Hip hop is an art. Art is to be marveled and revered years beyond its creation. Chekk Famous is a true artist who is creating lyrical masterpieces. In 2008 on the westside of Chicago, Chekk Famous and his team created a work of art that has touched the minds and souls of many. That work of art was the start of one of the worlds most recognized DJ collectives, Blok Club DJ's. That work of art is called "Masterpiece Theatre".
This classic album features an array of content that covers the board from turn up, party tracks like "Sweep The Floor" to interpersonal tunes like "Thinking of You" where Mr. Famous takes a minute to speak to his daughter. Chekk goes from track to track displaying a level of lyricism matched by few. On tracks like "Ain't Impressed" Chekk separates himself from the competition with flames like "This is not your average jibber jab and rhetoric." The album feature incredible production from Slot A, Byron 'Bang' Walker, and Jaywan Beats provides a little more distance from Chekk Famous and the rest of the crowd. If you want to know how to "turn poetry into profit", I suggest you grab a copy of Masterpiece Theatre, listen and learn.
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.
April 9, 2018 (Seattle, Washington) - Seattle rapper, Huey P continues to drop new music for his listeners. Today, Huey P drops a new visual, “Not Taday”, which is directed by Steve Arcenio.
Northwest artist "Huey P" is a great young talent raised in the Tacoma/Seattle of Washington State. Huey immersed himself in the sights and sounds of the emerald city. A storyteller to his very core, Huey began rhyming as a way to tell the world about his experiences as a young man striving to succeed. After teaming up with Tjyolo Ent., Huey began to hone his skills on the local concert circuit opening up for many well-known artists that came through the Washington State area as well as headlining shows of his own. Catching the eye of "DJ VIP" of Nipsey Hussles "All Money In" Family, Huey recorded an EP with the Los Angeles Dj titled "Did You Get The Message" The project was met with enthusiasm from the hip hop fans. Eager to continue the momentum , Huey recorded a Mixtape with DJ Drama and enlisted cameo appearances from "Ty Dolla $ign", Tory Lanez, Cassidy and J. Winans.
“Somehow impact and influence the culture in such a way that it influences our younger generation to keep influencing the right things; positive things, positive messages and glorify the right things.”
Not Today video opens up with Huey P passing his lady a stack of money while she counts it in disbelief. “We just tryin’ make it so that we can take it out the country.” Huey zips through traffic in his red Benz with wifey, stunting on anyone who didn’t believe in his goals and making an everlasting impression to his lady. “I do what I want and you can accompany me”. All of the work he has been putting into his career, he did it all for his wifey and the Devil himself couldn’t stop him from reaching his goal.
The name is SONIwithanEYE, don't wear it out! Born and raised in Queens, NY, Soni was put on this earth to sing. Both her parents being musicians, it wasn't long before she discovered her talents. It all started in church, singing in the choir during her time as a catholic school girl. Soon enough, she found the same success with piano and guitar, and the combination lured her into the world of songwriting and performing. Her palette grew in a wide variety of ways, taking akin to everything from Led Zepplin and The Beatles to Michael Jackson and Madonna.
With such an eclectic musical landscape, she's coined a term for her all-encompassing sound: Hip-Rock. What exactly does Hip-Rock sound like? Soni spells it out for us in her angst-ridden new single, "REBEL". Channeling her strong personality and endless swagger, "REBEL" is a declaration of independents for the vengeful youth. In the field of production, there is a fusion of organic instruments and tasteful sampling which attracts a natural crossover between underground and mainstream art. Featuring a boot-stomping beat, raunchy guitar riffs, and a sultry yet soulful vocal performance, Soni has crafted a teen anthem with a yin/yang feel that is key to her quintessential Hip-Rock sound.
The "REBEL" music video serves as the perfect visual representation for the track. Soni's dominant female presence is sewn into its fabric with the help of her female-only cast. Her crew struts down the block with gang-like intensity, physically obliterating anything that stands in the rebels' path. As the lead single and title-track off her upcoming debut album, Soni is sure to turn heads with "Rebel" at the helm.
Joshua da MC 23 yrs old Italian/Jamaican descent from Broward County Fl. I've been a student of Hip-Hop for as long as I can remember, and writing in general. I love that rap has become a blend of all of these different styles, and that more and more we're seeing fans of rock, pop, R&B, etc. become artists that further diversify the brand. And I just want my chance to be one of those pioneers—if not of Hip-Hop in-general, then our new school, and music as a whole. This Art-form is my passion; I hope I can share that energy that drives me with others.
This ain't just another EP.. this is a movement! An event of epic new wave hiphop, soul and alternative R&B music on display! Splash!! Fall in... XNDRSOUND and beatmaker, Humbeats mean business on a well-thought out, creative, work of art, that stands out within only 4 tracks. Read more in the press release below and follow the movement asap.
"October's Eve is the second EP by artist XNDRSOUND. The follow-up to his debut EP September is a 4-track project produced exclusively by Humbeats. XNDRSOUND brings a mix of dark, R&B, down-tempo tracks and a creates a mood throughout the project. Sticking to the theme of autumn and his breakout single Paranormal, the project starts with Very Scary a brief two minute intro about XNDR's experience with the energy of other artists in the scene. 95 is a single style track with is uptempo and a bit out of character but provides a necessary boost in energy to an otherwise mellow project. Cnflctd is an introspective R&B where XNDR questions a relationship he once had that he was sure to last that has now fallen into disarray. Takeoff, the outro looks to solidify XNDR's confidence in himself and his team."
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. For 23 year old super talent Pariyah, Karma is best served through a couple of sixteens and a hook. The Norfolk, Virginia do it youself native wears many hats to see his vision through. He is the label head at Langley Jourdain Records which he established in 2017. The self described loner and outcast, hence the name, also engineers and produces his own work, so saying the multi talented rapper has an ear for music is an understatement.
Pariyah is back this time around with his new single "Karma" and he is speaking to anyone who has gone through a bitter break up. The up tempo, guitar laced, oh how the tables have turned anthem is reminiscent of Kanye West in the 808 and Heartbreak days, gives off a great vibe as you listen and get over your former love. The seven year vet shows that what goes around truly comes back around and a little heartache can bring out much greatness in you.
Florida has been a hot bed for hip hop talent recently, led by Kodak Black and XXXTentacíon. Since, we've seen a number of new artists emerge out of south Florida and may be looking at the next phenomenon. KV Infinity, sliding onto the music scene out of Hallandale, Fla. is a six member group(LimboKV, LunaryKV, ManiiKV, NintiKV, VozziKV, and YoungkikeKV) looking to take the game by storm with their new single "Candy." The song has a nice jazzy groove, but still knocks coming through your speakers that will have your head bobbing uncontrollably. The track, which was produced by the groups own ManiiKV also has a catchy hook that you'll find yourself singing hours after the is over. KV Infinity's unity and crew love for one another puts me in the mind of other mega groups like ASAP Mob and Odd Future. "Candy" is the first single off of their upcoming mixtape, INFINITY and if it is any indication of what we can expect from this squad, I'd imagine they will develop a cult core like the aforementioned groups in no time.
Bigg’s new album “All Out” is coming in hot with more than 27 tracks from this self-produced Vietnamese artist. I must admit that the intro will not only capture your admiration but you’ll instantly recognize the suave persona and easy-going flow that Bigg is offering. There’s a particular track that will probably get Bigg finessing to the top charts, and that’s “Kanye East” the smooth yet seductive hard beats compliment the elaborate rhyming style. It’s hard to believe that this is the first album that Bigg has produced. This is because of the crazy never-seen-before ingenuity and lyrical capabilities. Bigg plans to unleash the full album to all streaming platform on 10/04/2018. In the meantime, you don’t want to miss out on his Official Music Video for one of his single "Lowkey Stunning" as we anticipate the release. This album is authentic and it blends very well with the flawless production of Rap/EDM/Hip Hop recording artist & music producer, Bigg. Straight Outta Hai Noi in Vietnam, the shocking lyrical imagery that this guy possesses is impressive.
In today's hip hop world, a song is not usually a hit without a dance to go along with it. Songs like Soulja Boy's "Crank That" or 3rd Flo "Do the Heisman" are pioneers and standout tracks amongst many in the song and dance era of hip hop. Many of those artists became one hit wonders while others prove that they can last the test of time. The Official GS Boyz or more explicitly known as the G Spot Boyz have proven to be part of the latter. In 2008, the GS Boyz gave us two smashes out of the gate. The Arlington, Texas natives formed the group in 2005 independently and three years and over 1 million records sold later, they were receiving interest from industry big dogs like RCA and Sony.
Now, the GS Boyz are back after a brief hiatus with their new single "Off Top." "Off Top" is a different sound from when we last heard the group, but packs the same anthem potential. The hard slapping bass quakes through you speakers, making it very easy to vibe to. The song has a catchy sing a long hook that will keep you singing it hours after the song has ended, with sharp lyrical verses to make "Off Top" a complete hit.
Official GS Boyz recently shared their moments from the making of the song with USA Blog Network's interview series. Fall into the new hit "Off Top" and checkout the interview today!

The pulsating, wah-wah texture, that is the feel you get from listening to this track; like someone just harnessed an electrical current to your heart. You will be enchanted by the way Rayne throws himself all-in as he offers a mystifying glance of heartache and its repercussions.

This final product is sublimated into a complex groove that unifies the different perspectives in the world. Subliminal has unleashed this with the sole intention of preaching acceptance, unity, and connection.
The video was shot in Cape Town, South Africa and there is something novel about its build that surpasses the melodic and charismatic approach; it gives hope and optimism. This will go a long way in boosting Subliminal’s career and you might see him churn hit after hit.
