Fekky – Way Too Much (ft. Skepta)

by .

PRODUCER: Splurgeboys
DIRECTOR: James Barber
UPCOMING PROJECT: El Clasico

The last time we seen London’s Fekky and Skepta on a track together was for the remix of “Still Sittin’ Here”, and now the duo is back with their latest collaboration and it’s “Way Too Much”. The Splurgeboys produced grime track has just the right amount of kick and punch making it an instant banger. The UK rappers go on to rap about the abundance of success and achievement oozing nothing but confidence in their verses. While Fekky raps casually with a laid-back flow, Skepta has a bolder approach with a much more aggressive and energetic flow. In the James Barber directed video, the dynamic duo are seen red cups in hand turning up and chilling in the tour bus. By the looks of it they had way too much fun making this video. Stay tuned for Fekky’s debut album El Clasico coming soon and check out Skepta’s latest release “Back Then“. Enjoy the video above!

Jay Rock – Gumbo

PRODUCER: J.LBS
UPCOMING PROJECT: TBA

As we wait for the release of his sophomore album TDE’s most underrated member Jay Rock blesses us with his latest single “Gumbo” exclusively released on Spotify. Produced by J.LBS the record features some rolling high hats, psychedelic guitar strums, and piercing strings. He approaches the beat with a solid flow to match the mellow vibe of the track, however his delivery is still relentless as he brings the heat with each bar. The hook contributes to the smoothness of the record with a very catchy melody that will have you head bopping in slow motion. After previously releasing “Money Trees Deuce“ and giving us a whole lot of flavor on this record, I think it’s safe to expect nothing but greatness from Jay Rock’s second album which is to be released soon.

Henry Daher – Dirty Game Basics (ft. Mookie Jones)

PRODUCER: Henry Daher
UPCOMING PROJECT: TBA

After dropping “Matts and Jims“ two weeks ago, one of Orlando’s most talented producers and drummers Henry Daher is back with “Dirty Game Basics.” The beat has a very slow tempo with a very distinct jazz sound with some deep bass, drums, and horns being the most prominent. Feautured on the track is Houston’s Mookie Jones who raps steadily in unity with the beat. As the ninth installation to his OTT (#OnlyTheTruth) series its no surprise that his storytelling skills thrive and his bars are brutally honest. He takes us through the basics of a “dirty game” where hustling, greed, and family ties can quickly turn lethal when he gets set up. Next he takes us through the story of a young girl lacking guidance and self-worth getting pimped by an older man. The only way to survive a dirty game? Don’t drop the soap, stay clean, and don’t snitch. Listen to the track above and keep an eye out for Henry Daher’s project coming soon.

PRODUCER: Adrian Young
SHOT AND DIRECTED BY: Flowercop

South Florida upstart Noex is back with his latest visual for “Piece vs. Peace” produced by Adrian Young. His lyricism calls for a greater cause in this record so open your ears and your mind to digest the real message. After observing citizens being institutionalized by the government for so long, Noex unleashes his inner frustrations visualizing two options to induce change, obtaining a piece or obtaining peace. Flowercop only enhances the power and emotion of the message being conveyed with the entire video being in only black and white. Clips from the Civil Rights movement and other harsh injustices are displayed in Noex’s face as he raps as well as in the backdrop. Take a look at this impressive cut above!
