Mixtape Review: To Be A Star – E-Thrilla

To Be A Star Cover 2 E-Thriller

UK Rapper/songwriter E-THRILLA left me wanting more with his EP, Room For Improvement (featured back in March on NEW LEASE MUSIC). It’s been a long (ish) time but he returns, finally dropping his debut mixtape, To Be A Star.

Did it quench my thirst? Like the EP, Room For Improvement, his trademark of sweet atmospheric melody was featured in  his latest project but there’s a stronger punch of hip-hop with the presence of electronica  and disco. Each track documents the Mancunian’s determination to make it big time.

So to answer the question, To Be A Star sure did quench my thirst and if you’re always in search of hip-hop tracks that push the boundaries, well I’m sure this mixtape will hit the spot.

Mixtape Review: Y.O.D.A – K.I.N.G Holloway

King holloway YODA

Dallas-based emcee K.I.N.G HOLLOWAY dropped his fifth mixtape, Y.O.D.A (You’re On Drugs Again).

The 18-track gives an insight in the 22-year-old’s life – and boy, it’s a roller-coaster ride! Featuring clever takes of 70’s classics with seriously head-rolling bassline, this hop-hop wordsmith spits (in his raspy and husky voice) lyrics that seriously rips through the soul – and (at times) have you on the floor in tears of laughter!

Y.O.D.A is a mixtape that incorporates various musical styles where this talented rapper switches his flow to every single beat. Overall, it’s just GOOD music – enjoy it right here.

The #MustListens:  You’re A Part of Me, Power of Cum, Mac, Heaven & Earth, Letter to my Ex, Recent Memories, Her Payback.

Mixtape Review: Rap is Life – Dope Soull

Dope SOULL Rap Is Life

Teenage emcee DOPE SOULL returns with his latest project, Rap Is Life released on 6th June.

While most rappers use quitted-witted and laugh-out-loud wordplay, this upriser used hard-hitting lyrics of (as the title of the mixtape indicates) his unflappable love for hip-hop over seriously chilled out beats.

He once said on NEW LEASE MUSIC that his music ‘provides knowledge for the young generation’. In fact all generations can relate to his soul-tugging lyrics- and it’s definitely displayed in the 11-track production. So feel his love and hunger for hip-hop through Rap Is Life right here.
