Chris James - Poison

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, James first developed a passion for music when a woman from his father’s job gave his family an antique player piano, the type of old-school piano that can play itself. James would spend hours following the notes the piano played, in effect teaching himself how to read music. His father’s friend from work also left stacks of books of music, tomes James read repeatedly. When he learned how to play “Amazing Grace,” a new world presented itself. “Once I started learning how to play songs,” he says, “it really inspired me to make my own songs.” By 2012, James’ music made its way to Rich America and John Monopoly, the veteran manager and talent scout who has worked with Kanye West, No I.D. and Shawnna, among others. James says that John Monopoly’s guidance has been invaluable. “I’ve learned from him how to make sure everything is complete and to fill up my tracks,” James states. “He and his team, they’ve shown me how to add the missing pieces and make sure that my music captivates people the whole way through.” Chris James’ debut LP, L.I.F.E., (Love Isn’t For Everyone) which will be released in 2014 is a searing collection of music that introduces the Chicago native as the next voice of soul; a superior songwriter whose musicianship and production are already among the genre’s best.

Logan P. McCoy - Black Morning

Brooklyn rapper Logan P. McCoy presents the Dylan Verrechia-directed music video for "Black Morning", the new single from his EP Strength Of Character. "Black Morning" captures the frustration I felt as a young man in desperate need for personal change but without a clue as to how to bring about this change in my life," says Logan.

In my alcohol and weed fueled meditation, I reached the conclusion that death might be the necessary catalyst for the change that I was so desperately seeking." Logan describes the Strength Of Character EP as "an experiment that became the foundation of a new sound. Initially my idea was to poke fun at '90s style rock/pop music that MTV had made popular. Being first and foremost an underground MC, I thought it would be funny being that I didn't play any instruments and knew nothing about making rock music. Having no band or instruments to craft the sound I had in mind, I decided to follow the Hip Hop tradition that I came from of flipping what I had to accomplish my goals." Strength Of Character is available now on Logan's Bandcamp page.

"I brought on Rome Cee and Kane Mayfield for the track, although the version for the video only has Rome. Both Rome and Kane know how to paint vivid pictures and were able to bring that clear imagery of what the whole 90's Hip Hop shit was really like.

This record is dedicated to imperfection and the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully, you listen to this record, reflect on the ups & downs of life, and see the beauty in all."

O.B. & SaFE -- You & I (Prod. By Reese Jones)

Paterson, NJ rapper and M.O.B. Stars leader O.B. presents the Jimmy Giambrone-directed music video for "You & I", the Reese Jones-produced first single from his forthcoming album Celestial Offerings. "You & I" features fellow M.O.B. Stars member SaFE. "The song was inspired by a need to bring back that competitive edge in hip hop," says O.B. "Not a lot of rappers at the time of its conception were delivering a lot of wit and aggressiveness while still being lyrical. We sought out to do just that and remain extremely polished at the same time. The video deals with the concept of 'In A Perfect World'. In that world, people, particularly women, wouldn't stray from very lyrical, intellectual hip hop. In fact, it would be essential and a part of their daily lives just like a lot of the mainstream stuff is. We wanted to show people who were just as dedicated to our music and by doing so, breaking the taboos surrounding underground and indie artists." Celestial Offerings drops November 30 featuring J Nolan, Culture Kev, Dano B. Picasso, Bretagne, RaCharm, Arkutec, Bravestarr, QB Da Problem, Kingshon and Nu Vintage.

Moe - No Holds Barred

New Orleans rapper Moe presents the Erik Bartney-directed music video for "No Holds Barred", the Automatik Beats-produced single from the third volume of his mixtape series Is Anybody Listening, which features beats from Humbeats and Trackanometry. Born at Charity Hospital - the same hospital as Lil Wayne - both his parents were incarcerated by the time he was 6, leaving him in the care of his grandmother. Moe was writing rhymes by the time she moved him to Los Angeles a few years later, "often times rapping about my parents," he says. "No resentment lyrics though, just my thoughts on the situation." A few school expulsions later he was back in New Orleans, playing basketball and recording the songs that would lead to 2012, the year he dropped a staggering four mixtapes. "My inspiration for the song was everything that transpired in my life during that period," says Moe. "From getting put out and having my family turn their back on me, to leaving New Orleans for New York to pursue music and just all the emotions I was feeling at that point."

Natti (of CunninLynguists) - Architecture (Feat. Sha Stimuli & Substantial)

The second single from Natti's 'Still Motion' gets a visual treatment. Watch as Natti, Sha Stimuli & Substantial reluctantly admire the drug game, the music industry and the institution of education. Three systems that, more often than not, prey on it's participants and are specifically designed for them to fail.

The Godfathers (Kool G Rap & Necro) - Heart Attack

As a pioneer of Mafioso Hip-Hop, Kool G Rap is often cited by fellow emcees and critics as one of the most influential and trend-setting rappers of the past two decades. Whether as a member of the ground-breaking Juice Crew, or his classic LP’s with DJ Polo, G Rap’s influence still resounds today as evidenced by Pusha T’s “King Push” where he name drops the Queen’s emcee “rage against the machine/black Zach De La Rocha/and a cranberry roaster/inside track on a G Rap poster.” Likewise, Necro has also carved out his own very unique standing in the industry, whether it was playing guitar in a metal band at the tender age of 11, rhyming alongside his brother Ill Bill, producing his own material and for artists such as Non-Phixion, Cage, & Raekwon, or creating his own Independent label, Pyscho-Logical Records, which has thrived for over a decade now and released over two-dozen projects (including nine of his own). Necro has toured the globe many times over, been a participant in some of the genre’s top festivals (Rock The Bells & Paid Dues) and even created his own film production company. Kool G Rap & Necro have now joined forces and on 11-19-2013 will be releasing a collaborative project as “The Godfathers” entitled “Once Upon A Crime” which will be released on SRC/Pyscho+Logical Records. Today, they release the first video, “Heart Attack,” from that forthcoming project.

Ivan Ives - Higher (Feat. Aaron Marsh)

Russian born/bred L.A. resident Ivan Ives presents the self-directed music video for "Higher", the Aaron Marsh-produced new single from his new album Stranger. Ivan Ives originally stepped into the hip hop world in 2007. Rolling Stone named him among the next 40 artists to watch; SPIN called him one of 8 top unsigned artists; and XXL said "don't let his indie rocker persona fool you - this guy can spit." He's worked with the likes of Cappadonna (Wu-Tang), Tre Hardson (Pharcyde), Percee P & Oh No (Stones Throw), The Cool Kids, Black Milk, O.C. (DITC), Vast Aire (Def Jux), Ceschi (Fake Four Inc), and many more. Having gone to film school, he directs most of his own videos - which have racked up over a million streams on YouTube without major distribution. "Aaron and I wrote the song at his studio in Lakeland, Florida," says Ivan. "It's a pretty weird song with alternating off-kilter time signatures, so it was really fun to work on. I wanted the video to reflect the uniqueness of the song, and so we tell a disjointed story about an astronaut lost in space or his own mind."

The latest music video for Lou AKA Lou From Queens single "Come On Home" which is off his "Devil In The Clouds" EP with producer Maze Rockwell.

Things I've went through in the past and all the adversity and obstacles I had to face and overcome to get to where I am today.

Black Dave - Take It Back

It's one of those videos that an artist always wanted to do, but never got the chance, so this has been a special project for Dave. Dave wanted to do a day-in-the life portrayal, paying tribute to the music videos of the early 90s, with the classic cameo-filled summer vibe approach. Sharing a mutual love for the 90s era, we decided to continue with the same look and feel of "Motherfuck My Enemies!", which was an homage to 1995 KIDS. Because of that video's success, we were lucky enough to work with Leo Fitzpatrick, who plays Telly from KIDS and Pete Bici, who was one of the skater kids. Instead of playing skaters, they were casted as law enforcers, essentially completing the cycle of adolescence and passing the torch on to the next generation of New York skaters - Dave and The Stone Rollers. "With this video, I just wanted to share the day in the life of myself, and New York City skateboarding. Bringing the viewer into my world, but making sure to pay homage to the New York City skateboard culture. Teaming up with director Jason Ano, and having Peter Bici and Leo Fitzpatrick who were actors in the original film KIDS that had a profound effect on my life and many other kids, and I just wanted to recapture that story and share it." - Black Dave

MC Lyte - Cravin

“Cravin’” is the new hit single from Grammy & BET-Award nominated artist MC Lyte, produced by The Natives as part of a collaborative effort from Lyte's own SunniGyrl, Inc. and Loudbox Entertainment.

Y-Roc - GITC

16-year-old emcee Y-Roc presents the Nick Everhart-directed music video for "GITC", a song over DJ Premier's "Up Against The Wall" beat, made famous by NYC duo Group Home's 1995 album Livin' Proof, which Y-Roc rhymes over in full for his mixtape Livin' Proof '13. Picking up musical influences from his father's record collection, albums like Reasonable Doubt, Low End Theory and Doe Or Die inspired Y-Roc to step to the mic. "The song came first about in my head when I was watching this old film where a guy was going all around New York and had girls all over the place," says Y-Roc. "As he started getting more known as a player, the girls all figured it out and that's when the trouble started. So I tried to write the song form the guys perspective and thats how it came about." Livin' Proof '13 is available on Y-Roc's Bandcamp page.

Malkovich - Through The Trees (Feat. Ali Abnormal, BLVME, Sum & Chris Clarke)

Irangeles (Iran/Los Angeles) lyricist Malkovich presents the Hashim Thomas-directed music video for "Through The Trees", from his new album Great Expectations, written and recorded in New York City, New Orleans, Atlanta and Los Angeles after Malkovich gave up his home and possessions to travel indefinitely.

BLVME and Ali Abnormal also contribute verses. Expectations is the followup to his Ayatollah Presley mixtape hosted by deejay/producer House Shoes (watch the video to the Dibia$e-produced "WTF"), and videos to three Expectations tracks - "Lies" (watch), "What I Know" (watch) and "Palms" (watch) have already been released. "[Malkovich] is owning everyone in the current scene, and you better believe it," says HitTheFloor Magazine. DJ Premier played the Great Expectations cut "Bedbugs" on the January 18 edition of his Live From Headqcourterz mixshow (listen). Great Expectations is available as a free download for a limited time.

E Major - Outrageous

Baltimore-bred, Los Angeles-based emcee E Major presents the self-directed music video to “Outrageous”, the Rexamillion-produced leak from his upcoming album Baltimore Bruin. Coming on the heels of his video for "Feature Presentation" (watch here) and "Zodiac Freestyle" (watch here), "Outrageous" utilizes "Movie Finale", a beat by California producer Madlib which appeared on his Beat Konducta In India project and was also used by Mos Def for his song "Auditorium". Es album Better Than Yours had already made Baltimore City Paper’s top ten albums of 2011 – two years after dubbing his Majority Rules album “a classic” – by the time his hit “Paper Runnin’” started doing the rounds on 92Q, later remixed by local legend DJ Booman. Wielding common-sense lyricism and a relaxed, persistent flow which presides on equal footing over boom-bap and trap alike, E’s shared stages with Lupe Fiasco, Wale, and Little Brother and has gotten the nod from Okayplayer, MTV, VH1 and DJ Booth. "My wife's family is from India and I've been there three times," says E of the video. "It was just the perfect thing to shoot while on one of my trips there. I was able to rope a bunch of family members into helping me out and we hired the auto rickshaw driver and we went guerrilla style around the city of Cochin. The video is more about the feeling of the track than any of the content. I was trying to capture what it's like to be in a totally different world like India." Baltimore Bruin drops September 2.

Machine Gun Kelly - Her Song

This has been released a year ago. I have no idea which mixtape it's on. I like this song.

You can discus about who had the best verse or who "killed it" but I rather enjoy the song.

Freddie Gibbs - Lay It Down

Ricky Rude - Friday The 13th (Feat. AR-AB)

On the heels of the viral sensation, "Hold Me Down," Ricky Rude has once again teamed up with Philly's most notorious hustler, AR-AB, for the melodic jam, "Friday The 13th," which can be found on Ricky's recently released mixtape, "The Unprofessional Professional." Ricky sprints through the track, proving it's his "season to ball" before AR grabs the mic to close out the track. AR has long endorsed Ricky for his tenacity and work ethic. The music video for “Friday The 13th,” which was filmed before AR-AB's recent incarceration, features performances by Ricky and AR complimented by fast moving and exciting cinematography. For those who aren't up-to-speed, Ricky Rude is a Southern New Jersey lyricist whose style is as eclectic as his musical influences, which range from The Fugees to Nirvana. Ricky has spent his adolescence developing a buzz within the industry, especially after transplanting himself to the inner-city of Compton, California, where he formed bonds with several West Coast artists. Following years of relentless grinding, Ricky found himself back on the East Coast where he is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut album, "No Guts, No Glory." The album will feature guest appearances from from Scarface, AR-AB, Apollo The Great, Liz Rodriguez, and production from Cardiak and Cool & Dre. Leading up to his debut studio album, Ricky has released an expansive mixtape, “The Unprofessional Professional,” to show just how many tricks he’s got up his sleeve and give his fans a taste of what’s in store for the future. Moving with great ease between hard hitting bangers (“Hold Me Down”, “Friday the 13th”), playful ditties (“seXXX”, “She Wants My D!#k”), stoner anthems (“Amanda Bynes”, “A Whole Bowl”) and uptempo radio jams (“Moon & Stars”, “Journey”), Ricky brings his unique Jersey flavor to every track. The mixtape is hosted by DJ Alamo and includes features from hip-hop heavyweights such as AR-AB, Drag-On, Glasses Malone, and Compton Menace, as well as production from Cool & Dre, Cardiak, the Futuristiks, Brainwave and many more. “The Unprofessional Professional” is brutally honest, which Ricky says is a vital component to his music. “People relate to honesty,” explains Ricky, “because it’s through lyrics that fans recognize flaws in themselves.”

After releasing his new single last week, Maurice “Mobetta” Brown proves he is just getting warmed up, as today he releases the visuals for “Back At The Ranch.”

Awkword - Throw Away The Key

"Throw Away The Key" is more than just a cry for prison reform -- it is an attack on the entire system of inequality and injustice that is merely exemplified by the racist, classist inequalities in policing and sentencing. Mass Incarceration, Recidivism, Profiling, Stop And Frisk, Police Brutality (e.g., Tremaine McMillian) and Fatality (e.g., Oscar Grant), Political Prisoners; these are symptoms of a greater societal problem. Add income to the equation, via for-profit prisons, and you have modern day slavery---THIS MUST END! "Throw Away The Key" appears on AWKWORD's 'World View', the first-ever 100% For-Charity Global Hip Hop project, sponsored by DJBooth and The Morgan Stanley Foundation.

Pro Era - Like Water (Capital STEEZ, Joey Bada$$ & CJ Fly)

Substance Abuse - Paper Tigers (Feat. Myka 9 & Percee P)

Eso Tre and Subz are L.A. duo Substance Abuse, presenting the RCKLSS ABNDN-directed music video for the Hanif Hobbs-produced single "Paper Tigers", featuring Myka Nyne of Freestyle Fellowship and Percee P. "Tigers" is from their new album Background Music featuring KRS-One, Sadat X, MC Eiht and Tash of Tha Liks (watch the video for "Don't Get Us Wrong"), and the "Tigers" video features cameo appearances from Ras Kass, Sach of The Nonce and more. Former URB Next 100 picks, Substance Abuse dropped their debut Brand New Crime in 1998, following up with 2006's Overproof which featured Motion Man, Saafir and Rasco and received four-star marks from URB and Scratch. "The idea for 'Paper Tigers' came from a botched show we did in L.A.," says Eso. "We were supposed to open up for my friend's group but Subz was out of town so I brought Myka and my homie Deranged to rock with me. I was pretty sauced up and it ended up just being Myka and Deranged rapping. Percee P was in the crowd, and being a fan since I heard him on "Return of the Funky Man", I invited to get onstage. Seeing two of our favorite emcees at the same place at the same time is where the idea came from. Needless to say, I never got liquored up before a show again."

Stack$ - Whitewashed (Feat. Bryan Rucker)

Stack$ has music flowing thru his veins and his entire life has revolved around it as his Father managed Sly & The Family Stone & Peaches & Herb and he even co-produced Gladys Knight & The Pips smash hit “Midnight Train To Georgia.” A Miami, FL resident, Stack$ cut his teeth in the industry at a very young age, as he ran with the Cash Money click writing and producing tracks for Lil Wayne and a host of other Cash money artists; which would eventually lead to writing and producing for artists such as Diddy, Game, Fat Joe & Twista (among many). Stack$ has now put the finishing touches on his forthcoming mixtape, The Snowball Effect, which will be released this fall and it includes collaborations with Nelly Furtado, Pleasure P, Urban Mystic, Nu Jerzey Devil, Charlemagne The God, MDMA & Jack Thriller & production from Scott Storch. The lead-single from Stack$ The Snowball Effect is the uplifting “Whitewashed” f/ Bryan Rucker, but rather then try to put my own words on it, I think Talib Kweli sums up the consciously-tinged “Whitewashed” the best “Great video for every girl who thought she had to change who she was to be beautiful.”

Uptown XO (of Diamond District) - Finding My Way

Diamond District emcee Uptown XO releases the video version of his first single "Finding My Way" from the album "Colour de Grey". A.B. The Pro produces the track adding a percussive funk loop to XO's introspective lyrical mood. Meanwhile, XO explores all he's been through in life - from childhood evictions and lost memories, to the battle for his soul: "Lost errything in life and had to start all over / I had to cope with the pain, now I can't stay sober." As always a picturesque tour of Washington DC from Uptown XO. "The video for "Finding My Way" takes cues from the boom bap style production of the track and imagines Uptown XO as two sides of the same young man, coming of age during the mid-nineties in Washington D.C. During the first verse XO takes on the persona of a street minded hustler, spending time in alleyways, shady housing, and rooftops. While for the second verse he portrays the role of a government insider, working to enact change through the political system on Capitol Hill. These twin lifestyles echo the flip side of the same mindset, much like the dichotomy of the District itself."

Special - Friends With Benefits (Feat. Burgaboy)

Striving to make it in Hip-Hop, where the competition is thick and the grind is endless, up and coming artist Special has constructed his own lane with the success of reaching 1 million hits on YouTube with his social media influenced song T-Shirt Time. His obsession with Hip-Hop began as a child in Ottawa, Canada while listening to LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock You Out and dealing with the hardships of not having a father present, “Hip hop was literally my father figure growing up.” Built with the talent of writing, it was already in the cards for Special to become potent with the pen. The creative drive in Special brought him to Toronto where he put his love for the culture into his own craft.“I’m a dreamer…I never had that thing that says you can’t do this…” – Special The many influences of PMD of EPMD, LL Cool J, Smooth B of Nice-N-Smooth, Q-Tip from ATCQ, Akinyele, the illusive MF Doom, Craig G among others inspired Special, “I’m a very competitive type person, and I have a hard time watching someone do something that I KNOW I can do without trying my hand at it.” Hard work paid off with 6 years in the game. In 2011, Special was featured in the Wall-Street Journal after making considerable noise with “Get Ready” – an anthem for the IBEW Verizon Strike. Special, along with Jersey Sound Lab’s Internal Quest, both had the opportunity to perform “Get Ready” in front of 16,000+ people downtown NYC. The thriving success of this old school lyricist has garnered critical acclaim across the globe with releasing commercial projects in Germany and Italy. Special always approaches his verses; his presence and being in the lab with a hip hop mentality, and a sense of integrity. Whether knocking out songs within minutes or meditating on beats for a project, Special is determined to make it a classic. The E-Team release of T-Shirt Time came off the height of Jersey Shore’s Pauly D’s fun phrase “It’s Teee-Shirt Time” while getting ready for the club with his roommates. The EMI Music release sparked social media insanity and became a highlight in Special’s career when it topped charts as a featured song on Ultimate Hitz compilation in Canada. “…Hip Hop is my life, and I will do it till the day I die.” – Special Honing his skills among the Hip-Hop elite and newcomers has given Special the confidence to create a diverse body of work thus far. Along the road Special has worked with Canada’s own Oriana and Truezt, Craig G (Juice Crew), El Da Sensei (The Artifacts), Sadat X (Brand Nubian) and his Jersey Sound Lab counterparts Internal Quest, Broadway Blake, DJ Hush, to say the least. Acquiring star quality, Special embarks on his venture called Minds Eye – an 11-track album released independently with features from Dannie Swift, Internal Quest, Oriana, Saint Kris, DJ Szudi and Asian DMC Champ DJ Ko Flo. The lead single “Friends With Benefits” featuring Burgaboy is a conceptual blend of “commercial ‘mainstream’ feel and classic hip hop roots”. Special’s latest project, Mind’s Eye, goes back to the essence of why Special entered Hip-Hop as an artist. “It’s [meant] to let people know that they can still back my commercial and genre crossover projects, and I still do fully support and represent the culture that I came up in.” As Special continues to down his own lane, as he plans his first official tour in 2014. The burgeoning musical appeal of Special can identify with any audience and will lead him to greatness, and solidifies the progression of Hip-Hop.“Everybody Wanna Be A Star.” Special picked an assortment of producers for Mind’s Eye – Sultan Mir (Florida), Loop Holes (Netherlands), marshtini (Netherlands), Elements (Denmark) and ELATION (Germany).
