Here is some new music from Yung Texxus & Tek Neek featuring Bun B off their new project Dead Presidentz -N- Caddies. At one point “I’m Comin Down” was the #1 most added song to indie and internet radio charts, and cracked the Top 40 indie records. It has a nice flow and a great beat, they killed it!

We all love aimlessly wandering through Youtube until we finally find that one song that really catches our ear. Today I stumbled across this group straight out of Detroit named Clear Soul Forces. The group consists of four members;  E-Fav, L.A.Z., Noveliss, and producer/emcee Ilajide.

Their track entitled “Get No Better”  reminded me that Hip-Hop is far from dead. These dudes pack an old school flow mixed up with some new school beats and some tight lyrics. If there is any doubt in your mind that today’s  industry is filled with swagged out white kids who can’t spit a rhyme, I highly suggest checking out “Get No Better” by Clear Soul Forces.

Be sure to check out their Facebook. Watch Official Music Video to “Get No Better” below. (more…)

My favorite rapper in the game right now, Childish Gambino just released yet another fire track called “We Ain’t Them”. It has a simple beat but if you pay close enough attention to the lyrics, you will respect him way more. This track is pretty much for all the haters of his out there telling them that he does not care what they think and he is doing his own thing with lots of success. Enjoy!
