Yo Daddy Doe – IM2 (Unmastered) – EP Review Alright…so today, for the most-part, we’re evaluating ideas on the new IM2 (Unmastered) EP from Yo Daddy Doe. As the full-title implies – these are concepts and rhymes still in the incubator, yet to have their finalized mix and mastering…production comments would be redundant here. As […]Read More
Omar Bowing – “Sonus Republic” – Single Review If there’s one thing that I can say for certain at this point in listening to the music of Omar Bowing over the years, it’s that the signature-sounds and dimensions of this band would be something I could identify just by listening without knowing for sure it […]Read More
Anthony Nelson & The Overcomers – “Undeserved” – Single Review You know…if I can just point-out an observation or two from a person that generally doesn’t take-in that much faith-based music…I do still have the opportunity every so often to listen to some; what I can tell you wholeheartedly is that the genre itself is […]Read More
Chasing Jonah – “Weight” – Single Review Alright…if you’re familiar to our pages then you’re no stranger to the name Chasing Jonah by now and just how enthusiastically we’ve supported this incredible project from the moment we came to learn about it and hear the angelic, graceful voice of singer/songwriter Ashley Dudukovich for the first […]Read More
Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Only One” – Single Review I admire the fact that the last several times we’ve heard from Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders over the course of a bunch of singles and albums we’ve reviewed in the past that their sound continues to shift within the borders of […]Read More

Wait…what am I saying here? Back in action? […]Read More
JLuv – “Yo Me Porte Bien” – Single Review Always excellent to find artists from along our journey continuing on their own adventures, surviving & thriving in the independent music-scene. JLuv is prepping his upcoming album Versatile, a mix of songs in his Electro/R&B style sung in both English and Spanish in a 50/50 split. […]Read More
Ant Vibe – Soundcloud Singles – Singles Review Only twenty-three years old…seeing the parental advisory warning on each cover for these singles always makes me brace for something written beyond an emcees experience and/or time on earth; it can be a pretty tough sell to communicate authenticity without living the story, know what I mean? […]Read More
Jay Jai – My Soundcloud Project – Album Review Sometimes behind the scenes you can get a sense of where an artist is at with their work. I say sometimes…because it’s probably rarer than you’d think; some people will submit music and add the standard links & promo-related materials – usually management…other artists want to […]Read More
Maini – “Parting Of Our Way” – Single Review Alrighty then! Lots of information out there regarding this new single from Maini called “Parting Of Our Way” – in particular the amount of hands involved in bringing this song to life was what I’d personally noticed right off the bat. I’d assume it all gets […]Read More
