Time for a gangsta groove. “Only thing I wanna do is hustle...” Backed by a jubilant, yet malicious key progression; Nanoon’s new, banging “All I Wanna Do” will undeniably rock your new year. A stark clap cuts into the mix every three steps, adding a rhythm to the 808s and hihats that is utterly irresistible. Nanoon himself is certainly dedicated to turning out an anthem; spitting stories on the mic about his surrounding street life, yet escalating ambition. His rhythmic, narcotic flow seizes the instrumental; and this alone leads to a radio-ready, mainstream-trap hit. Yet, when chaperoned by Nanoon’s lyricism and storytelling, the potential of this record suddenly unfolds. Not only are you getting a club-charged banger from this DMV rapper; but you’re likewise getting a taste of the Washington, DC streets as he knows them. On “All I Wanna Do”, Nanoon holds nothing back. Upon playing this titanic, trap offering, all you are going to want to do is hit repeat; and keep this gangsta groove going as long as you feasibly can.

Repping Spartanburg, South Carolina, rapper Don Smooth’s recent drop, “21 Savage” is a grand-slam of modern, minimal trap music. For two minutes and eleven seconds, you will be warped into a world of turn-up raps and sparse, yet exhilarating percussion. The drum pattern creates this ideal energy for Don Smooth’s lyrics and flow. Between bars regarding his arsenal, and the Spartanburg street life, the southern rapper smoothly bounces along distorted 808s, hi-hats and claps. The absence of a melody leaves plenty of room for Don Smooth to rap circles around his competition; delivering a swift trap anthem. If the music video is of any comparison; throw this record on at your local party, and it is guaranteed to turn the entire room up a notch. Effortlessly, with this new single, “21 Savage”, Don Smooth has put a spotlight on his Spartanburg home. Only a matter of time before the entire state of South Carolina has a new face of trap.

Dynamic duo, Ron Oneal & SV Skee (otherwise known as OandS4ever) strike as new-age progenitors of cocaine rap. They have a repertoire consisting of thumping, drug-induced bangers; and that rep is only magnified with the release of the latest single, “Kilo”. “Kilo” is an ode to hustling; complete with an addictive chorus and narcotic instrumental. 808s slide smoothly across the bassline of this record, surrounded by hats, claps, and a menacing synth-key arrangement. SV Skee, through a syrupy surge of autotune, raps within the hook “They just want the money from the Kilo”, letting you know exactly where his and his brethren’s priorities lie: getting rich. And the only thing more guttural than the ambition for winning, is their delivery on each of their verses. Both emcees attack the beat in a blend of aggressive snarls, and ravenous rapping, showing that this song can not only be felt in the club, but likewise on every block in the country. Especially the Lower East Side, Manhattan ones they hail from. With the way “Kilo” is blowing up thus far, thanks as well to the visual they recently released, these brother New Yorkers are about to find themselves pleasing an entirely different clientele.

A horror movie-esque piano, complimented by an undulating, sub-bass and pad, opens Michigan artist, BRVDFXRD’s, latest offering, “Swurve”. Just as a distorted 808 makes impact, the Detroit emcee launches into a tirade of bars. “Six feet tall, who?” he questions, surfing a smooth, poised flow across waves of hihats and claps. Adlibs lunge up from the depths of the track, adding newfound, crowd-ready energy to the entire record. Albeit, this Midwest spitter’s release makes the most titanic impression in your car, rocking its speakers; it will go equally as crazy during a packed event. Because BRVDFXRD harbors an amazing command of energy. As subtle as he comes across, tossing bars to and fro along this malevolent, trap production, he still manages to create a raging, contagious banger. Detroit has been blazing hot this summer; and “Swurve” kicks the temperature up even further.

On August 16th, back in 2016, a Louisiana singer-songwriter had a brush with death. New Orleans’ own, Mansa Obi’s, story almost ended with a horrific fall from a thirty-five foot height. Yet, as the saying goes, the only thing that can circumvent death is new life; and our creative crooner embellished every ounce of that notion with his latest work of unignorable vitality. Titled “What Matters”, Obi’s latest drop is a four-track reunion with the life he almost lost; and genesis of a new chapter in his artistic parable. 

In every way, “What Matters” is Obi’s heart in audio form. Just as his own refused to quit pumping on the eve of that fateful day, the project pulsates with a consistent tempo of “New Orleans Bounce”. This groove slithers through every beat on the singer’s album, undulating underneath some of the most breathtaking R&B ballads you’ll hear all year. Your soul will be opened by his initial track, “You Remind Me”, which features Obi’s vivacious vocals and disemboweled adlibs flowing freely across a violin-tinged melody. On the record, the Louisianian smolders with infatuation over a particular love interest; letting them know who they remind him of, and exactly what he wants to accomplish for the night. Tracks “Cinderella” and “Now” trail close behind, with the latter being a personal favorite next to the album’s opener. It is a softer record in comparison to its predecessors, featuring Obi singing in a falsetto that will reach deep into that very soul of your’s he opened not too long ago. “Lust” is the final track on the project; and here, he’ll ultimately melt your spirit away; burning with such sultry, and soulful inflection. There are synth stabs and xylophone melodies that season the instrumental, spicing up the man’s vocals even further. Next to his vocals, the sparse production on this album is one of its greatest assets, due to how well it allows Obi’s performance to shine; and showcase his undeniable star power. In 2016, this talented musician took a life-threatening fall. In 2018, he’s landed on the top of underground R&B.

Texan rapper, Kokaine Karter, wants all of us to “HOLL UP” with his latest, enchanting single. Having been born and raised in two separate Lonestar cities, Karter combines the leaned-out, autotune swag of Houston with the grittiness of Dallas, and jumps out that cauldron blazing hot with rhythm and flow.

Featuring guest artist T2, the record is incredibly suited for the club. Its ominous melody, matched with the groove of well-placed kicks and 808s, creates an atmosphere that will have you itching to escape your seat. If that’s not enough, however, his lyrics and flow certainly will be. In smooth breezes of melody and autotune, both artists bless the beat with addictive cadences and street parables. As much as they have indeed crafted a party record, suitable for setting any nightly event on fire, they never abandon their lifestyles. The grittiness of their attitudes and surroundings are matched with the lavishness of their desires, which fuse in a sea of melody and trap verses, to create one, irrefutable banger. “HOLL UP” is an excellent, club-ready release from Kokaine Karter. Makes it impossible to overlook him among the list of Texas’s talented.

"I'm not your regular...don't call me Reggie", words taken from the new hit single "Regular". That describes New York City based hip hop/R&B duo MAJIX (pronounced “magic”) who are set to explode onto the music scene. With the release of their single “Regular ”, Taylor Nirvana Jones and Mea Wilkerson exude the requisite hustle, independence and inyourface confidence that comes along with living in New York City.


It takes endless amounts of creativity and experimentation before chemistry builds and MAJIX is created! These 2 young ladies are powerful. Their new single “Regular” highlights just how special they are. These lyrical songbirds have been putting in work for a strong seven years, originally going by the name Love Jones Girlz before ultimately reinvinting themselves in 2016. “Regular” is an eargasmic fusion of dope trap bars meshed with sensational vocals over a groovy beat produced by VH1's MRose, B3B3, and Genedaox. The genius is in its clever songwriting using a cultural metaphor to set themselves apart from the rest. MAJIX's unique abilities confirm that they are not regular and their impact wont be either. 


Taylor and Mea recently shared their journey and talked about the new single during a recent interview. Enjoy “Regular” and follow the growing MAJIX movement today.

Remember the excitement you felt when you 1st heard artists like Future, Migos, or Lil Uzi Vert? Well, let me introduce you to the future of flex,Stash Guapo. On-the-verge artist, Stash Guapo's latest single “Praedam” has a far out new age feel. Overall, it is a very melodic and chill song that brings a real wavy vibe. Stash has an unique way of using his rap/sing combo and audio effects to get the message across. His lyrics embody a rap/hood culture style, but are delivered in a therapeutic singing manner. For sure, this is a song to mellow out for a sec and catch a smooth wave. 

Stash Guapo was born in NYC, but with this track, he has definitely embodied the Cali atmosphere, where he currently resides. Surprisingly, he has only been making music seriously for a year now, seems like his New York hustle will continue to push him to new heights! Enjoy “Praedam” and join Stash Guapo's growing movement today!

Ginger Bread Man is back at it with another single, “What The Business Is” in which he goes all in while the transitions accelerate towards a haunting instrumental that’s complimented by deafening beats. From a stylistic perspective, the track has balance that’s inspired by modern trap sounds such as “SurfClub”, amngst other tracks that are melodically driven, while he takes the listener into introspection mode. Tank Nitti also comes through as his skill set shines stupendously.

I must acknowledge that I enjoyed the vocal tone and structure, part of what I think makes Ginger Bread Man a dynamic artist. At some point, I felt like he’s somewhat transcendent talented. Couple that with the production which pulsates with futuristic pop, electronic and trap elements blended into a perfect work of art. The track leaves me with a taste of a seasoned artist who’s about to make an articulation of rap star’s lifestyle.
