What an experience! Niko Villamor has the type of voice that makes the art of storytelling a true gift. The Atlanta bred lyricist is a rare breed indeed. His latest release The Unknown from the forthcoming LP Inertia is about his journey to the next level and all the lives affected by the distance. It’s poetic, what one might call “real” – unabashed as the footage rolls and this moment is recorded before the present passes as quickly as it came. Outside of the higher level enlightenment, the beat knocks with production by Kyle “Pro” Stewart and his piano smoothing out hip-hop like ATL’s never seen. If you’ve ever left everything you’ve known to follow your dream download this track now! /// Continue Reading + // CONTINUE READING +
From the ASAP crew, Harlem’s own ASAP Rocky expands the East Coast’s reach with a sound that is more universal than a lot of what we’ve heard from NY in a while. His new EP DEEP PURPLE is real hard and real hood with a strong West Coast feel – but instead of cruising down LaBrea we’re riding down Broadway, beat bumpin, car smoked out, bout to collect those pesos. That’s the way they roll. “I’m that Harlem mother fucker with that mellow flow” – he calls himself the Harlem Renaissance, changing the face and style of rap to reintroduce NYC to the world. True to NY, ASAP Rocky infuses a little reggae but his dirty south swag keeps us A-town bouncing // MORE INFO AFTER THE JUMP // CONTINUE READING +

ummm should I write this in 1st or 2nd person?
I like to write and I like music, fashion, art, and random things that only a few people know about. I like to read, favorite novelist is Zadie Smith. I like urban American lifestyle. My favorite color is Navy Blue (though I’m dying for that new EVOL cap in Maroon). I throw events so I can hang with the coolest people I know (my friends and family). I’m learning everyday. My taste is ever evolving but I’d never forget my roots. I am woman. I love. I live -kinda. and I’d like your attention {please and thank you}. // CONTINUE READING +
BOSCO has done it again – like a phoenix from the ashes she rises and controls our attention within the first 15 seconds of Pacer, the title track from her latest EP. She delivers with luminous bolts of emotion attached to the notion that this girl might not give a fuck and even if she used to the feeling just as quickly washes away as she makes her way to the sunlight. The single is a call of self reflection and the true purge of Brittany Bosco’s vocal calling. The jazz infused, electro-funk tune finds her vulnerable with a raw effect channeling the pits of southern soul circa Nina Simone and a whispy air that’s reminiscent of the ethereal style of a young Stevie Nix. But that’s just the first few seconds… lend her your ear and you’ll be following the light too.
