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 pleasantly. The groovy single is a soulful party jam featuring … Continue reading ILL Gordon Drops Soulful Party Jam ‘Having A Good Time’

M. Whise Brings Metal And Hip Hop Together In Latest Effort ‘Powerful’

M. Whise is STILL unlike any emcee I’ve ever heard. Many rappers underestimate how important confidence, voice, and delivery are in a great song. Listen to any of Whise’s discography, and you’ll hear how effortlessly he weaves them all together. In his latest track, Powerful, he is just that. Producer jvst x went crazy on this instrumental, bringing together heavy metal, hardcore rock, and trap. … Continue reading M. Whise Brings Metal And Hip Hop Together In Latest Effort ‘Powerful’

CHICAGO’S NICO $UPREMO DOES HIS CITY AND HIS STYLE JUSTICE ON “AIR FORCE ALL STAR”

It’s hard to rep Chicago harder than Nico $upremo does on his new track Air Force All Star, with its extensive references to the titular shoe merely being the start of it. Over the creeping beat provide by Lone Buddha Beats, Nico spends much of the track documenting what the shoe means to him and the city as a whole, flossing with references to Rocky … Continue reading CHICAGO’S NICO $UPREMO DOES HIS CITY AND HIS STYLE JUSTICE ON “AIR FORCE ALL STAR”

Matt Maratea Uses The Best Of West Coast, NY & Down South Hip Hop For His Newest Track “Classy Man, Rubberbands”

Although Matt Maratea reps Massachusetts, he draws influences from hip hop around the country. His newest, Classy Man, Rubberbands, is a fusion of west coast funk with a classic New York delivery. The potent rhymes are all Matt, as he focuses on “gettin mine, gettin by and gettin fly.” He’s always been a lyrical cat, but Classy is a straight up onslaught of the BeatDwellers instrumental. Matt … Continue reading Matt Maratea Uses The Best Of West Coast, NY & Down South Hip Hop For His Newest Track “Classy Man, Rubberbands”

Mpulse – Untitled Bars (New Track)

lowlifeilli – Fuck It (New Track)

“Mumble rap” is often seen as a joke in the hip hop world. It’s become a bit of a worn out trend, especially among the hopeful rappers in the SoundCloud universe. I’ve heard a great many that sound uninspired; almost as though they are riding the wave just to cater to listeners that are drawn to the sound. A good chunk of the submissions we … Continue reading lowlifeilli – Fuck It (New Track)

Izzy Strange – A Good Day 2 B The Bad Guy (New Project + Review)

Dropping 6 singles before the release of an album is unconventional at best. Pennsylvania’s Izzy Strange did it anyway. Why wouldn’t he with features from Blu, Mick Jenkins, and Nate Fox? It all worked out as his sophomore album A Good Day 2 B The Bad Guy is flawless. Izzy sent me an apt description of the project which you can find below. “AGD2BTBG represents the stigma … Continue reading Izzy Strange – A Good Day 2 B The Bad Guy (New Project + Review)

Breeze – Let Em Know (Prod By Tha Shipmates) (The Best Song You’ll Hear All Day)

A few months later came the official music video. Threat does a great job of promoting his new music and then releasing a high quality visual to go along with it. March of this year saw a new single, … Continue reading Threat Digga – God Body (Video)

Yung Dutch – Grief (New Track)

A few months ago I talked about how much I’m getting into smokepurpp and ignorant alternative hip hop. The bass is heavy, the lyrics are simple, and it sounds amazing. Dutcho! (aka Yung Dutch) came to my attention through a submission and I was hooked. Grief has all the elements of the music I’m loving right now. The production from @laixilaixi add quiet a bit to the song. … Continue reading Yung Dutch – Grief (New Track)

Yung Ja$per – Pipe Her (New Track)

What better way to start things off than with Yung Ja$per. I’ve been a supporter of his for some time now and about a month ago he dropped off a new hit titled Pipe Her. It’s produced excellently by Dollie and has all the elements of a trap banger. Last month he also released his debut EP, UnoThrash EP, that has been doing very well. … Continue reading Yung Ja$per – Pipe Her (New Track)

Mpulse – Actions (New Track)

Mpulse kills it once again. Actions has a bit of a different vibe then his last few releases but he continues to speaks on relatable topics. A theme of the track is how “actions speak louder than words” which I wholeheartedly believe. He also rhymes about his desire to really make it and support his family. This is week 17 of his 52 week series…you … Continue reading Mpulse – Actions (New Track)

eGo Jaleel + The 25th Hour – Who Is He (New Track)

A few weeks ago I hung out in a home studio with eGo Jaleel‘s manager, The 25th Hour and a few more artists. It was a ball and I really appreciated them inviting me over. I had heard Who Is He previously, but I finally heard it out of better speakers at the spot. It was incredible. I got an early mp3 about a week … Continue reading eGo Jaleel + The 25th Hour – Who Is He (New Track)
