Born in Jamaica and bred in Miami, Reggae/Dancehall fusion artist Popeye Caution got his start at the early age of 16 dancing his way through the vibrant Miami night club scene. Gaining popularity in the Dancehall world performing on tours for Elephant Man, Mavado, and Beenie Man, Popeye Caution fronted one of the most popular dance crews in South Florida called Caution.

Stretch Strongarm – American Muscle [EP]

Stretch Strongarm is 27 year old emerging rapper from St. Augustine, Florida, now based in Daytona. Stretch’s name stems from his bigger than average appearance standing tall at 6’7”. He has established himself as a promising young face in the Florida rap scene and has no plans of stopping there. His style is marked highly by his diversity which allows him to sound like he belongs on any type of beat while still remaining a strong lyricist.

American Muscle is his debut EP and his first official work he has released. It contains 7 tracks, 5 of which were self-produced by Stretch. If you’re rocking with this release from the Florida upcomer, you can check out more of his music on his site here.  Without further ado, stream American Muscle below.

Cush Kan – The Free Album [Mixtape]

by .

From Miami comes Cush Kan, Homestead’s number 1 hustler.  Last month, the Miami rapper dropped The Free Album, a mixtape made of entirely original tracks from fellow Miami collective, XYZA.  On the album, Cush orates growing up in Miami’s forgotten south land and what it means to see so many of this city’s nefarious characters come and go in this many hued melting pot.  It wasn’t easy, but he has hope for the future. Like most, his next move is to get rich; he has hipster white kid’s beats and a will to win.
