Looking for Fast Paced Conceptual Hip Hop? Look No Further Than AcidTrip’s ‘Reincarnation’
Many emcee’s talk about trusting no one, rappers and industry folk screwing them over, and cutting negative people off. Sure, these are legitimate statements, but so many bore with dull lyrics and underproduced beats. A new discovery, Reincarnation by AcidTrip, addresses these topics, but with flair and creativity. Reincarnation is a well thought out conceptual…

James Gardin Is Back With Groovy New Track ‘Joy’
2018 has been good to James Gardin. An uplifting visual, a collaborative joint with James & Terem (peep last post) and an actual Tommy Hilfiger theme song. Yes, he’s garnered attention far and wide, but the grind never stops. One month later, James is back with Joy, another song that encourages us to push along…

French Producer Terem Exceeds Expectations In New EP ‘Intuition In The Keys’ (Review)
A few days ago I wrote about Terem, an eccentric, yet powerful French producer who dug deep into my soul off of one track. Interestingly enough, Look On The Bright Side was a pure instrumental.

Musa Reems Comes Alive In Visual To New Single ‘Flodge’
I wrote about Musa Reems’ latest track Flodge’ about a month ago. Here’s an excerpt: ‘Flodge contains a lot of flexing, a fluid flow, and the youngin’ letting loose. He’s carefree, confident, and having a lot of fun.’ It was awesome to hear Musa less calculated, and full of joy. I had high expectations for the visual. I’m not gonna…

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…
