Rolling Loud Roll Call: SDotBraddy

February 26, 2015 by Christian.

Miami’s SDotBraddy is a name not to forget, and certainly one not to mispronounce (not pronounced Brady, like the quarterback). As a member of the notorious C9 collective, he’s certainly in good company with fellow rappers Denzel Curry, JK The Reaper, Mike Dece, Yoshi Thompkins, producers Ronny J, Poshtronaut, Rem, and of course their manager Mark Maturah who keeps everything and everyone organized. While Miami is often known for turn-up, booty-shaking, trap music, Braddy certainly brings that same energy and aggression, however, his lyrical content is far more developed with substance. It is the intentions of the rapper that separate him from the more ignorant side of the genre, as he tells Miami New Times, “I’m not doing this for attention. I’m doing it mostly for people that are in my situation that have gone through what I’ve gone through”. With his album Private Sessions on its way, fans can tune into his Denzel Curry-assisted single, entitled “Darius”, to better familiarize themselves with the Miami rapper, who will be gracing the stage at Rolling Loud Festival in Wynwood tomorrow.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Lamb$

February 26, 2015 by Christian.

If you could not already tell by his image, the Cincinnati rapping newcomer known as Lamb$ is a big fan of No Limit, sporting the gold grill, camo gear, and that iconic album artwork style as seen on projects as early as his Lamb$ 3000 mixtape. This major influence can be attested for in songs like “Percy”, where he proclaims Master P’s legendary status. The record had MishkaNYC claiming, “It was a 2014 interpretation of ‘Mr. Ice Cream Man.'” However, despite the nostalgia, the rapper holds his own unique style, and showcases is well on songs like “Digi Scale”, of which the remix recruited noteworthy names like Key!, Reese, and Tazo. Within the past year, the Madisonville native released a buzzworthy EP, entitled Fukk Karma, garnering nearly 50,000 plays off the strength of mainly himself, and a memorable A$AP Ant feature on the song “Worried.” While it is clear through his social media account handles, Lamb$ does not get much sleep, and despite that, it has paid off. Catch Lamb$ wide-awake as he performs live at Rolling Loud Festival tomorrow in Miami.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Shy Glizzy

February 26, 2015 by Christian.

Shy Glizzy is a DMV rapper, hailing from the southeast D.C. area, specifically 37th street as he has been known to shoutout in his songs. From WorldstarHipHop fame early on in his career, Glizzy has developed a substantial cult following, and has even rounded up fellow creatives he believes in to form his own Glizzy Gang, of which everyone sports the last name Glizzy (to a Ramones or A$AP effect). His knack for simplistic-yet-catchy club records has matched well with his powerhouse production from the likes of Zaytoven, Metro Boomin, Young Chop, and Cardo. His Law mixtape series has recruited rap’s most talked about acts like A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz (on his “Awwsome” remix), Migos, Bobby Shmurda, and Yo Gotti. Shy Glizzy is not shy to the spotlight, on and off the stage. The spotlight will certainly be on the DMV rapper this Saturday in Miami Rolling Loud Festival.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Case Arnold

February 26, 2015 by Christian.

Case Arnold is a 23-year-old rapper from a place called Clarksville, Tennessee. While, most people would be quick to dismiss any Tennessee rapper not from Memphis, the young spitter has rightfully put in the work, despite having a father who worked as a producer in Nashville for several years. Recognized as a scene veteran, the Clarksvillain has made his rounds performing throughout the greater Tennessee area (including a coveted opening performance at a stop on Wale’s Ambition tour), as well as venturing out of state to perform in Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, and continues to perform untapped music scenes around the country. His notoriety on the internet includes an array of mixtape releases, from his debut Bedhead Diaries to 2012’s The Myndstate. With a will to succeed as a performing artist, Case continues on his path as he embarks on a quest to take his talents to Miami for Rolling Loud Festival this Saturday.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Retro Sushi

February 26, 2015 by Christian.

The duo consisting of Jace & CEEJ, known as Retro Sushi, is certainly a staple of the Two-9 Hip Hop collective out of Atlanta that has been booming ever since their initial formation. The two gained their notoriety shortly after the release of their Kung Fu In Japan mixtape, ultimately leading to their signing with Mike Will Made It’s Eardrummers Entertainment last year. Signing around the same time was rising Atlanta sensation Rae Sremmurd, of whom Jace appears on their debut album Unlock The Swag. They also appear on B4FRVR: the first Two-9 release as a collective since signing the deal, which features fellow members Curtis Williams and FatKidsBrotha, as well as Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign. More importantly, the dynamic duo will bring their eccentric live performance to the Odd Sox Stage at Rolling Loud Festival this Saturday in Miami.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Curren$y

February 25, 2015 by Christian.

What more is there to say about this legendary New Orleans MC, who has been non-stop for the past decade, releasing over a dozen projects, including a billboard-charting single and album, countless sold-out tours, and several major brand collaborations, all ultimately leading to his signing to Warner in 2011. Upon signing, Curren$y further enhanced his brand with the official sub-imprint label Jet Life Recordings, under which he signed Sir Michael Rocks of Cool Kids fame, along with his prodigy Young Roddy and the rest of his inner-circle of emcees. Stacking those residuals, he plays his money smart, investing in small business with ST Customs auto company based in New Orleans being his main project outside of music. While you can regularly catch Spitta either in the lab working on Pilot Talk 3 or showcasing his car collection via Cruise Life Car Club on his various social posts, you can certainly catch him in the flesh performing all of the hits and hopefully some unreleased Ski Beatz records on Saturday, February 28th at Rolling Loud Festival.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Ryshon Jones

February 25, 2015 by Christian.

Philadelphia’s very own Ryshon Jones has been making his fair share of noise in the rap game. The 23-year-old MC first hit the internet in 2011, with several mixtape releases that had production from rising Chicago producer Thelonious Martin (“New Jet City” by Curren$y) and West Palm Beach’s own Danny Dee (“Brad Jordan” by Isaiah Rashad), garnering the attention of bloggers and fans alike. However, it was not until his breakthrough project Hope Is A Dangerous Thing that some major looks would start to come his way, from Vice/Noisey interviews to Complex premieres. Having released such an abstract and artistically mature body of work with critical acclaim, he was able to touch big stages on multiple occasions at events such as SXSW, A3C, CMJ, and recently opening for Big KRIT and Two-9 on their Pay Attention tour. Continuing a streak of career-building performances, the Philly rapper will touch down in Miami and bless the stage on Saturday, February 28th, at Rolling Loud Festival.
