‘Slredd’ releases bouncy summer R&B banger ‘’No Breaks’’ ft ‘Abksa’

Taken off ‘Chicken Chase Vol 1’ from the Mi Hustle Entertainment label with fellow indie artist ‘Abksa’, ‘’No Breaks’’ is a bouncy track to inspire us to reach for our dreams and not let go, despite the obstacles that ghetto life brings at times. 

The beat is swag-full of flavour, ‘Slredd’ slays with her flow and lyrics that say that she means business now. She is tired of the haters and just wants to do her thing- making money is her only aim now. Extra motivated, you can hear that she is ready to explode music-wise. 

‘Abksa’ complements the song perfectly. Keeping everything in rhythm during the chorus, he sings about similar things to his partner and visualises being in Thailand and also speaks about the pain of ducking and dodging the grave. Growing up in the projects is no cake walk and one must be tough.

Let’s see how the rest of 2020 goes and whether these two can keep on pushing and get that breakout track. ‘’No Breaks’’ is a good song and pushes them up the ranks. 

Hear this song now and get in the mood.

Sam-r shows up with strong and smart rap chops on new track Mine

Toronto-based rapper and hip-hop artist Sam-r has released new track ‘Mine’. 

Originally hailing from Syria, this Toronto based rapper doesn’t provide the typical kinds of sounds you’d associate with the Toronto scene – instead his style is much closer to the likes of Kota the Friend over the likes of Tory Lanez. And with the release of ‘Mine’, Sam-r comes strong with his delivery and is able to swerve effortlessly between multi-syllabic inter rhymes to staccato hits on the beat to provide an impeccably strong piece of conscious work with a bounce that helps it feel modern, fresh and enjoyable. 

If you’re a fan or independent, streetwise hip-hop with intelligent overtures and production that doesn’t overpower the content – Sam-r’s ‘Mine’ should definitely be on your new release hip-hop playlist.

You can check out ‘Mine’ on Sam-r’s Spotify page here.

Atlanta Rapper/Producer ‘Yahchi B’ drops visuals for his self-assured‘’Quarantine Freestyle’

‘’I’m not your boyfriend, bae or anything in between.’’ Sending a message to the ladies in his life, ‘Yahchi B’ is quite fine with being single right now as he is on a quest for global respect and recognition. 

Heavily influenced by Nas, Outkast, Tupac, Rakim, Eminem, and Kanye West, you can feel the old school style in his lyrical delivery. He mixes in his own new school style while on the mic and the results are quite impressive.

Formerly from the Bronx in New York, ‘Yahchi B’ made the move from his roots a few years ago and this change seems to have paid off. New York is a great city but it is easy to get lost in the suffocating environment of NYC Hip Hop. His style fits the more relaxed but music-crazy South USA.

In the Hip Hop game since 2012, this veteran rapper & self-produced artist has amassed quite a good following since his debut. A very confident Emcee, his flow is impressive, the beat real fly and with a summer time/chill by the pool with your bikini or swim shorts on energy to it.

Queens Emcee ‘Del’ busts through the front door with outstanding debut ‘’Sunnyside Freestyle’’

‘’We ready to get it on. I’m the self acclaimed prophecy.’’ Is there a new force in New York Hip Hop?

Sunnyside in Queens, NYC Emcee ‘Del’ is on a mission. He believes he is the best. Wayne Brady good. This guy can rap and shows the world his mad skills on a dope beat. This is proper Hip Hop, Queens style.

‘’I need three girls at all times/Like the motherfucking power puffs’’. “Del’’ has clever wordplay up his sleeve and this is a prime example. So many Emcee’s ramble about the same thing but not this artist. He has a vivid imagination and vision, something you can’t teach.

With more tracks like ’’Sunnyside Freestyle’’, ‘Del’ is unlikely to be lonely at night. A fairly new addition to the legendary New York music scene, he smashes through to demand respect on this single and will surely break out soon. He is too good not to.

Being a new artist, I am intrigued to see what comes next, who he collabs with and how this fantastic talent evolves. Hip Hop is in a good place with ‘Del’ and long may this journey continue. 

Stream Del from your favorite platform.

High rising young Emcee BG Scott debuts with ‘’You Can Say’’

‘’I gave this all my all, I’m waiting on this call.’’ Giving it 100% is all anyone can ask for and sometimes we just need a little bit of luck, to take things to the next level. BG wants this to work out real bad and speaks on this topic via his debut music release- ‘’You Can Say’’.  

Introducing, ‘BG Scott’ who is 19 years old and is straight outta Lynchburg, Virginia in the USA. Inspired by his brother to get into music, this young Emcee must just be patient, ignore the haters and just make good music. 

This is a good start to his music career, the production is tight and his voice comes across well. A lot of Emcee’s struggle with this and mumble a lot. While at times popular, that kind of style will never be timeless.

Let’s see what ‘BG Scott’s’ next music sounds like. I’m sure that it will be really good. He wants to be huge in the game so it’s bound to be a motivated song. 

In this game, motivation is exactly the attitude you need.

Indie Emcee straight outta Detroit JASHAR drops ‘’Bait’’

Tired of watching other rappers drinking their fame, talent and money away, ‘JASHAR’, is creating his own way. He is building his own lane and driving right in the middle. That’s the way to do it and he must be admired for this method, no longer relying on labels- he is now fully independent.  

‘JASHAR’ has also gone on tour in 2017 with the likes of Def Jam and Platinum recording artist ‘M City JR’. Between all streaming music giants, JASHAR has been streamed 100,000 times. A very impressive number.

‘’Bait’’ is the 2nd release from 2020 and it follows ‘Quarantine: The Beat Tape’, an 8 track EP. ‘JASHAR’ has only been in the game for a few years and shows loads of potential. I’m keen to see how his sound develops and if he can move to the top of the pile in a crowded genre.

‘JASHAR’s notable early career has included opening performances for both the ‘Ying Yang Twins’ and the ‘Motorcity Gumball’. Let’s see what 2021 brings for this up and coming rapper, it could be a good year.

In a mixture of hip hop and EDM, American creator MAZEMENT drops his new track Closed Doors – featuring The Real DMT

https://soundcloud.com/mazementmusic/closed-doors-feat-the-real-dmt/s-DRsFr5xvfSR

Coming out as a DJ, hip hop artist and songwriter, American creator MAZEMENT drops his new track Closed Doors, featuring The Real DMT.

The word creator perfectly suits MAZEMENT! Starting off with DJing at a very young age, MAZEMENT took on poetry as his main form of expression, poetry that later became the foundations of his first music efforts. He didn’t give in to hip hop entirely though, but decided to experiment with different genres and blendings to develop his style, which happened when he was introduced to EDM. Apparently, the key to his current style lies in the mixture of controversial lyrics, hip hop beats, and percussive electronics.

You can easily tell MAZEMENT has talent as a lyricist and club music producer – he was still born a DJ after all, which endows him with incredible stage presence.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Nas, 2pac, and with Eminem-like grit in the vocals, Closed Doors is an energizingly authentic and true rap, hip hop, trap single that will make MAZEMENT stand out from his peers for good.

Head over to Soundcloud and listen to Closed Doors along with the artist’s other efforts.

L33 will give you something to cry about on this emotional expulsion of a track

Sonically and thematically L33 pays tribute to forebears like the late Lil’ Peep, unafraid to look inward and face some demons. Join L33 as he raps of a world coming undone, and find some solace in the glitzy, sleek production and his measured voice. Despite the widescreen aspirations of the accompanying music video, there’s a confrontational intimacy to L33’s latest that is sure to raise some hairs on the back of your neck.

Blast this from your car speakers as you’re heading down the road into an uncertain future—and feel good about it.

Produced by YTZ Records, The Get Back is the latest effort by Aykay & Fatboy

In a slightly old-school kind of atmosphere, The Get Back is the latest effort by Aykay & Fatboy produced by YTZ Records.

Coming in at only 2:34 and leading in with that opening classic piano melody we’ve often heard in similar acts, the track presents a cleverly minimalistic sound with skinny beats and attenuated synths that gently interlace and build a placid loop. Rap bars and vocal overdubs interact in a rhythmic exchange, producing a consistently chill flow.

Nobody argues against a magic touch of authenticity as the style of the track swings between a 90’s rap vibe and contemporary hip hop beats, a combination that many of the current major acts look forward to and try to recreate. It’s the sort of vintage rap that gives out good vibrations besides explicit content or excessive percussive sounds. This demonstrates that Aykay & Fatboy know their way into the music scene, and they’ll certainly get back with more successful projects.

Head over to Youtube and hit play on The Get Back.
