jus lovehall - "THANK YOU"


jus lovehall has been one of the most talented cats in CT - and really just in general - since his days as a youngin' rocking with the Cold Blooded crew. I can vividly recall the first time I heard dude's music, being awestruck at his ability to flow so smoothly while dropping such intricate wordplay.

He was in his late teens at the time.

Regardless of how gifted he was back then, jus has done nothing but level up over time - praises due to an unparalleled drive and dedication to his craft. And today, jus lovehall makes his highly anticipated return to releasing music, inspired by the actions of his friend Bleek during a recent battle with depression.

This one is a beautiful testament to brotherhood and life, capturing with precision the maneuvering through the highs and the lows of existing. It calls to attention the importance of looking out for those around you - even your skrong friends - and mindfully showing love to the people that love you, because you might not have that chance tomorrow.

Knowing this is a lesson jus has learned the hard way makes "THANK YOU" all the more powerful, as the raw emotion finds a way to rise from jg's cool, calm and collected delivery. It's a chill-inducing piece of art, highlighting the unabashed honesty and authenticity lovehall is willing to put on public display.

To back his vocals, jus lovehall re-produced "CALLIGRAPHY", a joint off Saba's Care For Me, utilizing additional instrumentation from RUDY, Kronik and Addae.

Listen to "THANK YOU" 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...

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 ...
