IsaiahG floats on this track put together by Yourbeautifulruin. Fufu12619 shows the promise of up-and-comer IsaiahG and the track art is pretty spot on.

Ness Heads may or may not be new to you, but I caught her live act last night at the Digital Freshness revamp at the Empty Bottle and was impressed. Her stage presence was well beyond her experience and she won the crowd over in a flash. Come to find she has a new song…
Big Dreez is back with her new album. It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve personally been thirsting for a full length from the Chicago star. 10 new tracks stacked back to back to back, featuring work alongside Kash Doll, Offset, Jeremih, Jacquees and more. I’m a few tracks in now and it’s pretty…

Today, on his FSD debut, he taps UG Vavy for a personal spin on the style popularized by…
Directed by @just.untitled & RYEN Ryen is a new artist I’m excited about it. His material is strong. From the songwriting, to the production, to the packaging. And you can add videos to that list as well, as Ryen dazzles yet again with his speedy new video for “Hyper.” This shit is too fast and…
I’m really not blogging too heavy these days, but man, I had to get back on game for this release. Tree and V-I-C have connected for a new 10-song project, that has taken me to an entirely different place. Sometimes I get bored with that’s dropping in rap music — so much sounds exactly the…
