Izzy Strange returns to the forefront with his second power packed single "Things Changed" featuring Rhymesayers very own, Nikki Jean.

Lifted from off his forthcoming EP, "I"m From Where You're From", Izzy and frequent collaborator Nate Fox construct a fell good anthem that speaks about reflection. That reflection is looking at just how things change whether it's your mindset or hometown. Change is inevitable in life but ultimately, you have the choice to grow on your own terms or be forced into it. Nate provides the playful production as Izzy and Nikki trade real life tales that will surely have you traveling down memory lane.

 "Things Change" follows Izzy Strange's first single, "What You Tryna Do?", which features an incredible feature from Feddie Gibbs and was picked up by sites such as All Hip Hop and Hip Hop Since 1987. Nikki Jean adds an incredible vibe to the single by not only contributing a verse but also provides the hook. She's been hard at work since signing onto the Rhymesayers imprint and released her latest album, "Beautiful Prison".

"Things Change" is yet another solid release crafted by the Pennsylvanian emcee who now calls Las Vegas home. Listen to "Things Change" below and stay tuned for more music and "I'm From Where You're From" to arrive very soon.

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.

Talented emcee Lee Ricks is keeping a fast and furious pace with his forthcoming project "Beats For Breakfast" with avant garde Hip Hop producer, BigBob. The latest track, "Life's a Bitch", is LR’s vivid description of realistic experiences and world views filled with dense wordplay and imposing delivery.

There is so much imagination and purpose in Lee Ricks language that nothing's diminutive about the sharply written prose, substantial syllables and parading imagery. BigBob highlights the Scarborough lyricist by creating a mellifluous sound that soothes and hypnotizes seamlessly. Stream "Life's a Bitch" on Audiomack and stay plugged in for the album to drop.

 

The Milwaukee marauder, Taiyamo Denku, continues powering forward campaigning his recently released LP, "No Industry Standard". Side by side with fellow producer cohort Dcypha, the pair continue delivering nothing but high quality Hip Hop. Enter the third single from said album, "Still Waiting", featuring highly compelling jewels shared by Griselda Records own, Benny The Butcher. 

The song begins with a sick piano melody that gets split by soulful horn and vocal samples. Denku sets up the record's concept with a short introduction that rides into the chorus that states, "no matter how things get, they still waiting for change / stages of life, sleep half of the days". After the intital hook, Taiyamo and Benny begin assaulting the mic with brolic bars of knowledge, hoping to wake up the unknowing. "Still Waiting" is a stand out cut from "No Industry Standard" and is the second feature from the Griselda camp. The album's lead single, "Be Who You Are", was another super soulful clapper and featured Conway The Machine.

"No Industry Standard" has quite a few hits on it's hands. The two aforementioned singles, "Fabulous Life" with Lil Kim, it's title track and much more. Benny is still pumping his "A Friend Of Ours" project. A fan favorite of 2018, the project carries guest appearances by 38 Spesh, El Camino, Dark Lo, Skyzoo and others. Both albums are available to preview / purchase on Bandcamp, nice additions to add to your Hip Hop collection.

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.

 

Taiyamo Denku Ft L Majestic - Prove Your Worth @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".
