Matt Maratea’s 4 E V R Is The Best Music Video You’ll See Today…Promise
Massachusetts’ hip-hop is foreign territory to me. I rely on submissions to get me in tune with artists around the world. Matt Maratea is an artist out of the Western part of Mass, and one of my favorite discoveries this side of 2017. Yes, Matt can rap with a flow smooth as silk, but also…

Doe Brings Progression To Indianapolis In His Newest Visual, “Play Money”
22-year-old Indianapolis native Dośe is not your typical MC. Although the Indy hip-hop scene hasn’t brought a wealth of mainstream attention, there is an eclectic underground that has the potential to grow & gain that national attention. Rappers in that area mostly compromise of dizzying lyricsts who focus on paying tribute to the innovators of…

Skipp Whitman Returns With A Concept Video To Standout Track “Comfortable”
It’s been a minute since I’ve heard from Skipp Whitman – an MC who takes a unique and often humorous approach to his visuals. There is no doubt he has wordplay for days, and a strong hold on how to present topics such as mental illness, addiction, and in his newest – money troubles. Comfortable is…

I had the pleasure of watching easily one of my favorite Chicago MC’s perform last night at the Illinoize show. This was the first time I saw Joel Q live which was special for me as I’ve been admiring and writing about his music for quite some time. He is low-key yet captivating on stage…

Adam Reverie Feeds His Fans With Another Stunning Visual
I’m not one for grandiose statements, but 2 months ago I couldn’t help myself. Adam Reverie had just released Passion, another superb video, and I finally got it.

RÅDĮØ ÅHŁËË – S t a t i c (Video)
Radio dropped a low-fi and lyrically enticing project a year ago, and has made his return with the visual to Static. After a thorough listen to C.O.D.A., Static stands as the best offering. His bars are confident, and flow erratic, showcasing his unique approach to the NATHN and gifv produced beat. Directing credits goes to Radio…

Mitchel Gerald – 1998: The Visual (Video)
Let’s get this out of the way first. Multi- faceted Tennessee wordsmith Mitchel Gerald dropped one of my favorite songs of the new year in Tango. It was melodic, catchy, and very easy to dance to. This was a loosie before his debut project 1998, that intelligently sticked to a similar sound. The numbers are unwarranted for…
