Michigan’s Ceo Carter is dishing out something quite different on his latest, “iCeo.” Starting out with the title track, he doesn’t miss a beat as he approaches the mic with an intensity and a fervor. Right after that “F**k Ya Mean” comes through with a drama building intro that finally comes through with a lot of attitude and a fine line paying homage to Gary Coleman’s best. Flint Po hops on “My Mind” and together they give that same attitude as the last but are more raw with it. Towards the end if “iCeo” we hear that familiar drama as “Come Up” starts, as things come to a close with a piano driven “Confessions.” This record is solid if you’re a fan of hip hop that takes an alternative route, check out Ceo Carter’s “iCeo,” now. It just dropped, so it’s hot off the presses and ready to go. (https://ceocarter.bandcamp.com/)

Lady Panth3r has a double dose for you as she just wants to “Satisfy You” with her first. It comes at you in the same vein that Ciara and Rihanna’s music do, through the airwaves and to the club. It has this hip hop element to it, but at the same time the music and beat allows it to pop. In “So Thick” Lady Panth3r slows things down and gets a little sensual with her delivery. You could hear both songs on the same record and there’s no denying they’re by the same artist, but they do showcase two different sides of the same die that is Lady Panth3r. If you like your hip hop with a side of club pop, check her out now. (https://soundcloud.com/lady-panth3r)

Jaiz says he has hip hop in his heart. With that in mind, we start off with “My Victory” featuring Anna. She should be recognized for her great attribution to the song first and foremost. Now onto what he had to bring. He comes through with a good level of energy and both complement one another. It’s like when B.o.B and Hayley Williams teamed up some years ago. In “Angel” he’s flying solo and you can hear the passion in every line. Usually songs like this come through with ease, but this one is like a shark attack and fierce. An interesting move on his part. We jump to a completely different boat as we head into “Say No to Drugs.” This sounds like a completely different artist as he is more like a LMFAO without the dance beat in terms of overall packaging. As soon as you think you’ve got this rapper figured out, we get into “Rise” and are welcomed by a vocal performance. All in all, if Jaiz could only travel one route with little stops here and there, he’d be great somewhere between “My Victory” and “Angel.” Those two were great examples of what this emcee can do, so check those out today and hear for yourself.

Come next week Sylvester Stallone may very well will for his role in “Creed” as his most famous character Rocky. That comes to mind as Joe Sauseda spits out rhymes on his “Adrian.” He uses the infamous image of Rocky as he finishes the steps and it’s fitting. He says his “music is his Adrian.” And that’s a beautiful line in many ways. Creative people aren’t catered to often and often told to give up and do something more stable. Hearing only one song from this Austin emcee, it’s clear he’s making the right choice. His words come through with precision and there is skill in him. In “Forgotten” we hear that same level of goodness. He comes through laid back but he doesn’t do anything but entertain. With “This Is” he picks up the pace just a bit but he doesn’t stray from the skill set we’ve become familiar with. If you’re a fan of emcees that come at you with a realistic take on beats and rhymes, check out Joe Sauseda now. (https://soundcloud.com/sausedamusic)

West Palm Beach Florida is known for their beaches and their party scene and with that, we’d like to introduce you to an emcee who is about to be added to the list; K Reezy. He starts things with “Jeep Song (Top Off).” It’s rap intertwined with a rock base and because of that you want to bust a move while headbanging. He’s got a light Machine Gun Kelly feel, but not as rapid paced as the boy from Ohio. In “Been Doin’ It” we get more of a party vibe. The last song came across as an attitude stricken track, while this one is more fun. With that, he takes an inspirational turn as we head into “Never Stop.” There are a million and one songs out there and it’s never not nice to hear one giving hope to listeners. Then in rolls “Bank” and we’re back to the mixtape feel, all about them Benjamins. It’s clear that when it comes to style, K Reezy doesn’t like to stick with one sound and plays around with it. If you like your emcees with a defined musical pallette, check him out now! (https://www.reverbnation.com/kreezy669)

Tha Tonic does his own thing, his way. “FHFM” is not the song I’d start out with if I was throwing a party, it’s more laid back and doesn’t ever really do enough to stand out. In “Cry” there is more to the music that it does a great job of pushing the song out in the center square more. Plus, Tha Tonic has more pep in his step this time around and doesn’t sound bored with his rhymes, but more content. Speaking of pep, it’s fully found in all places, “#Selfie.” It’s not the most popping track, but it has more personality than we’ve heard. With “Frequency” I think he’s finally found his stride for the style he’s going for. He’s laid back but this one keeps it interesting and intriguing from start to finish because of little bursts here and there. In the end, Tha Tonic doesn’t make that hip hop that could be mistaken for pop, nor does he come from a gangster rap background. Instead he creates music that’s his unique take with a laid back approach. If that sounds like something you’d be down to listen to, check out Tha Tonic now. (https://soundcloud.com/thatonic)

With Darryl Sir’rah by his side, we’re starting this off with “The Life.” It’s clear with the hook that this is a California artist but Zay P himself and his way with words, he could be an east coast rapper from The Bronx. Again with Sir’rah, we hear a more Lupe Fiasco like style from this young emcee in “Made For This.” He’s more composed here than in the last and listeners can hear the man behind the words loud and clear, even though this is a chilled take on hip hop. From laid back to the club, “Keep It True” isn’t a song that would get things turnt up but it would get girls and guys moving to the back beat. In “With Me” it doesn’t flow as well in the vocal department as the rest when it starts, but it seemed like a hiccup as the rest of the track is solid. If you’re a fan of artists like Lupe, check out California’s own Zay P today. (https://soundcloud.com/zaytrigga)

Whenever a song starts out with a songbird, you can expect something exquisite and Dre5K’s “Real” is no different. The singer he has in the intro aids his rhymes wonderfully and makes the delivery come across with in a heartfelt manner. That’s not all this emcee has up his sleeve though. He tells his story in “Came From Nothing” while he goes at it from a whole new direction with “Shoutout.” We’ve heard the heart, the struggle and in this one he’s more raw with it. He comes from that way again in “Shittin’ On,” while starting off with drama in “Kurt Cobain.” We’re back to reality and telling tales in this one and it’s a nice dose too. If you’re a fan of hip hop that’s real and not put through the pop-matic machine, check out Dre5K now. (https://soundcloud.com/dre5k)

Voice of Men FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/VoiceOfMenProduction/ Music is a way of expression. Preference of music depends on each person and mood one have. A good music should be a combination of good tempo and lyrics. But today, good music is not enough. Singer’s should come with a good packaging, and performance stunts. This adds up to their character which is in lined with the songs they write and song. With the song “this is my war” by Voice of Men, here are some points that needs to be taken:

Straight out of the Southside, MALLG is dropping his anticipated “Definition of a Hustler.” The record starts off with “The Definition” and it creates a mood that can’t be denied. If you’re into rap that doesn’t play well with others, this is for you. It’s not the rap you’d hear at the end of a happy go lucky movie, this is for those who like it raw. He continues with the hard edge in “Brand New” but here the music eases things a bit but the bite is still has harsh as the last. We couldn’t move forward without talking about “The Hustler.” We just mentioned ease and this one throws you for a loop because it has a definite soulful feel. He shows a whole different side of what he can do here. He sounds a little cinematic in “Woop Dee Woop” with a Nicki Minaj-like fellow emcee helping him on on this joint. If you’re a fan of rap that comes with a huge dose of high powered grit, check out “Definition of a Hustler” by MALLG, out now.

Dr.Wiggz plays hard and raps even harder. We start off with him and his boy Filth Nasty and a little “Bitches on Bitches.” It’s more laid back than expected, coming at you with a slick hook. In “Major Key” this emcee plays around with sound and the 80’s feel is quickly taken over by a more modern sound that takes you right inside a dark club atmosphere. Changing things up and the mood, “Got That Keef?” is more like what you’d find on a mixtape with J.Cole. It has this R&B meets hip hop feel that artists like Drake have come to be known for. We’re picking it back up and going hard with “Mix Match,” while “Stop Lyin” is more about serving up a dose of attitude. The Dab is a popular dance out right now, but wow - “When I DAB” is definitely a track that makes you want to do more than move. It has this huge case of aggression that the power flows from the stereo through the body of everyone it comes into contact with. If you’re a fan of emcees who bring it hard, check out Dr.Wiggz today! (https://soundcloud.com/dr-wiggz)

Chef Deazy is quite the interesting man. “It Hurts” but it sounds so good. There’s this dirty south feel to this one as the hip hop has a lot of energy but at the same time, we hear some New Wave in the beat. It’s an interesting sound overall. In “Always” we hear that fusion once again. It’s like a throwback to when the genre started to form, but a look at what’s going on today with the electronic influence sound. As we dance on into “It’s All My Fault” we slow things down a bit. Here the mood comes through as laid back and a little sensual, despite the lyrical content. With “They So Weak” Chef Deazy delivers a song that comes through as if Lil Wayne and Earth, Wind and Fire had a musical baby and this was the result. With all that in mind, Chef Deazy has created music that really stands apart from what’s going on in today’s mainstream. If you’re a fan of electronica hip hop, check him out today!
