“Is there such a thing a melancholy mosh pit?...
This chorus is infectious and raw. The whole record is raw AF. The beautiful strings juxtaposed over IGNORANT drums is glorious. Excuse me while I go yell ‘SHE WILL NEVER LOVE ME BACK’ while a make more morning coffee and think about the one that got away. ”
“THIS HOOK! Thats it that thanks guys *drops mic*. But seriously some times a hook is so catchy yet venomous it makes you wanna get reckless and amped. The record does everything I want a rap song to do. Paint a vivid picture of your perspective, hit hard AF and give me something so catchy I wanna say it without warning mid conversation. Next time someone asks me what I’m tryna do they’re getting “I just wanna hoop, I just wanna ball” rapped at em. I’m calling it now Sycosis is one to watch. Be sure to check out his LP Pre-Approved.”
“This record is hypnotic and feels like that soothing whoozy feeling of a good s****** trip. The flows are sharp, the lyrics are clever and this hook is made to be rapped back at Inna Meth with the mic pointed at the crowd. I’m loving this new wave of UK hip-hop finding its own unique voice. This record shows you don’t need drums to make ya head nod. Take a night drive and loop this up... trust me its worth the trip.”
“You would almost think you were listening to production from classic album, “October’s Very Own” when hearing the introduction to Rivers. A smooth vibe with soft well placed instrumentation. Using instruments such as clarinets and pianos to keep the mood chill and flowing. This composition could be the skeleton the hit song some artist somewhere is waiting to lace. Crisp mix. This is a banger with the right artist on it.”
“Jus’ is a lyricist. Never wavering and wasting a single bar. Using a beat with light percussion also gives Jus’ room to be heard and deliver bar after bar. The accent of the horns in the background add just enough spice to keep the listeners head bobbing while taking in every word. This sounds like 90s East Coast Hip-Hop; back when substance was plentiful and wordplay was your weapon of choice. Jus’ is definitely someone to look out for.”
“A tribute to one of the Fore Fathers of what we now know as Hip -Hop, Kool Herc. This song is an embodiment of pure Hip-Hop with the Dj scratching over looped live instruments. Stalin the Inner-city Rebel pays homage with this well written and well verse ode to the legend himself. ”
“The production on this track is big. What more would you expect though from anything Cam’ron stepped on. The Harlem Don doesn’t disappoint, delivering a bar filled classic of a verse over soulful pianos and trap percussions. Cali Ave Lo does not disappoint once entering into this lyrical juggernaut of a track. Raw, New York Hip-Hop. This song is a banger.”
“Soulful and chill. Conxept delivers a high energy banger over, smooth jazz style production. The way he dances in and out of the verses with multiple cadences keep me as a listener hanging on to every word. Heart felt. Emotionally evoking. This song is brilliantly arranged and masterfully composed. Would love to hear more from this artist. ”
“An anthem about the one thing we all crave. Peace of mind. This track is both soulful and futuristic. Meshing unlikely synths and live instrumentation from an early electric guitar. This song is a groove and brings on nothing but good vibes to whoever has the pleasure of getting a listen. Free spirited bars over relaxing production.”
“If you ever been tired of working this is the track for you. Sometimes going to work and dealing with people is tiresome. Verse Coast lays every work ain’t shxt thought in this track. They are so low key with their delivery that its hard to take the track serious until you really listen to what they are saying. Then you realize you can really relate. I can see this track going viral in a lot of reels. ”
“Not many artists can take a break and come back swinging but Malaynah proves that she is that artist. The talent provides a clear mix of Pop and Rap with empowerment. She talks about her life but she also talks about the troubles of the world, Reminds everyone of her talents and that she is here to deliver and not just be another female rapper. ”
“The song is dark but it leads you through a few thought provoking topics. This is a Hip-Hop conscious track with a little Rock infused in the mix. The visual is like a video game that makes you focus on the artistry of it. I like the strong vocals in the beginning and the poetic rap flow around the 2 mark.”
“This is an international banger. Monotone bars while the beat knocks with syncs and bass. Raw lyrics. This song could get any club moving. Midnight delivers with this one. Would love to hear more from him. ”
“Find a patch a grass, some headphones maybe a lil drink a lil s**** and lose yourself in this record. ‘Halfway’ is heady without losing you on the journey. All the vocalists bring something fresh a unique to the song and the soulful production is the glue. Everything about this record is hypnotic and effortless. A late contender for jam of the summer. ”
“Sometimes a record has so much energy you wanna flip the the table over and start jumping on the cash register of the coffee shop you’re currently writing from... just me? Well ‘Pop Out’ has so much energy and bounce you can’t help but have a visceral reaction. A1 is really putting on for Alabama and city should be proud. This record reminds me that music is simple, just make something that makes us feel something. Pop Out has me FEELING!”
“I think we can all agree that life is tiring. Sometimes its so tiring I can’t even find the words to say how I’m feeling, and on those days I’m grateful records like this exist. Malcom & Bino dive into how people and life can be draining and well exhausting and say what we all wanna say when we feel like we keep taking losses I’M EXHAUSTED!”
“Q.Rock639 gives you that TechNine type of vibe. Not in his delivery or sound, but the darkness of the track while still allowing it to be playful. He also shows skill by mixing up the cadences whenever the production he’s going in over changes that’s also a point of appreciation. The beat changes every so often into an almost completely different beat. Yet Q simply goes from flow to flow never budging or lagging.”
“More and more people are introducing themselves and others to therapy, especially among black men. A1 Beanz creates a visual about his thoughts and feeling like he doesn’t have a shoulder to lean on. He admits that throughout his experiences through life it has caused him to need therapy. The visual displays how he expresses everything he has dealt with in his lyrics.”
“Midwest gangsta music. Kut One is literally popping his stuff. Letting you know that he’s not the one to play with both off and on the beat. Aggressive productive with freestyle DJ scratches adding texture to this already hard body Hip-Hop track.”
“Bars on bars. I love the way the production mixed both Jazz elements with the Dj scratching and MC adlibs of early Hip-Hop tunes. The song is reminiscent of when delivering meaningful bars was the main focus of the artist. Brain food for the listener. It’s refreshing to hear Hip- Hop like this in a time where everything is so “shoot em up, bang bang.”
