“We be the goons!” In an unquenchable burst of zeal and hunger, H6Z100 (Hbeezyonehundred) is letting us have it with “100”, his latest, hard-hitting release. It is a three-minute and twenty-two second tirade proffered through his Soundcloud, equipped with everything you would expect of a Michigan anthem. The vigorous prance of 808 kicks rumbling beneath a malicious, piano melody and scattering trap percussion, creates a bounce reminiscent of the Detroit sound. Yet, our Ypsilanti native makes it uniquely his own. Through his lively delivery, street-hardened lyricism, and melodious, auto-tuned hook, H6Z100 fully invites us into his existence. Warring between a life on the block, and a love for God, this Midwest emcee has his back against the wall. Yet, as “100” proves, when the heat is on, H6Z100 becomes a force to be reckoned with. He will hit the booth and lash out with a bombing banger. All of his turmoil is destined to pay off; for, “100” is just the song H6Z100 needs to explode.

BT (The Artist) 
“Better Days” EP 
Release Date: February 8, 2019 


They say the world is filled with evil. Well, when making the judgment, they must have left Massachusetts rapper, B.T., out of the equation. Born Bryanne Toney, this Dorchester artist is on a breath-taking, philanthropic mission. In tandem with the upcoming, February drop of his spirited EP, “Better Days”, B.T. pledges to donate half of his record sales to The Base, a sports education organization. Alongside being an incredibly noble gesture, it is a grandiose opportunity for The Base, because this album is prone to push some units. How can it fail when the music is as loving and thoughtful as the mission behind it? Within all four tracks, riding warm, empyrean instrumentals, are powerfully jolting rhymes. From the melodic, trap-rap aesthetic of “Problem”, to the Golden Era, boom-bap nature of the other three records (“For You I Will”, “They Look Up To Me”, and “Better Days”), B.T. never surrenders a moment. Every breath taken in that booth is devoted to an inspirational bar, motivational metaphor, and overall positive message to his following. With each track he reinforces the notion that there are still good souls walking our earth. Yes, we are in a rough spot. However, this fascinating music, and even further captivating act of charity, prove that so long as individuals like B.T. are around, the world will see “Better Days”.

True to their Southern, slow-rollin’ heritage, Louisiana group, Undeniably Genuine, drop “Wood Grain Grippin’”. This Shreveport single rides right through the heart of quintessential, Southern Hip-Hop! UNG enlists a chosen feature from talented artist, Jaymee, who borrows the Chopped-n-Screwed flavor of Houston, Texas for its chorus; which manifests in a deep, double-cupped delivery. Crunk and Dangerous Production mixes a sinister slur into the funk-sampled electric guitar, creating a chalice of trill for dirty, 808 drums to fill. UNG’s verses are the jolly ranchers at the bottom. Although, each member is distinct with their flow, lyricism and storytelling; they maintain one, powerful commonality: passion. The beat of their Southern hearts is so strong, it will shake your speakers; and simultaneously throw your head into a nod. With “Wood Grain Grippin’”, Undeniably Genuine is returning interests to the classic, Southern Hip-Hop paradigm: Passion and Pain with a deep Trill swang. If the abbreviation UNG is any homage to UGK, it is well earned. They are, without doubt, making their OGs proud.

 Slow and solemn, a haze of ambiance glides floats along your peripherals. Before this chill completely engulfs you, a warm 808 splits it in half, and the tap of a rimshot pushes gentle, West Coast crooning into the mix. It is rising, Los Angeles R&B talent, DMNS; wrapped in autotune, formally welcoming you to his latest single, “Sacrifices”. And it is an ethereal welcome, to say the least. The rattle of subtle hi-hats and bounce of R&B drums will guide you through the melodic mist of the record; whilst DMNS’s flavorful, reverberating harmonies tug at the very threads of your heart and soul. “For you I make sacrifices...” he sings, backed by arctic ad-libs and vocal alternates; whose presence create this unique duality for the song. Yes, our singer’s delivery and intentions are warm, however, the reality that surrounds him is callus, cruel and cold. For his warmth to be felt; for DMNS’s love to truly be cherished, he must make “Sacrifices”. That realization is what brings us this chilling, alternative R&B record; and this chilling, alternative R&B record will be the reason DMNS is eventually on everyone’s radar.

That is when, Oakland, CA rapper, DJ Free Leonard attacks the mic; and “Let’s Get It In” officially takes off. There are zero distractions on this four-minute opus.

The West Coast rapper, seasoned by the Young Dirty Bastard (Wu Tang) feature that blesses his hook, is at his utmost philosophical on this record. He dissects various aspects in his life, especially questioning the importance of certain decisions he has made. Most of all, he champions living; devoting whole verses to bestowing wisdom he’s gained through the lessons he has learned. “Let’s Get It In” is a very insightful listen. It is the mark of a man who has come out of the better end of tribulation; and is now ready to devote every waking breath to this music he loves so much.

“So many times I would try to make this right, make this right!” This may be just the banger to put Oklahoma on the map.

He has been building hype with an array of singles for months. Now, Portland, Oregon’s Trevor Haze is ready for mainstream spotlight; displayed by dropping his anticipated, radioactive debut “Tragic$tory” to thousands of plays. Numbers have immediately ran up on this awaited, 15 track LP; especially on joints such as “Been Thru This Before”, “Lately”, “Fell In Love Again”, and “Sometimes”. Why? Simple: their creator wields a command over melody and exceptional ear for beats that so few of his contemporaries can parallel. Even the album intro, “Let You Go” (featuring Sinogabriel), is a extraterrestrial wave of sonic ecstasy. It, as many others on this project, oozes this reverberated, shoegaze aesthetic, and Trevor Haze pairs such flawlessly. Between singing and rapping over these celestial beats, Trevor Haze slowly crafts his own soundscape; to which your ears will be helplessly magnetized. He says, “The lyrics of each song portrays the story of love and heartbreak”. There are so many more layers to Tragic$tory’s musicality than a simple, trap rap album; and that is a testament to the West Coast rapper’s potential as a creative. It is well worth a listen; and this year, Trevor Haze will be well worth every one of our’s eyes and ears.
