TRAPJXHN – Like Dat (New Track)
TRAPJXHN blew me away with his Live In The Trap mixtape. My friend Justice over at Baltimore based thedemotape.com put me on to him and I must have thanked him 10 times. He just dropped off a potential MASSIVE hit called Like Dat with production from Flame Alkahest. He’s no stranger to making these type of…

Chancellor Warhol – Prom Tux (New Track)
We’ve got something from Nashville and I’m pretty damn excited about it. Chancellor Warhol just became a part of All The Best Media which hosts artists like Jazz Cartier, Little Simz, Jay IDK and more. His newest release, Prom Tux, shows his range of excellent flow switch up, beat selection, and abstract yet impressive lyrics. ESCPE went wild on the beat,…

Kyle Lavish – Outcome (Video)
Kyle Lavish just dropped a stellar music video for his C-Sick produced song Outcome. The song dropped almost half a year ago and did some good numbers, but the video gave me a completely different take on the track. I wouldn’t be surprised if others felt the same. It’s set around Chicago without any distractions…

TRIPLE has the perfect video for this Halloween. Prescription is a vampire themed short film directed by Olivia Rose Curry, but much more than a mere holiday video. The song is an interesting take on women being somewhat of a cure for life’s ills. It’s melodic and pretty perfect. Prescription is a track off The Hat…

Jo$e Santos gave me the submission of my dreams + I had to give thanks (Dissection Interview Series)
I’ve got a short story. A guy named Jo$e Santos (from my hometown of Chicago + the surrounding neighborhoods) hit my inbox yesterday with a video submission. He spoke on how he hadn’t made music for a long time, and only had a few tracks on SoundCloud. I give every song a chance and try not to make…

Jayaire Woods – Feel (New Track)
I really enjoyed Jayaire Wood’s FREETHEFALL tape. It dropped just 2 months ago, but has still been heavily played on my end. It was full of hard hitting production that sounds crazy with good speakers (try it out.) Feel is Jayaire’s first single since the tape and it has a completely different vibe from the aformentioned…

Adam King – Dream Girl (New Track)
Adam King is back like he never left. He’s dropped such a smooth cut in Dream Girl, which is full of positive and thoughtful vibes. The classy piano backdrop produced by Adam himself is perfect for this Sunday night. It’s been a year since he released Life where he proves his lyrical skills. After hearing the song I…
