This past Friday, Boston’s very own Michael Christmas blessed streaming services with his Baggy Eyes EP, originally released in 2016. It was clearly long overdue, given that it’s a project brimming with well-produced bangers that should be heard by any fan of the relatable and talented Michael Christmas. Baggy Eyes consists of charming and catchy tracks that continue to show off Christmas’s budding personality and humor. The production on here is really impressive, as we get a collection of uplifting and soulful instrumentals, along with some bouncy and melodic trap-flavored beats. Christmas also proves how talented a rapper he is, with some really slick flows and jaw-dropping rhyme schemes supporting his addicting hooks. The nuclear “Drums Might Wake Ya Mama Up” is the hardest-hitting track on the project, and features some dramatic strings during the chorus of the track, along with some flowery and spacey production during the verses. Vintage Lee, who released a single last month with MadeinTYO, is also featured on here and makes this track an overload of charisma between the two emcees. The legendary $ilkMoney is also featured on “Who Cares”. This is a great collection of tracks that stand as some of Christmas’s best work …

It’s been a little minute since the last time I have heard some new music from the young goat Kye Colors, but he is back this evening with his brand new joint titled “After Party”. Kye is one of the silkiest rappers when it comes to floating over soulful instrumentals like the one provided here, he paid homage to a classic hip-hop jam that you just might now, and he killed it if you ask me. Along with the release Kye Colors left us with a few words saying: “something special coming to you soon”, I suspect a possible full length project on the horizon from him. Who knows though I could be completely wrong, anyway though, check out this brand new song below.

Mani Jurdan is a local Chicago emcee who has been on his grind making a name for himself for a few years now, and today he is back with his brand new banger titled “Malcolm Flex. I have heard / covered at least a dozen tracks from Huey over the years, but I never heard him come on a record as hard as this before, it’s truly the definition of a banger in large part due to the bass knocking production by TanMan. I believe this is just the start for what should be a big summer for Huey, so let’s see what he does with it, press play below.

We have an artist that goes by Bobby Hagens who is making his first appearance on our platform this afternoon with his brand new project titled “Let Me Tell It”. I didn’t have any prior knowledge of Bobby before I was recommended to listen to this tape by the homie Sav, and once I ran through these twelve tracks provided I was blown away with his storytelling skills and the all around cohesiveness on this project. He seems to be a very intelligent and understanding individual from the sounds of the pictures he is painting on this tape, at often times I found myself just staring into nothing while he spoke about what trails and tribulations he has been going through / has gone through before. The Maryland product did a fantastic job with how he pieced together this project, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I believe that you will too, stream it for yourself below.

Diveliner is an artist that I have got a chance to get familiar with this year and I plan on getting to know him a little better soon when I interview him, but today he is back on our website with the release of his brand new record titled “Girl From Texas”. This offering is a bit of a sad, tear jerking record because you can just hear the pain & sorrow in Diveliner’s voice, but I believe that will resonate with his fans. Check out this new tune for yourself below and if you like it then make sure you follow him on Twitter here.

Every time I hear some of Rad Luck’s music I can’t help but nod my head to it and find myself impressed with the melodies he creates, and not to mention our readers have enjoyed his content too, so he is back on our website this afternoon with his brand new track called “Don’t Get 2 Close”. Rad Luck has the ability to walk that perfect line of having sonically pleasing sounds but also can just simply rap better than most of his competition, he is one artist that I am excited to watch grow for the rest of the year and beyond that. Get in tune with Rad Luck by pressing play below.
