@dariuswolley - "Reminisce"

https://soundcloud.com/dariuswolley/reminisce

 

Darius Wolley was born in DC, raised in notoriously poverty-stricken Southeast and later in the college-town suburbs of College Park, Maryland. The dichotomy of his upbringing is reflected in his music as a songwriter and artist, which frequently juxtaposes edge and enlightenment. Although relatively new to industry ears, Darius is no stranger to music, creating songs that speak the truth of young America.

 

 

ARTIST.......The E.P. Package is BACK!!!!

@therealLakes @itsMDK - City on Lock

Sic Itur Ad Astra ("Thus do we reach the stars") – The Motto For Richmond, Capital City of Virginia.

To standout as an artist in today's turbulent Hip-Hop climate, full of purchased cosigns, backroom deals and other barriers against fresh innovation, there remain some acts worth their salt who won't need such maneuvers. Meet Dark Wave – a duo consisting of Richmond, Virginia natives Christopher Lakes and Matty.

Richmond has made a splash on the Hip-Hop map in times past. However, Dark Wave isn't resting on past rap glory as they seek to make their own unique impact on a scene constantly eager for the next big thing.

Christopher Lakes and Matty, soloists in their own right, have already crafted potent music on their own. Together, they usher in what they call their “Dark Sound” and there are few words that can explain. For the group, Dark Wave is more than just music, which is something the duo explains in detail.

“#DarkWave is our movement. We feel as if we're the voice for the youth and that we have the best upcoming project any artist has had. We want to make our stamp in the game and look forward to establishing our Dark Sound. We want to be remembered as a couple of the hardest working artists the industry has ever seen, in all aspects of the game.”

The Dark Sound is better experienced than heard. Ambient, aggressive, melodic, often all at once, the Dark Sound surrounds the listener and seizes upon their entire being. Dark Wave is confident that if their music is given a chance, it will raise your consciousness with immediacy.

Christopher Lakes and Matty have been working quietly behind the scenes to craft their best work. With youth and talent on their side, Dark Wave will undoubtedly shift the balance in their favor. While fans are force-fed mediocrity masked by big hooks and false features, Dark Wave takes a far more sincere approach with their art.

#DarkWave. Let it take you over but never under.

CAYAN -"ADIDAS"

http://www.audiomack.com/song/cayan/adidas

Cayan is back at it again for the winter after releasing his full length project, District Of Caylumbia 3 earlier in the summer. This time though, things are a little different. Cayanaten features sole production from the in house Cap Life sound squad, Young Savior (Popular, City Slickin) and newcomer Spida The Coolie. This project has a unique and unified sound like no other.

"ADIDAS", produced by Spida The Coolie, finds a young man hustling to make ends meet in a materialistic world, with a conscious mind and nonchalant attitude. Ol Dirty Bastard vocals set the tones for the intro, intensifying the balance factor between being godly and getting it by any means.

There will be a video shoot in DC for this song this upcoming weekend. Expect the full project before the years end.

ANY ARTIST NEDD THEIR E.P. DONE? WELL HERE YOU GO!!!!

@aclassics @tomdelaybeats @brakefast - That Shit Right (Music Video)

Nightwriter is A-Class’s 3^rd Brake Fast Records’ release, produced entirely by Tom Delay Beats.  Although the pair has worked closely together throughout the years, this is first time Class has spit exclusively on Tom Delay’s production for an entire project.

A-Class is a battle rap veteran who has consistently provided a stream of exceptional music, even before he stepped on the battle scene.  In the Grind Time and KOTD rings, he has faced the likes of Dizaster, Rone, Madness, Tantrum, and Sonny Bamboo.  He remains a fierce opponent in the battle circuit and continues to travel the world squaring up with some of the scene’s best.

The composition of the Nightwriter EP primarily documents A-Class’s experiences on the road and in between battles, much of it having been written during about his expeditions, as well as about them.  The progressive emcee continues to develop his customary free-flowing rhyme construction and unconventional flows around some catchy hooks, which is largely deviant from the unorthodox structure of Class’s previous recorded work.

Tom Delay Beats’ phonic background for the 7 song EP is expanse, ranging from bass heavy joints like “Bitch What You Talkin Bout” and “Kenny Lofton” to the funky-sounding sampling found on “Bus To NYC” and true school bangers like “Super Fat Laces”.  Tom Delay structures the overall sound of Nightwriter with clean, addictive melodies and heavy drums that allow A-Class to display his rhythmic abilities.

@JusPaul202 - Bobby Brown Jr.

 

JusPaul's Bio

Paul "JusPaul" Spires, is a multitalented singer-songwriter, performer and event host. He is currently a recording artist with Oy Boyz Records, the lead male vocalist with legendary, grammy-nominated jazz/funk band, The Blackbyrds as well as founding member of DC-based rap group, TopShelf Starz. This multitalented singer-songwriter holds his own as a solo artist and also brings "the voice" to collaborations through his signature vocal stylings.

JusPaul began his semi-professional musical endeavors with competition winning performances in middle school as a battle rapper and freestyle artist. He won competitions against upper classman and older rappers with recognition from popular WPGC-FM DJs Flexx and Rane. He went on to collaborate with local singer, Devante Gardner, performing at many festivals and events throughout the DC Metropolitan area for several years. At the same time, he co-founded Topshelf Starz, a rap group with classmates from Washington DC’s Anacostia High School. TopShelf built a following in local clubs, festivals and events throughout the DMV as well as other U.S. cities including The Black Family Reunion on the National Mall, WPGC FM musical showcases, Diamond Xcel Showcases, and A&R Hookup Tours to name a few.

After completing high school and attending community college, he continued to work with one of his music mentors, Keith Killgo, which led to his becoming lead male vocalist with The Blackbyrds in 2011. The group re-formed and released its first studio album in decades, “Gotta Fly.” The release included Track 1: “I Need Your Love” with JusPaul on lead vocals. The band subsequently went on a European tour in 2012 which included performances in France, London, Germany and Spain. JusPaul has performed with the group stateside at Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club, THEARC WDC (Donald Byrd Tribute Concert), HR-57 Jazz Club (WDC), Blues Alley and many local festivals.

For the next few years, JusPaul continued performing extensively with The Blackbyrds and Topshelf Starz. He then parlayed his musical talents into his workplace as a lead facilitator with  nationally recognized youth organization, Metro Teen AIDS. His vocal talents coupled with his leadership skills helped grow the organization’s “Freestyle Center” and “Freestyle Fridays” into an integral tool in promoting HIV/AIDS prevention/ awareness as well as youth educational development.

In 2013, he took his professional music endeavors to the next level as a solo artist and signed with Oy Boyz Records, recording, performing and collaborating as a solo artists and with label mates and many other artists. His vocal talents, writing skills on hooks and vibrant stage presence have become sought-after in the music community.

In May, 2014, Oy Boyz Records presented his self-titled mixtape release, "JusPaul." The “JusPaul” EP’s hit singles "Red Cups," "Cherry Blossom," and "Too Turnt" received positive coverage on several hip hop blogs including The Source.com, EliteDC.com, HipHopSince1987, World Star Hip Hop and AllHipHop. JusPaul was also recently featured on 93.9 WPGC-FM's "DMV Spotlight" with DJ Mr. Peter Parker and special guest artist on several internet radio shows promoting his mixtape and his musical endeavors. His recent performances include a release tour as well as performances at The King of Diamonds (Miami, Florida); SOB's NYC (Faces in the Crowd Showcase); The Howard Theatre (WDC);  Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club (The Blackbyrds); and Up and Up Open Mic (JusPaul Jam Session). His singles and collaborations can be found on multiple platforms including LiveMixtapes, iTunes, ReverbNation, SoundCloud.

JusPaul’s musical artistry is unlimited and undefined by generic musical genres -- giving rise to his stage moniker and the only true description that fits -- JusPaul.

Bo Jankans Bio

“I am authentic, every word is augmented, all the other talk is nonsense so I don't talk with it” – Bo Jankans, “Between The Lines”

If one compared Hip-Hop to a highway, the roads are certainly overrun these days with acts that lack true potency. However, nestled in the suburbs of the Washington Metropolitan area is an artist that aims to stand out among the typical fare. His name? Bo Jankans.

Hailing from Herndon, Virginia, a town just 24 miles outside of the Nation's Capital, Bo Jankans knows full well that the current Hip-Hop landscape is lacking. In his own words,  the dexterous MC has concocted a vision that is both lofty and admirable considering today's fickle climate.

“I want people to focus more on the message and what we as musicians are saying as opposed to a dope beat that will make girls shake their butts in the club. I want to give words to people who can't find the right words to say in their own life and situations. I want to remind people of the power of music.” – Bo Jankans

Cynics will most certainly respond, “We've heard this before,” but not in the fashion that Bo Jankans delivers. His last project, The Motormouth EP, produced entirely by fellow Northern Virginia native DR $crilla Ventura, displays evident growth in Bo Jankans from his last official project, Realism

Naming underground rap veterans Atmosphere, the late lyrical wizard Eyedea, legendary The Doors lead vocalist Jim Morrison and Incubus lead singer Brandon Boyd as influences, it isn't difficult to grasp how Bo Jankans came to his earnest goals in music.

With collaborations alongside fellow independent acts such as Reef The Lost Cauze, Moka Only, Seez Mics of Educated Consumers fame, Louis Logic and vocalist  India.Arie, Bo Jankans has put in the requisite work inside the booth. He has also shared stages with celebrated acts such as Pharoahe Monch, Freeway, 9th Wonder, CunninLynguists, Homeboy Sandman and Copywrite.

Bo Jankans is gearing up for the release of The Motormouth EP: Act II, which drops in October 2014. After a third “act” in the Motormouth EP series, Bo Jankans will focus his energies on releasing a full-length album.

Bo Jankans may not be on the hot station rotation at the moment, but the integrity he presents in his music far outweigh any commercial ambitions he could have. Bo Jankans will undoubtedly gain the proper light and attention his music deserves, one powerful bar at a time.

Bo Jankans. Familiarize yourself with the name. He'll be around for a while.

@innerloopbeats @scrillaventura @grussle @casitodelfresco - Inner Loop - S.I.L.K. (Official Music Video)

The Washington Metropolitan area, affectionately known as the DMV – which stands for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia respectively – has its share of top Hip-Hop talent. In recent times however, producers from the region have struggled to stand apart from the rappers that dominate the landscape. The production trio of J Scrilla, Casito and Grussle all aim to flip that perception.

Where Inner Loop will succeed in winning ear drums is how each producer cover various ground in their styles.

J Scrilla, a veteran DJ out of Northern Virginia, has been one of the more active names on the underground with acts such as Heltah Skeltah, Killer Mike, Nipsey Hussle, Roc Marciano, Mobb Deep and countless others blessing his tracks with their vocals. Inspired by legends the Bomb Squad, RZA, and DJ Muggs, Scrilla's ear for the aggressive and melodic is unmatched. And in the live setting, Scrilla's infectious personality adds to the entire package. With his focus on having a one of a kind sound, J Scrilla is well on his way in carving his name in the annals of history.

Casito, a D.C. native who was raised in nearby Prince George's County, takes a more polished sonic approach. With an ability to grasp the youthful sounds of today coupled with uncanny musical complexity, Casito's best years are ahead of him. Influenced by the late, great J Dilla, Alchemist and the legendary Quincy Jones, Casito has provided soulful backdrops for Pastor Troy, Wais P, G-Two, and Trademark Da SkyDiver. Casito simply wants to be known for his consistency and bringing an authentic approach with his production. Based on his body of work so far, he's achieving that and will do far more.

Grussle, also from Northern Virginia, has been a buzzing name on the local scene with expert showings in various beat battles and showcases. Simply put, Grussle is the soul selector of the Inner Loop conglomerate. In a game where samples and loops are often a rarity, Grussle puts the lost art of the chop back up front where it belongs. This isn't to say Grussle is a one-trick pony, as he's just as capable as his compatriots to change his style at a moment's notice. Counting 9^th Wonder, DJ Premier, Oddisee, Madlib and other dusty-fingered beat-smiths as influences, Grussle can proudly line up with any of the aforementioned and go head-to-head.

Together, the Inner Loop production squad have a collective goal: to become the go-to producers in not only the DMV region, but throughout the vast expanses of Hip-Hop period. From neck-snapping bangers, to soulfully layered sounds, and to that unadulterated filthy, nasty funk, Inner Loop most definitely has all lanes covered.

@TaricaJune - Stream of Consciousness

http://www.taricajune.bandcamp.com

 

WASHINGTON, DC - Back to shake up hip-hop, indie emcee Tarica June drops her highly anticipated second release, "Stream of Consciousness, Vol. 1", along with 2 accompanying videos--"S.O.C. (Cray)" and "GONE".

The project's title 'Stream of Consciousness' signifies not only a desire to raise consciousness, but also a pure reflection of inner-most thoughts and feelings without concern for typical song structures. In this sense S.O.C. feels like a whirlwind of words--a train you get on and ride until the last stop (in this case, the 16th track). Primarily driven by lyrics, the project's final destination is a much deeper understanding of who this emcee called Tarica really is and where/why/how she fits into this over-crowded space called hip hop.

On S.O.C. Tarica tackles many issues generally untouched in hip-hop, including school debt/student loans, general dissatisfaction with post-college life; the struggles of being an independent artist ('My Life'); the ever-expanding prison industrial complex --particularly its effects on those on the outside ('Babylon System' & 'Blame'); love--both realized, and unrealized ('L.C.S.' & 'Crush'); general insecurities and triumphs associated with artistic expression ('Hello'); and even frustrations with life in modern-day D.C.--from gentrification to parking tickets ('But Anyway'). The project is a mixture of industry beats and underground ones featuring the likes of Dela (Paris), J. Faraday (Houston), and Brock Berrigan (New Jersey).

Once again, as on Moonlight Revolution, Tarica June stands alone. Still unsigned, and still not introduced to the world by men (or anyone for that matter), she embraces her outsider status, in many cases drawing power from it. "...all it takes is for them clowns to see you with a dude sometimes... they'll use that as an excuse to claim 'he must be writin her rhymes'." she raps on 'Hello' (Tarica's take on Drake's '0 to 100'). Unfazed by it all, Tarica June is determined to be heard despite the odds stacked against her.

Stream of Consciousness, Vol. 1 is the start of what's sure to be a thought-provoking and enjoyable series.

About Tarica June: Tarica June's first project, Moonlight Revolution (2010), appeared unexpectedly and was met with critical acclaim (being called "The most important project in recent hip-hop memory" by HipHopDx and "Brilliant" by SoulBounce). This gave rise to many performance opportunities including opening for the likes of Dead Prez, Talib Kweli, and Brand Nubian, and headlining various shows and festivals throughout the United States (including B-Girl Be (Minneapolis), D.O.P.E. Conference (North Carolina A & T), S.A.M.I. (Howard University, Washington, DC). Tarica has since finished law school and passed the bar exam. Nowadays when she's not emceeing she's helping other independent artists with their contractual needs. Her music can be found on her website: http://www.taricajune.net.
