Aaron Cohen - Feminist
HYPETRAK proudly premieres the new music video from Seattle spitter, Aaron
Cohen. "Feminist" was produced by ASAP TY Beats, and serves as a prime example
of what's given Aaron much buzz and appeal surrounding his artistry. The sheer
lyricism that holds ground in each verse, seemingly with no word-fillers or
gimmicky rhymes, the beat selection, the grit. ICK is his movement, otherwise
known as the Inner City Kids - a group that's become one of NYC's buzzing
hip-hop collectives in the past couple of months. “MURK” drops this August in
conjunction with Mishka, until then let this Ricky Shabazz directed music video
above hold you down. Download the single here.

Doe Cigapom - CagedBirds (Feat. DaNedra Rowel)
Doe Cigapom (“Deliver On Emotions” & “Can I Get Peace Of Mind”) acronym illustrates his mission to shed light on the very real healing powers of music. Throughout his own difficult life experiences, music has been the remedy for Doe’s peace of mind.
Doe was born and raised in Washington D.C. at a time when our nation’s capital was undergoing historic struggles. This undeniably had a direct impact on his upbringing, but as Doe emphasizes “there was always music” as his main source of solace.
As it often happens for many of our most cherished artists, as a child Doe became mesmerized by the music (particularly the drums) of the church services he attended as a child with his mother, prompting him to pursue teaching music and eventually becoming one of the most preeminent timbales and conga players in the effervescent “Go Go” music scene of D.C. while still only a teenager.
After college, Doe’s interests gradually began shifting towards a more Hip-Hop related sound, which combined his rhythmic abilities with his love of poetry. Soon thereafter, he began rapping at local venues, using it as a therapeutic platform to confront the painful experiences of his past; and as Doe states “giving him a new lease of life.”
This summer, Doe Cigapom will release a collaborative EP entitled, CagedBirds, with producer Soulful! via the upstart Indie Love Enterprises Company. The first taste of the CagedBirds EP can be seen here as the group releases their self-titled first video “CagedBirds” f/ DaNedra Rowel.
Nina B - Somebody’s Daughter (Nas Cover)
Nina B, New York's most promising female hip hop artist, gets heartfelt over the instrumental of Nas’ “Daughters.” Nina recounts Nas’ influence on her and her chance meeting with Nas.
“Nas has always been such a big influence on my career in so many ways, meeting him a while back reaffirmed why I love painting portraits with words. Minutes before taking this picture for BET, Nas gave me advice which would be the proverbial polish to my diamond/gift. He told me to write from the heart and not from the head; besides "The heart knows more about beats, the head recalls events, but heart recreates the moments feeling." Listening to "Daughters" vividly brought me back to that moment and this is what I recorded---enjoy”!Nina B’s forthcoming LP collaboration with DJ Jazzy Joyce, "Titles Are Played Out." will be released on 8-21-2012 and includes features by Action Bronson, Skyzoo and Dylan of 'Making The Band.'

14KT - Blessed
14KT is blessed and he knows it. In the video for his track "Blessed", the Ypsilanti producer takes the viewer on a tour of his life, highlighting key aspects that make it worth living.
KT takes us into his home life to see his family, he shows us his studio and we tag along as he goes digging at Encore Recordings in neighboring Ann Arbor. The magic is in the details: being in the kitchen with moms, the genuine daps exchanged with the crew in the studio and geeking out with Buff1 over a Mongo Santamaria vinyl at the record shop.
KT says, "Blessed was basically all shot on a random Sunday. Andy (film director) and I just grabbed the camera and press record. Most of the video wasn't planned. I wanted to give everyone a mini-photo album of candid "normal" moments that I get to experience daily. As "normal" as these things may look, many people don't get the opportunity to experience what many may consider a "normal" life. Hence the title, Blessed. "
There's a part towards the end of the video where KT is outside while it snows, alone and visibly elated. There is often an underlying theme of faith in KT's work and "Blessed" is no different. It's not explicit, but one can infer KT's gratitude for a life filled with family, friends and music, truly a blessing.

La Coka Nostra - Mind Your Business (Prod DJ Premier)
Always known for tackling controversial topic matter, the group’s sophomore project, Masters Of The Dark Arts, (release date 7-31-2012) finds them once again in torch-bearing mode, addressing subjects that most artists shy away from as ILL BILL illustrates “as conceptually and musically dark as this album appears to be, there's also a flip side layer to it that you may not notice until you listen to it a few times. Masters Of The Dark Arts is a storm before the calm and a celebration of the good things in life that can only be achieved by walking directly into the heart of darkness and facing your inner demons head on."
While the group’s roster has been trimmed slightly due to Everlast having to leave the group (for personal reasons), La Coka Nostra returns re-invigorated and fresh off of a recently completed seventeen-city European tour which saw them rock crowds in eleven different countries “I think we approached Masters Of The Dark Arts with a chip on our shoulder and really took it back to our original mission of hardcore Hip-Hop amidst all the circus bullshit that is so prevalent in the current landscape of the genre. We are aware of the perception that somehow the group has suffered a loss we can’t recover from and in response we made an album that is the most conceptually focused and hardest hitting soundscape in the group’s history” Slaine asserts.
La Coka Nostra’s Masters Of The Dark Arts will impact on 7-31-2012 and be released by Fat Beat Records.
