As for the album, it vividly depicts his undivided love for hip-hop  and dealing with the battles that comes with it, by creating the genre into an “ideal” of a woman.

Song of the Day: Polaroid Flick – Tru Fam

TRU FAM Thrill XL

Check today’s song, Polaroid Flick   from hip-hop duo TRU FAM. The track is coming from their latest mixtape, Thrill XL, released  the end of April.

Hailed as one of the freshest acts in their hometown, New Jersey, twin brothers Sha (Shareef Naley) and Justi (Tyreef Nealy)  mix hip-hop with a dense downtempo drive (or, if you like, trip-hop.)

It all started back in 2009, when the release of their debut mixtape, Out of this World,  brought them back-to-back performances around New Jersey. Their track All We Need earned them a spot at the Van Rap Tour and they  also received heavy coverage on MTV and Last F.M. with their project Bowties and Applause.

The success doesn’t end with attention-grabbing tracks – they’re on a serious mission in building their brand #ULTRACULTURE, which encourages people to go for their dreams.

So have a blast at  Polaroid Flick to find out why they deserve all the hype…and if you’re digging this track, head over to Soundcloud and listen to Thrill XL.

Lucchi Why you Mad

Today song is Why you Mad by Ohio-based hip-hop artist LUCCHI. The track is the second release of his latest EP, Unappreciated.
