Here's a tape Dj Heat and I put to together to showcase DMV talent as well show our appreciation to the DMV music scene. Enjoy!
@LilDarryl301 - Mad Or Nah (Prod. Kyduh Beatz)
Darryl Oulai (born September 18, 1996), better known by his stage name
"Lil Darryl" is an African-American rapper from Montgomery County,
Maryland. He is a member of "BlueMoneyGang". Darryl began entertainment
at age 10. He first started posting videos on his YouTube channel
(LilDarrylTV). "I started of posting dancing videos because I started
dancing before I started rapping", Lil Darryl states. Lil Darryl's music
style is very versatile. "I like doing different things, I just love
music period so you can hear me on a Trap beat, pop beat, anything that
sounds good". At age 15, he moved to Greensboro, North Carolina with his
father, where he met his manager Juan Cosme. He now attends North
Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina.
@NodisMyMusic - Don't Sell it (Official Music Video)
As
Hip Hop continues its global quest to inspire the world, Sidon "Nodis"
Faris stands poised to inject his new brand of life blood into the heart
of the game. This innovative 18 year old Hip Hop artist based out of
the D.C. Metro, area embodies the vitality of his youth along with the
universal spirit of his generation.
Nodis,
derived the inspiration for his music while skateboarding the streets
of Washington, DC and suburbs of Northern Virginia with his friends. At
age twelve, in the early stages of a rough adolescence, Nodis began to
actively write and by sixteen he began pursuing his dreams by releasing
music videos via YouTube. Nodis` earliest exposure to music came from
his mother`s extensive music collection, he cites Notorious B.I.G, 50
cents, The Cure, Tupac and Nas as some of his earliest musical
influences. A short time after releasing his first few videos, his
singular style began to generate a buzz around the region. This not only
gained Nodis the respect of his peers but also secured him access to
perform at local concert venues. His most recent credits to date are
opening up at Echo Stage one of D.C. largest concert venue for industry
heavy hitters like Pusha T and The Game. His vision is to create
distinctive music that resonates with his generation, while cultivating
an expansive, audience appeal. Nodis and his collective Eleven11 aim
to ignite an awakening through selective beats and lyrical content.
He's
currently in the studio put on the finishing touches on his debut Mix
tape titled, 22nd Century, working with the likes of D9 and Grammy award
winning producer Blac Elvis. Keep your third eye open for Nodis.
@TheeRealKJ - Her Flowers
On October
23, 1984, Hip Hop would again gain an inspirational artist. The birth of
Keon Johnson, simply known as K.J., would have an impact on lyricism as
we know it. Born to Tawana McCoy and Bonnie Johnson in East Baltimore,
K.J. would soon become one of Baltimore's prolific artist. K.J developed
a vital skill at an early age which was transforming feelings and
thoughts into words. In 1996, K.J. would begin to indulge in lyricism
and through his personal situations and day to day life, K.J. is able to
amass ideas that are relatable to the everyday listener and provides a
voice for those same individuals. He would grow inspiration from TuPac,
Common, Nasty Nassir Jones, Black Thought of the Roots, Talib Kweli.
Snoop Dogg Method Man and Andre 3000 and emulate specific features from
them all and turn them into a witty, creative and unique form of Hip
Hop. Through music, K.J. believes that remedies are developed and that
all problems are solved. Thus, the idea of not "wanting the title of
having the best line," but instead providing a channel for people like
me and you to understand that we are not alone. However, on June 21,
2013, everything would change for K.J. prompting the release of his
second mix tape titled " Just Thoughts 2: Life After Her"

The 1978ers @Slimthe78er @yUthe78er - "One Nine 7-T-8"
Music
is an exchange of ideas. The 1978ers' (yU & Slimkat) album is
something for those exhausted with the shuck and jive of pop culture,
who believe in the purification rituals offered by hard snares, funky
drum kicks, soul-coughing bass, and deeply rooted vibrations.
Today, The 1978ers release their first single, One-Nine-7-T-8 (free download), from the upcoming album, People of Today.
The track is a manifesto of sorts, reminding us that the story of the
music is told through rhythm and energy forged in the cultural soul of
their birth year and developed ever since. Blake Gillespie, who
interviewed the pair of musicians and debuted the song with IMPOSE this
afternoon, writes "Slimkat produces like he’s the direct
descendent of The Ummah bloodline, while yU’s a foreign native with a
message of brotherhood in the DMV.”
Team DAR - Genesis Album @TeamDAR @TrueGodImmortal @SpeedontheBeat @ShokusApollo @DirtyLungsAXEL
Team DAR is a
DMV-based group consisting of True God, Speed on the Beat, Shokus
Apollo, and JEFF AXEL (a/k/a Black Axel). Forged through a love of
hip-hop, promoting change, and debaucherous situations, the slightly
off-kilter group of artists defines a revolution, even through seemingly
"ratchet" songs. The group delivers their own brand of sophisticated
ignorance (thank you Kanye), most recently through tracks on Speed on
the Beat's Death of the King album.
And although they tend to not write their curses in cursive, the group
does bring something sorely missing in music: the ability to be fun and
funny without forgetting that music is a tool to create change.
Diamond District (yU, Oddisee, Uptown XO) - "Lost Cause" @MelloMusicGroup
Today the nation's largest weekly newspaper, The Village Voice, premiered Diamond District's second single Lost Cause from the groups upcoming album March On Washington. The track is produced by rising star Oddisee
and features the trio (yU, Oddisee, Uptown XO) rhyming some of their
most impassioned bars to date. The three emcees bring wildly different
styles to the track and offer listeners something very fresh. Like
brothers who've gone down different paths, yU, Oddisee, and Uptown XO
all started in DC and have grown into their own unique solo careers.
Diamond District brings them together again as a testament to both their
perfect chemistry, and their uniquness as individual elements in the
musical world.
Cosmopolitan troubadour ODDISEE offers a worldly take on where he sits in modern society versus where he would have sat a century ago. Street scientist UPTOWN XO lays fire to a personal tale of struggle and survival. And finally the humble king yU puts down one of the most righteous verses ever laid. Enjoy.
