“Intelligent, cutting lyricism” Crack In The Road
“Highly rated, a man who deals in communication as a trade” Clash
Always one to wear his heart on his sleeve, the north Londoner has fast become known for his known for his honest and conscious approach to hip hop. Patch now announces a new EP project ‘Regard-Less’. Free from any conceptual notions and bored of trying to fit his brand of hip hop into the usual boxes, Patch has delivered a free flowing collection of songs, exchanging typical song structures with emotions. The aim was to let the music flow out naturally, regardless of whether they fitted into any traditional format. He furthers this by saying;
“The idea behind the ep was just to let my thoughts flow out naturally, regardless of whether they fitted into any traditional format. It was also written at a time when I having to remind myself to be true to who I am and have less regard for what anyone else thinks , hence the hyphen in the title. It's a very free flowing project with no defined structure other than the current of emotion flowing through it.”
Whilst not afraid to tackle personal issues and contemplative moods in his more chilled tracks There is an obvious duality to Patch’s music,, he also covers more basic and carnal instincts of a 20 something in London. Coining the philosophy which ties all his music together as ‘Embracing Your Contradictions’, he describes this ethos as "a way of encouraging myself and others to express all elements of who they are, even the bits that don't make sense to the rest of the world."
2016 was a breakthrough year for the burgeoning wordsmith. His debut EP ‘Space Between The Heartbeats’ and following tracks ‘Point Of View’, ‘90s’ and ‘Sketchbook’ all helped establish Patch as a one to watch after being championed by platforms such as Complex, Indie Shuffle, Audiomack, MTV, SBTV, Soundspace and much more.
To celebrate ‘Embrace Your Contradictions’ Patch has announced a new clothing brand, kicking things off with ‘EYC’ T-shirts available online here: https://embrace-your-contradictions.myshopify.com/collections/all

Rock (of Heltah Skeltah) - "Rockness A.P." (prod. by The Arcitype)
The latest single from Rock’s highly anticipated solo debut, Rockness A.P., finds the Brownsville native getting brutally honest about his career, and what it means to record without his partner-in-rhyme ( the late Sean Price ).
On “Rockness A.P.”, the gruff-voiced emcee puts aside his trademark tough talk and always-clever bars for an eye-opening look at why it’s taken so long for him to release a proper album on his own. Did you know that his career was put on hold at one point because of the beef between Eminem and Limp Bizkit? How about all that happened during his time away from Duck Down Records?
It’s rare to hear anyone get this candid on a track—nevermind a rapper known for delivering tough bravado with a smirk. But Rock puts it all out there as he learns how to move on following the tragic death of Sean P in August 2015. There’s a lot to unpack on “Rockness A.P.,” and the Monsta explains it all with sincerity and integrity. It makes for one of his strongest tracks to date, and only further builds the anticipation for his proper debut.
“Rockness A.P.” is the fifth instant grat track available for download off the iTunes’ pre-order for, Rockness A.P. The 14 track LP includes guest features from Method Man, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, M.O.P., Ras Kass, Kuniva (of D12), Ron Browz, and more, and is executed produced by Phil Anastasio (of Blood Before Pride). The album, which is due out Sept 22, is now available for pre-order on CD as well as through the digital retailer of your choice via Digital Déjà Vu Records.

I go by CraigThe2nd, I From Denver CO.
I have been doing this only for 4 yrs. But just released my first official EP. “Poetry in the Field”
I’m the kid who looks at the world side ways, and scratches his head like, “this is it?”
so my music is one that is Conscious/HipHop. that Nas, Biggie, Wu tang, type shit get’s a dude inspired along with J. Cole and Kendrick.
New age music makes me close to sick and i’m 19 so you sense where I am coming from.
This song is about, me being in the field, ( Corporate America) working with all the other slaves, (America), But I stand up against the situation shed light on our struggles as a society, and question it all. Because we cannot be scared to stand tall and against life, and human kind because if every one had did this, none of us of us would be alive. The world is what it is because of risk takers.

Jahn Rome - "Kool-Aid"
“I wrote this song after Trump was inaugurated. I’ve had a past of creating aggressive songs that react to political moments, but for this song I wanted to make something somewhat more timeless; in the sense that this moment, this character and these issues are not completely unique to our time. To me, Trump symbolizes something that we often see in history. This song was prompted by this current political moment, but it describes something much more widespread throughout history.

G.L.A.M. :60 sec video for CentricTV Black Music Month
Nacolbie Edward p/k/a G.L.A.M. is no stranger to the spotlight, the Oakland native has climbed the rungs of the ladder that is music politics, only to jump off and do it her own way. Coming from a family of platinum selling musicians that faced adversity, she has seen what it takes to beat the odds, and she plans to do just that with the release of her new album, 'AUXygen'.
She is fresh off the release of the first track, Mistletoe, an "in your face" track that deals with the adversity in her journey and serves as the opening to her closing that chapter of her life and is now ready to release her body of work. She knows first hand the soul crushing results of music politics, the need to fit into the ideas of others and the adversity of being a female producer and rapper that does not condone or contribute to the misconception and misogyny that hovers over woman in this industry all the time.
In fact, it was a string of joining "the group" and the "cool kids" with empty promises and misrepresentations that lead the Oakland native to New York, three years ago. A move that came right around the time she was catching the attention of hip hop blogs, in the hot seats at major labels across the country and sharing stages with the likes of G Eazy, J Cole and Big Sean to name a few. In hopes of a new start she unfortunately found herself enticed by promises from yet another notable relationship that merely led her to another string of failed starts and expectations that she should needs be more like "just another female rapper" or she needs to make more "pop" records. Never truly being heard.
AUXgen is the musical equivalent to the air we need to breathe; pure, incomparable and free. Now more than ever the industry needs just that, pure creativity without any toxic messages or phony gimmicks. Before anyone even thinks of drawing the conscious card G.L.A.M. herself will tell you she subscribes to no label. Yes, a female artist ditching the labels, sounds impossible. But even the cover art is committed to showing the struggle to protect her integrity, hiding her head in a plastic bag that reads, "thank you".
Its not hip hop, it's not pop, it's not electronic, it's music. She is not Nicki, Remy or Foxy or Lauryn... She's G.L.A.M. Your favorite rappers, favorite rapper and your favorite producer's favorite producer. Look out for AUXygen, streaming everywhere today.
Myke Bogan (ft. Michael Christmas) - "Gravy"
Portland's hip hop and r&b scene has really come into the public eye within the last year, and Eyrst Records, an imprint that was started by producer Neill Von Tally and former Portland Blazers player Martel Webster, is in the middle of that scene. The label's next release is LA-by-way-of-Portland MC, Myke Bogan. Past Bogan releases hit the number 14 spot on iTunes Top 100 and the Bandcamp hip-hop charts the day it dropped, and he's been covered by AllHipHop.com, The Source, Flood, Okayplayer.com, Hip Hop Weekly, Hip HopDX, Paste, and even XXL’s The Break. He has successfully set the precedent for his stylized visuals and dynamic delivery, coupled with a charismatic and fiery persona, earning him more than 800,000 video views and landing on the same stage as hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Wu Tang Clan, and more.
Myke Bogan will release "Pool Party" (with contributions from Michael Christmas, Blossom, Neill Von Tally, and The Last Artful, Dodgr) on Aug 18 via Eyrst Records. Fall tour plans are firming up.
