Renz Young – It Was Nice Knowing You (New Album and Extensive Review)
I’d pay more than the price point for this new album from Renz Young. It Was Nice Knowing You isn’t a half hearted project. It’s not a mixtape, not a give away. Not a random piece of work. Case in point a line from inspiring track Higher: “I’ve been in the basement perfecting all of…

K$UBI KAYY – Make It Happen (New Project + Review)
I would call Make It Happen, the new 7 track EP from K$UBI KAYY, exploratory. It is a project that may sound a little experimental on the ears, but there is a method to K$UBI’s madness. There are a host of different types of tracks that most projects contain. Lyrical and retrospective (Can’t Compare, a highlight)…

BoodahDARR – Do Not Disturb (New Track)
This is only the fourth release from BoodahDARR, (at least on SoundCloud) but the most telling of his contribution to Milwaukee’s budding hip hop scene. I have no doubt in my mind that he’ll continue to progress and release quality content. Do Not Disturb is a very odd (and very effective) turn up song. Finn Wigan…

Corey Lee – Corey Album Coming (New Track)
Corey Album Coming is so fire my ears practically combusted when the beat by producer KilConfirmed hit. It knocks so hard but wouldn’t be the track it is without Corey Lee’s consistent flow and energy. At some points his wordplay rivals with some of the most celebrated lyricists in hip hop (and I very rarely say…

Chuck Chambers – On My Soul (New Track)
Chuck Chambers has been dropping tracks off of his SoundCloud for about a year now, but no song since compares to incredibly impressive track On My Soul. Rich Beatz gives us a sonically rich, piano driven instrumental that Chuck plays off of masterfully. He has seriously stepped up his flow, lyrics, and ability to create a…

Trapo – Hero Shit Freestyle (Video)
I’ve always known Wisconsin artist Trapo to be more of a vocalist (just check out his album She below) so when I watched this video I was pleasantly surprised. Dude had complete control over the mic. DJ Booth, my favorite publication on the internet, made a great move reaching out to him to do this…
