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/)
Racc Chassir is an independent company out in Minnesota that handles everything hip hop and R&B. Today we’re taking you inside what they’re working with and telling you why you should check out their artist 2WIN. First up, “The Struggle” comes through and tells a story most of us can attach ourselves to as it tells the reality of a struggle and not the first world problems people have today. Then we get into “Crazy” from 2WIN featuring P3. A laid back track that sits in reality as well. 2WIN is at it again with JayDon and Murcc on “My Nigs On.” Here we get a take on the current state of America and politics. It’s an interesting approach. If you’re a fan of hip hop that tells real stories and doesn’t paint pictures of materialistic things, check out all that’s coming from Racc Chassir now.

Coming to you from Miami we have Fly. First up we have “O.M.A,” a track that sets the tone for what’s to come. He’s stern and bringing you a hard take on hip hop. With “Make It Rain” you hear more of that attitude driven delivery but with a lighter feel thanks to the “stripper on the pole” element. When it comes to Miami, you have an array of sounds that can come through. It’s hot and heavy when it comes to the dance scene, but Fly is making sure hip hop also makes its presence known down in the Sunshine State. Check him and his sounds out now.

Jordy McFly doesn’t play around. “It’s Easier to Smile” is a chill track that doesn’t pop off at any point. It’s all about showcasing the rhymes instead of the beat and you can hear Jordy is a true emcee in control of the lines that spill from his lips. In “Concrete Jungle” we hear more of a an aggressive side of the rapper. He isn’t coming at you hard, but the words he’s delivering pack a punch. Listening on, we get this slick feel when “Look What You Left” and it continues the whole way through. This one really felt east coast to me. It had this pristine Brooklyn sound, something more modern like a Nas track. If you’re a fan of hip hop that doesn’t rely on tricks but thrives on talent, check out Jordy McFly today.

Trap City Records has a cascade of talent ready to be discovered. Young Fresh is first out the gate with Big Beautiful by his side with “Let’s Make a Move.” It has a fresh sound that blends hip hop and an urban take on pop that you’d hear from the likes of Chris Brown and Ne-Yo. The two team up again, but this time with Young Swagg for “Go Getta.” This one has more of a sensual vibe as it starts off nice and slow, but has this slick bounce to it that makes you think of Ciara. Big Beautiful steps out with Ben Holland for “No Love” and we hear a more vocal performance here where the singing is center stage, and takes control of the situation. It’s clear Trap City Records has a lot of talent under their umbrella and it’s time the world took notice of this rising hip hop empire. (https://soundcloud.com/big-beautiful30)
Ozy Reigns takes an alternative route to hip hop. More on the page of acts like Common, this LA rapper brings something new to the table with his latest, “Remember Me.” Sounding like something from the 70’s thanks to the music that accompanies the rhymes, it’s a great track to sit down and chill with. Before this track, we got a trio from him in February this year. From those three, “4U&I” comes in nice and slow from the start but then picks up to end on an energetic note. Out of those three though, “Out The Hole” showcases a more traditional take on hip hop, tossing it back to the beats that came up in the 80’s. If you’re a fan of throwback hip hop, check out LA’s own Ozy Reigns today. (https://ozyreigns.net/)
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.

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)
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)
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!

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.

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.
