WillThaRapper – How I Want (Video)
I have become a huge fan of WillThaRapper. I went HAM following his social media (even found his snapchat.) I enjoy his music so much; his spirit is so plain to see. He believes in himself, his team and his music. If you’re from the DMV area you’ve probably heard his huge single Pull Up Hop…

Derick Knox – Where You At (Video)
I honestly don’t know if you’ll be able to keep up with Philly’s Derick Knox. If you’ve followed him for awhile you’ll know over the summer he dropped a lyrical dizzying track titled Where You At. This dude needs to Rap Genius this shit…I played it back many times and didn’t even know how to deconstruct…

Matt Whise (feat. Jay Reall) – Eternal Life (New Track)
Matt Whise hit our pages last month with Eternal Life; and since then we’ve been keeping steady tabs on him. He has come through with another dope release titled Blood Gem with a nice contribution from Jay Reall. Both artists play off one another well, each giving their own spin on the beat from Jvst X.…

Indianapolis native Mula Kkhan has just dropped the official music video to his successful track Filthy. It’s racked up over 10k views in just 3 months and continues to get a positive response. The actual song has an interesting sound as the beat is minimal, but the rapping is full of trap influence (as well…

Destiny Roberts + Nsikak – Free Your Mind (Video)
When we posted Destiny Robert’s song Free Your Mind (featuring Nsikak) I never in my wildest dreams thought a video would be coming soon. We previously spoke on how positive and heartwarming the track was, and without surprise, the visual is just the same. Destiny looks to be a gentle soul, always smiling and always happy to…

Mpulse – Boomin’ (New Track)
Last time we posted Mpulse I said it was my favorite track off of his “52 Week”campaign. Well…I didn’t know Boomin’ was coming. This track is completely bananas. The beat by Keef Boyd is crazy and Mpulse knew exactly what to do with this type of instrumental. He speaks on his doubters and how far he’s come since…

Gee$ (feat. JuAn Gusto) – Conspiracy Theory (New Track)
In the first few bars of Gee$’ new drop Conspiracy Theory he flat out tells us “people @ me on Twitter saying my flow is retarted.” There isn’t really an argument to be made on that. Seriously. Listen to his discography and most importantly this track. The song is very relevant after this fucked up…
Got any book recommendations?
