Long awaited — the Pivot tape has finally dropped. With a laundry list of features from Smino, Kari Faux, Mick Jenkins, Jean Deaux, Femdot, Sylvan LaCue, Benjamin Earl Turner and all the Pivot staples – it is truly a family affair. Honestly, I listened through once fully and a couple songs a couple more times…
After dropping “Highly Favored” earlier this year SoloSam is back with some new material. “Safe Keeping” is a 2 track project that was written, produced, and recorded by SoloSam. The EP delivers a two sided coin experience that displays his versatility as not only a lyricist, but also a seasoned producer. The two songs depict…
Supa Bwe returns with the release of his new EP ‘Just Say Thank You’. He shows off his versatility on the 7 songs which runs around 19 minutes. Don’t let the short play time fool you though, there’s a lot in there. My personal standouts are BOOM BOOM BOOM Ft. Duffle Bag Buru, Rememory Ft…
Prod. by Phoelix Fatimah snapped. After a long awaited twitter back and forth between Noname and producer Phoelix, Song 32 is finally available everywhere. Don’t say I didn’t warn you – These are DENSE bars — even Genius will need a couple listens to annotate. Noname is truly carving a lane for herself as one…
prod. by Martin $ky & IKON Little late on the trigger for this one but it’s worth the wait. As the weather gets warmer this one hits the spot. Martin $ky & Ikon made the standout instrumental and the chemistry with MMM is undeniable. I’ve been a fan of MMM for a while but have…
Mick hits Jamaica for the visual to Consensual Seduction. Portland, Jamaica just might need to be the next vacation spot after seeing this… shit! On top of the scenery, women and weed the video has a positive message that every man (and person) needs to take into account. Mick snapped, per usual. Listen and watch…
Durk has to be one of the most influential rappers right now. His sound is everywhere in Chicago and beyond. He dropped a video for his hit ‘No Label’. You’ve probably already heard the audio – so check the visual here:
Directed by Stripmall I don’t usually post a song when it drops and then post the video but SoloSam and Stripmall snapped on this. The visual mixes some humor, turn up and effects. Solo and Stripmall productions, who oversaw the creative direction on this and past work, have a great chemistry worked out and it…
Femdot is making his case for top up-and-coming rhymesayer in the city. This one needs a couple listens to catch all the bars. King Dilla is coming for everything that’s his and then some. When he drops a freestyle or a loosie it’s worth a listen. Feels like he’s got some momentum going – here’s…
Brittney Carter made her FSD debut a few weeks ago with more of a tease than anything. Now she’s back with her first official visual by @miguelvisuals_ The poet-turned-rapper is honing in on her craft and shows flashes of greatness. She’s creating a little buzz and is one to watch hopefully with a lot more…
