Long Island rapper KALI MAC is more than ready to show his worth in the hip hop game – to his haters (and put the island on the map – his words!) – through his latest mixtape, The Underdog 2, released earlier this month.
This 13 track production features the beat-swinging Hello, the perfect introduction to what this upriser is made of. It gets better with super smooth track Smoke Sum’n where his slow-motion, doped up raps speeds up at a switch of a light. This laid back/sped up raps continues (coupled with determined lyrics) in another equally super smooth angelic Before I Die– #mustlisten. The Underdog 2, hypes up with the electrifying track All We Got and returns to the smooth, old school/kick-off-your-shoes-and-relax-your-feet beats with the track Last Breath.
With this mixtape, KALI MAC shows that he’s no underdog – but that’s just my opinion. What you think? Well check out The Underdog 2 right here.

16. Outro
TWANDOE is the next best thing with his label Serve Camp Entertainment. Taking underground hip hop by storm, he uses heavenly laid back, car hopping beats with (at times) electric-effect raps. Electronic-effects raps? Well have a listen to his 16-track mixtape, Lingo Crazy, released this month.
Such electronic raps, are featured in Back To The Basics, Trust No Nigga Trust No Hoes and Today Is A Good Day. These tracks feature angelic/heavenly melodies and with the full-bodied and rough raps, somehow they all make good listening.
I Neva Fuk Wit Lamez is definitely the one to listen, as this smooth spaced out production features layers upon layers of awkward, slightly-out-of-time raps in the chorus. This track just shows why he’s such a big hit in the underground hip hop scene.

At the age of 22, Cory L. Houston – aka CORYLZ– already has a collection of mixtapes under his belt.
Exposed to different types of music from a very young age, this Tennessee rapper chose hip hop as ‘a main musical style of expression.’ But it wasn’t until he showcased his talent at a local party in 2005 that he was more than serious in becoming a hip-hop artist.
Without further adieu, he churned out eight mixtapes: Starlight (2005) Deep Boyz Anthem (2006); Liven Dead (2007); Era 21 (2008); Real World (2009); Heartless (2012); Cold Hearted (2012) and more recently Boy Meets World (2013)
Released last month, Boy Meets World feature some serious super raw/rough sex lyrics with smoother-than-chocolate/after hours beats – just have a listen to Melody Rapture and Mash Potatoes. I have to say that Boy meets World is not all about raw/rough sex lyrics, as the mixtape also shows a vulnerable side to the rapper. This upriser delivers his spoken word/baby-i’m- so-into-you raps in the angelic, super smooth Look of Love. Unread Letter shows his hurt he suffered from his lover over that super smooth drive. His on-pint spoken word raps returns in the heartfelt track Sheet Rock Soul which gives an insight of this young rapper’s rough upbringing and problems he had encountered in his short life.
CORYLZ hopes that his talent would one day gain interest beyond his hometown. After listening to the mixtape, I think that time is coming real soon for this hot hip hopper. Check out Boy Meets World here.

Timmal Bradford aka BRAD is more than determined to break the mould of traditional hip-hop influences though his mixtape The Artist, released last month.
If you’re unfamiliar with this Mississippi-bred rapper expect original and witty wordplay with rollercoaster raps that dip and grooves into an assortment of sit-up-and-take-note beats.
This 11 track mixtape features some seriously easy cursing productions: Pray, Under Control and Practice. With these tracks, this guy confidently raps that he’s a cut above the rest. The Artist heats up with Get Your Freak On Freestyle and BRAD City, where his rollercoaster freestyling is really evident. But the hot tracks of the mixtape have got to be the super smooth Too Alive, Train Freestyle and the funky R.I.P Freestyle.
I have to be honestly here: time after time I’ve heard rappers go on about how they’re the next best thing– but in reality they don’t cut the mustard. BRAD is different, as The Artist mixtape just proves that this guy is the ‘Mozart of hip-hop’ and is definitely staying in the hip hop game for a long while – CHECK IT OUT here (highly recommended)
