Hiphop purists will really appreciate the experimental hiphop vibe by producer, Loony Is Normal, paired with the vocab utilized and creative approach to a smoker's anthem by the budding mc, Sudo Black. His new song "Desk Boogers" has the off-kilter beat pattern and original weirdness of Wu-Tang mixed with a OddFuture joint. The cherry on top comes at marker 2:45 when aliens beam the song up in a Kanye'esque mid-song beat mashup. Very trippy stuff!

 This track grabbed my soul and made me want to roam the NYC streets during those wee hours. It starts with a breakbeat that sounds titanic, although it’s straightforward at close range. Polo Paul’s latest track “A Boogie” is the sort of track you’d play to an alien in 2115 if you were tasked with explaining a young man’s street hustle attempts in Harlem; as they cope with 1980s drug scene building an illegal empire only to have a crisis of conscience. The primary strength in the beat lies in the tightly coiled groove and heavy bass tone. 

The content is very deep as it is inspired by Ace Boogie from the hit film, “Paid in Full”. There’s no doubt that this artist has advanced lyrical skills portrayed by his infectious flow and unparalleled rhyming. Polo Paul must be potent in his lyrical prowess in his attempts to address the temptations and rigors of the ghetto in a quest for a meaningful life. The heavy hitters in the game will have to seriously reflect on the condition of the minority in NY, as portrayed by Polo in this track. Listen to “A Boogie” on Soundcloud and follow. www.polopaulmusic.com

Tut Moses is back at it with some new-age trap, and his latest hit single - Justified- is the epitome of such Hip Hop. Tut jumps out on the Bias produced beat with an intense, staccato cadence that is impressive to both naysayers and fans. His high-register delivery over Bias' canvas, reminds me of the minimalist production style we’ve seen with Drake’s resident engineer. The chorus has enough buoyancy to inspire a dab session with the crew and also the perfect amount of smoothness to garner heavy rotation on a Cali joy ride. 

The artist has shown some rapid progress with his soul-grabbing ability to infuse the traditional lyrical flair on the vibrant track. It is very easy to resonate with this artist as he touches on everyday stuff that we can all relate to, while yet remaining sharp on the mic. Tut has done an amazing job as he searches for ways to engage emotions with his vocal tone on the beats. Tut’s music is compelling as he easily positions himself at the forefront of the next wave.

A-town looks like we have another one! Fresh out of the hot bed of Atlanta, GA comes a new trippy sound from an eccentric artist, Frylock Jacques. Frylock bring us his new 5-track banger, Outerspace EP. This ATLien's project is consistent with a spacey, hard hitting production to match his out of orbit melodic style. 

Frylock makes reference to space often on the project, which he says is a metaphor for marijuana. Jacques says marijuana medication and staring at the stars played an intricate part in his creative process. The entire project was actually recording by a makeshift studio that he setup in his Saturn car, that allowed him to roll around, smoke, and record! 

With the unique energy and sound that he carries, it wouldn't surprise us to hear Frylock making hits with the likes of Migos, Lil Uzi Vert, or Travis Scott any day now. He recently shared his story via audio bio with USA Blog Network. Listen to the EP and interview today!

The city of Chicago has been a haven for hip hop talent for over the past 25 years. The windy city has brought such legends as Common, Twista, and Kanye West to the new innovators like Chance the Rapper, Chief Keef, and Famous Dex. Now, the Chi represents the homebase for a new trio, OTB or Only The Brothas, claiming next to hold down the Chi Town. 

With their new mixtape out now "Before Oppz", Kaydee, Tae Tae, and Young Smook make up the group called Only The Brothas(O.T.B). Comprised of 3 actual brothers, OTB started from humble beginnings recording in their basement and showcasing their talent to family and friends. Their style carries and energetic and innovating sound that is almost a fusion of bounce/drill and trippy music instrumentations, which seperates OTB’s sound for the rest. With continuous guidance from their uncle Eugene “Mizzy Me” Body and hard work, the only place I see OTB is at the top. -Richard Dixon



 They recently shared their unique story with USA Blog Network with an in-depth audio bio. Listen to the interview and download “Before Oppz” today!
