Gritty female rappers are absolutely our vibe but we’re new to the work of Kay Greyson. Her new single Hollywood got us out of our seats. Featuring EKA Beats and L Devine on backing vocals, Hollywood is a breakthrough statement.
The initial verse is a strong introduction to get you to her new album Chekhov’s Gun, but the catchy compliments offered by the feature singers gives Hollywood real radio potential. It’s a lifestyle jam too. “Isn’t Hollywood where everybody want to be.” The sentiment has real anthemic value. Stylistically Kay Greyson bridges the gap between the classic aesthetic of Lauryn Hill and new school rappers like Kendrick and Kanye.

It’s like that! YNG Martyr gets right to the point and then drops his feature on triple j Bars of Steel. We’re doing it live! We’re big fans of this classic aggressive boom bap style. Their native accent only amplifies the abstract underground appeal.
The lucid lyricism takes no prisoners as the artist embraces their industry independence while slapping some truth on everyone who thought they were sold out when they actually got bought out. Claim your truth. We dig the beat but we’re not mad about the solo outro. The dude has something to say.

Damn that’s groovy. Creature Of Habit (MIX2) features a versatile beat that could swing several ways. The new single from STOVALIEN could have leaned indie pop but instead finds elegant contrast in the rappers gritty rap style.
He’s instinctually catchy. His vibe blends the old school feel of De La Soul with a subtle melodic sensibility familiar to G Love or Citizen Cope. It’s a cool college dropout urban aesthetic, we’re into it.
