DJ Taye (Ft. DJ Manny) • "Burnin' Ya Boa"

Today we’ve got a track from DJ Taye called “Burnin’ Ya Boa", featuring DJ Manny, a patient song you can sink into.

Freddie Old Soul • Freedom Papers

Freddie Old Soul is a local musician who's name offers insight into her music. Old soul that she is, the wisdom beyond her years can quickly be found in her new project Freedom Papers. There's reflection in her lyrics, with an aesthetic that actually straddles the line between tweak contemporary and something more classic. Freedom Papers intends to "...document her journey of self in a soul-driven hip hop narrative, influenced by the need for the preservation of culture. She reclaims her joy as an African-American woman in a system that does not serve and protect. It is freedom of fear and knowledge of self that triumphs the evil-doers of this world." it's Freddie Old Soul's songwriting and perspective that holds the project together.

New G Herbo? 'Nuff said, and the album title speaks for itself.

Available on Spotify but also out there on Youtube, Strictly 4 My Fans is exactly what a G Herbo fan wants to see; hard beats, rough, manic flow and, and the wild lyricism we've all come to expect from the high quality brand that he's created for himself.

Lil Chevy • "Gucci Bucket"

A little slow to the draw on this one, but better late than never. Lil Chevy has teamed up with Decent Militia's Arlen Texas loving producer Squared Hill for a track that will blast any party off in less than 2 minutes flat. If you don't know them, this will be the perfect introduction. Like many songs from the Decent Militia crew, "Gucci Bucket" has irresistibly high energy, a song that you'll unconsciously find putting on repeat without fail. Chevy keeps up the pace with vocals that dare the listener to not bounce, and Squared Hill matches those vocals up with the perfect Decent groove, both lurching and feel good, to keep the track moving. These guys put out music fast so keep your eyes peeled for more Decent hits.
