REALNXGGASONLY // TAZ

So looking through my inbox on youtube I come accross this fresh track titled 'Survival of the Fittest' by Indiana artist, TAZ. This is the type of refreshing music I think every hip hop lover needs to hear. With that feel good vibe, laid back beat, and topped off with tight rhymes with a smooth flow, it goes down well. His latest free album also carries this style & If you like this, be sure to take a listen to that. I'm getting that same feel I got when listening to Slick D's 'Summer Vibes' and TF House's 'Superior taste'.
You can listen to the free album by TAZ below and download it here.

MILLY ESQUIRE

I just discovered this Baltimore hip hop artist yesterday and really thought this video deserved more exposure as well as the tracks from the EP from this talented rapper. This is the video for single 'Let Em Say' dropped a couple of months ago, this is the visuals for track six from his first EP 'Eating Crayons' released 29th May. You can listen to the EP via soundcloud here. & Download this track 'Let 'Em Say' via iTunes here.


His most recent track to be released from his EP is 'Chad Butler' featuring Jennifer Simone & Kai-Marley which is track 5 off his EP, which in contrast to high energy 'Let Em Say' features a silky smooth loop and laid back beat and topped with his well executed flow which I personally found reminiscent of Main Attrakionz' style on '808s & Dark Grapes II', which I love. Check out the track below.

THE BLACK OPERA


Just discovered two new tracks dropped by The Black Opera via Mello Music Group on twitter, and I have to say, there is not one artist from this label I haven't liked yet, all of the artists are so talented and feel they really emphasise 'real' hip hop. These two tracks are refreshing. 'Opera Hands', starting with a classic smooth James Brown sample progressively mixing in almost 'futuristic' electronic loops and topped with lyrical flow I find myself, being reminiscent of Lupe Fiasco. The second track, 'Teleport'.. well that beat and hook just got me listening to that on repeat. If you like this, be sure to take a listen and you can also currently download for free, their project 'Overture' released last summer via Mello Music. Definitely recommend listening to this one, find it here.
