Chicago Emcee Loovy Shows Power & Resilience In His Latest Music Video ‘GLORY’
We all deal with day to day, month to month, year to year, or lifetime struggles – whether big or small. I find it easiest to tap into the experience of others through writing, or music. Anyone can make a track addressing specific trials and tribulations – but it’s the artists that move you, capture…

ILL Gordon Drops Soulful Party Jam ‘Having A Good Time’
I’ve covered Ill Gordon, one of Chicago’s best kept secrets, for years now. He’s vicious on the mic, and a technically skilled emcee. Gordon’s biggest sell is his energetic tracks (and freestyles) that are best represented by last year’s Imma Beast. When I peeped his latest submission, Having a Good Time, I was surprised – but…

Not only do they host dope music, but often put out cassettes, CDs, and vinyl for their drops. Another gem has come out of the camp – this time from Sundance. The multi-faceted,…

Rebel Kuzco Drops Jam-Heavy Visual to Latest Track ‘Juice’
Grand Rapids, Michigan is rarely talked about within hip hop circles. Yet, 2018 has shown us that talent can come out of any city, suburb, state, and country.

Chicago mainstay Musa Reems can do it all. He’s proven that in the last few years with bursts of short EP’s that are incredible works of art, AND never sound the same. His lyrical game is ALWAYS on point – he can rap on any beat, and his creative mind has grown with every drop.…

Oakland Rep RonnieMac Stops By With The 3rd Installment of His, ‘Weekend With Mac’ Series.
They day sequels are never as good as the first, but that’s not the case in Hip-Hop. Tha Carter II was by far the best of the bunch & I can go on and on about other until you stump me with Hov’s Blueprint series…. Either way, I said what I said. That’s why when Oakland native RonnieMac released the third…
