“This is not your typical Hip-Hop sound, but one step beyond the basics tune. Not just one or two, but three artists joined in "Crime Scene 2.0". The result should be heard with caution, as it's likely to blow the mind and stimulate our brain. A sudden burn is about to appear from your speakers!”

Loxy & Ink – Manifested Visions (Video)

Categories: Hip-Hop, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , , , , |

“A real old-school hip-hop track exists in the world, hitting its depth and performance. Soulful lyrics coupled with excellent performance, give the artistic impression of genuine sincerity. Real talent of pronounced sensuality.”

“Есть ещё в мире настоящий old-school hip-hop поражающий своей глубиной и исполнением. Душевная лирика в купе с превосходным исполнением создают впечатление неподдельной искренности исполнителя. Настоящий талант выраженный чувственностью.”

-Nagamag.com

Authenticity & Consistency, two key words that immediately come to mind when we’re talking about Loxy and Ink.
As music and creative culture at large hurtles towards an abyss of ‘likes’ as currency and vacuous validity, the job of musicians who stand for authenticity and consistency has become ever more important and it is at this juncture where Loxy and Ink become indispensable.

Two titans in UK breakbeat culture, Loxy & Ink were both present at the inception at the birth of UK dance music culture and continue to be torchbearers. One glance at the CV of both artists will show you everything you need to know. They were both residents & recording artists at three incredibly important clubs & record labels: Metalheadz at Blue Note, Speed at Mars Bar and Renegade Hardware at The End. These three clubs and associated labels are important to mention as they innovated, pushed and later came to define drum & bass culture. Loxy and Ink were, in part, responsible for that.
It’s not an accident that Loxy and Ink were linked to these behemoths. Between the aforementioned camps and our protagonists, there was a mutual understanding for the need to push the envelope and there was a shared love of reinterpreting musical genres- a free form approach to music that changed the landscape of what is possible creatively, Loxy & Ink have always implicitly understood this way of thinking and have exercised this thought process to this day via their own record labels, Cylon (Loxy) and Architecture (Ink).

Throughout their careers, as collaborators and individuals, Loxy & Ink continued to make and play music that connected with them on a deeper level rather than just for the sake of functionality, they both saw success as rappers and individually played and made music that stretched from dub techno to hip hop to house.
The journey outlined above, the understanding of cultural innovation and the pledge to authenticity & consistency as mentioned leads us to the Manifested Visions EP on R&S Records. A five-track release that traverses genres with ease, a release that speaks to Loxy & Ink’s love for collaboration- we’re presented with multiple vocal contributions from Tha Lion, Jody Lulati, Miriam Safo and Loxy & Ink themselves. Finnish producer Resound continues his long-standing production partnership with Loxy on ‘Give Me a Dubplate’. Genre wise we’re given hip hop, dubwise roots reggae and drum & bass.
R&S continues to show that it’s a force to be reckoned with by releasing this EP, a project that crosses countries as well as genres, a project from Loxy and Ink that feels like it was always going to come to pass since the pair found common ground way back when.

After considering all of this, it comes as no surprise that the EP is titled ‘Manifested Visions.’

Luke Kohen – This day was made for you (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Minimalistic, sedative sound that gives greater integrity to this creation. Shocking background ambient synths and paralyzing vocals from -Luke Kohen-.”

“Минималистичное, седативное звучание, придаёт большую целостность этому творению. Глубокие ударные, фоновые эмбиент-синтезаторы и парализующий вокал -Luke Kohen-.”

-Nagamag.com

Luke Kohen has given us a wonderful gift to start out 2021 right.

This is a “Crush your day” so you can crush your year kind of song.

Vocab Slick – Atonement (Video)

Categories: Hip-Hop, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“Perhaps there is nothing that gives a sense of freedom, like the qualitative rhythms of hip-hop music. -Atonement- levitation is a real, pure euphoria. The very moment in everyone’s life, and for which the cost is worth living.”

“Пожалуй, ничто так не вселяет чувство свободы, как качественные ритмы хип-хоп музыки. -Atonement- это настоящая левитация, чистая эйфория. Те самые мгновения в жизни каждого человека, ради которых стоило и стоит жить. ”

-Nagamag.com

Vocab Slick brings his blue-collar, working-man’s anthem to life in the cinematic new video for “Atonement,” which is also the latest single off his much anticipated next project, Language.

https://www.facebook.com/vocabslickofficial

With director Evan Croker behind the lens, the Bay Area emcee shows off his acting chops in these visuals that center on the story within the verses. It tells the story of a hard-working artist who only gets the opportunity to hone his craft and share his art with the world after a long day of work.

https://www.instagram.com/VocabSlick

In both audio and visual form, “Atonement” serves an incredibly relatable and touching narrative, and it’s one that’s never been more pertinent than today. It also doesn’t hurt that Croker’s vision is such a perfect match for Vocab’s rhymes, which just seem to float over the melodic Chef Boyz production.

Check out the visuals and head over to your preferred digital retailer or streaming platform to support. Vocab’s new album, Language, is due out soon through his own DR Music imprint.

Eon MC Etc. – Legitimate Hustler (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Legitimate Hustler from Eon MC Etc. in his new album Westside, Bitch!, released under United Statements, is a melodious, balanced and varied song with thought-provoking lyrics and an expressive vocal perfomance. Chorus is very memorable. ”

-Nagamag.com

This is a song about trying to come up but stay out if trouble

http://www.instagram.com/eonmcetc

‘Eon MC Etc.’ was born and raised in Lawton, OK and began singing in the church choir at the tender age of 8. Shortly thereafter, Eon began to appreciate secular music in the form of hip-hop and became a student of the craft, writing and reciting his own lyrics. All throughout his life, he firmly believed he would pave a way for himself in the entertainment industry. Like his partner on the track ‘Lady Liberty,’ the young emcee fell in love with acting and pursued his stage career in NYC, where he eventually met his long time friend and partner in lyricism, Adduci...

The High Breed – Forgiveness (Video)

Categories: Hip-Hop, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

“Highly affecting Hip-Hop song with hidden power and deep meaning. The word “forgiveness” is usually connected with self-evaluation and error admiting. A useful message can be found in the lyrics here and this kind of music can really teach us how to behave better. Well done!”

-Nagamag.com

UK-based hip-hop collective The High Breed make their return to the scene with new single “Forgiveness”, their first release of 2021. The track showcases the collective’s unique hip-hop style, effortlessly blending conscious, relatable lyricism with hypnotic, trap-infused production alongside cinematic visuals that will no doubt captivate the audience. Having gained traction with a string of releases last year, such as “Star Dwellers” and “Meet the Gods”, and receiving support from BBC Introducing, the independent DIY collective are set to continue their momentum with this latest release.

“Forgiveness” starts with an organ-inspired synth that instantly connects you to the song’s biblical theme, with the rolling drums and piercing hi-hats giving the song the punch it needs to deliver its weighty philosophical message. Speaking more on the track, The High Breed say, “‘Forgiveness’ is an honest dialogue about what forgiveness truly means to the individual who has done wrong in a world full of self-denial. It is an expression and an acceptance of the ‘shadow self’, a vulnerable confession about the darker nature of our humanity and a poetic discourse on the morality of the human soul, highlighting the battle between virtue and temptation that no person throughout any age has ever been free from.”

Driving in their own lane, The High Breed are a much-welcomed addition to the conscious hip-hop scene and are clearly a force to be reckoned with both lyrically and visually. And with much more to come this year from the fast-rising collective, The High Breed will surely be an act to watch out for. “Forgiveness” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/TheHighBreedForgiveness

El Gant, Ras Kass, Planet Asia – Chromed Out (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , |

“Wicked rhymes of Hip-Hop suddenly burst out of the speakers and alternate our reality status. El Gant is back and not alone at this time! The result is better than expected and burns like fire. Work with attitude and personal touch.”

-Nagamag.com

It’s been nearly seven years since his previous solo album, but El Gant is back with a banger of a new single, “Chromed Out,” featuring frequent collaborators Ras Kass and Planet Asia, over J57’s hard-hitting production with cuts supplied by DJ Jon Doe.

https://twitter.com/ElGant

To be fair, Gant hasn’t been completely quiet since 2014’s Beast Academy LP. For one, he’s one third of the Jamo Gang with Ras and J57, and they’ve dropped a number of acclaimed projects (peep 2020’s Walking With Lions). But with the release of “Chromed Out,” the NYC rap vet is back on his solo tip to get the world ready for his forthcoming new album, O.S.L.O., which is set to feature Killah Priest, Bobby J From Rockaway, King Magnetic, and more, as well as production supplied by the legendary DJ Premier and Marco Polo, among others.

https://www.instagram.com/elgant

Gant is fired up on this track, spitting equally ferocious and witty bars, like “I’m on a mission/ Half the caucasian rappers I came up in the game with done changed into Peter Griffin.” His two guests, Ras and Planet Asia, are on fire, too, with mean-mugging rhymes that complement J57’s head-nodding and raw instrumental.

“Chromed Out” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. Be on the lookout for more info on O.S.L.O., which is due out in the fourth quarter of 2021 through Gant’s own Rule By Secrecy imprint.
