Bobby Raps is experimenting in 2017. He’s been doing shows, but the St. Paul, Minnesota artist has gotten away from the R&B-Folk type of music he was doing, and is now going more in a Hip Hop-Rock direction. Today’s “Purgatory” joint is awesome. Bobby speaks out against the demons, and fallout, of the pill popping...
Devon Alexander comes out firing with the Empty Promises 4-track project. He’s talented, and brings Hip Hop and Rock together seamlessly, showcasing his ability to adapt his songwriting to different types of records. Some quality riding music.

3rd hits hard on the “Too Deep” sample from OVO Sound’s DVSN (June 10, 2016). This shiny “Chandelier” record might even the group’s most lyrical masterpiece to date. Their mellow vibes go right along with the Canadian R&B team. The Wisco natives speak to their recent grind and efforts with a light touch. See their...
Nefelibata singer and emcee, track athlete and magician – Drúdini is doing it and doing it well. Drú shows that he can stand alone on the track with “Rewind It”. We’ll call it Flow and Blues. This young man has a future in music. He’s taking R&B and rap to a cooler place. “My inspiration...
