@Swiftisraelofficial is doing way more than "Staying Alive".

 

Central Illinois native, Swift Israel has been making major moves within the recording industry over the past several months. Using his creativity to create "Rael mixes" to some of today's hottest songs have sparked interest in the burgeoning artist's career. Taking on songs like Mooski's "Trackstar", Future's "Puffin' On Zooties" & his tribute to fallen rapper, Nipsey Hussle on "Long Live Nipsey Hussle"  have given Swift a solid foundation on which to build. 

Gaining further understanding of what it takes to build a brand within the music industry has allowed Swift to use his online platform to propel himself to the forefront of the music scene, and connecting with Authentic Empire CEO, Booman lead to a distribution deal with the company. Swift's latest remix finds the rapper going in over Dj Khaled's "Staying Alive". Staying true to what got him this far Swift is ready to make the move from unheralded rapper to the game's next superstar. 

Check out Swift's "Staying Alive Rael Mix" below and let us know what you think about the Authentic Empire signee's latest release.

Ayoo Cheveyo - "Comeupits" @AyooCheveyo

Unbeknownst to most, the music scene out of Chicago contains way more than just rapid fire rhymes and Drill. The underground Hip Hop scene has been flourishing for years and only continues to grow. One of those artists emerging from within goes by the name of Ayoo Cheveyo. He just recently released the second installment behind the four part "Ayoo Cheveyo Presents" series.

The concept all brewed from a screen play he wrote prior to the idea. The album contains a whopping nineteen songs in total with standout cuts "The Block Forgot Him Longer" and "Rock Ya' Body". For "Comeupits", Cheveyo paints true life scenarios inspired by his move from Chicago to Madison. We find him coming to terms with people and things he left behind there as well. Hip Hop heads and smokers will especially take a liking to Ayoo due in part to his easy going flow and airy production selections. Check it out for yourself and feel free to download a free copy of "Comeupits" afterwards.

@wavegangkidvibe Ft Red & @king_tazer - "Relax" (Shot By @AWashington__)

In anticipation of his upcoming EP arriving on December 20th, Madison emcee Kid Vibe leaks out an A. Wash visual alongside Red and King Tazer urging viewers to kick back, subtract the drama and "Relax". An obvious smoker anthem, Kid and company offer up reefer infused lyricism with a splash of braggadocios swag. The Midwest connection is really felt by Vibe linking with Chicago video director, Arrisa Washington. She is able to bring the chilled vibe to the big screen while using red light filters and soft animated edits.

"Relax" is a great introduction to those unfamiliar to Kid Vibe and the Wave Gang collective. Producers Vibez & Vela utilize a live-sounding drum arrangement over keys layered with horns and choral samples. Sit back, roll up, press play and just "Relax" to the melody as presented by Kid Vibe.
