“No bars left behind. This socially conscious record gives you raw insight on the mind of Nicolas when it comes to the state of today’s world. Off beat and unorthodox delivery yet still giving you substance in every line. All over a tonal, slightly off key piano melody. I have never heard anything that sounds like this. Nicolas is in a class all his own. ”
“Mark L33 is defiantly the King to having “Sauce”. He cooks up his lyrics and deliver them in a bowl full of verses. The beat is conscious Hip-Hop that allows any listener to rap along even if they don’t know the words. This artist really whipped up a good track.”
“The song comes on with a tuba like intro. It automatically shifted my mind to school bands. Rahseed Defoe infuses Hip-Hop with a marching band tempo. The track is calming but energetic. It makes you want to dance by hyping you up on each verse. This is defiantly an organic track. ”
“You would think this was another reggae track. However, “Closer” is a trap meets hip-hop track with a twist of reggae. The delivery is classic and laidback. It tells a story of family but brings you in closer to every verse. It makes you vibe and listen to the full song.”
“Rap feels like its entering a new era. Trap doesn’t hit as hard, and fun is coming back to the genre. Lance drops clever bars, bouncy flows over a skipping beat that has groove and fresh pockets. Rap is crying for a new sound and ‘Crop’ is a step in the right direction. ”
“Jazz is poetry and on ‘The Bush’ HoodyBoi is speaking my language. The record epitomises that jazz is not only not dead but its thriving, fresh and relevant as ever. Glorious chords, subtle vocals paired with infectious grooves. This is the sound of summer 2023.”
“Taken from his new album ‘Some people scream, some people talk’ 05 Honda is a serious head bopper. The groove in this record is infections just as is Wakai’s laid back flow. The chorus is catchy and potent and has us feeling like we’re riding shotgun as Wakai shows us his world. ”
“This artist manages to capture 90s Hip-Hop vibes. Safari is a track full of raw insight into Astral Jack’s personal and life reviews. The instrumental production isn’t your common Hip-Hop beat which makes the song stand out even more. ”
“The Thrill is an aggressive pop track. Brie takes control through her vocal delivery of revealing the thrill life has to offer. We experience excitement but at the same time we experience confusion. The song keeps you on edge but also allows you to relate. ”
“It’s not to often that a guitar intro isn’t followed by a great song. I like how the Lester and Fables have an immaculate flow and the beat is lowed to hear that. I believe if the beat was to stop they would still continue the same flow.They may have took some losses in life but they found it in this beautiful track.”
“An elegant, international dance ballad. An inspirational tune with chill lyrics and vocals. The feature comes in and compliments the already jamming tune with Ty Dolla Sign style vocals. This is a laid back jam that could last the test of time and remain a memorable hit down the line. ”
“Chevy just made one to send the clubs up all 2023. This record is effortless but still witty. ”
“‘We got hand grenades that look like Don Julio bottles’ I MEAN! This record is hearing a lion snarling with a ruby incrusted crown on. Its mean but sounds so royal and expensive. A1 & Benny trade quotable lines whilst painting a vivid picture of their lives. This is one of those, leave on loop and drive 2 hours type moods.”
“I almost thought I was listening to Pusha T when this track came on. Distinctive vocal timbre and tone. Techno, trap fused production. This song just sounds big. Witty bars similar to those of great arrangers like Kanye West. I could hear this song on a G.O.O.D Music compilation. This song is polished and well put together all the way down to the post production. ”
“Consciousness over a beat. The artist lay down lyrical law while not wasting a single bar on nonsense. These guys speak to your mental and of mental elevation but in a cool way to where it doesn’t feel preachy. The sample adds the extra zing the track needs to make it a track you can just turn on and vibe to. Each artist compliments the other and contributes to the overall chill flow of “Eyes Wide”.”
“The timbre of this artist vocal tone cuts right through the production and dances across the beat. Trap kicks and snares banging out while leaving enough room for the artist to do his thing. Then boom, the unexpected beat change. Although the artist doesn’t change his cadence, he still finds a way to deliver an energetic delivery in his monotone vocal style. ”
“Powerful bars with a powerful message. Motivation music. The production is big and gives movie soundtrack feels. Ashes 5thborn is the epitome of “Say it with your chest”. The Regge sample in the back adds even more depth to this mentally stimulating jam. ”
“Now this is different. When you think UK Hip-Hop, you think of drill. Jordz stepped into his lyrical bag and delivers a banger. Monotone vocal tone but with an undertone of aggression. No bars wasted. The beat is simple and melodic but leaves just enough room for the artist to dance all over it. Overall great listen.”
“Love has never been consistent. We fall in and out of it but we often wonder is it still there to come back to. Tahdig delivers a chill yet sad rap song about wondering where some heart is. The beat is steady creating a Hip-Hop vibe.”
“Life is about ups and downs. Muncy tells his story in an epic yet conscious delivery. He talks about how life has tore him down but he still found his own path. The beat is quick yet energetic. ”
