Samron Agnew – Benz (New Track)
Confession: I’ve recently gotten into experimental/rock influenced (or whatever you want to call it) hip hop. Guys like smokepurpp, Craig Xen, Kosi The Trill, Unotheactivist, etc. Judge me in whatever way you’d like…I’m enjoying it and bump it daily.

Dejavois Gives Us The Inside Scoop On Her Chilling New Track ‘Invitation’ (Dissection Interview Series)
We took a liking to Dejavois’ first single Invitation right away. It was a submission and we were so grateful to get it.

The powerful duo of Geno & Torrence LaMont just dropped their stellar music video to Guillotine. They’ve been at it for awhile dropping mixtapes, visuals and singles across the map.

Wil Akogu (feat. Mayowa) – Days Of Our Lives (New Track)
Promising Chicago artist Wil Akogu delivered an amazing EP at top of this year that really spoke to me. (Last years The Most Valuable Poet was dope too.) This years’ drop was titled Language Of The Soul (below) which featured beats influenced by a host of genres including rock, alternative and funk. There was so much emotion…

Cassius Tae – Fifth Night On The Block (Video)
We’ve loved Cassius Tae’s record Fifth Night On The Block from the start. Ever since the audio dropped right at the end of August I’ve been hoping for some type of visual. My prayers were answered a few days ago when he gave me a sneak peak of the video and told me it was dropping…

I knew she was someone to…
