We love being involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry, especially where producers and beat battles are concerned. Shoutout to Moose Harris for our invite to The Track Meet Beat Battle this past Thursday! It was an awesome event – we can’t wait until the next one!
Mississippi has a diamond in the rough, just waiting to be discovered and he goes by the name of Taurean la’Del.
This twenty-something Neo Soul crooner has the makings of a superstar – a little of this, a little of that and a whole lot of talent! His new single “Be The One”, is available everywhere music is sold.
They say “trends” and “classics” tend to come back around after several decades. We can only hope this is true with music, particularly rap music and the art of emceeing. Will we see a resurgence in REAL, true Hip Hop any time soon? That remains to be seen. Until then though, we can thank sites like Hip Hop Golden Age (HHGA) for keeping the real alive and relevant. You can also count on their countdowns on the dopest albums, artists, producers, and DJs of all time, as well as some of the best playlists you’ll find anywhere.
“Iron Bars” is the creation of four of the dopest emcees to ever touch a mic. The production is pure, unadulterated Hip Hop laced with solid lyrics and a Kool G Rap hook that rivals any verse in rap history. Papoose, Uniqme and Canibus show off their true lyrical skills, with clever word play and a solid flow.
Stream “Iron Bars,” produced by Justin Tyme/R. Gwada (sunnycyde@gmx.ch).
The song from rising star Jay Jones features R&B sensation Denisia.
Jay Jones hit the scene several years ago and has steadily been making moves ever since. This multiple award winning artist is working hard to solidify a position among the greats. His lyrical skills are unrivaled. Jay has toured and performed with major artists, including Lil Wayne, Fetty Wap, Dej Loaf, and more. He was also featured on Fetty Wap’s “The Zoo”, a hit song with a video that garnered millions of views. Jay has also been working closely with Lil Wayne.
Stream “S.I.N.S.,” produced by KC (@KCDAPRODUCER).
The single is from four of New Orleans’ premiere artists, CEO Drama (CEO of Flawless Entertainment), 3D Na-Tee (one of the top females emcees), Kidd Kidd (of G-Unit), and Jahbo (the former No Limit hookman). They collaborate on “The N.O.”, lacing gritty lyrics and clever wordplay over this bass laden track. This is sure to become the new N.O. “anthem”.
New Orleans superstar J Lyric (a/k/a @JASONLYRIC on social media) just released his new single entitled “Facetime“. The song features internet sensation and fellow rapper Tokyo Vanity (@TokyoXVanity). As you can see, the visuals are on point and showcase the beauty of New Orleans’ world famous Lakefront. Yuset Pozo and Rafael Medina directed the video which includes drone shots far above Lake Ponchartrain and the drop top Bentley occupied by Tokyo during filming. Comedians Mario P (@_MarioDaComic_) and Rob Kazi (@tob_kazi) also have cameos and can be seen macking on Tokyo and her friends in classic New Orleans style!
In the first few days after Spinrilla leaked the single, it garnered over 20,000 downloads. “Facetime” is available for purchase on all major digital retail outlets, including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and more and is, of course, available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and all other major streaming platforms.
Be on the lookout for new music from J Lyric, including a project entitled “Loyalty Over Love“, where he will drop nothing but hits. This is an artist to watch. He’s put in work for a minute and it’s about to pay off in huge dividends.
