A latin guitar, seasoned by a wispy vocal sample and ad-libs from Maor Mo, himself, slowly spark his latest single, “Karaoke”. Featuring the undeniable, Hip-Hop legend, Talib Kweli, early into the record, “Karaoke” foreshadows its potential as a chart-topping, R&B hit. The flame shoots up the wick the moment our Floridian crooner busts into his initial verse: a fast-pace rhyme bouncing along steady percussion. Albeit, a captivating way to kick off an R&B record; the real explosion occurs the moment his first melody is vocalized. He incinerates icons, T-Pain and Drake, with a fiery, harmonized bridge that slides into a scorching, soulful chorus. This energy is forwarded into his succeeding verse; however, the instant an anticipated, “Black Star” someone graces the mic, all hell breaks loose. With a quick, yet classic verse that will certainly magnetize Hip-Hop heads worldwide, Talib Kweli brings the energy of “Karaoke” full circle. The emcee inertia Maor Mo kicked off this record with, flows smoothly into the legend; and from the legend, into this epic, radio-ready smash. As passionately as he references them on his hook, there will be no more “Karaoke” bars for this Miami musician. With a song like this he’s headed for a much bigger stage. @Maor

Life is a movie; and South Floridian emcee, Konchynce, displays that perfectly in the latest music video for his powerful single, “My Life”. This concept is cleanly crafted by the opening of the video, wherein a slideshow of pictures, featuring the rapper, are aired on an animated, TV screen. Eventually, these images grow beyond the confines of that television, and by the start of his verse, they are fitting the full screen we see them on. Then the video, and the music it incarnates, become mutually reflective. That is because “My Life” is exactly that: a bar-filled recount of Konchynce’s journey thus far. 

Strengthened by an electronic, 808-heavy, hip-hop beat, the Florida native drops myriad rhymes regarding hatred from others, politics in the industry, and chasing his dreams, overall. He also mentions something he’s been “blessed with—“; and juxtaposed to that statement is an image of him holding a newborn child. This superbly represents the duality of his narrative. Although there are a vast amount of struggles in life we all have to cope with; there are moments in this same life that make them undeniably worth it. The track is glued together by a melodic chorus, in which Konchynce colorfully croons "Welcome to my life—", emphasized by the equally colorful haze of his video. All in all, Konchynce is a wise, passionate, and insightful emcee; and this welcome into his life, through an amazing song and visual, is an invitation you won’t regret accepting.
