Vee Skeeno - "Stumbling" (feat. The Sloth & Jaden Castro) [prod. KingNamedTutt]

As a lifelong resident of Connecticut for the 28 years I've been here in the physical, I've got a lot of world left to experience. But I've also become very familiar with the CT music - specifically hip-hop - scene, especially over the last five or six years. For a lot of reasons (some justified, some not), the music coming from CT is pretty heavily slept on. That being said, there are a number of extremely gifted artists in this state who are dedicated to perfecting their craft and growing into themselves, both personally and artistically.

Since I started immersing myself in CT hip-hop, three of my favorite artists based out of CT are/have been Vee Skeeno, Jaden Castro and The Sloth. So, seeing Skeeno drop a new record that features all three is no doubt a musical blessing for this blogger/fan.

With "Stumbling", listeners get to experience how beautifully the unique style of each artist blends together with the others. For fans, this should come as no surprise - all three have been working closely together for years in some form or fashion, as The Voyagers, Funk Gero, Nu-Irth and UZOO.

"Stumbling" features production from KingNamedTutt, who provides a wavy instrumental that gives off a simultaneously chill yet energetic vibe. It suits the delivery of Skeeno, Sloth and Castro, who take turns lacing the beat with their respective verses.

Open your mind and give a listen to "Stumbling" 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...

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 ...

Tobe Nwigwe - "Ode To Fat" (feat. David Michael Wyatt) [prod. LaNell Grant] (Video)

Love, of course, is not an easy road to travel. But, when the love is real and when the love is divine, all the challenges, hardships and trials prove to be worth it. Real love - true love - always prevails. As the visual descends from the Heavens, Tobe Nwigwe begins the dulcet delivery of his prose. With a stoic demeanor, he stands with his Queen, as an enchanting dance installment takes place in the field upon which they stand. Nwigwe chronicles the journey that is his soul connection with Fat while the camera pans out. With "Ode To Fat", Tobe Nwigwe reveals the blessing from God that is the pregnancy of his wife. And this, he states, is "the most genuine form of happiness [he's] felt." From there, the latest #getTWISTEDsundays release is like an angelic embrace from the parents-to-be, the words of Nwigwe containing such an incomparable purity and bliss that it's near impossible not to catch goosebumps from this release. Saturated with artistic exp...
