We dig the minimalistic boom bap brilliance of Two Feet, the new single from Amp Melo. An infectious flow with a textured percussive pomp, Amp Melo combines lyrical skills with instinctual musicality. He bobs and weaves beneath the beat swiftly, dropping sparse profanities like snare snaps in contempt of modern raps lazy lyricism. The energy is magnetic in a way that leaves you wanting more. For fans of Amplified, Grieves, and Russ. Hear for yourself.

A blunt worthy cipher sets the vibe on Worth the Wait. Featuring the impressive MC talents of CurtThaFlirt, Ezekiel Jordan and VERYRAREPROPHET. The track is a reminder why we love collaborative group efforts. It offers a call and response dynamic as every artist raises the bar, reflecting off the influence in the room while offering their own burst of inspiration before reflecting it back. The legacies of Wu-Tang and Griselda live on. This vibe is timeless.

If we told you a fusion of Indonesian soulful rhythms and modern rap was going to blow your lid off you’d try to call our bluff. The new single from Mario Zwinkle breaks the language barriers in rap convincingly. SAPU JAGAT is the most recent reminder that you don’t always need to know what they’re saying to be infected by the vibe. Apparently it’s a feel good message, but if you didn’t know better you’d think it was a classic gangster throwback. Perhaps it because the only words you understand are the English outbursts of profanity. According to the artists it’s about peace and unity. If you say so. We dig it regardless.

Groovy guitar based beats typically aren’t our thing, but we couldn’t deny the infectious catch of Outside, the new single from Hidden Gemz. There’s a feel good aura that honors the classics in a way that doesn’t feel cheese. It’s that same authenticity familiar to projects like Anderson Park and Dominic Fike. The video is fun too (watch above) Discover your new summer hit.

“No answers to these trick questions.” D’Nairo drops a contemplative anthem with his new single Trick Questions. With effective contributions from OHNI and Antjuan Samuels, Trick Questions is a song for the trials and the hard times that make us, brought with some old school flair ascending from the legacy of TuPac and adapted with some modern motif.
