Jobo - "Last Godz" (feat. RUDY)

There is a very legitimate aura of authenticity that encapsulates Jobo and it radiates through the music he releases. While he may have a tendency to troll with the best of them online, his energy is always real - the Bear God is never pulling punches or keeping it PC to please or comfort anyone. In today's musical climate, both locally and in the mainstream, this raw authenticity is experienced less and less frequently.

And that is why what Jobo brings to the table is important.

Despite being a fan of professional wrestling, Jobo does not grip tightly to a gimmick. He walks through life, and delivers his music, as he deems appropriate. What we get is the truest essence of who Jobo is and that becomes more apparent as he continues to grow into himself artistically.

"Last Godz" is presented in the same manner as "Warning Bite" - a visual offering a glimpse of what will live in full upon the release of Bear God EP II. Jobo provides just enough to get the viewer hooked and wanting more, while still ensuring his upcoming EP will feature unheard content that carries on the vibe cooked up with the condensed previews. By ending the video abruptly, we're left with a knowing that there is more to come. And when Jobo is ready to do it on his terms, BGEPII will be liberated.

The latest release features RUDY, who is a blessing on any track he touches. There always seems to be something a little more special when two friends link to create music, especially when they are both as talented as Jobo and RUDY are in their respective rights. "Last Godz" showcases a juxtaposition of creative abilities and styles, blending the energy of both artists together into a #toosweet final product.

"Last Godz" is blunt and abrasive, again highlighting Jobo's unique ability to attract listeners with an inviting arrogance. While many pseudo "woke" individuals are flexing on socials about eradicating their egos, Jobo is demonstrating how powerful the ego can be if one stays rooted in authenticity.

Daps and pounds to Bklyn Lo for the visual experiencing, capturing the flick on a dark and cold night. With nothing but the natural lights of the city illuminating the shots, the vast shadows of the video dance beautifully with the vibe of "Last Godz".

Bear God EP II is on the way. Hit play on "Last Godz" below.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Ian Matthew - "Ashtray"

Beyond creating good music, the most vital characteristic in any artist is - in my opinion - growth. And growth comes in many forms but, more often than not, the greatest growth comes from recognizing shortcomings; from falling and getting back up, learning from the highs and lows of the evolutionary process. "Ashtray" is the first joint I've heard from Ian Matthew that makes me feel like dude is truly stepping into his own artistically. And I mean that with the utmost respect. The latest drop from the CT-based artist features Ian taking a few big steps back from a stereotypical, bar-heavy hip-hop sound, instead embracing a smooth style that is highlighted by some passionate crooning. And, man, it works really well. Backed by some light acoustic production, Ian is able to allow the emotion to emanate from his vocals, capturing the attention of the listener with his raw delivery. There are enough emcees filling records with catch-as-catch-can lyrical prowess, ma...

Raz Simone - "Around The Way" (feat. B-ragg) [Video]

While we're currently here on Earth, inhabiting these physical vessels, it is each individual's responsibility to be the architect for the life they desire. As such, one has the power to actively choose to manifest and live the life they want - whether an individual chooses to thrive and live in their light or succumb to the comfortable complacency of their darkness is solely that person's decision to make. But, based on the thoughts, words and actions you consciously or subconsciously decide to put out into the Universe, the Universe will return to you exactly what you send out. So take your power back. Far too often, people surrender their personal power to exterior forces - be it money, relationships, jobs, environment, dis-ease, etc. Despite all the "darkness" that seems to be taking up space around the world today, we are living in extremely auspicious times. And now, perhaps more so than ever, is the time for each and every being on this plane...
