Reno Shakur – .Safe After a Slum Village sampled single released two months ago, boundary-pushing Atlanta MC Reno Shakur is back with another strong track, .Safe (featuring Supreme Sol and produced by AyoNicky). All Reno wants is for people to understand and feel his music, and he makes a great case for it. .Safe is bothContinue reading “Catching Up On Submissions Part 6 (Best Of)”
Listening to Joshua. for the first time is exciting, confusing, and compelling. In two songs flat, the South Carolinian has re-introduced me to how far music can truly be pushed. Geronimo is a rush of an instrumental, dubbed over harrowing echoes, vocal distortion, and low-fidelity mastery. It takes multiple listens to realize how lyrically inclined JoshuaContinue reading “Joshua’s ‘Geronimo’ & ’11:11′ Show The Beauty of Experimentation”
Cassius Tae is murderous on the beat. He doesn’t stop putting out gem after gem whether music video, single, loosie, or project. I’ve been writing about him for years now and watching him hone his skills and throw himself into new territory has been a wonderful experience. Another masterpiece has hit YouTube in the formContinue reading “Cassius Tae and Ja-Wan The Director Make Magic on New Music Video ‘Roses’”
MC’s like Geno Pacino are the reason why I have such a soft spot for nasty, grimy, street-oriented hip-hop. It’s menacing, in your face and unforgiving. And his new single, Justice, is no exception. The instrumental is one of the nastiest I’ve heard this year. The bass is an intimidating grumble, followed by hard-hitting trap percussion with bleakContinue reading “Geno Pacino Fights For His Rights On ‘Justice’”

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 – butContinue reading “ILL Gordon Drops Soulful Party Jam ‘Having A Good Time’”
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 onContinue reading “M. Whise Brings Metal And Hip Hop Together In Latest Effort ‘Powerful’”
