(NEW MUSIC) "DAY JOB" @CLIFTONDERREL


Chicago, Illinois native & Independent Ear Records associate Clifton Derrell just released his brand new album “The Day Job” featuring nineteen tracks (5 of those being skits) and collabs from the likes of Watch City’s Angrous, B.A., Theo Write, North the Emcee and Cire. To sum up “The Day Job” it’s a story driven, semi autobiography of the rise, fall and redemption of a blue collar worker who strives to become a top notch hip hop emcee. Clifton blends real life issues, humor, introspection, inspiration and faith over hip hop beats and emotion filled rhymes that reflect the everyday mans struggle. The album was produced by Derrell himself except for “Broken” which was produced by Angrous. Stream the album in its entirety below and then purchase “The Day Job” from the link provided.

(VIDEO) CHOC MIC "LET'S GET TOGETHER"


Check out the visuals for the feel good single "Let's Get Together," by Hip Soul Entertainment recording artist Choc Mic. Hailing from New Jersey, Choc Mic, has positioned himself into his own lane. He has a unique style ranging from old soul to eclectic hip-hop. Influenced by everyone from Shirley Scott to Mad Brains, he has received recognition as “The go to guy” for hooks and concepts by both local artist and abroad. To me he seems to easily fill the much needed void left by the late Nate Dogg (RIP). Always open to heart felt collaborations, he can ingratiate any record with his deep melodic memorable lyrics and vocals. Choc Mic is definitely doing big things and is an artist you should get behind.

@itsPlayMaka "Fucked Up Thing About It" | PROD. BY SUPA VILLAIN (RIP)


Born in Tampa Florida, music has always been my passion as long as I can remember. Growing up listening to Michael Jackson, Tupac, and Jay-Z inspired me to become the greatest musician of all time. As the oldest of 7 children, constantly traveling back and forth from Florida to Mississippi, I felt the urge to succeed and make a way for my family, this is how my stage name "PlayMaka" developed. In Middle school I participated in numerous talent shows & rap battles throughout the region helping me to cultivate a core following at a young age. My junior year in high school, I was introduced to a professional recording studio where I recorded my first song and never looked back. After graduating, I moved to Gulfport, Mississippi and continued to pursue my dreams and building my brand. In 2007, I recorded a song called "D-Boy Rock" that swept the Gulf Coast by storm, gaining opening act placements on the biggest stages around, sharing performance time along side; Lil Boosie, Webbie, T-Pain, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Many More. The grind continued through the years moving to New York for a year, building industry relationships and learning the ropes of the music business.

@ChrisLee503 “UNDER THE INFLUENCE” HOSTED BY @Djfatboy



Portland, Oregon artist Chris Lee delivers his brand new concept project, “Under The Influence”. Consisting of ten tracks, Lee has managed to sum up the view of today’s young adult mentality of living under the influence and partying it up. The Northwesterner also manages to mix this all in with a love story that leaves one to think if this is an actual person or Chris’ love of being “Under The Influence”. An album that offers chill beats and smoker friendly lyricism, one could compare Lee’s style to a young Wiz Khalifa. Stream “Under The Influence” below and then go download the project via Chris’s Bandcamp page for free (name your price).
