As promised, consistently dope rapper Jayaire Woods has dropped the official music video to song Sincere. The track was dropped quiet awhile ago but was met with rave reviews all over the web.

We Talk With Houston’s ‘Cowboy Jones’ AKA Dylan Cohl (Exclusive Interview)
Texas has always been a hot bed for southern hip hop talent. DJ Screw, UGK, Scarface…I could go on. It’s been interesting to see the progression of the Lone Star State’s sound throughout the years (side note: one dude I’m loving is Maxo Kream.)

Xavier Clark – Arlo Day (New EP)
I’m new to Xavier Clark but extremely impressed by his new 3 track EP Arlo Day. I went through more of his catalog and was equally impressed by his ability to create dark trap rap songs but make them all sound slightly more progressive. Arlo Day includes that same diversity from the warpy and more melodic self titled…

MBK Maine – Came From Nothin’ (Video)
Artist MBK Maine and director extraordinaire Ja-Wan (The Director) have linked to make a visual masterpiece. Their combined talents have given life to a hard hitting and honest song titled Came From Nothin.’ It is more of a short movie as you’ll see when you press play. MBK explained it really well in his submission. Here is…
