Hip Hop Discovery – Phat Panda, AKA Block & Friends, ARIA

Phat Panda brings scratch logic back to the world of hip hop on their impressive new single 10 Outta 10.  A killer hip hop throwback blends boom bap aesthetic with the undergrounds conscious legacy. 

Its a feel good banger that stays true to the street and the urban jazz history at the root of hip hop culture.  Most importantly, it features heavy doses of infectious scratching from Nano2Hype.  Crate diggers stop thru, this one’s for you.

There’s so much to love from the theatrical dynamic new release Lotus.  This collaboration features impactful contributions from AKA Block, Micco, Kate Stewart, and ¡Bacalao!  Their differences compliment each other elegantly, as each embraces their native style while all lending into a universal stylistic swagger. 

It’s a world hip hop breakthrough guaranteed to crossover into every stylistic realm.  It’s simply undeniable.  The male vocals offer the flex while Stewart drips the smooth and the sultry.  We freakin’ love it.

ARIA is a rare modern alternative hip hop highlight to break through our old school tendencies.  Their new song Secrets is infectious to the core.  Their style is undeniably modern, but their catchy appeal would break through in any era. 

The verses are fun, and the chorus is crazy addictive.  “I’ve been working hard but it’s for me.”  This one’s for the hustle mentality.  Get into it.
