M-Dot, Conway the Machine, Nutso – Neck Tie
(Spotify)

“-Neck tie- sounds very expressive by its atmosphere and Old-school Hip-Hop style. Cheerful, very juicy shock, expressive samples and a fair kind of humour. All this makes it a bright representative of its genre. Recommended? Definitely!”

“-Neck Tie- по своей атмосфере очень экспрессивный и местами напоминает trip-hop. Бодрые, очень сочные ударные, выразительные семплы и изрядная доля юмора. Всё это делает его ярким представителем своего жанра. Рекомендуем? Однозначно!”

-Nagamag.com

German producer Whatson recruits long time collaborator and Boston legend M-Dot, Queens street capo Nutso and one of the biggest artists in the game right now, La Maquina himself, Conway the Machine (Shady Records/Griselda). On "Neck Tie" the three emcees trade barbaric lyricism over gritty production suited for the post-mortem mutilation the song title refers to. Also look out for M-Dot's upcoming vinyl release "Dining in Dystopia" coming this Fall.

theMVP is truly an artist that displays resilience for life. Born and raised in the working-class state of Rhode Island, the early life for theMVP was a downhill ride with the brake line cut. Known as a battle rapper and a non-stop freestyler that had to be pulled away from the mic. Although the hunger and skill was evident issues with the law, drugs and alcohol, money, keeping a job, and having a place to live kept this MC from being able to fully focus on hip-hop. After back to back life changing events in 2008 theMVP made a decision to change the way he lived, these life changes relocated him to Miami, FL. However, the attempt to blend into “normal lifestyle” and pretend he could live and function in Corporate America drove theMVP into a massive relapase on drugs and alcohol, which ended with him in rehab 2 times. After getting discharged from rehab in 2018 theMVP was attempting to build a independent business, after a meeting with a local film artist, he played a instrumental beat he made for theMVP to show him, this turned into a freestyle session that impressed the artist, the freestyle landed theMVP a spot in a local studio in Richmond Heights neighborhood of Miami. After recording 30 demo songs theMVP took the songs to many professional producers to turn them into official songs. After inspiring Yeyo787 owner of Trapical Music, grammy nominee and ASCAP awarded artist, the two teamed up to make theMVP’s debut album Blood on the MIC.

Sense Offence – Free Speech (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) (Video)

Sense Offence – Free Speech (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
(Video)

“The New Zealand rapper “Sense Offence” strikes in the scene, with his clever “Free Speech”. As its title reveals; it’s a fierce reaction against the destructive system, against a world that wants us to be speechless, silent and unable to use our mind. Words of deep meaning by a real artist.”

-Nagamag.com

This a bar-heavy rap written over a classic boom bap beat about the suppression of free speech (especially for artists) and the political polarization that is driving division and hate between people.

www.senseoffence.com/

Sense Offence is a New Zealand hip-hop artist and genre fluid rapper.

His music covers topics such as mental health, drug addiction, relationship difficulties and suicide, tackling these heavy topics with a brutal realism about their realities balanced with a strong belief that recovery is possible and offering encouragement to anyone battling these demons to keep fighting.

He is an extremely versatile artist often incorporating elements from different genres and a highly technical rapper with a mastery of complex flow patterns, strong delivery, powerful story telling and intricate multi-syllabic rhyme schemes.

Determinology is the lead single of Good.To.Go’s new EP, “YOP”

Good.To.Go releases his new EP, ‘YOP’.

The album features appearances by Reggie Reare, Memnoc, and Devro.

“Good.To.Go returns with a new EP. The 1st of a string of EPs to carry out the remainder of 2021. This journey began in a time when the world was shut down. From LA to Palmdale to LA and back again, the sessions at Pay2Play Studio, forged new relationships, creativity and a hunger for some return-to-form lyrical hiphop. The EP is inspired and pays homage to the culture of Freestyling, Cypher and BoomBap style hiphop. The b2b tracks give shape to a nonstop musical world, to show the listener how a Good.To.Go show and session in the studio is. You hear a dope beat, you rap the first thing that comes to your mind. You either nail it in a few takes or move on. In the moment. Real.”
