Ypsilanti, MI rap artist H6Z100 drops his latest mixtape project, “Came From Money 2” that features a special guest appearance from Grand Rapids, MI’s own TheHomieRedd, among other heavy-hitters. On the 2nd installment of his mixtape series, H6Z100 lays out 4 exclusive new-age bangers that all pack a powerful punch and offers up a variety of styles from the on-the-verge rapper. The bouncy opener, “Foreign” launches the project with an air of motivation setting the tone for “CFM2”. “Made A Promise” is the oath of a young hustler on a trajectory to pull himself out of the streets. Then listen as “Talk My Shit” unloads a high energy trap anthem that tells prolific real life stories with heavy conscious undertones. The outro track, “Head High” is light and smooth. The song calms the pace, ending the collection on a more mellow note. Aside from TheHomieRedd, other guest features on “Came From Money 2” include J10 of Port Gibson, MS and Bizzy from Detroit, MI.

 From Ypsilanti, MI comes rap artist H6Z100 with the release of his dope new mixtape effort titled “Came from Money Vol. 1”. Featuring 7 exclusive tracks, the budding emcee drops nothing but hot lines and witty metaphors while flexing a multitude of deliveries, proving that he’s serious with the bars. Reminiscent to the styles of fellow Michigan natives Royce Da 5’9 and Tee Grizzley, his wordplay is smart with the rawness of the streets. Handling the rhymes and vocals himself with no guest features, H6Z100’s flow embodies that gritty Midwest sound that’s running the game right now. Mixing things up a bit, he makes it a point to touch on various topics like hustlin’, loyalty, and even love as he slows it down for the ladies on the smooth “Takes My Breath Away” that’s an ode to a woman’s beauty. Other highlights on the mixtape include the hard-hitting, braggy “OhLord” where H6Z100 goes in over a booming, bass-heavy beat, and “The 6” that finds the artist in an introspective mood. Definitely worth checking out, stream Came from Money Vol. 1 today.

Detroit native Godspeed2 presents his debut EP titled, Dues, featuring six exclusive tracks that officially introduces him to the world as an influential emcee. For the album, the rap artist, poet and published author channels the energy of some of his favorite artist as a way of paying homage to them. Throughout Dues, he addresses an array of critical topics such as inner-city violence, intra-cultural struggle, bigotry, hypocrisy, politics, dancing, partying, sex, and love. The interesting thing about the EP is how Godspeed2 opens up a dialogue about issues plaguing the world without dismissing or condemning them, a tough feat for an emcee fresh out the gate. Highlights on the album include the jazzy, conscious opener “In The D,” and the bouncy, introspective “The Night.” A track worth mentioning is the subtly explicit “Vibrations” where GodSpeed2 goes in-depth about an intimate encounter over production that has a big feel and even bigger hook delivered by featured guest, The Remedy. To support Godspeed2's latest album effort, stream Dues on all digital platforms and be on the lookout for his upcoming follow-up project, Afraid of the Dark, coming soon.

As it seems, the warmer it gets outside, the hotter SmokeTheGreat’s bravado burns. So much so, that months ahead of the summertime, he has already released the most confident, stunt-worthy track of the sunny season, “BITCHMETOO”. Featuring guests E.WILLS, and NETWERC, “BITCHMETOO” is about as braggadocious as a Midwest banger can get. Seeing as most of the music in this region is largely focused on the extreme violence plaguing Middle America’s streets, this Flint, Michigan release is actually a handsome deviation. As each of these Goat Money Music rappers lyrically clown certain women’s boyfriends, while simultaneously flaunting their riches, influence, and boss statuses, they bring the Midwest mindset back to where it should be: on chasing a bag. Boisterous anthems like “BITCHMETOO”, through their radiating haughtiness, are precisely what light fires of ambition and the hunger for similar success within us. For, no one wants to be the one “talking like he’s got it, knowing he don’t” as perfectly mentioned in the second verse. Speaking of verses, each spitter on this thunderous, trap hit uniquely gives their all. As radically as their deliveries may differ, no one in Goat Money slacks with their pen. Their booming bars and FliCity flows will be the exact reason that, before summer has even arrived, “BITCHMETOO” is heating up your attitude and aux.

“We be the goons!” In an unquenchable burst of zeal and hunger, H6Z100 (Hbeezyonehundred) is letting us have it with “100”, his latest, hard-hitting release. It is a three-minute and twenty-two second tirade proffered through his Soundcloud, equipped with everything you would expect of a Michigan anthem. The vigorous prance of 808 kicks rumbling beneath a malicious, piano melody and scattering trap percussion, creates a bounce reminiscent of the Detroit sound. Yet, our Ypsilanti native makes it uniquely his own. Through his lively delivery, street-hardened lyricism, and melodious, auto-tuned hook, H6Z100 fully invites us into his existence. Warring between a life on the block, and a love for God, this Midwest emcee has his back against the wall. Yet, as “100” proves, when the heat is on, H6Z100 becomes a force to be reckoned with. He will hit the booth and lash out with a bombing banger. All of his turmoil is destined to pay off; for, “100” is just the song H6Z100 needs to explode.

Here to awaken our spirits with his almighty “Jesus Peace Love Fun” project, is Michigan’s own, Valiant Praize; anointed with versatility and the blessing of musicality. This ten-track effort is ripe with diverse sounds; ranging from the most cinematic, modern-trap, to choir-filled gospel rap, Pop, and tranquil R&B. All of which illuminating with powerful praises of God. The Detroit talent is hard-hitting on the album opener, “Valiant Praize”. As an incredibly theatric progression takes to the background, Valiant Praize, dipped in auto-tune, unleashes a peerless love for Christ on the trap beat. This love only amalgamates as the project courses on, with tracks such as the bubbly “O Happy Day” giving a soulful-rap incarnation to his holy adoration. “Standing In Love” is an acoustic guitar ballad, filled with heart-touching, prayerful bars. The rest of the album is a musical expedition into pure, Christian rap; with Valiant Praize’s lyrics, melody and passionate inflections leading each hymn. “Jesus Peace Love Fun” is a masterful exercise in musical spirituality and unstoppable range. It is an energetic listen for young, Christian adults; and will bring the youth exponentially closer to Christ.

 Through a filtered yet gutter, Detroit-worn voice, rapper, Best Addit, mutters “I got a milli’ on my mind, nobody’s stopping mine.”. This comes a few seconds past the beginning loop of a synth-sample, and just bars early of the lyrical annihilation Addit unbolts. A street-shaking 808 barrels into the track, chaperoned by snares, hihats, and the Midwest madman’s own nonchalant delivery. Yes, Best Addit is cool, calm, and collected when telling the stories of his endeavors and upbringing; as if their realities have already been accepted in his veteran mind. From grinding in the streets, attracting women, and watching his back; the Motor City rapper lays out the ambitions of a hustler in “Milli On My Mind”. The music video compliments his narrative; showcasing Best Addit in a variety of settings, cloaked in a shadowy greyscale of black and white. Nothing short of an anthem, Best Addit’s trap single “Milli On My Mind” is certain to make a splash on every block surrounding the Great Lakes.

In a metaphor-heavy homage to every shoe on the shelf, Detroit emcee, Rocklin, accompanied by Tim October, drops the powerful, sneaker anthem “Shoes You Got”. Coined as “Kick Music”, this track is laced by the infectious, sing-song drawl of Isis Rocklyn; whose child-like delivery immaculately opposes the dark, booming Mav-produced beat. Every artist exhibited on this banger performs excellently. Partnered with Isis’s catchy chorus, and Mav’s gargantuan trap production, Rocklin delivers a savage first verse. When it comes to metaphors, apparently the Michigan madman is unstoppable. He delivers a string of them; proving prominent with the pen, and giving Tim October something to match. And his guest is equally aggressive. To say the least, both spitters tear into the beat, and leave nothing but a radio-ready smash in the aftermath. ”Shoes You Got” has come to us without a scuff on it. In the mood for a rap-heavy, trap hit? Try this on; I guarantee this kick fits.

Wielding pain, depth, and darkness, Michigan rapper, SupremeNu, presents “Man Down”. The song is three minutes and sixteen seconds of lyrical and instrumental surgery on an open wound; centered around the loss of a close friend to gun violence. Carried by a heart-wrenching, blues guitar, trumpets, trap drums, and passionate, Outkast-esque flow, SupremeNu relives the entire fiasco. He details in his first verse witnessing the death personally, and how indomitable the river of tears have been hence then. Yet, as traumatic as this event was for the Jackson-repping, Florida-based artist, he uses it as incredible fuel on the mic. The pair of passion and pain weld into his voice is unignorable. It bleeds heavier and heavier through your speakers as the song progresses; and by the end, you are engulfed in his grief. That solidifies this track’s place as one of the underground, Hip-Hop highlights of this year. Not only is it an outstanding tribute to his resting friend; but it, likewise, commands an empathy that one could never evade.

A horror movie-esque piano, complimented by an undulating, sub-bass and pad, opens Michigan artist, BRVDFXRD’s, latest offering, “Swurve”. Just as a distorted 808 makes impact, the Detroit emcee launches into a tirade of bars. “Six feet tall, who?” he questions, surfing a smooth, poised flow across waves of hihats and claps. Adlibs lunge up from the depths of the track, adding newfound, crowd-ready energy to the entire record. Albeit, this Midwest spitter’s release makes the most titanic impression in your car, rocking its speakers; it will go equally as crazy during a packed event. Because BRVDFXRD harbors an amazing command of energy. As subtle as he comes across, tossing bars to and fro along this malevolent, trap production, he still manages to create a raging, contagious banger. Detroit has been blazing hot this summer; and “Swurve” kicks the temperature up even further.
