No Call 4 Help EP by DroGotDoe’

Get it all off of your chest. That’s why rapper DroGotDoe’ did in his last eat EP No Call 4 Help. Often times we just need a way to vent in order to bounce back. The EP kicks off with a mid-tempo, grunge track “iPhone Gang”, then follows up with a higher energy track “Rollin”. The project crisscrosses between these two moods, ideally for those somber times when you’re stuck between feeling bad and feeling better.

Home Depot Anthem by EyeKeem

It’s exactly what you think it is. LA rapper EyeKeem tested himself and pulled off the ultimate flex- making a song about Home Depot that actually pretty good. This track may fall into the lines of “meme rap”, but it’s certainly worth the listen. He pulls out all of the stops, probably with pliers, keeping each verse packed with punchlines. Producer Geeohhs’ beat definitely had a hand in making this a masterpiece. If you’re a Home Depot fan, middle-aged dad or just a fan of fun music, add this to your playlist.

Soul music is not dead, not at the hands of AntFlow. His recently released EP, Binsecure takes listeners all the way back to the good old days.

Entr’acte EP by Dutcho

As the weather turns cold, it seems our feelings go along with it. Dutcho embodies that shift through his grunge and forthcoming music, Entr’acte furthers that bond. He speaks to those young people not looking for songs about material things, but rather real and sometimes unpleasant emotions or situations. ”War With Myself” is a helping hand for his supporters that may be dealing with more internal struggles. If you’re looking for a more alternative style or simply a new sound, this is the project for you.

Waiting on Ascension by TyFontaine

It's said that hard work pays off, and TyFontaine has been putting all of his efforts into this moment. Waiting on Ascension is TyFontaine on his A-Game. The album is meant for those looking for something to boost their mood. ”Big Sosa” produced by Jr. Hitmaker, emulates the essence of the Chicago great, Chief Keef. TyFontaine puts his skills at the forefront throughout the album. With only eight tracks and a little over fifteen minutes, the Maryland rapper is up against the rest of the internet and listeners’ short attention spans due to something new replacing the next each moment. TyFontaine is an entertaining artist, he adopts different voices and personas seamlessly throughout his music. TyFontaine often uses a somewhat old school flow, giving him a solid foundation and allowing his ear and musical selection to project a more futuristic and vibrant mood.

Deadly EP by Shao

Smooth and calculated. That’s the best way to describe rapper Shao’s newest body of work. Deadly is a honest telling of life today. Shao is an open book and his flow is as rhythmic as an old school record. Consisting of six tracks, each song is meant to fascinate the listener and show off all of Shao’s skills. Wordplay is nothing to the young MC and his explosive energy is on full display in ”Hunger” featuring GenoPride. Surely, all of the artists’ rage must have been released while recording the dark anthem ”Christ” featuring Surge. The EP, engineered and partially produced by platinum-engineer TylerGENIUS, distances itself from the Trap style of Hip Hop that the younger generation has coined for themselves, and pushes energy, inflection, grimy bars and a crazy beat to drive his point.
