New-age anthem "H.A.P.P.Y. M.O.N.E.Y" is a dream-like journey through the mind of unique thinker and recording artist, Dave Tendo. The track begins with fun and light harmonies, then transitions into a hard hitting baseline as Dave spits an animated rap. This hustler's anthem is a dope mixture of genres all to the glorification of the almighty dollar. Read more about Dave Tendo's story and enjoy the tunes.
Bio:
He began doing music at the age of 15, discovering many artists that would greatly inspire him from Michael Jackson, George Duke to Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. He now writes, records and produces his own music in the comfort of his bedroom.
Sometimes you instantly recognize a rarity, sometimes you confuse that rarity with another that you may have heard or seen before. Sidthatsit is a rarity. His music is straight out of house Kanye and Cudi built with a very Rap Noir(if thats not a thing it is now) sound. The Chicago kid gifts 2018 with his new Album bLACK eGG. The project consists of nine incredible tracks. It is a very impressive work of art from top to bottom. The content, production, and arrangement of this project are absolutely on point. bLACK eGG is full of tales of ambition, depression, drug experimentation, and heartache. It is a great fusion of uptempo head banging slappers and dark melodic ballads. Off of the top of my head this album gives me that Kanye West 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' or Travis Scott 'Before the Rodeo' feel. I see a dark(pun intended) career ahead for this future star. Afterall, Sidthatsit is a rarity. As rare as an bLACK eGG.
This is a dope love song! On-the-verge artist, KVNE, delivers the perfect blind of R&B and new age hiphop with his new lover's anthem "Make Me Better". Listen as he rides a smooth trap influenced beat harmonizing about the special girl in his life. Read the press release below and follow KVNE's growing movement today.
Canadian RnB and Urban Pop artist, Kevin Edworthy, musically known as KVNE, is thrilled to announce the release of his first single “Make Me Better”. Produced by PDUB, the artist’s new single promises to pair his soulful lyrics with intricate R&B melodies, accompanied by the sounds of classic 808 trap. With previous hits including, “On the Rise”, “Hush and Moan”, “I’m Loving’ It (ft. Brae)”, and “Late Nights”, KNVE proves his musical mastery by writing, recording and mixing his own content. With a new single and more music on the way, KVNE is determined to spread his music to listeners around the world. KVNE’s new R&B crossover single, ‘Make Me Better’, is the most fan relatable piece he has ever produced. Touching on growth and vulnerability in relationships, Kevin recognizes the importance of relatability in music today, as he writes about a connection amongst two people close to him. He aims to create true, heartfelt connections between his music and audiences.
Music is a universal language. One that mythically transcends most national and societal boundaries normally unbroken on planet Earth. If you want a beautiful, polarizing example of this concept, look no further than award-winning, Cameroonian emcee, Vocaliz, and his eclectic 12-track opus, “Afrikan in New York”. “Afrikan in New York” is in all ways Vocaliz’s “break-out” album; his solo debut apart from Ghanian producer, Afana. It is an evolution on the artist’s signature sound: marrying African sonics with Urban inflections. The record kicks off with a title track that features rhythmic, tropical marimbas, backed by a scorching clap and thunderous 808s. One thing Vocaliz makes certain on this track is that his national pride will never die; setting the tone of African conceptuality and confidence for the rest of the album. This similar sentiment is echoed on a personal favorite, “Oh Na Na” a reggae-esque anthem whose main beat-break is a loop of organic, hip-hop drums. It is in these moments on the album where his Brooklyn basis shines. Tracks such as “At the Speed of Love” (another favorite), “May Be”, and “We Up” (another favorite) have a pristine, Golden Era hip-hop tonality to them; while the tracks succeeding them are much more modern and “trap” in expression.
As the only rapper on the entire album, Vocaliz phenomenally brings something new and refreshing to each and every beat he spits on. Whether its afrobeat, reggae, boom-bap or trap, this Cameroon-born, Brooklyn-based emcee attacks the music wholeheartedly; able to bend and maneuver his accent to suit and emphasize some already remarkable bars. When it comes to his sound, Vocaliz proves on this astounding debut that he has conquered it; and the universal language of music is yet another one he’s doubtlessly mastered. Vocaliz his recent shared his journey with TheDopeness interview series. Enjoy “Afrikan in New York” and join Vocaliz's growing movement today!
"Gotta hustle everyday, thats all I know—" rings like a mantra on the hook of Los Angeles rapper, RAJ WILL’s, latest, titanic single “Hustle”. This Chris Beach-produced banger has all the makings of an anthem: rhythmic flow, chantable chorus, quotable lyrics and a bouncy, trap beat. “Hustle” begins with a progression of hazy, atmospheric chords, fulfilled by a prancing, futuristic synth. These provide the melodic canvas for the beat; and soon after their introduction, a pattern of drums is splattered onto the portrait. The drums are upbeat and conventional; evidence that Beach is skilled at tailoring a simple, yet infectious vibe. What happens next is evidence WILL, our rapper, is skilled at everything else needed for a national, Hip-Hop hit. The West Coast spitter hits the beat running, dropping lyrical jewels in a flurry of conversational rhymes. "Quality over the quantity, and clarity over stupidity—" he raps smoothly within his first verse, showing just how little he cares about wordplay or metaphors.
What RAJ WILL cares most about is spitting with poise and sending a message. That message is to "Make a couple stacks, spend a bit / Make it right back, that’s without a doubt—". If ever you are feeling unmotivated, no matter your profession, throw on this two minute, Billboard-ready single and you are guaranteed to bounce right back to that “Hustle” you do so well.
You don't want any static with Warchyld and his new single "No Trouble" is a not-so friendly reminder. The philly emcee is veteran in this game who has been making waves for almost a decade and he has no signs of slowing down.

Although the instrumental may be trap-inspired, Warchyld still brings a raw hip-hop essence from a lyrical perspective. Warchyld is a warrior and his documentary "The Price of Fame" does a great job of capturing that, as well as his music. Check out "No Trouble" below and watch "The Price Of Fame" for the full spectrum on Warchyld.
The new song "That's How I Roll (T.H.I.R)" by artist, Nuzician is a classic and much desired break that the music industry needs. The single has a new-age vibe and a dope summer bounce with a very similar tempo as other popular hits of today like Migos “Walk It Talk It”. Atlanta producer, Eva J's club-ready 808 bass line and trap-influenced percussions, makes the soundtrack definitely one to add to your party line up! It brings not only words and music but life to the hearts of listeners.

With each and every passing year, Canada proves itself as a force to be reckoned with. It has birthed some of the most prolific and talented mainstream artists, whose crossover has dominated American airways. Singer/rapper, Grand Fisher, is no exception to this paradigm; and with his debut EP, “Real Friends”, he proves just how poised he is to take every dancefloor on the continent by storm.
The production on this album is grandiose and electric; surging with techno-like basslines and vibrant, pop synths. Coupled with the groove of their pounding, syncopated percussion, even the slightest shuffle to these beats becomes eerily irresistible. Your hips will get away from you; and if you were not at a rave or nightclub already, this chromatic, EDM instrumentation will make you wish you had been. Instead of upstaging his production with brash, overbearing vocals, Fisher bounces beautifully between the foreground and background of the music. When the Ontario artist sings and harmonizes on tracks such as “Better As Friends”, “Boy Bye” and “Ghosted”, his voice, dripping with autotune, is pushed to the zenith of the mix; where it is most powerful and reviving. When he raps on those same tracks, his voice blends flawlessly into his production, and he himself becomes an extension of the very music he's flowing on. All in all, this project is a creative, club-ready debut; and if artists like Drake. Justin Bieber and The Weekend have opened the door for potential Canadian popstars, Grand Fisher will most certainly be stepping through.
Kaio Kane gets star-studded features on his latest single "100 Racks" produced by 360 Bangerz. "100 Racks" includes a feature from Lil Baby, who may be one of the hottest rappers in the game right now after dropping his critically acclaimed Harder Than Ever project last month. LouGotCash also makes an appearance and continues to remind us that he is much more than a one-hit-wonder. Despite having two bonafide stars on this record and a standout instrumental from 360 Bangerz, Kaio Kane still steals the show and reminds everyone whose single it is. Check out "100 Racks" below and look for Kaio Kane to be mentioned amongst the Lil Baby's of the world in the near future.

Oregon emcee Alec Bolen's "Rosewater" EP was a full year in the making. The concept behind the project follows the story of a young man who meets and falls in love with a girl. The record then proceeds to go through the different phases of their relationship. Alec displays the sides of relationships that the ego exaggerates such as love, lust and infatuation. Bolen's creative process for the album was a bit unorthodox but a formula the budding lyricist fares quite well doing. The EP title, tracklisting and all beats were selected prior to the writing of it. The instrumentals selected are all in the ultra chilled lane. "Rosewater" is an album that caters to both Hip Hop enthusiasts and couples. Brud Giles recorded and mixed the project at Fremont Recording and Dana White from Specialized Mastering mastered everything.
"This album has been an elevating experience for me in every aspect for me as an artist. From song-writing to branding, this record is my first official release tha'ts mine and that, from me, is a statement saying “I’m here”. I’m not just trying to make music, I’m really trying to take this to the next level."
Seven tracks in total and containing the lead single "Autumn to Winter", Alec Bolen strays from the over-saturated turn up type of music. His laid back voice lays well over the beats choices. After a few spins thru, "Rosewater" has more than one main meaning behind it. After further examination, the meaning takes on a triple entendre that listeners need to decipher themselves. Quench your love thirst with a healthy dose of "Rosewater" on Spotify then stick around to view the official video behind "Autumn to Winter" following.
Chi-town representative Jewleyouse Merances shows out for his city on his rendition of "This Is America" the viral sensation from Childish Gambino. "THIS IS CHICAGO" gives a little twist to the narrative and narrows the focus to Jewleyouse realities. Jewleyouse takes a more aggressive approach than Gambino, which is only fitting when considering the chaotic nature of his city. He also gets a feature from KS who brings that same energy as well. Although this is a great remix from Jewleyouse, he has plenty of original music on his Soundcloud and has a very diverse catalog that should not be ignored. Check out "THIS IS CHICAGO" below and look out for more from Jewleyouse coming soon.
