It is utterly insane how electric Jetcity Records can make a twenty-two track project sound. With their long-awaited debut, “Welcome To Jet City”, this high-flying Hip-Hop collective takes compilation albums to new, modern-trap heights. 


Peep the sweet video interview with JetCity Records:


Almost every track on “Welcome To Jet City” is a profound posse cut. Loco 2k, Nucky JMC, Rup Monsta, Skyler, Big Ox, Aye Michelle, and Ag Souljah are the prominent pyromaniacs of the album; blazing through hooks and verses with lyricism and inflections that keep the energy at an all time high. What is likewise captivating about “Welcome To Jet City” is that it is not a constant stream of original content. Rocking the ride, every now and then, is the turbulence of mainstream remixes. “Thotiana” by Blueface; “Lil Bebe” by Danileigh; “Middle Child” by J Cole; “Going Bad” by Meek Mill and Drake; each one of these records are terrifically remixed by the talents on this album, steering it into clouds of spontaneous exhilaration. Certainly, “Welcome To Jet City” may intimidate you with the length of its tracklist. However, once play is pressed, and the debut opus truly takes off, you will not regret a single song. With such an invigorating list of bangers, this soaring collective simply cannot be shot down.

Catch a vibe! Fall into the infectious groove of Luclover's new hit song "Her Loss ft. Dmxn". This modern trap banger features a trippy dream-like feel, a deep boomin' baseline, and melodic hiphop harmonies crafted by Luclover and Dmxn. Read more about the artist and enjoy the new single "Her Loss" today.

Luclover is a 14-year-old rapper and musician based in Houston, TX, his family is originally from Morocco. Music wasn’t Luclover’s first passion, basketball was. He first picked up a ball at the age of 4, and his parents helped him to develop his skills and excel to an advanced level by taking him to practice, personal training and playing with him in the backyard. In January of 2019, Luclover found that his drive to play basketball was gone and that he wanted to take a different path and create music. His parents fully supported this switch and helped him set up a home studio, where Luclover still records. His first single "999" has almost 70,000 views on Soundcloud. His current single "Her Loss ft. Dmxn" just dropped at the end of August. You can listen to his work on Soundcloud, or follow him on Instagram for updates on new releases.

TheSirDuke’s newest track, “Salute”, is an anthemic tribute to ‘boss ladies’ worldwide. Running at three minutes with a music video that has already amassed four thousand views, this Windy City banger is almost as powerful as the women it praises. At first, it is introduced by a pounding percussion; an omen to the musical magic that awaits you. Ten seconds in, a profound bass-line impacts the mix, and simultaneously our Chicago emcee leaps into his verse. For every bar he spits, celebrating independent, hard-working women, TheSirDuke is rewarded with the tap of a snare, kick, and sprinkle of melodic tines that flavor his chorus. The way “Salute” ultimately comes together, by these means, is nothing short of awesome. Just as our incredible ‘boss ladies’ worldwide have built themselves from the ground up, “Salute” musically builds, likewise. In three minutes, it transforms from this persistent pound of a percussion into a thunderous, modern-trap smash. One that, if TheSirDuke ever performs it, will have every powerful lady in the audience feeling beyond valued. If you haven’t already, give TheSirDuke’s latest a listen with its music video, and be on the look out for his upcoming project, “N-Evitable”, dropping any day now.


“Salute” on Spotify:



“All in my face, ‘cuz they wanna ride my wave!” When first starting up, Zero The Kidd’s “Wave” will mislead you. By its watery, ambient synth and tame, auto-tuned intro, you will be convinced that this single is yet another calm pool of modern-trap majesty. That is until the 808 punches the mix, and you are dragged into the current of a high-energy anthem. It is fitting that Zero’s home is Boynton Beach, Florida; for this track is an inescapable tsunami of sound. Washing freshly across your speakers, from the shores of the Sunshine State, “Wave” commands a radio-ready swagger not easily accomplished. Swimming through kicks, snares and hats, Zero The Kidd makes an impressive splash on the record; unleashing a stream of bars and melodies that will enliven anyone who hears them. So much so, that it is certain “Wave” will add another million plays to the ten million Zero has already acquired. If you are in need of a tidal banger for your upcoming, September playlist, look no further than Zero The Kidd’s amazing latest— “Wave”.

Despite Ashton Rich’s recent EP, “Sober Enough”, being one of the most thunderous, modern-trap projects of the season, he makes it explicitly clear from the opus’s opener that he does not condone the new wave. “Pretend”, the track in question, is a flagrant dissection of the trendy, stereotypical personas rappers embody today; matchlessly kicking off six-tracks of identically astounding energy. For, Ashton Rich maintains that audacity throughout the entire fifteen minutes that “Sober Enough” runs. Briskly, it is translated into records such as “Problems”, and the ascending anthem “Lemma Know”, which is already soaring with plays. Merging Hip-Hop and R&B alone may be difficult for some. However, on this EP, Ashton Rich makes it an effortless accomplishment. Like a pendulum, he swings between both genres; and as the momentum builds, so does the strength of his records. In many aspects, that is the perfect simile for Ashton Rich, and “Sober Enough” entirely: a pendulum, whose swung has built up enough momentum to be a wrecking ball; ready to smash right through the rap game.
