Bakersfield, CA rap trio Hoodlum Squad delivers their latest single “What U Talkin Bout” from their recently-released debut album, Season, via Dogsled Music.

The group is currently made up of three active members, including Tommy Brown a.k.a "Teflon Hoodlum,” Derrick Gage a.k.a “Field Boy P. Hoodlum" and Marcus Crompton a.k.a “Mack 11 Hoodlum."

On the smooth, laid-back track, each member showcases their lyrical versatility over production that’s infused with street-rap and trap-soul with elements of traditional R&B.

You can find “What U Talkin Bout” on the Squad’s latest album, Season, that features 11 exclusive tracks that embody a dope mix of old-school Hip-Hop and new-school street.

The album title was inspired by the fact that it’s playable in every season. Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, the sound and vibe will always match.

The name also symbolizes that it’s now the group’s season and they’re more than ready to take over the game.

If you’re looking for refreshing new-age rap with an authentic street edge, check out Hoodlum Squad’s single “What U Talkin Bout” as well as their full-length Season album today.

California to its core, “Clownin’” by Lil Scotty P is a speaker-shaking banger. It is the Lancaster rapper’s debut single for 2019, threaded with a new-age, West Coast charisma. Roaring, distorted 808s boom across “Clownin’”; adding fuel to the sinful melody, pattering hihats, and Golden state claps on the record. This beat proves to be the perfect plate on which Lil Scotty P can devour his competition. He unleashes a ravenous, high-energy delivery coupled with an unorthodox flow through “Clownin’”. A Californian pain is easily detectable in the West Coast rapper’s inflection. Each bar on his latest release comes from a place of trial and tribulation in the Lancaster streets; energized by the stories and references Lil Scotty P makes to his SoCal lifestyle. Just as Lil Scotty P remains true to the city that bred him, “Clownin’” remains true to the West Coast Hip-Hop sound; all the while putting its creator in a league of his own.

Florida spitter, Yung Booz, opens single with the mention that “An OG once told me ‘Boy, you hot in these streets when you touch that microphone.’” Four minutes later, it’s crystal clear that the man wasn’t lying. Not one bit.



“All Or Nothing”, Booz’s latest, Stackz Up Michael-produced drop is a quintessential, Southern trap smash, featuring a chantable chorus, and booth-burning bars. On the record, our Sanford soldier details just how dedicated he is to prospering; telling each and every way he’s willing to get that almighty dollar. The hook comes overflowing with that infamous, addictive, and melodically-pleasing Southern deliverance we all know and love. It’s pure, and poised to excite any crowd he may perform for. When it comes to his verses, that very same crowd just might fly into a riot. Booz brings an infectious energy and aggression to his raps. You won’t simply listen to his lyrics. You will feel every syllable he shouts, because each and every last one of them clearly come from his spirit. His unyielding spirit, the very same spirit that keeps him devoted to succeeding, gives every word its own powerful punch. If he holds on to that spirit, pushing this record with everything he’s got, “All Or Nothing” will be flying up the charts.

“Restoring the feel” is more than a phrase for Wisconsin wordsmith, Obi Khan. With his latest opus, “THC-4”, Khan draws a lyrical line in the sand between himself, and his new-school contemporaries. In a class of freshman, the Madison-based madman gives 16, sample-heavy reasons why he is among Honors. His beat selection is inarguable; consisting of some of the most diabolical, yet divine boom-bap you’ll hear all year. Predominately produced by Thanos Beats, these instrumentals are tried and true of the cornerstone of 90s Hip-Hop. They feature dingy, vinyl-samples and apposite vocals embedded in each borrowed record. From a production standpoint, the joint “Where Do I Go” has to be one of the album’s crowning moments. It features a Draculean melody, voiced through an organ, chaperoned by rusty boom-bap drums and a vocal sample that echoes the words of the song’s title. On the record, and every other that graces this masterpiece, the Obi Khan delivers excellently. He raps with such a guttural growl in his delivery, that seems to spawn from an unseen abyss within him. This apocalyptic aggression is exactly what amplifies his lyricism; making your ears want to listen to every bar he spits. On tracks such as “Bionic Man”, “Gods (ft. Thanos & Arewhy of Brotherhood 603)”, “Faded”, “Kamala (ft. Professa Dibbs)”, “Time”, “Itch The Scratch (ft. Thanos & Jabba the Kut)” and “Check the GRhyme (ft. DJ PAIN 1)”, the Midwest rhymesayer utterly disembowels the microphone; rapping circles around any of your favorite emcees. Although, I have a slew of personal favorites from the project, it can easily be played front to back without any skips or interruptions. Obi Khan has crafted a timeless hip-hop masterpiece, worth a thousand times more than he’s offering it for. If you’re a fan of lyrical greatness, dirty boom-bap, and overall, underground ingenuity, “THC-4” can not be ignored.
