Y.N.X. 716 & DJ Concept drop a furious banger with their recent Mainstream. Energy and conviction within a conscious boom bap vibe spares no prisoners. The verse honors others in the scene seeking rap truth while reflecting on current movements that taint the legacy.
With so many wannabes and more aspiring artists than every taking their shot, Mainstream is a reminder to be careful what you wish for. It’s not just the fame, but also your sanity that’s at stake. For fans of Conway the Machine and Statik Selektah.

We dig the infectious kick back groove of Whiplash, the new single from John Alex Harper. Chill but assertive, offered differently it could be a sexy lofi R&B gem. Harper honors that contrast with a percussive flow and textured cadence, one that cuts within and between the beat intriguingly. For fans of The Alchemist and dare we say Eminem. Check it.

We dig the aggressive fury of Step By Step, the new single from Manny Grey. Blending old school elements of gangster rap and conscious hip hop, Step by Step serves as both a motivational anthem and a warning.
Various metaphorical scenes reflect the perils of modern existence and the dangers of the distractions built into our new casual commercial confinement. Current cultural distractions are the new opium of the people, and Manny Grey offers this anthem as a direct assault on that conundrum. The artist offers Vinnie Paz as an influence, we think the songs a sure thing for anyone sick of this shit. We know we are. Peep the vid.
