Ginger Bread Man is back at it with another single, “What The Business Is” in which he goes all in while the transitions accelerate towards a haunting instrumental that’s complimented by deafening beats. From a stylistic perspective, the track has balance that’s inspired by modern trap sounds such as “SurfClub”, amngst other tracks that are melodically driven, while he takes the listener into introspection mode. Tank Nitti also comes through as his skill set shines stupendously.
I must acknowledge that I enjoyed the vocal tone and structure, part of what I think makes Ginger Bread Man a dynamic artist. At some point, I felt like he’s somewhat transcendent talented. Couple that with the production which pulsates with futuristic pop, electronic and trap elements blended into a perfect work of art. The track leaves me with a taste of a seasoned artist who’s about to make an articulation of rap star’s lifestyle.
Whether you’re a public figure or on a first date, first impressions are everything. People make initial judgments whether they realize it or not, so setting your best foot forward as a new artist in the opinionated world of music is vital. Tucked away in the heart of Sweden is an untapped wealth of artistic potential by the name of Carl Gränsmark, better known as Whooda Thunk. With his new single “Used To,” Whooda Thunk is ready to make his most important first impression to date: his American debut. He’s cultivated a perspective – and a sound – unique in contemporary rock. It is, as you might expect from a person of his background, exuberant, searching, dynamic, and dream-haunted.
At the age of 14, Carl was swept off his feet by music. Writing and producing his own bedroom demos, he started dipping his toes into the fountains of creation. It was at this very moment of artistic genesis when he met Rickard, another kid in school with an unhealthy obsession with bands like Korn, Aphex Twin, and Slipknot. For the past seven years, Carl and Rickard have been honing their skills together in numerous musical projects, taking influence not only from the bands that introduced them to music, but also alternative art and films like Donnie Darko, which accompanied them through the trials and tribulations of growing up. With their coming of age, Rickard has fallen into a managerial role, where he can apply his wit and brawn, while his brother in arms focuses on expounding upon the quintessential Whooda Thunk sound.
But it wasn’t until Carl fell on some hard luck that he found a writing style that was solely his. Just like when he was a kid, he was writing and producing tracks, but this time he had been sleeping on his brother’s couch for an entire year in the city of Gothenburg. The result: the Alien Boy EP. Alien Boy is filled to the brim with pent-up anxiety and never-ending worry that signifies a coming of age in life as well as music. The undeniably relatable lyrics paired with an intoxicating fusion of rock, hip hop, and electronic timbres have signaled a new epoch for Whooda Thunk, and his new single “Used To” is his jaw-dropping greeting to you.
The video for “Used To” features Carl and Rickard spitting each line like it’s their last. A siren opens up the track, preparing listeners for the destruction that is about to ensue. Laying out nothing but the truth, Whooda Thunk isn’t afraid to speak his mind. “Used to be good then I woke up” sends chills down the spine of anyone taking a hard slap in the face by reality. The brutal honesty is certain to shake things up, and in a world dominated by a click-hungry mainstream media, “Used To” is just the kind of genuine sincerity we need.
April 9, 2018 (Seattle, Washington) - Seattle rapper, Huey P continues to drop new music for his listeners. Today, Huey P drops a new visual, “Not Taday”, which is directed by Steve Arcenio.
Northwest artist "Huey P" is a great young talent raised in the Tacoma/Seattle of Washington State. Huey immersed himself in the sights and sounds of the emerald city. A storyteller to his very core, Huey began rhyming as a way to tell the world about his experiences as a young man striving to succeed. After teaming up with Tjyolo Ent., Huey began to hone his skills on the local concert circuit opening up for many well-known artists that came through the Washington State area as well as headlining shows of his own. Catching the eye of "DJ VIP" of Nipsey Hussles "All Money In" Family, Huey recorded an EP with the Los Angeles Dj titled "Did You Get The Message" The project was met with enthusiasm from the hip hop fans. Eager to continue the momentum , Huey recorded a Mixtape with DJ Drama and enlisted cameo appearances from "Ty Dolla $ign", Tory Lanez, Cassidy and J. Winans.
“Somehow impact and influence the culture in such a way that it influences our younger generation to keep influencing the right things; positive things, positive messages and glorify the right things.”
Not Today video opens up with Huey P passing his lady a stack of money while she counts it in disbelief. “We just tryin’ make it so that we can take it out the country.” Huey zips through traffic in his red Benz with wifey, stunting on anyone who didn’t believe in his goals and making an everlasting impression to his lady. “I do what I want and you can accompany me”. All of the work he has been putting into his career, he did it all for his wifey and the Devil himself couldn’t stop him from reaching his goal.
Joshua da MC 23 yrs old Italian/Jamaican descent from Broward County Fl. I've been a student of Hip-Hop for as long as I can remember, and writing in general. I love that rap has become a blend of all of these different styles, and that more and more we're seeing fans of rock, pop, R&B, etc. become artists that further diversify the brand. And I just want my chance to be one of those pioneers—if not of Hip-Hop in-general, then our new school, and music as a whole. This Art-form is my passion; I hope I can share that energy that drives me with others.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. For 23 year old super talent Pariyah, Karma is best served through a couple of sixteens and a hook. The Norfolk, Virginia do it youself native wears many hats to see his vision through. He is the label head at Langley Jourdain Records which he established in 2017. The self described loner and outcast, hence the name, also engineers and produces his own work, so saying the multi talented rapper has an ear for music is an understatement.
Pariyah is back this time around with his new single "Karma" and he is speaking to anyone who has gone through a bitter break up. The up tempo, guitar laced, oh how the tables have turned anthem is reminiscent of Kanye West in the 808 and Heartbreak days, gives off a great vibe as you listen and get over your former love. The seven year vet shows that what goes around truly comes back around and a little heartache can bring out much greatness in you.
Florida has been a hot bed for hip hop talent recently, led by Kodak Black and XXXTentacíon. Since, we've seen a number of new artists emerge out of south Florida and may be looking at the next phenomenon. KV Infinity, sliding onto the music scene out of Hallandale, Fla. is a six member group(LimboKV, LunaryKV, ManiiKV, NintiKV, VozziKV, and YoungkikeKV) looking to take the game by storm with their new single "Candy." The song has a nice jazzy groove, but still knocks coming through your speakers that will have your head bobbing uncontrollably. The track, which was produced by the groups own ManiiKV also has a catchy hook that you'll find yourself singing hours after the is over. KV Infinity's unity and crew love for one another puts me in the mind of other mega groups like ASAP Mob and Odd Future. "Candy" is the first single off of their upcoming mixtape, INFINITY and if it is any indication of what we can expect from this squad, I'd imagine they will develop a cult core like the aforementioned groups in no time.
Bigg’s new album “All Out” is coming in hot with more than 27 tracks from this self-produced Vietnamese artist. I must admit that the intro will not only capture your admiration but you’ll instantly recognize the suave persona and easy-going flow that Bigg is offering. There’s a particular track that will probably get Bigg finessing to the top charts, and that’s “Kanye East” the smooth yet seductive hard beats compliment the elaborate rhyming style. It’s hard to believe that this is the first album that Bigg has produced. This is because of the crazy never-seen-before ingenuity and lyrical capabilities. Bigg plans to unleash the full album to all streaming platform on 10/04/2018. In the meantime, you don’t want to miss out on his Official Music Video for one of his single "Lowkey Stunning" as we anticipate the release.

Straight Outta Hai Noi in Vietnam, the shocking lyrical imagery that this guy possesses is impressive.

Many of those artists became one hit wonders while others prove that they can last the test of time.

The hard slapping bass quakes through you speakers, making it very easy to vibe to.
