RetroI$Awesome – Iced Out/Evolve (Music Video)

Jersey-bred emcee RetroI$Awesome taps in to a nostalgic vibe with the release of his duo-track visual, “Iced Out/Evolve“. The aesthetics chosen for this particular video mirror that of the early 90’s through the VHS-like presentation, and showcase his overall artistry through his verses and style.

Fans may already be familiar with his track “Iced Out” through its heavy buzz via streaming services, but “Evolve” should take most by surprise, as we’ve never heard this unreleased track before.

Retro is preparing fans and listeners all over for his forthcoming untitled project, but we’re still revisiting his latest, “Fountain of Ice,” with videos like such. Numbers don’t lie, and Retro is indeed putting them on the board. He connects with Preston Dor for the concept & directing for this video, and rest assure as we move in on 2018, there will be more to come.

Tune in up top for the latest R$A visual piece, and keep it locked for more new music as it surfaces.

Will Wes – “Pull Up” (Prod by DJ Noble)

Bred in a small Louisiana town called Houma just an hour from New Orleans and few hours from Baton Rouge, self-described Trap/Pop rapper Will Wes is gaining widespread attention online for his counter culture look crossed with his pop friendly Hip-Hop sound.

Sporting ear gauges, all black and tattoos across his face and neck Will Wes is all in on his music career and the fans are starting to notice – not just for his looks but also for his varied sound.

“When people see me, its going to f*ck your head up and I’m totally different from anyone else. I’m me and I’m not anyone else,” Will Wes explained. “It’s this thing I call trap-pop and I don’t see many artists doing it. It’s stuff Ive seen in the streets and its also that popish feeling of listening to Justin Bieber. You blend it together and you got Trap/Pop. Pop music over trap beats.”

Although the title of his project is yet to be named, the visual for his song “Pull Up” is already getting the attention of influencers online that are clamoring to know more about this small town trailer park rapper with big ambitions.

“The first record is called ‘Pull Up’ and I’m always reppin the trailer park, from trapping out the trailer park to bigger and better things. That exciting feeling to going from the trailer park to going to the boulevard,” Will Wes said.

Staying busy over the last week in Las Vegas, NV and Oakland, CA, Will Wes is working at a furious pace to earn the attention and admiration of Hip-Hop fans worldwide.

“We got a whole bunch of unreleased music and right now we are just working on making the right sound. Once we get enough to put out a full tape,” Will Wes said. “I might be in New York, I might be in New Orleans. Right now I’m in go mode in Vegas a couple of photo shoots and some video shoots, like I said I’m never in once place.”

With the help of his label W.A.E., an acronym for We All Eat, his team is hoping that they have just enough to push Will Wes over the top to stardom.

“If I just keep doing what I’m doing, I just gotta stay consistent, stay in they faces. I got some new videos and new music that are getting ready to drop very, very soon. I’m pretty much an open book, follow the movement and keep expecting big steps from. Me I’m here to be around, I’m trying to be everywhere, its about that longevity.

Juman Jorgiano -“F*ckin With Me”

Known for his signature cast on his arm, Juman Jorgiano reps D.C. to the fullest with a chip on his shoulder.   But while rapper Juman Jorgiano has gottten a quick buzz off his mixtape Just Cuz released on Spinrilla August 23rd, he’s not stopping there.

After his continued beef with Young Gleesh, Jorgiano moves past the drama with a focus on his new music to get the fans ready for more releases like his video “Fuckin With Me.” This new release follows up “How We Came” which picked up on Philly mainstay HipHopSince1987, Florida site CitrusRaps and European site WkndTV.

“I been doing it since 2012, but I just started to take it serious a few years ago and me and Young Gleesh started recording together, I ‘ve been getting a lot of good feedback just on the strength of me putting out my own music,” Juman Jorgiano explained.
When asked about his signature cast and how it came to be prop in his music videos, Juman explained that he really did hurt his arm, but that the cast may stick around after getting so much attention.
“It’s slowly becoming my thing –  so many people are asking… just know that joint ain’t really going anywhere,” Juman Jorgiano said of his signature cast. “My arm is really fucked up and because its still kind of personal, I want to keep it to myself,  but there’s a lot of people out there that’s stuck because they have a physical disability or ailment and I want to be the one to inspire them to keep going. Ain’t nothing stopping me and my music at this point.”
Leading up to the end of the year Juman Jorgiano is looking to continue growing his buzz in the DMV and  is planning on releasing the single “Music, Money, Murder 2” the sequel, which will also have an accompanying visual.
“It’s a rough city basically, our rap scene basically coming up and people getting signed out the DMV, but its a lot of personal issues going on, where there’s a lot of artists that can’t click up because of various issues,” Juman said.
