California to its core, “Clownin’” by Lil Scotty P is a speaker-shaking banger. It is the Lancaster rapper’s debut single for 2019, threaded with a new-age, West Coast charisma. Roaring, distorted 808s boom across “Clownin’”; adding fuel to the sinful melody, pattering hihats, and Golden state claps on the record. This beat proves to be the perfect plate on which Lil Scotty P can devour his competition. He unleashes a ravenous, high-energy delivery coupled with an unorthodox flow through “Clownin’”. A Californian pain is easily detectable in the West Coast rapper’s inflection. Each bar on his latest release comes from a place of trial and tribulation in the Lancaster streets; energized by the stories and references Lil Scotty P makes to his SoCal lifestyle. Just as Lil Scotty P remains true to the city that bred him, “Clownin’” remains true to the West Coast Hip-Hop sound; all the while putting its creator in a league of his own.

“Sugar water, no koolaid in sight...” For any one well acquainted with living in urban, American poverty, these bars will shake a part of your soul. Although their rapper, LOF BOSSGHETTO, delivers them in s suave, autotuned blur, they pack a poignant punch. Such is the trend for many bars in the New York spitter’s recent release, “94”: an open-hearted, modern-trap hit produced by DJ FLII. The record is precursed by a sorcerous surge of ambiance and keys, which are eventually satisfied by the boom of a pristine 808. A snare backed by hi-hats and a sparkling triangle complete the beat; and once so, LOF BOSSGHETTO is free to glide. He wastes no time on “94”, hitting the mic with an undying fire the moment he hops on. Rhymes regarding his trauma and suffering, deaths of his mother and friends, and the crushing drug addiction of his father are plenty on the Tacoma-based artist’s new track. Despite how calm he is, you can feel the pain in LOF BOSSGHETTO’s voice, and it is inexorably moving. It wrenches you deeper into his story; until you, yourself, feel hurtfully apart of it. You have never felt agony like you will on “94”; and you will never hear another artist put pain together so pleasantly unless the talented LOF BOSSGHETTO is involved.

If their group name is any indication, the “Reign Gang” collective is poised to crush and conquer the next wave of Hip-Hop. And if this titanic single, “Kheat Kode”, is any indication; the group has a hidden diamond just waiting to jewel their crown. That diamond is Brooklyn rapper, AM Brince; and on this trap tirade, he shines brighter than he has have ever before! The track begins with an ambient, apparition-like synth pad, that is only broken by the tap of a hat. Briskly, our artist follows the percussion; coming in with repetitive, hype-building ad-libs. It doesn't take long for us to see exactly what he was building towards, either. Suddenly, a powerful 808 rocks the mix, and we are catapulted into Brince's world of rhymes and mayhem. Accompanied by the snap of a snare, Brince fully embellishes street life with raw, unforgiving, gangsta rap. What the Brooklyn emcee aims to get across on this record is that he is a different breed: not one to be toyed with or underestimated. So long as he never runs dry of pride or passion, and always has a pen to express himself, AM Brince won't need a “Kheat Kode” to break into this rap game; becoming the next great thing New York has to offer.
