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.

Star Song: Millionaire – Two4One

Two4One

Check out today’s song, Millionaire by TWO4ONE. This track is coming from their album Bargain Basement Shit, released in March.

TWO4ONE consists of Dutch Young ( described as The, Man, The Myth and The Legend) and Belligerent. Together these hip hop duo bring to the table the fashion forward beats with lyrics that’s relatable and definitely speak to your soul. Within a year, the combination of head-rolling beats and clever but hard-hitting wordplay took these guys from small bars in their hometown Missouri to the airwaves in Alaska.

Well have a listen to Millionaire, as this track just displays that these guys are steadily going places. With laid back raps that grooves with the smooth, easy-cruising bassline, it won’t be surprising that they will go way beyond the Alaska airwaves in no time.

So if you’re digging this track, head over to their Bandcamp page and check out the album.

Review: The Artist – Brad

BRAD

1.Pray
2. U.O.E.N.O Freestyle
3. Under Control
4. Get Your Freak On Freestyle
5. Practice
6. Blessed
7. Too Alive
8. BRAD City
9. No Church  In the Wild
10. R.I.P Freestyle
11. Train Freestyle

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)

Danny Green KP

Today’s track is Been Missing by Danny Green KP.

Man, this Philly rapper has been busy…besides releasing his mixtapes The Current Times of Danny Green and 4th Quarter Grind earlier this year, he was recently featured on his boy SUGE MASAYA’s remixed version of I’m SO.

Now he produced (and also featured on) the atmospheric, spaced out track with MIZZY CARLO. Don’t leave this post until you have a bash – because these guys’ raps are on the money!

If you’re really feeling it, there plenty more tracks on his SoundCloud page – there’s no time like the present!
