I may have just found my favorite music video of the year. Swedish native Lil T-Shirt is an eclectic, skilled artist that is heavenly in his vocals. His bread and butter is his delivery and lyrics, icy enough to pierce hearts, but poetic enough to hear warm emotions and experiences. Lil T-Shirt is also a…

Meet Critically Acclaimed Hip Hop Duo Grand Opus (Music Video)
It’s been 544 days since Grand Opus’ last critically acclaimed album 360° Degrees dropped, but the gap is not out of laziness.

FFD Premiere: Ruste Juxx & M-Dot – ‘Guilty’ (New Track)
When I wrote about M-Dot for the first time, the words came swiftly, and easily. That post, over a year ago, was perhaps the longest single write up I have ever done. No one made me do it, and I didn’t have a goal in mind. It was the visual, Chrissy, that did all of…

Virginia Native DANVHEFNER Returns With New Visuals For, “Die Alone.”
Hip-Hop is, in my opinion, one of the genres with the most room to create. With themes touching on a range of topics and moods, Hip-Hop could be bent into any shape that helps to tell the story. Virginia rapper DANVHEFNER returns to our pages with his eerie new video, “Die Alone.” As told by the title,…

Take a Trip To Dallas, Texas With Ascending Rapper Coach Tev On His New EP
Dallas native Coach Tev has been one of my favorite artist to cover for a while now. Since 2016, I’ve seen the, “Lefty” rapper improve and better his sound, all while not succumbing to the sometimes unreasonable pressures of being a rapper in 2018. Naturally, with that patience, comes anticipation from fans for new music. After a…
