Let’z - Sugg Savage (Prod. by Hymn)

After the last few weeks within America, I felt that light joy were in short supply within our community. We’d seen such misery in such a short time- continued oppression in Black neighborhoods all over the country, growing discontent with the economic situations in our environments, wondering when the next person of our own would end up a hashtag for all of the wrong reasons- it was dizzying. Self-care became the words of the day(s) for so many of us. Whether that was through disconnecting from social media, or ranting out our frustrations through it – turning off the television because it was playing out the pain on a loop and we didn’t want to be subjected to it- we did what we could to keep ourselves together in the face of all around us. And some of us turned to music. Writing, singing, recording, performing – this was a way we learned to heal going back so many generations. 

Personally, I felt more inclined to listen to music than anything else. And that brought me to the great duo of Sugg and Hymn’s production really draws you in- it’s a subtle bop that tugs at your ear, evoking the best of summer (the sounds, the sun, the joy) but it’s Sugg’s vocals that deliver that feeling – that feeling you may have gotten the first time you went to church or been around folk that really want the best for you, friends, family, whomever. That presence is one that once you feel it, nothing really compares to it. And she surely sang that feeling into my spirit. The song itself carries an energy to it that’s uplifting and moving, and if you’ve ever wanted a feel-good anthem that you can depend on, this would be it. 

-Kuuya.

Philmore Greene - Ghost Of Roc-A-Fella

What does Chicago hip hop sound like? Back in 2012, drill music made a colossal explosion onto the hip hop scene with artists such as Chief Keef, Lil Durk, and Lil Bibby leading the way. However, as time progressed so has the sound of the Chi Town. It's strange, but people forget that prominent hip hop artists such as Common, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye west are actually from Chicago. Today, Chicago is represented by outspoken visionary artists such as Vic Mensa, Chance the Rapper, and BJ The Chicago Kid just to name a few. It's apparent that Chicago is still a hotbed of musical talent and Philmore Greene is a great example of how Chicago hip hop is currently transcending its grimy hip hop reputation.     Philmore Greene is what one might call a true hip hop emcee. Greene's track, Ghost of Roc-A-Fella  is not only an ode to his favorite music label growing up. It is also a testimony as to why he deserves a deal with the major label (or any major label for that matter). He makes this claim by confidently stating, "Salute to Roc Nation/ I need that plane like a hijack". His confidence is apparent throughout the track and this is a key component to standing out and staking your claim in hip hop. His lyricism is both clever and witty, and there are several examples throughout the song to support this. The Ron Jeremy line at 0:32 is humorous and the wordplay here is very well done. It's always a good thing when artists mention the infamous booty crusader, and those bars should be appreciated by any true hip hop fan.     Ghost of Roc-A-Fella is exactly what you want in a song that's true to the roots of hip hop. There's storytelling, intelligently crafted lyrics, and cohesive production that soothes the mind and subtly takes the backseat to the story being told instead of drowning out the lyrics with heavy basslines and melodies. As Philmore Greene progresses and grows with his music, it should only be a matter of time before he becomes a household name. And Greene seems to be in no hurry to expedite his progress as he states, "Philly could be 90/ he gon still be in his prime."

Virginia emcee Gee$ returns in a major way with his latest effort titled "Welcome Home Freestyle".

Being able to flip that negative experience into positive energy. Showing growth, redeveloping a drive for success and committing to new beginnings is a major accomplishment.
