So Flawless breathes new life into RnB Hip Hop with ‘She Don’t Wanna’ featuring Izzy Locks

So Flawless (AKA Denis Dimitrijevic) has become somewhat of a Hip Hop legend for his contributions to the genre in recent years. The Sydney, Australia artist and producer has worked with the biggest names in the industry, now, he’s set to put his own in lights through hot drops such as “She Don’t Wanna”.

So Flawless teamed up with Izzy Locks to tell that age-old boy-meets-girl tale. But with their fresh sound which finds a way to squeeze new flavour from 808s by pairing the beats with ambient atmospheric tones, you’ve never heard the story unfold quite like this before.

Right from the intro, you’re assured that So Flawless delivers straight from the soul. Their humility-soaked lyrics fall into the perfect flow to make sure that they implant in your mind while the textured instrumentals throw everything from funked-up guitars to hammering Drill beats your way.

You can check out She Don’t Wanna for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.

QL waxes lyrical in their latest Hip Hop call to arms “Chasing Stars”

‘Chasing Stars’ is the newest release from Hip Hop artist QL, a new name coming out of the Vancouver music scene, featuring vocals from Marietta Prod and produced by Anno Domini. From their debut album ‘HearAfter’, ‘Chasing Stars’ is both a call to arms and statement of intent, the rolling piano part and Prod’s vocal carrying the melody behind QL’s self-deprecating rap and beats.

Sure, there’s an obvious Eminem comparison to QL’s lyrics and delivery, and overall there’s a subtle Black Eyed Peas vibe to the track, but neither of those observations is intended as a criticism, more an indication of the strength of the track; this is great, lyrical hip hop that really does deserve a listen. And then several more.

Check out QL on Facebook and YouTube.
