“There’s a funny thing with music sometimes where it’s not always about whats being said but how it makes you feel and this record got me felling myself! Dripping in swagger and the type of cool only your older cousin seems to have, 2-6 and Curren$y trade fly bar after fly bar dripped in southern drawl and audio molasses. I think I just found the new pre-game anthem. ”
“The production on this record is so hypnotic and effortless. Vent’s lyrics are equally as effortless as he oozes cool and lyrical prowess. This record feels like 1:13 am driving home after getting that first kiss you’ve been waiting for. Windows down, wind in your face... just cool.”
“This brings back memories of when soft rock/pop style music was a thing. This song is just a great song. The tone of B00sted’s vocals. The chill constant patter of the drums. The smooth sway of the guitar jamming out. This is a feel good song. A song to start any morning off set the mood for a good day. This is a smash. Billboard style hit.”
“Sometimes you hear a track that is so well written and on point you wonder why it too so long to hear those thoughts expressed. Such is the case with ‘Therapy Or A Bottle,’ a track that is real and gritty in every way.
The flow is delivered with a unique tone and arrangement and it emotes the passions in every line. Most of us have faced the decision to self medicate or turn to a professional for help. that is what this track is about and it hits home.”
“An ice-cold soul sample, gritty drums, Raekwon AND Westside on the same record what more could you ask for? Both Emcees bars are razor sharp and NappyHigh chopped the **** out of that sample. If this is any indication Nappy’s LP ‘Menace’ is about to be a masterpiece. ”

“Mickey’s Nightclub feels like riding in old school Impala but at the same time you’re wading through molasses. The sample is so syrupy and just pulls you under. The flows are laidback but still have fire and passion. ”
“Sometimes you just wanna ride around with your homies and feel like the s*** and nobody can tell you a thing. On Purpose reminds me of feeling invincible with your homies... feeling like the world is still your oyster. It doesn’t sound jaded. Its mean yes but still optimistic. Now excuse me while I cruise around LA to this with the homies. ”
“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. ”
