EP Review: The Dreamix Project – Dreama

Continuing the run of on-point female emcees is DREAMA. Just ten days ago, the London-based alt-hip-hopper released her latest effort, The Dreamix Project.

The four-track collection have bursts of EDM trap and dubstep, topped off by this hot property’s faster-than-lightning flow. Reading this on paper, you may get the impression that the EP is brash and possibly invasive to the ears – but it’s the complete opposite: it’s seamlessly smooth, which somewhat feature a laid back 90’s vibe.

So if you want to challenge your musical taste, check this bad-boy package out.

New Track! The Becoming – ICIE

The Becoming is the latest record from North London rapper ICIE, and comes off his brand new EP, The Phoenix.

The four-and-a-half production documents many struggles and dichotomies of masculinity that men must journey through in today’s society while accompanied by a shuddering beat by Johnny Juliano.

It seeks to celebrate the men trying their best to inhabit every role required of them, while serving as an open book for women to better understand their partners.

This is the lead single from the EP, and is out now on all digital platforms.
