Grandé Zee is only 1 listen away from being your favorite trapper rapper. His vernacular on the impressive new trap banger "Other Shxt" is upper echelon, to say the least.

Enjoy "Other Shxt" and follow Grandé Zee's growing movement today.
Kfresh, and his Atlanta bounce, will surely jumpstart your summer. Fantastically, he has dropped “She Knows”: a brash trap banger ready to rock the club. Outfitted with slamming 808s, hyper drums, and a serpentine, sitar melody, this Southern single undeniably packs a punch. Kfresh’s performance on the track?: a clean KO. He zips through the instrumental with a breeze of autotune; blending singing and rapping to create a lightning smash. One second, he is a flowing ATLien, cranking out bars and rhymes. The next, he is smoothly melodizing through a chorus, bringing the festive energy to an all time high. Yes, “She Knows” just might be your summer favorite. It has all the makings of a potential anthem; and Kfresh has all the potential of guiding it to the charts.
“I can’t flex, Yeah I went and spent 100 on a whip!” What starts as a shiny haze of autotuned adlibs quickly becomes a single worth the charts. All due to a Columbus, Georgia rapper’s incredible command of both melody and bars. With “100 On A Whip”, Rico Tracks’s latest, bubbly offering, the Southern artist shows just how ready he is for mainstream success. Across foaming, bright synths, sparkling tines, and speaker-shaking trap percussions, Rico Tracks sing-song raps through a catchy chorus; undoubtedly prepared to seize your local nightclub. However, when that infectious hook is over, the Georgian up-and-comer proves he has even more to offer with two, hardbody verses. In powering through a poised flow and street-hardened delivery, Rico Tracks also ensures that “100 On A Whip” will be played on every block in Columbus. In this current, Hip-Hop climate, Rico Tracks’s latest smash is a model modern-trap release. It can easily be embraced by the industry, as well as the streets; and that versatility always leads to the hits we sing.
Real Gutta Music is Texas’s “Park Side Villain” on his latest LP. Hosted by DJ Precyse, “Park Side Villain Homecoming” is a fifteen track embodiment of The Lonestar State. Top to bottom, minute to minute, this album is bustling with Dirty South sounds; aggrandized by Real Gutta Music’s unyielding, Texan delivery. The opener, “Sic Em” forwards an archaic, Southern bounce, complete with sinister melodies and trunk-rattling drums. The same can be said for “Death Before Dishonor”, “Just Do It”, and “Pedal To The Metal”; all tracks powerful enough to blast you back to the glory days of Southern Hip-Hop. That is not as far as “Park Side Villain Homecoming” goes, however. The Waco rapper makes certain to tap into all dimensions of the Texas sound. “Keep It Player” is a double cup-ready, smoldering cut, empowered by 808s, a soulful chorus, and milky instrumental. Speaking of soulful, the penultimate record, “Soulful” is a golden, sample-heavy boom-bap smash; whilst the last track, “Cross Roads” brings a similar, soul-sampled energy to a modern-trap beat. While nodding towards various aspects of Texas music with these records, Real Gutta Music does each and everyone of them justice through his performance. He never misses a beat on “Park Side Villain Homecoming”; proving with every second of the forty-six minute opus, that so long as he is rapping, the Texas sound will thrive.
Dripping in radio-ready melody, sprinkled with autotune and a Zone 6 inflection, is “Candy Lady”, the latest single from Atlanta, Georgia’s Leiffy Luciano. Over a sweetly dreamy trap production by Mondo, our DeKalb County resident proffers melodies and metaphors geared towards candy, and every woman who’s flavored just like it. Not a bar is wasted on “Candy Lady”. Leiffy Luciano cleverly ties each one to our favorite, convenient store snacks. He powers through an 808-driven, club-craving chorus with an infectious appreciation for his “Candy Lady”. This two-minute and thirty-second track is as catchy as it is creative. Not only does it feature an addictive bounce, topped by sugary, autotuned highs; but it maintains a fun, unorthodox theme for the duration of its play. If you were a fan of D4L’s king-sized hit, “Laffy Taffy”; then you’ll have a sweettooth for Leiffy Luciano’s “Candy Lady”. One that pressing play is certain to satisfy.
“She said ‘I’m not that type of girl’ / So, I said, ‘What type of girl are you?’” By no means will you often-time run across a street-hardened, trap anthem dedicated to the ladies. A joint that real ones can innately relate to, and bump shamelessly for their significant other. To many, making a record that embraces both worlds is challenging; however, for Augusta, Georgia, J-Roc 3D, it is an effortless feat. Without breaking a sweat, J-Roc 3D has cranked out “Pull Up”: a four minute banger that blends the hardcore, Southern trap sound with lyrics that praise real women world wide. On “Pull Up”, the Peach State rapper fully embellishes a woman whose earned his unyielding affection. Through holding him down, this woman has J-Roc 3D ready to “Pull Up” on her parents and confess his love. As tender as these lyrics may be, the song’s sinister production and J-Roc 3D’s gritty, Dirty South delivery make its street-leaning allure irrefutable. It is a unique, Georgia smash, bound to be played on every block in Augusta and beyond. Although, Valentines Day has passed, you can still “Pull Up” and show your lady some gangsta love. Give it a spin, and peep the music video at the link.
The beginning of RK DMOB’s colossal single, “B!+CH”, is mellow and slow. Yet, the moment his voice collides with the mic, everything explodes. A North Carolinian whirlwind rips through the booth, leaving nothing but a trunk-rattling banger in its wake. “Diamonds on my neck, bitch! I run up a check, bitch!” RK DMOB is scorching the very moment the first 808 drops; rocking the chilled, rhodes chord progression with a flurry of modern-trap drums. A Houston twang, which has crept into the rapper’s delivery through eight years of living in the Lonestar State, wobbles at the end of each and every bar. The fusion of these two influences (North Carolina and Texas), into “B!+CH” make for the perfect Southern, club-ready hit. Whether he’s banging out of your aux, or blasting from the speakers of your local venue; one thing’s for certain: RK DMOB will be climbing the charts.
A latin guitar, seasoned by a wispy vocal sample and ad-libs from Maor Mo, himself, slowly spark his latest single, “Karaoke”. Featuring the undeniable, Hip-Hop legend, Talib Kweli, early into the record, “Karaoke” foreshadows its potential as a chart-topping, R&B hit. The flame shoots up the wick the moment our Floridian crooner busts into his initial verse: a fast-pace rhyme bouncing along steady percussion. Albeit, a captivating way to kick off an R&B record; the real explosion occurs the moment his first melody is vocalized. He incinerates icons, T-Pain and Drake, with a fiery, harmonized bridge that slides into a scorching, soulful chorus. This energy is forwarded into his succeeding verse; however, the instant an anticipated, “Black Star” someone graces the mic, all hell breaks loose. With a quick, yet classic verse that will certainly magnetize Hip-Hop heads worldwide, Talib Kweli brings the energy of “Karaoke” full circle. The emcee inertia Maor Mo kicked off this record with, flows smoothly into the legend; and from the legend, into this epic, radio-ready smash. As passionately as he references them on his hook, there will be no more “Karaoke” bars for this Miami musician. With a song like this he’s headed for a much bigger stage. @Maor

Houston rapper, TheFNKing’s, latest single, “Walk Away”, is as angelic as it is nefarious. Contrasting the abysmal, villainous Jordan Vandy-production that upholds it, is the seraphic singing of Holly Simmons on the chorus; bestowing a powerful duplexity onto an already vigorous record. Darkly, keys sparkle in the background of the beat, furthered by the lunge of piano chords and moving trap percussion. Like a light at the end of the tunnel, Holly Simmons splits this darkness with a resplendent belt, igniting a catchy, soul-stirring hook with every breath. That light only glows brighter with the blast of King’s awe-striking first verse. In this verse, and the one after it, King delivers that classic, Texan passion no ear can resist. The microphone is utterly crushed under the weight of his spirit, as he volleys bar after bar in a pure fire of conviction. Truly, “Walk Away” is for the fierce and determined. It is a roar of perseverance; and when matched with others, on TheFNKing’s “Long Live King” mixtape, the world is destined to hear.

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.
