ikonic410

1. Change (intro)
2. Get The Picture Feat. Cteck
3. Speak Ya Mind
4. 40’s Feat. WordPlay Smitty
5. Charm City
6. Kill Your Radio

Hip-hop upriser IKONIC released his mixtape ST33LO last month. The 6-track production features a vintage raw hip-hop sound, which is quite reminiscent of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and MOS DEF. The out-of-this-world beats are coupled with thought-provoking, hard-hitting lyrics. Such lyrics are prominent in tracks Intro Change and Get The Picture (feat. Cteck).

The standout tracks of the album has got to be Speak Ya Mind and Kill Your Radio, as you get to witness this guy’s move-to-the-beat raps which perfectly washes over that chilled out, old-school hip-hop drive. A must witness!

If you’re a REAL hip hop head, your next step is to have a blast at ST33LO. If you’re a great lover of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and MOS DEF, the chances are you will love every single track of this mixtape. Check it out here.

Star Song: Danny Green KP – The Life Of….

Danny Green

Check out today’s star song, The Life Of…by Philly rapper DANNY GREEN KP. The track is coming from his debut mixtape, The Current Times of Danny Green released April this year.

If you haven’t heard of this rapper, then you’re missing out – BIG TIME! The Life Of… is a seriously dope, bass-thumping track where you get to hear this talented artist’s smooth and laid-back raps. Go on, have a listen!

If you’re really feeling this track, this guy released another hot mixtape – called 4th Quarter Grind- in July. Check it out here.

Star Song: Something to Tell – Dice Cannon (ft King Dice O)

Dice Cannon

Today’s song is coming from DICE CANNON featuring KING DICE O.

Recently I featured DICE CANNON’s long-time collaborator KING DICE O with the release of the upcoming mixtape, The Life Vol.1.  Now he’s back featuring on his boy’s super smooth track, Something to Tell. This track features some crazy cuts from JANET JACKSON’s 80’s hit Let’s Wait Awhile. To top it off, you get to hear both of these guys’ smooth, bounce-to-the-beat-flow. They make it look so easy! Check it out! If you’re liking this track, you can head over to DICE CANNON‘s SoundCloud page where you can check out a collection of his tracks.

This track is coming from DICE CANNON’s upcoming mixtape Casualties Of Dice Game, AND KING DICE O’s mixtape, The Life Vol.1

Star Song: TheWeatherMan – MossBurn

MossBurn

Today’s song is TheWeatherMan by West Michigan rapper MOSSBURNTheWeatherMan is the latest single from his mixtape, You Already Know What It Is – Volume One. This track shows that this guy is not playing – he’s definitely on a mission! With a rolling bass line that oozes pure groove and confidence (plus this hip-hop artist’s on-point rapping), TheWeatherMan has all the components of becoming a chart-topping single!

Coming from a deprived area won’t stop MOSSBURN (which is an internal acronym for “Minorities Oppressed Still Strugglin Blacks Uniting Real Niggas”) from making it to the topjust like fellow Michigan famous rappers, EMINEM, MC BREED, THE DAYTON FAMILY and KID ROCK.

If you like the sound of TheWeatherMan, head over to SoundCloud where you can listen to all of MOSSBURN’S standout tracks. Enjoy!
