"All we wanna do is be free"


This is an extremely he heartfelt and emotional outcry for positive change in the world. Blaze Barnation tells a story of how terrorism tears apart families with bombings and how rich leaders encourage the violence. It sounds very personal to Blaze as you can clearly hear the pain in his voice as he raps. Very powerful video!!!


"With the recent Terrorist acts that happen in Syria, France, Nigeria and Now Belgium I decided to make a Music Video Done By Blaze Barnation as a tribute to those actions.

This like more of a personal thing than just a track and hope you understood the message i wanted to convey in this Music Video." @Blazebarnation









Jamiie Black is the truth! His new song "Run It Up is an official banger!!! Here is the type of song you turnup to at least 5 times on repeat lol. "Run It Up" is what you do if you get that 1 shot to make it. Run up that check and make another 1. #RETROWORLD

Director Cole Bennett (of Lyrical Lemonade) allows us to take a walk through these Chitown streets with a extremely talented introvert, named Isaiah G. I feel the release of Isaiah's song "Loan Le" puts his flow up there with today's Chicago elite spitters. Even though, on the surface he's just taking a random stroll through his neighborhood for a smoke, it gets much deeper. As he switches up his style to a break-neck rate and retreats backwards to his hole. The visuals are strong and the production is supreme dopeness, courtesy of Martin $ky(thought he was just a rapper, but a dope beat maker too I guess)!!!


"A few months back Martin $ky had an instrumental called on his soundcloud that hit my soul like few other beats have. I hit him up in person to see if it was cool and he said he didn't mind and so "Loan Le" was created. Fast forward my manager hit up Cole Bennett for the video." @IsaiahG_AAP










"Take Off Your Clothes" is a smooth hiphop/R&B groove that gives Leyte a platform to show her grown & sexy side.

This is one of the most creative concepts for a video I've seen in a while! On Leyte "Tastee" Holliday's new song "Take Off Your Clothes" she does a radio contest for the a luxurious all expenses paid evening out with her! This gets drives every man in the city crazy. This appears to be a promo for the new album, as after chilling in the telly in a candle lit bubble bath she meets up with hubby. Then she drops them clothes!   @tastee13

There may be a good amount of our audience who don’t know of Hi Money. Can you tell us how your artist career came together?

I just started off rapping for my block until my brother and one of my closes homeboys convinced me that this was my calling so I went from battle rapping to actually making songs about my real life experiences.

Chicago Hip-hop has a history that some people just don’t know about. Could you tell me what you know represent with that type of sound?
The streets.....I feel that's always a worthy and relatable topic......we all been through something so even if your beat selection is different they story can bring it all back full circle.

Was there a conscious decision for you  to develop your style of rap or did that come more organically?

Yes I chose my lane....I work hard to be very creative and give them something heart felt and still let my deepest talents show.

Is that one of the things that initially attracted you to hip-hop?Yes....the ability to captivate.

How much time do you spend in the studio when you go?
As much as possible.....I'm in the lab every chance I get so every deep thought and idea can be expressed.

So tell us about the song “No Sleep”
"No Sleep" was made to explain tha sacrifice we go through to provide for the ones we  care about...... We all have a purpose and I feel this record explain the story of anyone who ever had to grind for someone other than themselves.


What do you think needs to happen for your music to reach a core audience?
Just work....if I continue to stay consistent I will flourish and build the base I need to become successful!

Last year, you dropped a dope record "Thank You" as well as the follpw up visual.. can you tell us how the record came about and what it meant?
The record was made to tell the stories of those who don't rap.....this is one of those joints i did for the people to boost awareness.

The title of your new upcoming project is "Hola Dinero" can you elaborate on the concept, title and whats expected of it?
Well the title just explains my name which I felt, just spelled it different with the latin flavor.

Was important.....I've been confused for high so much and the purpose of my name is for me to have compatibility with one on the things that make this world go round.."money"
This will be a classic...its soulful yet gritty at times so you have a balance....stories and wordplay combined so expect something special.

Any last words?
Just stay on the look out and follow me! Twitter: @Himoneyimm and IG: Hi_Mula







"Ordinary" is an extra smooth hustler's anthem by ya boy, Peake! On "Ordinary" Peake re-assures his young lady that they will be well taken care of no matter what play he gotta make. The beat is soulful and fits Peake's conscience flow very well. The video shows them getting money together on some real life Bonnie & Clyde shit!


Work can be fun. Especially doing things you love to do. New Music from Peake as he gears up for a new mixtape which we can expect. In the mean time, check out his new visuals for "Ordinary."

T 20 kills a crazy Platinum Avngerz track! The new banger is "Kanye & Kim K". This is a bonnie & clyde story of defying the odds with that special someone always by your side. Mona C slays the hooks and brings the story together! "Kanye & Kim K" is extra grown and sexy music. I can see this in heavy rotation very soon in a city near you!!!


“Kanye & Kim K” is an homage to elite Chicago artist/producer/designer Kanye West and wife Kim K. Although they get on folks’ nerves more times than not,these days, you can’t say their relationship isn’t solid. With assistance from femcee Mona C, T-20 has depicted a trapper’s version of their relationship. The rappers’ fluent, sometimes melodic." @_its20











This is what I call REAL hiphop music. I gotta applaud Nino Graye for provided a flash back of when music was really music and not garbage. His latest single "Got It For Cheap" is a head banger! Nino seals the deal with a dope flow over TheNewBlvck's soulful instruments and crisp drum work!

This is a cut from Nino Graye's upcoming album "No Peace For Kings". Stay updated with his movement here @NinoGrayeF4E









The homie, Rey Jama, is called King Jama. He is currently Reverbnation's #1 latin hiphop rapper! He recently released a dope reggaeton banger called "Bailando Con El Rey" or "Dancing With the King". This is a total banger for the dance club. Turnup!!!


MORE INFO:  Grew up all over San Diego, Calexico, Temecula, Mexicali, Mexico and Columbus, Ohio. Started his music career by his friends to take an interest in music after rap battling throughout middle school and high school.














"Nightlife Fifty-Five" is an amazing array of dream-like symphonies for the soul! "Nightlife Fifty-Five" by That Man Santiago is a collection of 11 dark synthesized tracks that tell various stories over superior production. Standout tracks are the laidback and conscious, "Nightlife" & the banger "Tell Somebody" featuring my homeboy Byro!


"The project was recorded and mixed at Soundscape Studios in Chicago. The concept behind the project was to create an honest soundtrack of a person's thoughts before and after a night out in the city. During the length of the tape I travel between thoughts of "turning up" and not worrying about the consequences, to thinking about the repercussions of my actions. The tape touches upon the idea that we are all filled with contradictions; however those contradictions are what help us learn and grow as people."


Listen to his interview with The Dopeness interview series below!










Revolutionary beatmaker, Magnificent, brings you a innovative collection of musical landscapes for the soul! "Visions. from the other side" are 10 new beats that show his depth and creativity as a producer. Stand out beats for me include: the deep and dark story telling mood on "Venezuela"; the playful yet crafty "Animals"; the bangin' bassline and piano work on "Intensity"; and the supreme smoothness of "Royal"!!!

'In his latest body of work producer JaRon Marshall, who goes by the moniker "Magnificent", captures the essence of many styles, ranging from meditative soundscapes to abrasive trap beats.' - @ jro_marshall




"Annidope Finest" is a collection of 15 bangerz narrated by the well known DJ Young Cee! C.G sets the tone early with the 1st track "Hands High". This song speaks volumes about the social issues going on in the Black community today and we call it 'the trap'. There are fun bangerz like "Dope D ft. Lil Scappy", "Droppin Dat Ass" and funny sing-along "FaceTime". "Show Luv" is dope anthem with an attempt of bringing all gansters together with respect and love. "Hear U Talk'in" shows the true ambition of a hustler!!!
