Proper Einstein sits between two stand out genres. “HipNo” features Mikey Barslow and it comes through, you get a hip hop track that could fare well with a rave crowd. It blends both genres but doesn’t go overboard with either. The rhymes are the hip hop and the beat, pure electronica. Come “Musical Overdose” we get something completely different. Gone are the street ways, and in is a more sci-fi in the 80’s movie feel. We head back to the rap with “Hate Me Or Love Me” and it’s this slick vibe where Proper Einstein comes through like a true wordsmith. In “Late Nights” we travel back to the electronic and travel fast. The pace makes the heart race. If you’re a fan of both hip hop and electronic music - this is the place to be. Proper Einstein has found a way to do both and he makes them both work equally for him. (https://propereinstein.com/)

Kush Koma Entertainment has a lot of talented artists in their roster and they all get to work and do it up. “Hustle” is where we begin with Rick Porter, Project Boi and Shak Taylor. It has a southern feel to it as it has this laid back but hype feel to it with the lyrics coming across in a raspy but melodic way. With “Turn Up” we get a more lively yet aggressive track that you would hear alongside the likes of Lil Wayne on a mixtape. It seems like every time we turn a corner Kush Koma Entertainment is delivering something new. We started out raw, went to the club and are now focusing in on the more heartfelt side with “Hard.” It’s clear that Kush Koma Entertainment has their finger on the pulse of hip hop and come with every type of the genre in their back pocket. If you’re just love rap music, make sure to check in with what Kush Koma Entertainment are working with. (https://www.fukwitmerecords.com)

Preme Dibiasi came from the inner city and rose up to be the man and artist he is today. “Flex Zone” is a great song to put on when reality is getting to you and you need to unwind. You can lose yourself in the words and the sick beat. When it comes to “Drippin,’” this one is more for when you want to get up and move about. Not like in a crazy way, but in a party vibe way. In “Real4eva” the tickling of the notes in the intro intrigue you and make you curious for what’s to come. It’s that suspense that makes this track a stand out. As the songs continue to play, “2NYTE” is a more playful track than the rest and balances out his style. If you’re a fan of artists like Drake and Tyga, check out Preme Dibiasi now.

Many like to pretend they know about hardship to seem like they have an edge, and those people are quite annoying. You know the type, they almost always have a sob story about a divorce when you’re standing there never knowing your dad. Well A.G is an emcee who made me think about that when his “What The Know Bout” blasted through my speakers. It sang that notion loud and proud and it was picture perfect. In reality, that would be all he needed to make his presence known - but lucky for you he has more than that on his plate. The apparent thing about A.G is that his rhymes come out fierce. That was apparent in the first track and even more so in “Pouring The Syrup.” He does however have a soft side and that can be heard in the more romantic, “Can’t Leave You Alone.” If you’re a fan of rappers who keep it real, check out A.G now.

Moneys World’s “Letter to My Savior” is a heartfelt song that combines the artist’s love of rap with his admiration for the man upstairs. It’s a great song that is well produced and really showcases his skill set when it comes to lyrical content. Those who find themselves loving the lord as well as rhymes will love what Moneys World’s is working with when it comes to “Letter to My Savior.” Check it out now and keep up with what’s what when it comes to this rising emcee.

TTwyce is a pair of friends who fell for one another and now they’re taking their great teamwork and putting it to good use with a dynamic you don’t see every day. We’re so used to hearing a rap song with a female singing the hook. Ja Rule and Ashanti scored numerous number one hits with that format. That’s where TTwyce differs. Tameeka Wells actually takes on the rhymes while Terry Haskins gives us a pile of soul. Listeners can hear their unique take on the game with songs like “Equal Justice” as well as “When I’m With You.” They also shine with hits like “What’s The Next Move” and a shout out to the place they call home, “Brooklyn.” Those who love when hip hop meets R&B effortlessly, check out TTwyce today!

Maine showcases that east coast sound with this cascade of tracks. “The Chase” has a really New York in the 90’s, listening to Nas on a mixtape vibe. It’s very chill and straightforward while “2 On” with Ray Reid and Zik has more of a club feel thanks to the beat it encompasses. In “Forbidden Fruit” we head back to where we started and you get that this is an artist with a style that’s really unlike what we’re hearing in today’s music. He’s more throwback. If you’re a fan of rap that is more laid back and chill, check out Maine today. (https://soundcloud.com/maineboo08)

Coming out with “Fuc Da Patron” with Bigg Tiny and his confidant, Gwapdondollasign J Bonafied. This track has club written all over it. It’s not a hype track but it has a love of movement in a chilled way. In “Goin Ham” is the opposite in that it has more energy and the hook could make it perfect for getting turnt. Being from southern California, it’s no surprise Tiny has a joint about it. “California What It Do” has this beat to it that has a wild west feel. It’s subtle but catches your attention as Bigg Tiny lays it down. California natives are all about the state pride and may have a new anthem to stand behind. This is the best we’ve heard him sound and this is the track he could ride to the top. If you’re a fan of hip hop that doesn’t play but is all about a good time, check out Bigg Tiny today.

We start out strong with Devin Roman and his “Bout Dat Action.” It’s a laid back track but it’s the track that keeps on giving in that the quick parts that come in spurts give it some pep and life. In “Da Money” we continue on the same path. It’s clear that this emcee likes to take it slow and doesn’t overdo it. He’s not about the flashy hip hop that’s more so for the jokes in sororities, but more so for the purists that like that true hip hop sound. That’s apparent in everything from “Bossed Up” to “Bandz Shawty” to “Trap House.” If you’re the kind of person who likes your rap served up raw, check out Devin Roman now.

Darkimdadon’s “Ghetto Livin” isn’t what you’d expect. The hip hop of it is much lighter than one would think when it comes to how it starts out. While it starts out light, the imagery and the rhymes that follow are anything but. It really showcases the modern day life for people in America from the #BlackLivesMatter movement to sex workers in the inner city. It’s quite an interesting track with a great message going on. If you like social conscious rap, check out Darkimdadon’s “Ghetto Livin,” out now. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCKGIKNn9yA)

J-Madic is coming at you with a couple of mixtapes and a whole lot of talent. “Guap” is a simple song. It’s not hard to learn and the simplicity of it makes it get stuck at the core of your thoughts but it’s not all about the hook. It actually has some pretty interesting choruses that have meaning. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with this emcee though as he has a couple of mixtapes under his belt like 2014’s “Madication” that features the likes of the very energetic “No More Hold Ups,” the chill ways of “Encore” as well as the hype of “That Guy.” He also has last year’s “Sick” which has an appearance from Star Money on “Oh Me” as well as the freestylings of “Seen It All” and “Real is Back.” If you’re a fan of artists like Juvenile, check out J-Madic and get some.

Phenom puts his heart and soul into everything he does, music included - and it shows. “A Little” opens with clean lines and a slick feel that makes you think, “Why isn’t this on the radio already?” It’s got this hip hop meets pop feel that makes it fit for the mainstream. In “Feels So Nice,” the intro has a throwback to a saloon in the west, but then it comes into modern times with the rhymes. Being a ’90s kid, I really thought this was going to be a cover of Usher’s “U Make Me Wanna.” Instead it was a song all his own. We started off on a high note and that’s where we’re ending with “Beautiful Symphony.” It’s fresh and has this great, light feel to it. It’s the perfect song to get into as the weather starts to warm up. If you’re a fan of hip hop with a mainstream twist, check out Phenom today! (https://www.phenomspe.com/)
