Wrex Mason - 'Aquarius Sun' (Stream)

Although 9000+ has become something of a Jay Electronica-eque elusive rap fable in these parts of CT, don't doubt that Wrex Mason has been working.

On life. On himself. And on music.

Case in point is this instrumental project the NY-based / CT-raised released back in March of this year. When Wrex announced the beat tape, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with the ample vibes supplied throughout the 8-track Aquarius Sun.

The sonic landscape is composed of a finely balanced blend of airy sounds that manage to flow like water. It's a smooth project that has the full potential to house some chilled out, thought-provoking lyrical content - although I'm doubtful Wrex is looking for just anyone to hop on the instrumentals.

According to Mason, there's a collection of new music locked in his vault. Whether it's via live shows or streaming platforms, when the moment is right, I'm sure Wrex will liberate those sounds.

Stream Aquarius Sun below and support Mason by copping via Apple Music or Spotify.

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables. Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project.

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
