Rapper/singer, LaLa shows refreshing mixture of jazz and hiphop on new album 'JazZy LaLa'

What hits you right away with LaLa's new album "JazZy LaLa" is everything! The overall theme of the project is definitely smooth and flows thoughout. All the instruments sound so amazing. The marriage of jazz, hiphop, and poetry is very strong here. LaLa's writing and delivery is refreshing as he effortlessly flips from rapping and singing. 

The content that flows out of LaLa's mind are creative, original and very personal. On gem "Forever" he relives the endlessness of college life and wonders if he would've done it all over again or not. "SOS" speaks on the state of the artists of today and what sets him apart from the pack. "I Need Dollahs" sounds like a hiphop remix of a ragtime story about the struggle to elevate. He switches it up on new age banger, "Blood On The Leaves" where he recalls lost love. Follow @lalaboymusic

After being noticed from one of his songs he uploaded to youtube in 2009, LaLa started working under Dahn Jackson's management. He quickly rose up the performance latter after his first all-age show at a small local restaurant. With over 60+ performances ranging from local downtown restaurants to opening up for major mainstream artists, LaLa takes the most pride in his headlining shows, in which is HIS shows, HIS fans.

Ryan Cole shows you how to 'Flex' on a new song

Fresh off the success of his mixtape "I Am Ryan Cole", he is back with an official trap anthem titled "Flex"! The song has been selected as the USA Blog Network's 'Song of the Week'. Beatmaker, Bricks On Da Beat produces the perfect piano and bass influenced track for Ryan Cole to shine on. With its dope lyrical content, Ryan's charismatic delivery, and professional sound, I could easily hear "Flex" in DJ rotation alongside other current hitters like OT Genesis, Savage 21, and Migos. 

What really stood out to me is Ryan stayed true to who he is, not what the industry wants to hear. You usually hear alot of drug talk these days, where as he admits not touching the work and not poppin pills. Instead he raps about every young man's dream: having fun, staying fly, and fucking every pretty chic in sight! Ryan says,"FLEX is the new movement! It's more than a song... it's a lifestyle!" Look out for the visuals to the song coming very soon. Follow @iMightJustbeHim

Black Skull releases new song “I Write Analog and Spit Digital”

Black Skull releases a very powerful and thought provoking song called “I Write Analog and Spit Digital”.  On “I Write Analog and Spit Digital” Black Skull delivers a very political gem!  He has an uncanny ability to open up his consciousness to the listener with a deep hip-hop flow and hook.  Producer, Mark Gillette, creates futuristic synths and sharp snare drums that give “I Write Analog and Spit Digital” a revolutionary vibe.  He shines when he produces facts on police brutality, the crazy election, and a truly unfit President Trump.  He gauges the temperature of the people from the point of view of a young black man whose goal is to inspire a lost generation.  “I Write Analog and Spit Digital” is Black Skull’s call for positive action!!!

Westcoast hiphop artist, VerseBorn, is right back at you with potent gems that shine a bright light for the third eye. As always his new joint "Gold Frame" pushes the envelope with lyricism and a deep message for us to wake!

VerseBorn ignites an esoteric thunderstorm on the new track "Gold Frame". While rooting himself as a premier figure in the world of underground music, VerseBorn continues to drop cryptic gems that take listeners on an auditory journey to another dimension. "Gold Frame" touches on a myriad of topics that fit collectively within the human experience, divulging the internal struggles between cognitive thinking and abiding by the street code.

MZM reigns supreme lyrics on new album 'Downpour'

 

MZM's new album "Downpour" is a breath fresh air. 13-tracks rains down creative lyricism and thought provoking concepts upon you. MZM opens his mind and lets you in on masterpieces like "Wrong Era", that covers the ills of today's society. In his battle rap stance, he snarls hot-fire punchlines on "Dylan"! "Love Is" not what you think it is. This an almost 12 minute long, twisted, toxic, love story that is re-told as hilarious as possible!   

Stand out tracks include the single titled, "Politricks ft. Emilio Rojas and Ras Kass".

"Politricks" gives them a good platform to voice their outlooks on everything from this crazy political race, the military industrial complex, and the racist, sexist, idiot Donald Trump.  MZM goes as far as saying Donald's moms should've swallowed him lol. What an awesome notion!

For a debut album MZM has hit the ground running. This is an amazing body of work that will take you back to hiphop's golden era of rap! Download the full album, "Downpour" on bandcamp and follow MZM's growing movement below.  Follow @mrfantastik

When I listened to new song "Thinking of You" by Chicago hiphop artist, Words, it touched a nerve that I didn't know was still there from my last relationship.

New Video - @CityFME "Too Long"

After the recent success of  City's Lost N The Musik 2 summer release, it was only right to begin leaking the visuals. With Eye Like Cinema behind the camera City brings his hunger to life in "Too Long". Being in the rap game is one thing, winning at it is an entirely different subject the Kool Krew rep shows both sides of the coin on this one.

Listen to KonQuest new mind elevation song "Elite" ft. Smooth Da Truth

The kings are here! With new banger titled "Elite" KonQuest, aims to set themselves apart from your average rappers. It goes even deeper than hiphop or music. With their amazing rhymes they look to channel the pharaoh within and promote mind elevation!


Listen as 3 of the undergrounds most "Elite" emcees craft a marvelous masterpiece with the latest release from the KonQuest Now collective. The hardest working group in hip-hop continues to drop classics as they pave their own path with creativity and a refreshing presence the scene has been yearning for.  

"Elite", another original production from Wreck The Rebel, is a thoroughly melodic track featuring an amazingly catchy hook provided once again by the illustrious Smooth Da Truth. This track cements him in my eyes as one of underground hip-hop’s premiere hook-makers. His voice is so unique to hip-hop that there isn’t anybody who has been able to find the same magic he captures between rapping and singing. When it comes to "Elite" vocalists, VerseBorn is definitely top-shelf. You can hear it in his raps – each bar is carefully written, each song thoughtfully constructed, listening to him is no different than watching a mathematician solve an equation. While Wreck The Rebel raps at a steadfast speed, showing off with a remarkable sense of wordplay that he doesn’t sacrifice depth for the sake of being clever. He excels with a vivid depiction of events or experiences in his songs, filled with rich empathy and detail that gives the listener a clear understanding of what’s on his mind. "Elite" proves to be equal parts infectious and well-crafted, qualities that many artists’ making similar music lack.

ALBUM REVIEW - Xtortion The Don "Smoke In The City"

Xtortion The Don's "Smoke In The City" album debuted earlier this year to rave reviews. Clocking in at 18 tracks and slightly over an hour worth of listening time, "Smoke In The City" bangs from beginning to end. Xtortion uses his veteran savvy to craft hit rap singles like "Chevy" and "Drop" alongside more R&B themed cuts like "Down Low" featuring AC and "Flexin" featuring Jus Rio.

Never one to shy away from getting personal on songs, Xtortion displays his full range of emotions all while remaining sonically pleasing for the duration of the project. With so much thoughtful writing and different styles portrayed through the art it comes as no surprise X has been at the forefront of the Central Illinois scene since his early days.
