L.A.'s MTV Sucker Free Freestyle



Shouts to my homegirl Brooklyn emcee L.A. for her Sucker Free freestyle, which dropped Sunday. I've been a supporter of L.A. since I first heard her rhyme. The girl raps good. Ha! But really, she's good people, talented and has a dope sound. And folks keep telling me there aren't any quality female emcees. Oh. Ok.

Jinesis "Coffee Shop 2​:​the four fundamentals"


A fresh project that Jinesis calls "one of my babies" is a pretty dope instrumental project from the dope NYC producer. I've written about Jinesis a few times on the blog and Coffee Shop 2: the four fundamentals is another example of his talent. Enjoy.


"Following up on the interest piqued from the 1st project, Jinesis returns with a second part in the Coffee Shop Series., Basing it on the 4 fundamentals of the parts crucial to his beatmaking process. Drums, Samples, MPC 2000 xl Beat Machine and Turntables, it's another glimpse into how Jinesis gets down on beats and sample chops."

Mara Hruby "Stereolab (Lose Myself)"



Mara has such a beautiful voice. Absolutely amazing. There is so much passion and soul in her music. I first caught her From Her Eyes project a week or so ago. I'm definitely a fan now. Yesterday she released the smooth and super simple, yet visually pleasing "Stereolab (Lose Myself)" video, shot and directed by Jesse Boykins III with editing credits going to Dr. Woo for Light Up Film. Mara Hruby is a true talent. If you haven't peeped her project yet, please do yourself a favor and check out marahruby.bandcamp.com. In the meantime, enjoy this video. Chea!

Interview: Mickey Factz x TheComeUpShow.com



I didn’t know until I was at the show but Mickey Factz was opening for Bun-B in the Trill OG tour. Factz told me about the debut album The Achievement, he called it a celebratory album, encouraging listeners to follow their dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Mickey Factz is truly chasing his dreams and since he came from nothing, he also discusses what keeps him motivated.
