You are officially watching the future of Florida’s music scene in one video. Flash back to 2015, when Wifisfuneral hit the net in a massive way, linking up Max P and Swamp Posse‘s SKYXXX & Keez for the NASSACRE directed “SURRRF”. It’s always awesome to see Florida artists get together and work to shoot a dope ass video like this. Best believe these four have more up their sleeves for the remainder of the year. 2015 was a bright look at the future of Florida. 2021 and beyond will be even greater.
God Body Xali has announced his world domination this week. Planning to takeover the airwaves. One week and one track at a time. That’s right. Xali will be dropping a new track EVERY week of 2021.
The first of the 52 making it onto the CitrusRap’s radar is a BIG slider, in the name of “Sweet Love”. A rhythmic and bounce evoking beat with the high octane, quote-worthy bars and ever-changing flows to match. The Broward God Body’s war cry has been issued and it has been heard. 2021 is looking to be Xali’s year.
The highly anticipated project, L1TS1NCEDAY1, is set to drop this March.
WorstHUGH makes his inevitable return to the forefront of CitrusRap. Previously releasing two singles. This was just the calm ahead of a brewing, ground shaking storm that was set to release onto the world, and it does not disappoint. Products Of A Coping Method is a body of work that can be considered a complete masterpiece.
Bringing his best, with delivering the thought of pain and different aspects of coping with the situation, wether through anger, fear, acceptance or money, imbedding those emotions in his song, and incorporates his true feelings into every track makes this project very much stands out.
WorstHUGH is the perfectionist of surreal soul, rhythm, blues and lyricism. Vivid tales of pain turned into triumph anthems. Like a bizarre hybrid of wordsmith rapping melodies, and a psychological thriller flick. This could REALLY be the score to something of an indie film!

From CitrusRap and the rest of Florida, thank you.
West Florida representer, Just Jeff, makes his CitrusRap debut. Giving us a heart tugging track of a love lost, in “Runaway”. Produced by the production ensemble, KG Beatz and Zero Beatz. A perfect way of kicking off his winter campaign. Off top the production itself places the track in a good light. Great patterns, perfecting timing, and a mesmerizing sample playing throughout. But Just Jeff slick, ear-catching melody and vibrant lyrics. The Bradenton artist perfectly describes his releases as, “an acoustic fusion pop creation, pin pointing the flaws, lies, misconceptions & misguidance”. Who knew loving someone could come with curses & toxicity thoughts? Take a listen for yourself.
Kentucky’s Philly Blocks is back on CitrusRap with his long awaited EP, Mr. 17th. A six track melee, hosted by NBA Youngboy’s official sound provider, DJ Murph, alongside DJ Ben Staxx. An EP full of vigorous sounds that’ll amplify the listener’s ears and send an adrenaline shot through your blood stream. Philly Block’s explosive flows and witty jabs is what makes this project a must listen.
