flavor to…

FULMETALPARKA$ – ODALYS.NY (Video)
We appreciate artists that veer way off the path…not for shock valuem but because they aren’t afraid to stay true to themselves. Virginia’s FULMETALPARKA$ is that artist. Everything from his name, his newest video ODALYS.NY, to his cover art screams artistic expression. The song ODALYS dropped a month ago and got a great response, so it was…

Ali Superb feat. Richie Bux – If The Shoe Fits (New Track)
Let me start off by saying thank you to @A20H for introducing me to Ali Superb, Richie Bux and producer AK. All had a hand in this powerful new song titled If The Shoe Fits. AK is easily my new favorite producer. He’s a fan of hard drums at 808’s. It literally shook my crappy Apple headphones. PLEASE give…

flowsfordays Presents: Highest Basement Collective
In the last few years there has been a surge of popularity in hip hop collectives. It’s well deserved and great to see. There are blurred lines (The Social Experiment) and more concrete examples (Pro Era, A$AP Mob.) Throughout my blogging career I’ve noticed many “underground” collectives not getting the spotlight they deserve. Some are coming out…
