DaTBoYZ3L - Danger (Audio) @DaTBoYZ3L

Living in the times we do these days, you just never know what can come your way. Violence and hate is at an all time high while the common folk struggle to survive. "Danger" lurks around nearly every corner, especially in the streets of Jackson, Tennessee where DaTBoYZ3L calls home. The new single is Z3L's lead single to his forthcoming sophomore album, "DaTseason".

The young artist paints a chilling picture of the turmoil he's endured while offering eye opening advice on how to maneuver thru life's strenuous obstacles. Z3L explains that it honestly doesn't matter what your social status, race or gender is, we are all able to fall victim to experiencing dangerous situations. It's up to you to play the game smart and always be aware of your surroundings, never let your guard down.

DaTBoY contracts Letthatboycook once again for the stunning production number that is bursting with soulful energy and bone chilling vocal structures that play like a musical revival. Word also has it that there's a lyrical video soon to follow and even a possible official video later this year. Z3L's not only a talented songwriter and artist, he's also a bonified hustler.

Continuing to build momentum behind his clothing apparel line, #DaTGEAR, he shows no signs of slowing his momentum anytime soon. Tune in to "Danger" on Spotify and Apple Music while keeping a close eye on DaTBoYZ3L in the coming months.

Kiyana + Rocko "This Habit"

Atlanta is making this track, their strip club anthem. It's well deserved. Their hometown princess, Kiyana, displays her R&B ability, with Rocko Da Don, spitting his verse equally raw. 

"This Habit" is Kiyana's return from her round of hits dating back a few years ago - her previous single "Take Me Away" and "No Love" reached over 200K views. Her break consisted of writing for top R&B artists such as KeKe Palmer. The song was produced by SL Mistro.

Dolla Black ft. Fred Nice - Money

Now we all know that cash isn't everything, but you certainly cannot live without it. Jackson, Mississippi's Dolla Black keeps this in mind as he releases his new summer single "Money". On the track, Dolla documents his hustler's mindstate and how focused he is on attaining the bag. The catchy single comes just in time for summer and is one that the accomplished MC feels is some of his best music yet.

Money is one of those records that I KNEW was gonna reach new levels when I put the final mix on it ... it had that feeling. Fred did the heavy lifting as far as the hook and concept and all I had to do was make sure to not drop the ball on the verses. Definitely one of my favorite to date. - Dolla Black

Joining Dolla on the record, is Oxford, Mississippi artist, Fred Nice, who also produces the single. It comes as the lead-off to the June 15th "Still Black" EP, which is to be distributed through LyfeStyle Entertainment, Bungalo Records and Universal Music Group.

Taiyamo Denku Ft Lil Kim & The Genius - "Fabulous Life" (Audio) @TaiyamoDenku

When it comes to speaking about life, we all have our own personal views of what success truly means. Some would say it's all about vast amounts of money while others would describe health, happiness and family. Whatever the case may be one thing is for sure, we all strive to lead a "Fabulous Life". Milwaukee based emcee Taiyamo Denku digs deep into this topic alongside Boston R&B vocalist The Genius and the notorious Queen Bee herself, Lil Kim.


Produced by Australian beatsmith, Dcypha, the Miami Vice sounding keys and crisp drums perfectly match the trio's verbal approach. Kim Jones delivers a verse that would make a young Lil Kim extremely proud. She even makes a reference to the revealing outfit she wore back in 1999 at the MTV VMAs. The Brooklyn femcee is still living fabulously with high end designer threads and her promiscuous word play.

Taiyamo approaches the track in two different ways. In his first verse, he rhymes about how money doesn't truly determine your social status. Denku is a hard working artist with hundreds of songs in the vault, some of which carry features from some of Hip Hop's biggest legends. He tours relentlessly and handles alot of his own promo. He lightly mentions these things in the song but it's his responsibilities as a father and as a true emcee of the culture that he values the most. His next verse finds Taiyamo in a reminiscent state of mind as he looks back at his accolades and finds true happiness in knowing he's had a long lived music career, albeit the vast amount of dollars.

"Fabulous Life" is the last single to be released from Denku's forthcoming album, "No Industry Standard". Previous singles included the lead off single featuring Conway The Machine titled "Be Who You Are" and the Psycho Lez produced "Stand Back". The album will also feature Chino XL, KRS One, Benny The Butcher and more. The album is currently available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

 

Yng Hstlr - Let Her Go (Audio) @ynghstlr

Yng Hstlr urges the fellas who may be chasing overly promiscuous women to cut it off asap thru his new single, "Let Her Go". With an audio clip fresh from the hit television series, "Martin", the southern swinger leads by example in this ultra mellow tune.

Yng Hstlr is an up and coming music artist based in Houston, Texas. He is known for his anime analogies and reverbing hooks in his songs. The melodic flows and inverted voice in his music has given him a recognizable signature sound that is avidly captivated by his fan base. With hits like "creww", "Apple Watch" and "Time to Ball", Yng Hstlr has created a unique sound that matches his lucrative lifestyle.

Taiyamo Denku Ft L Majestic - Prove Your Worth (Audio) @TaiyamoDenku @majestic_l

In an era where lyricism and substance are becoming an endangered species, Milwaukee native Taiyamo Denku and Australian beatsmith Dcypha take a blunt stance on the matter. Alongside east coast emcee L Majestic, the trio call out unfit artists on "Prove Your Worth", forcing them to validate their position on the mic.

Denku, who is extremely proactive when it comes to voicing his views on the genre, kicks the song off by explaining the outcome of fraudulent rappers in the streets of Milwaukee. On the hook he spits, "prove this / prove that / prove that you're worth something, no money attached". This is a play on the notion that emceeing should be based on skills and credibility, not plays and finances.

L Majestic takes this notion one step further and beyond by taking us into the matrix of the music business. He keeps it all the way one hundred with lines like, "I stay doing this music because I'm dedicated / I refuse to be a washed up rapper who never made it / cause deep in my heart, I know I truly flow / but it's not about how nice you are, it's who you know".

All egos aside, Denku, Majestic and Dcypha simple want to see the art form they hold so near and dear to their hearts alive and well for many generations to come. With that said, it's your turn to step up to the Hip Hop counsel and "Prove Your Worth".

 

UU Ft Lil Byron - "Bread Up" (Single) @uuondatrack

UU and Lil Byron collaborates for a 6th time on their latest single "Bread Up", which encourages females in an economically and financially deprived relationship to tell their significant other to get their money up.

Rosegold - "Lavi$h Habit$" (Single) | @ugly_rosegold

"Lavi$h Habit$", the new self-produced single from Rosegold, is a track that tells the story of chemical and emotional addiction. This track is driven by hard hitting 808 bass-lines, rhythmic percussion and ethereal synth melodies all wrapped together with emotional, spectral and ominous vocals that deliver a story of unequal love, lust, addiction, and isolation.

Menace feat. Trinidad Jame$ & King Chip - "Kyrie"

This is Menace's first project which he is working on and wants a cool record that he had complete control over from the lyrics to the beat. This record came to life while in the studio in L.A with Trinidad Jame$. Menace was playing some beats and when this one came on, Jame$ told him to load it up, he said: "This is the one". It was around NBA playoffs and the Cavs were playing the Warriors on the big screen in the studio and Kyrie did a crazy move and Trinidad got the hook from it. Saying "I feel like I'm Kyrie you can't check me". So Menace just sat on the record for a while and two weeks ago he turned on Sports Center and Kyrie is the talk of the town with his trade to the Celtics. 

So it was only right he releases the record now with all this Kyrie hype. Menace is currently working on some records with Nines who is one of U.K's biggest artists. He cut a record with Dave East but it didn't make his last album so he might release it on this project too. Menace has been working closely with a lot of songwriters this quarter to try and place bigger records. He has a lot in store for the remainder of the year and let's not forget Panda still breaking records.

"Hus Kingpin has always been a supporter of what I do. When he reached out and said 'Let's get one in for the history books' Agor and I knew Distress Signals was the perfect art piece for this wonderful collaboration."

Dev Maccc gets Deep on "Hidden Message" | @MacccDev

Mississippi riser, Dev Maccc, comes with his new single “Hidden Message.” The track is a strong effort, allowing Dev to vent lyrically on a bevy of topics including racism, self-doubt, family and much more. In regards to the song Dev had the following to say:

"This track has been tucked away for almost a year now. I was excited to release this because I felt like people would finally understand so much. If I could at least get people to LISTEN to the music. Sit back and focus on what I'm saying. Then, maybe we can start a true movement. A movement for change."

Ayoo Cheveyo - "Comeupits" @AyooCheveyo (Album)

Unbeknownst to most, the music scene out of Chicago contains way more than just rapid fire rhymes and Drill. The underground Hip Hop scene has been flourishing for years and only continues to grow. One of those artists emerging from within goes by the name of Ayoo Cheveyo. He just recently released the second installment of the four-part "Ayoo Cheveyo Presents" series.

The concept all brewed from a screen play he wrote prior to the idea. The album contains a whopping nineteen songs in total with standout cuts "The Block Forgot Him Longer" and "Rock Ya' Body". For "Comeupits", Cheveyo paints true life scenarios inspired by his move from Chicago to Madison. We find him coming to terms with people and things he left behind there as well. Hip Hop heads and smokers will especially take a liking to Ayoo due in part to his easy going flow and airy production selections. Check it out for yourself and feel free to download a free copy of "Comeupits" afterward.
