“We all need a mental health day from time to time, and for anyone that has ever called in sick to work to instead do something a hell of a lot more fun, this Hip-Hop anthem is for you.
’The Call Out’ delivers a funky old-school groove that brings the sick ... as in sick beats and rhymes that will keep you moving while you skip out on work for the day.”
“Loren Todd dreamed of playing int he NFL, but off the field issues ended that dream and after being sent home home from college, Todd began creating music as his outlet.
’Take It Slow’ reflects a shift in attitude as Todd showcases his talents in a different realm. Sharp lyrics and deliberate bars are balanced by a nice vocal groove that feels true and genuine. ”
“Marzs new single ‘So Free’ does give you a free feeling when listening to it. The visual is simple yet you feel his mood as he tells the story of life vs money. The female vocals on the chorus comes in at the right moment. Marzs also speaks on how the world tries to put you in a box but your family and everyone around you wants you to be free and successful.”
“Recent events have inspired so so many submissions in my inbox, and while every track has worth in its message, the sheer number has made it tough to bring a track that feels real, true and unique.
This collaborative effort has managed to rise about the fray do exactly that. ‘Black AF’ offers a variety of voices behind this track and they combine to bring forth a wealth of emotion and truth. Each flow offers a little something different, but each one lands its punches and its view.”
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Salsa infused Hip-Hop!
3409 drops this fiery track that will definitely get you up and moving with its dance floor allure and lyrical hook.
’Small Talk’ is a true genre bending track that delivers high energy with a swagger. The Toronto based 4 piece band prides themselves on genre modification, and I can only imagine after hearing this track that their live show must be lit.”
“That beat pulls you in and each set of vocals delivers a flow that holds you to the groove. With a mix of styles and geographies, this track is hard to pinpoint to a particular sound, but it is a banger that just hits you in all the right places.
Foreign Skrilla brings it with her verve and attitude to represent the West Coast.”
“Delivering an uplifting message with a chorus from John Legend and a Hip-Hop flow from Tay Da Prince, this track is pure inspiration and positive vibes.
The video comes with an All-Star cast and the gospel vibe to the track does not comes at the sacrifice of a rich beat and energetic performance. Get on board with this project and do something positive today, be it a donation, a helping hand, or simply a kind smile towards another. ”

“If you think the West Coast is all sunshine and palm trees you just might be ‘Out Of Bounds.’
In a throwback to the Old School days when the West Coast Rap scene was wild, Pawz One drops a track that is defiant, and if not outright angry, at least outright hostile in the way it challenges perceptions and those trying to front over things they have no clue about. ”
“August Twelfth comes in with attitude and verve and while it takes just a bit for the flow to truly take off, ‘Don’t Know’ is a track that builds and progresses to hook and hold you.
Toeing a line between Hip-Hop, and more of a R&B feel, the track feels alive in its rebellious attitude.”
“GB Savant has done what I though was nigh on impossible at this point ... given me a Covid inspired song that held my interest.
Dark and twisty and moody, ‘Coronavirus Soup for the Soul’ rises above the glut of the theme not only with a talented bit of writing, and a brooding build to the vocal flow, but also with strong imagery in the accompanying video. The entire piece comes with a vibe that matches the oddly structured make up of our days during this pandemic.”
“The beat and vocal rhythm of this track wrapped around me and kept me tethered in. The ‘Ghosts’ in our head often are hard to exorcise, and this track not only captured that lyrically, but with the production and arrangement as well.
Mike XI has impeccable timing and a strong emotive tone to make this track take up residence in the attic of your mind.”
“The smooth laid back flow that no one else does quite like Snoop does, kicks off this track. Add in JoJo Hailey delivering a chorus that feels a bit like a throwback without feeling overtly retro, and the track just delivers a vibe that works to create a mood.This is one to dedicate to the one that is ‘Special’ to you. ”
“Malcolm Eppz drops a nice vocal flow over a beat that manages to both get out of the way, and give the track a bit of gritty edge. The writing is sharp and such that it takes a few listens to truly digest everything that is being put down. There is a bit of a throwback to the sound, but the overall vibe feels contemporary and fresh.”
“This track brings that raw passion that makes the flow pop and come alive. Solo XL delivers a strong tone to back his flow and that is brought home all the more with the contrast of the chorus delivered in soulful fashion by K I T.
The vibe has a dark grit to it, and the lyrics flow well carrying the listener forward along with the beat. There is a strong hint of Old School here, but still a contemporary sound as well, and the mix blends quite well.”
“CHAII is a New Zealander of Persian heritage and that bit of personal history fuses with an energetic Hip-Hop style to bring ‘Lightswitch’ alive in a way perhaps no other artist could. The talent and energy of her flow and performance bring this track to life.
This track is part of a visual trilogy that was inspired by Iran’s Islamic Revolution of 1979, which resulted in countless creative talents, including musicians, actors and artists, relocating to California after their work was banned in their homeland. California remains the biggest Persian music community outside of Iran over forty years later and that community inspired and sparked CHAII’s efforts on this project.”
“This project is far more than a song or even a short film, though it is certainly both of those things. The vocal flow is earnest and emotional and the video well done, but is is the honest truth of the complete storytelling that truly makes this project engaging and immersive.
Take the nearly 9 minutes it takes to watch and listen, and let the impact of the emotions hit you between the eyes. ”
“That melody comes at you soft and golden, just like the ‘Magic Hour’ of light around dusk, when you feel like everything is perfect and the coming night is going to be legit.
Flow’etic captures that times with a solid groove and vocal flow that matches that time of the day to perfection. This track is a mood, a ride, a groove that you need to take. ”
“1.. 2... 3...’I’m so ‘Sick Of Me’ is an alternative single by Garzi featuring Travis Barker. The visual starts out with a road trip with a bit of car trouble episode that turns into a moment of destruction in the woods. The drums provide a fed up yet lit cadence as Garzi releases his tension vocally. ”
“In world where Tik-Tok is on the rise and everyone is getting their own money Joe P, The MC new single ‘PayPal’ is a perfect song to play. When someone wants your service they need to hit your ‘Paypal’. Nothing in life is free and paypal has been proven to be better for handling business than other service. The beat is illmatic and the song is a vibe.”
“Remember Right Said Fred and the ‘I’m Too Sexy’ bluster? Well BBXO has just given us the very antithesis of that long ago single.
’Sabotage’ does rely on an infectious rhythm and delivery, but the truth behind the lyrics hits with a blunt force, and while you can move and sing along to this single, you also get a smack upside the head from it for behaviors we all tend to do.”
