Already pulling in a thousand views on Youtube, JADDA’s “03” is a New York banger awaiting. Albeit, it pulls from the trap sonics of the South, and drill-inspired sensibilities of the UK, it still carries that legendary, lyrical essence of the East Coast. The BKAY-produced record spotlights JADDA as an upcoming magnet for modern, Brooklyn rap. Through the pinging triangles, hellish melodies, and indomitable drums, the Empire State rapper unquestionably shows off. He batters the beat with no consideration for the heat he discharges, resulting in a fiery anthem that every burrow will ultimately embrace. For, “03” is that igniting. Alongside 22Gz, Casanova 2x, Young M.A., and other contemporary reflectors of Brooklyn rap, JADDA is yet another example of New York Hip-Hop’s evolution. Only his is positioned to create a tidal wave about the East Coast, and wash an energy onto the city that has never been felt before.

Just like that, it is here. After previously blessing us with their spectacular “Flux Capacitor” drop, Houston’s answer to The Wu-Tang Clan and early Pro Era, The Band of The Hawk, have finally released their “Kangol” project. Completely produced by original BOHUP member, Noah Archangel, and mostly upheld by Yeaux Majesty’s idiosyncratic rhymes, “Kangol” is this Texas collective’s 2019 endowment to the world of lo-fi, underground Hip-Hop. A world wherein they are slowly, but surely, becoming kings. The coronation occurs through a bevy of rap-heavy, boom-bap jams. Between sample-driven instrumentals, skits, and the lyrical ventures of featured BOHUP artists, Yeaux Majesty and Noah Archangel string together an impressively cohesive offering. Bangers, such as “Downtown Friday Nights”, “Bedrock”, “‘19 Mentality”, “Golden Child”, and “All U Need” flow seamlessly down this river of Golden Age musicality. If not for the apparent tracklist, “Kangol” could very much be presented as one, elongated piece of music; and that quality alone makes it superior to every other project released alongside it. In the space and history of lyrical, archaic, underground Hip-Hop, this project could very well become a classic. And The Band of The Hawk, the South’s answer to the legendary, old-school rap crews we hardly go a day without giving praise.

If New Jersey did not have a lyrical prince ready to ascend to their Hip-Hop throne before, they do now. He goes by the name of J-Carter; and with every stroke of his pen this year, the Garden State emcee has proven well-ready for the crown. J-Carter deserves much praise for his grind and indomitable work-ethic on his latest body of work as he gets loaded up to drop 38 new tracks for his new album, “Take Hip-Hop Back”.  The beauty of “Take Hip-Hop Back” is that it perfectly encapsulates two generations; two sounds of the New Jersey lifestyle. On one plane, it embodies the lyrical aggression, depth and bravado of the Redmans, Joe Buddens, and Treachs who built upon the foundation for East Coast Hip-Hop. On the other hand, it warmly embraces the sonics of today: boasting 808s, malicious, synth-based melodies, and jarring trap drums. This puts the nine-track opus on the ideal axis of a 2019 Hip-Hop album. It is, essentially, an onslaught of lyrical bangers; that in J-Carter’s own words, “...the people will have no choice but to hear...”.

Walk with Paul as he chooses the rough path but ultimately climbs to the mountain top. Follow his Paul Marz' growing movement and read the press release below.

The Shaolin emcee raps "Bury my ego than resurrect because it's Death of a Star, Rise of Titan". Over the last few years Paul has taken a backseat to the spotlight spending 1000's of hours building up the battle rap scene with childhood friend Lexx Luthor. 'Death of a Star' is his message to the world confirming he would prefer to shine light on the new generation of emcees. This track solidifies his role as humble giant in the rap game."

Vibrant, piano strikes are the first things to shine through the mix of “Circle Too Small”. That is before the audacious flows of Heatray and Fargo introduce something even brighter to the track: their duo, 2 LIT. Amid the bounce of 808s, and syncopation of trap drums, this Washington, DC-Atlanta, Georgia team give stellar, sprightly performances; resulting in one of the most radio-ready records of the month. Everything about “Circle Too Small” perfectly coincides. The deathly lyricism of 2 LIT blends smoothly with the devious production of Trackdealer, whilst both elements uniquely match a ghostly, jet-black cover art. “My circle too small, gang members only / I walk around with the M and M’s on me!” Styles of the DMV and ATL both bite viciously through this hardbody single. Its subjects and atmosphere are teeming with the darkness of DC; while its rhythm, delivery and flow are something no true ATLien can ignore. Through fusing those two styles, 2 LIT has cultivated an invincible sound. One that will rocket them, and “Circle Too Small” straight to the club-rocking top.

Philly Blocks is as slick as can be on his fresh, Kentucky anthem, “Days Of Our Lives”. Packed with an accompanying music video, which features the rapper fancying a typical, Louisville night, this new-age trap smash is beyond impressive. The Bluegrass State emcee brings his best wordplay, delivery and metaphors to this nearly three-minute opus. Stark 808s boom across a malevolent melody, with scattering hihats and trap drums, as Philly Blocks raps about his upbringing in those Southern streets. What juts out about “Days Of Our Lives” is how lyrical the record is, and how vivid its visual grows to be. Both elements of this hardbody effort get better and better as the runtime lunges on. Between scenes of the talented spitter frequenting corner stores, blocks, and his fellow Team 563 members, Philly Blocks delivers a lyrical performance synonymous to the greats of the Golden Era. He is precise with every bar he lays in the booth; and that precision not only enhances “Days Of Our Lives”, but likewise makes the Kentucky rapper a treasure in the current era of Hip-Hop.

If you were unaware of the city of Opelousas’s existence before, P.A.T. will be damned if you are not enlightened by the end of this record. He, alongside iconic emcee, KXNG Crooked, land on “Soul 4 Real” with the intention of leaving a mark. One that puts this phenomenal lyricist, as well as his Louisiana city, undoubtedly on the map. At least, that is the impression you’ll receive listening to P.A.T. rip through verses on the new-age boom-bap track. He is lyrically relentless on “Soul 4 Real”; spitting bars that hold both introspective and conscious weight. KXNG Crooked takes this angle a step further with his own 16, ridiculing emcees who spend more time rapping about their riches than speaking a heartfelt, beneficial message to their fans. When placed over such a futuristic, electronic melody, pulsating 808s, and dusty Golden Era drums, these verses purely convey that Hip-Hop has indeed been resurrected; and it is taking an evolved, sonic form. “Soul 4 Real” is that illuminating. It shows how easily conscious rap and new-age Hip-Hop can fuse to create an anthemic hit any lover of the culture can stand behind. All thanks to the artistic capacity of P.A.T. With little over three minutes, he proves that he is one of Louisiana’s most gilded upcomers; and Opelousas is clearly a goldmine.

Go into MDAATH’s 2018 long-player, “MXD, Pt. II” expecting another typical, trap-rap album, you are in for a rude awakening. Do not be fooled by the clips of “Goodfellas” and “Blow” that commence the album; because the moment this Ohio rapper utters his first word, and that tranquil beat drops, your entire world will be flipped upside down. You will be suckerpunched by the intro, “Grade A”; and this onslaught will carry on for the next thirty-five minutes you are with him. MDAATH harbors his own, unorthodox way of creating a modern rap album. One that can not be easily compared to the artists and sounds that rival him. Granted, this Cleveland talent does dive into the commercial trap aesthetic with the speaker-slamming “Mexico” (feat. Donnell Kane), “Remain”, “Welcome 2 The Dusk”, and “Like That”; these jams are essential to highlighting the individuality of every other piece on the project. They draw your focus to the incredible boom-bap, lyricism and flow of “Ogz”, “Take Flight”, and “Get Up”; making you appreciate MDAATH’s noteworthy potential. With his unique subject matter, crossing topics of the streets, yearn for wealth, and praise of God; alongside his shining use of rhythm and melody, many of these tracks strike as songs only MDAATH could create. He absolutely has his own handle of the art of rap; and with the versatility displayed on this radiant “MXD, Pt. II”, he is only a handshake away from a mainstream break.

Slowly, a menacing piano and synth creep into your speakers. They transform into a full-paced, catchy progression, afore being cut by the raspy cough of the very person who’d come to slaughter them. 40Flexinn is his name; and with the bars/delivery of his latest opus, “High Flow”, this East Chicago emcee proves no beat is safe in the radius of his studio. He completely shreds the trap groove of this “High Flow” instrumental, with lyrics bouncing off of each and every 808 that pounds the mix. The pitter-patter of hi-hats carries his passion cleanly throughout the track. And his lyrical viciousness? That is punctuated by every snare’s smack. If “High Flow” is simply a freestyle; it is unfathomable what havoc this Windy City rapper will release when full-fledged. For he has already crafted an outstanding anthem. One the city, and streets beyond it, are destined to rotate.
