Aaron Cohen - "Hit You" (feat. GODBODYWATI) [prod. Kemal]

It's wild to me that I've been listening to Aaron Cohen for damn near five years, jumping on the bandwagon right around the release of his 2013 project, Potential Fans. In some instances, being initially introduced to an artist with such a strong collection of music (Potential Fans was unanimously voted one of my old website's Top Ten Mixtapes of 2013) can make it hard for said artist to meet expectations with future releases.

Fortunately, the NY-by way of -Seattle artist has continuously pushed his artistry to new levels with each release since Potential Fans. Also fortunately, Cohen has blessed his fans and potential fans with a v nice catalogue of music over the years.

As his circle of peers gets smaller and his ability to create even more captivating music grows, Cohen is gearing up to drop a new project later this year. Following the release of the title-track late last year, "Hit You" serves as the second single off the upcoming, 12-track See Red.

If you've been following Cohen at all, you're well aware of his connection to both Kemal and GODBODYWATI. And you should recognize that any and all combination/s of these artists results in beautiful music. If you haven't been following these guys, go do a little research after experiencing Cohen's Kemal-produced and Wati-featured "Hit You". You can thank me later.

Over Kemal's ominous and intimidating production, Cohen and GODBODYWATI take turns painting a picture of their experiences with fair-weathered friends, dick-riders and trend followers. I enjoy the calm delivery from both artists, which juxtaposes nicely with the serious and real subject matter. The vibe of the record feels like a casual middle finger, as if saying: yo, we see you and you suck...but your bullshit has nothing to do with us.

According to Cohen, See Red is tentatively scheduled for release in February.

In addition to the new track, I've included the visuals for the album's title track because they dropped before the launch of this blog and the aggressive, in-your-face record and accompanying video is well worth your time.

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...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life. Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...
