The Band of the Hawk unleashes their long awaited hip-hop album “Kangol”

The Houston, TX underground rap crew known as The Band of the Hawk Underground Pyramid (#BOHUP) comes through with their full-length LP titled Kangol, that was produced by Noah Archangel. Featuring 13 tracks, the guys of #BOHUP bring their A-game, delivering meaningful bars over dope lo-fi boom bap production. Highlights on the album include the light and airy, electric guitar-infused “Spirit Bomb” and the cool, calm and collective “Funny Bunny” that urges folks not to speak unless it’s about the money. The crew even takes it back to the days of skits in Hip-Hop with a witty one of their own titled “Phite Weoples.” Another track mentioning is the super smooth “Golden Child” where each member of the track gets a chance to tap into a more braggy flow that adds more dimension and versatility to the album. Along with Kangol on streaming services, #BOHUP also released exclusive CD's and limited vinyl that can be found on bandofthehawk.com. Check out Kangol and be on the lookout for upcoming videos on for the tracks “Bedrock,” “Spirit Bomb,” and “19 Mentality featuring AG Da Coroner.”

Just like that, it is here. After previously blessing us with their spectacular “Flux Capacitor” drop, Houston’s answer to The Wu-Tang Clan and early Pro Era, The Band of The Hawk, have finally released their “Kangol” project. Completely produced by original BOHUP member, Noah Archangel, and mostly upheld by Yeaux Majesty’s idiosyncratic rhymes, “Kangol” is this Texas collective’s 2019 endowment to the world of lo-fi, underground Hip-Hop. A world wherein they are slowly, but surely, becoming kings. The coronation occurs through a bevy of rap-heavy, boom-bap jams. Between sample-driven instrumentals, skits, and the lyrical ventures of featured BOHUP artists, Yeaux Majesty and Noah Archangel string together an impressively cohesive offering. Bangers, such as “Downtown Friday Nights”, “Bedrock”, “‘19 Mentality”, “Golden Child”, and “All U Need” flow seamlessly down this river of Golden Age musicality. If not for the apparent tracklist, “Kangol” could very much be presented as one, elongated piece of music; and that quality alone makes it superior to every other project released alongside it. In the space and history of lyrical, archaic, underground Hip-Hop, this project could very well become a classic. And The Band of The Hawk, the South’s answer to the legendary, old-school rap crews we hardly go a day without giving praise.

YUNG Citizen Ft MoonLander & Rob Flo - OutKast @YungCitizen

With the anticipation continuing to grow for the release of the "F.I.T" EP, YUNG Citizen teams with fellow Charlotte, North Carolina artists MoonLander and Rob Flo to deliver the lead video from the project titled "OutKast". Citizen, who doubles as an artist and producer, lays down a melodic instrumental consisting of multiple piano chords, horns, flutes and simplistic drums. This lays the ideal foundation for the trio to speak about going against the grain of the industry, not conforming to the cookie cutter imagery that most rappers tend to follow these days and showcasing their incredible song writing abilities.

YUNG Citizen and Rob Flo carry the verses on "OutKast" with Citizen handling the first and third. They do a splendid job of keeping the listeners tuned in with colorful wordplay that meshes new and old school Hip Hop with a splash of pop and R&B. The latter comes courtesy of the highly addictive hook laid down by MoonLander. The audio chemistry is obviously there. However, it's the onscreen relationship these three gentlemen carry on screen that leaves viewers feeling as though they've been making records for their entire lives. Director Austin Chaney does a sensational job of filming this stand out track from YUNG Citizen's forthcoming EP, "F.I.T". Tap the play button and join in on the "OutKast" movement.

SupremeNu releases controversial new hiphop single “Man Down”

SupremeNu releases controversial new hiphop single “Man Down”

SupremeNu releases controversial new hiphop single “Man Down”

Wielding pain, depth, and darkness, Michigan rapper, SupremeNu, presents “Man Down”. The song is three minutes and sixteen seconds of lyrical and instrumental surgery on an open wound; centered around the loss of a close friend to gun violence. Carried by a heart-wrenching, blues guitar, trumpets, trap drums, and passionate, Outkast-esque flow, SupremeNu relives the entire fiasco. He details in his first verse witnessing the death personally, and how indomitable the river of tears have been hence then. Yet, as traumatic as this event was for the Jackson-repping, Florida-based artist, he uses it as incredible fuel on the mic. The pair of passion and pain weld into his voice is unignorable. It bleeds heavier and heavier through your speakers as the song progresses; and by the end, you are engulfed in his grief. That solidifies this track’s place as one of the underground, Hip-Hop highlights of this year. Not only is it an outstanding tribute to his resting friend; but it, likewise, commands an empathy that one could never evade.

Boss Mayne Trill x Juney new-age trap album “Eastside Story”

Boss Mayne Trill x Juney new-age trap album “Eastside Story”

“Even God fears me...” ring loud and clear within the intro of Decatur duo, Boss Mayne Trill & Juney’s, summer offering, “Eastside Story”. The EP comes packed with six melodic, modern-trap bangers, in perfect allusion to their homeland of Zone 6. Comparing them to Outkast, the legendary ATLien duo before them, is made quite effortless on this album; highlighted by the specific specialties and roles each artist seems to bring to the table. By the sound of it, Boss Mayne Trill fashions most of the project’s hooks, displaying a superior control over autotune and melody (this talent exploding on tracks such as “Aaliyah”, “No Guidance”, “Nah Fr”, and “Outside”). “Outside” and “Aaliyah” happen to be two personal favorites; the former for its contagious, rhythmic cadence throughout the hook and the latter for its R&B-esque qualities. Although, both artists bring phenomenal bars and stories tobthe table, you know when Juney hits the mic, he’s there to rap. He spits with an ATLien aggression, tearing through every record with rawness and reality. The only effort exempt from this unaltered quality, is fourth track “Mlk”. Here, Juney proves he is just as formidable with melody as he is without, delivering a victorious, trap ballad. “Eastside Story” is the coronation of a talented, tag-team of rappers destined to be the next dynamic duo of Georgia. No matter how long the list of Zone 6 legends may be, Boss Mayne Trill & Juney will assuredly live up to them.
