2) TORAE observes the sea of weak lyricists struggling to find their footing in the industry & tells ’em to “Take Notes” over a spectacular soundscape powered by PRAISE! The Coney Island conqueror bodies the beat & dominates the set with witty lines designed to REWIND – Ex: “Take advantage of the mic(Mike), I guess I’m a Givens!” An all-out sonic assault of this level hasn’t been FELT for some time! Hold on to the rafters as Torae & Praise shake up the underground!
3) UFO FEV delivers dope lyricism while also ensuring that the youth really know what’s up on the new banger “Wu Tang 4 Da Children!” The top of the line rhyme slinger unflinchingly spits knowledge about the industry without fear of repercussions. Hip Hop used to be about honor, talent, and creativity. Fev brings it all back with a super-charged cut that finds him showcasing his incredible skills on the mic!
4) KVBEATS enlists AG of DITC, REKS, PERCEE P, and DJ MADHANDZ for a new banger brimming with “Supreme Confidence!” The dope collabo puts inventive wordplay at the forefront as the acclaimed emcees run circles around the competition! DJ Madhandz complements the action with ill cuts that elevate the joint even further! Confidence is solid as the crew reigns supreme!
5) RIGZ is one of those emcees who gets better with each release. That’s saying a lot for a spitter who was already certified dope on arrival! The TIMES CHANGE & MOOCH featured “20 For 10” shines the spotlight on the talented trifecta’s street dealings & observations. Dj Disarm’s sinister soundscape fuels the narrative with a cinematic flavor you won’t find from lesser producers. Take a descent into darkness you won’t soon forget!
6) CONWAY THE MACHINE is a one man Top 10 list unto himself & the Daringer laced “Land O’ Lakes” featuring BUSTA RHYMES is a perfect example of why GxFR is here to stay. Harcore beats & rhymes from the “Everybody Is F.O.O.D.” project are exactly what’s needed amidst the lightweight offerings served up by the industry. Check out the heavyweight joint & do your ears a favor by copping the entire opus!

8) DANI & JAY NICE set it off with a new heater called “Strictly Knowledge!” The ill producer links up with the Immobiliare spitter for a sonic whirlwind of terror executed with finesse! Jay spazzes out on the dope soundscape & the world is listening! Check out the vicious science being dropped & look for “FLAiR JORDAN” to arrive any minute!
9) JOHN JIGG$ & N.B.S prove they’re the kingpins of audio excellence as they excel on a Supa Dave produced masterwork titled “Barz Ova BS!” The rhyme assassins spit lava on the bass driven track & make us appreciate the power of the underground that much more! Leave the bulls**t behind & make room for a barrage of dope barz!
10) JAI BLACK flexes a laid back flow over Eto’s soulful production on a new joint called “Heroin 10!” Igniting the scene with audio dope of the highest order, the lyricist transmits top tier material to the masses without breaking a sweat. He excels under pressure. Keep him stressed at all costs!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
