Apollo The Great - 5AM Eastern Time
Here is a visual of Camden NJ's own, Apollo The Great "5AM Eastern Time" which was released last week.
Nametag & Nameless - May Day
Nametag grew up in Detroit's east, west, and north sides, constantly being shuffled around with his mother to avoid repercussions of his father's drug addiction. He dealt with the familial struggles and nomadic lifestyle by burying himself into his notebook, penning lyrics about his experiences and drawing inspiration from legends like Rakim. He quickly became the latest member of a family chockfull of R&B and gospel vocalists, rhyming with his friends and relatives such as his cousins, Black Milk and Black Beethoven and he got involved in Detroit's hip-hop history early, and in a big way: his first placement was on Slum Village's 'Dirty District Vol. 1' compilation.
From there, Nametag continued to body other Motor City classics such as Slum Village's Dirty District Vol. 2 & his cousin's Black Milk's 'Popular Demand'. But while contributing to others' artist's projects, Nametag continued to build his own footing with a collection of critically-acclaimed mixtapes, EPs and a full length album, 'The Name Is Tag'; which eventually earned the respect of indie rap heavyweights and publications such as XXL, 2DopeBoyz, Detroit Free Press & more.
Nameless is from Flint, Michigan, but his gritty soul and relentless work ethic are reminiscent of the legendary hip-hop producers from Detroit that have preceded him. Since placing his hands on a friend's software and beat machine in 2002, he aspired to flip samples as craftily as idols such as J Dilla, Madlib, MF DOOM and others. He began plugging away in the lab, steadily creating sets of instrumental projects and using a knack for graphic design to craft head-turning album art. He eventually created "Feel It," a single from Detroit staple Marv Won's album 'Wayne Fontes Music' and since then "Detroit was hitting me up back to back" Nameless says. Since then, Nameless' ability to morph dusty soul records into headphone-blaring bangers has turned him into one of the most prolific, sought-after young producers in the state. He now has nearly a dozen solo instrumental and compilation albums, and his 'Flidelphia' LP with Ron Dance placed his production behind Dwele, Paradime and others; and he has recently worked with DJ House Shoes, MarvWon & Vandalyzm and more.
While Nametag linked up with Nameless initially based on the similarity of their monikers, the duo's chemistry was evident immediately, as they quickly created "Blaow!" and "Raw Dirty Filth," the latter landing on DJ Premier's satellite radio show. With the rest of their collaborative debut, 'For Namesake', the duo take their biggest step yet toward living up to their hometown's legacy. Nametag uses his candid, clever rhymes to address a fickle music industry, shady women, the resilience of his family and employs good old-fashioned sh*t talking, while Nameless' melodic grit pays homage to Motown's past.
With appearances by Motor City vets (Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Miz Korona) and youngsters (Mahd, Jahshua Smith) alike, 'For Namesake' continues to cement Nametag & Nameless as one of Detroit's fastest rising talents.

AZ - Thank You
2013 is officially starting off with a bang for AZ, as the Grammy-Nominated Recording Artist, makes his return to the Hip-Hop scene with the release of his highly-anticipated new LP Doe Or Die II, which will be released later this year. AZ wet the appetites of fans for Doe Or Die II in early January with his “Genesis” freestyle.
Since the release of the Doe or Die anniversary album in 2011, AZ has been working to perfect each song for the new album; and fans will definitely be pleased with the follow up.
AZ first became known by appearing on Nas' landmark 1994 album, Illmatic, as his hook on “Life’s A Bitch” still resounds today and he was also featured on Illmatic’s opening opus “The Genesis”. AZ was the only guest feature on Illmatic and soon thereafter he signed with EMI and released his own debut LP Doe Or Die in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. The album's lead single, "Sugar Hill", became one of AZ's major commercially successful records as a solo artist, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. In 2002, he released Aziatic from which his single "The Essence“ f/ Nas was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. AZ has since released four solo-LP’s (his solo release Undeniable also made a high debut on the Billboard charts) and worked with artists such as Nas, RZA, DJ Premier, Ghostface, Raekwon, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Trackmasters, Emile, Lil Fame, Phonte, Sheek Louch, Styles P, Foxy Brown, Beanie Sigel, Nottz, Large Professor, Bink, MoSS, & Statik Selektah and remained a constant staple with fans and critics alike.
Today, AZ is back and better than ever and is readying his forthcoming Doe Or Die II release.
Ricky Rude - Hold Me Down (Feat. AR-AB)
With influences ranging from The Fugees to Nirvana, Ricky Rude is quickly making headway as the troubadour of South Jersey, blending his eclectic tastes into a style all his own. Developing his lyricism though lengthy freestyle sessions and local battles, Ricky quickly gained a buzz in his home state, leading him to work alongside notable producers such Cardiak and Cool & Dre. As a songwriter, Ricky doesn’t hold any punches, crafting songs of ambition and perseverance from an honest perspective, often leaving listeners with a transparent view of the rebel MC’s psyche.
Earlier this month Ricky teamed up with Philly trap star AR-AB for the buzz worthy single “Hold Me Down." Today, Ricky has released a set of visuals to accompany the hard-hitting track. The video features Ricky and AR trading rugged verses alongside luxury cars and beautiful women.
"No Guts, No Glory" is slated to include features from Scarface, AR-AB, Apollo The Great, and Liz Rodriguez, as well as production from Cardiak and Cool & Dre.
“Hold Me Down” is now available for purchase in all digital retailers.

Kyle Rapps - Watch Out
Harlem emcee Kyle Rapps is bringing low budget multimedia visuals to a new level of griminess and fun factor. The quirky green screen-meets-photoshop platform
portrayed in his videos is both artistic and hilarious, and is a welcomed departure from the fashionista and weedporn swag that the new New York scene is becoming known for. As a result, Rapps has garnered the attention and cosign of some higher profile artists such as Action Bronson, Mr Muthafuckin' eXquire, and Murs, who are all featured on his mixtape "SUB" which drops this May. Show promoters are also taking note as last month Kyle was tapped by Live Nation to play a Vice Records showcase at Santos Party house with Bodega Bamz, and A$AP Twelvyy
Moe Pope & Rain - Spit vs. Ramo (Feat. Reks & Dua Boakye)
Moe Pope & Rain release the video for “Spit vs. Ramo” the fourth video off ‘Let The Right Ones In’ (via Brick Records) which features guest vocals from Reks as well as Dua Boyake, the lead front man of Bad Rabbits.
‘Let The Right Ones In’ is completely sample-free and features guest appearances from an eclectic range of artists including John Robinson, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper, Ceschi and more. Pope & Rain’s follow up to 2010’s Life After God is “a hip-hop record that revel[s] in both joy and pain, rap and rock and everything in between,” said Martin Caballero of The Boston Globe. “The beats bubble with a seductive underlying tension that blurs the line between the upbeat and the morbid”
