Nickelus F Puts Out First Album In Four Years With “The Specimen: Issue 00”

by

Long-time underground hip-hop artist Nickelus F has garnered the respect from some of the top-flight names in the rap game. However, it has not led to more mainstream appeal, unfortunately. But, the Virginian-born artist did obviously not care about making it to the limelight because he continues to pump out new music. It has been quite some time though since his last release, The Gold Mine Vol 2. In fact, it has been almost four years to the day, so what better time then to come out with a new project, The Specimen: Issue 00.

Nickelus F takes us on a bit of a space journey sometime in the future. He is found nearly dead and scientists put him in cryo-preservation on the opening track, “Cryostasis.” From that point on the first couple of tracks are him reawakening and learning about his surroundings. In a way, it could be a nod to the fact that it has been a while since Nickelus has come out with an album.

How Did Nickelus F Get On The Map?

The consistency of Nickelus F might not be known by most rap fans so, let us take a quick look at how this Richmond, Virginia-born artist got his start. Also known as Nick Fury by some, he really made a name for himself when he worked with a young Drake back in 2007. On the Cut the Check mixtape, Drake and Nickelus released the song “AM 2 PM.” It was also placed on Drake’s first mixtape, Room for Improvement, where Nickelus F made several other tracks. Those include “Money”, “A Scorpio’s Mind”, and “S.T.R.E.S.S.”.

What are your overall thoughts on this new album, The Specimen: Issue 00, by Nickelus F? If you have heard this project, what are your favorite songs from it so far?

Giggs Has “Zero Tolerance” On His New Album

by

UK rap legend Giggs is back for his eighth studio album, Zero Tolerance. This comes off the heels of his last release almost three years ago being Now Or Never. The man has been making classics over the course of his whole career and rappers from the states are always trying to work alongside the SN1 (Spare No One) rap crew leader. Some of the biggest names in the rap genre have been blessed to hop on a track with Giggs.

For example, Drake famously nabbed two features from him on his 2017 playlist, More Life. “KMT” and “No Long Talk” were some of the heavy-hitting bangers on that tracklist even to this day. Drake did his best to respect the UK rap culture by changing the inflection in his voice to sound like a Brit, and it was met with some backlash and some love. Unfortunately, no collaborations between them made it onto this tracklist, but there is some heat here for sure.

Giggs Brings Out The Big Guns

Giggs’ 18-track album has plenty of quality, in part to some of the features. Diddy joined him for the lead single to this project on “Mandem.” Furthermore, he grabbed 21 Savage for “By Chance” which is a great combination. Giggs also uses 21 in an indirect way as well. On the opening and title track, he also samples the same song by Azoto called “Rainfall.” That song was flipped by Metro Boomin and 21 on their song “Umbrella” from HEROES & VILLAINS.

What are your thoughts on this new album, Zero Tolerance, from Giggs? Was it worth the three-year wait for you? Is Giggs a top-tier UK rapper? What is your favorite song of his or from this project?

Genesis Owusu Takes You On A Trip With “STRUGGLER”

by

Experimental and alternative hip-hop artist Genesis Owusu has returned with another quirky album experience. This new project STRUGGLER details a story that maybe not one other artist would ever think to address. What is that you ask? Well, Owusu details the tale of a cockroach avoiding being squished by God and eventually, he begins to question why he is doing this. The Ghana-born and Australian-raised idiosyncratic artist is no stranger to thinking outside the box, and that is no different on STRUGGLER.

The beats and production choices are vibrant and feature lots of different drum patterns. The tracklist is 11 songs and it has a run time of 38 minutes and change. Owusu has two other projects to his name, those being Smiling with No Teeth and Missing Molars (Swnt Deluxe) which is the expanded version of No Teeth. Both were released in 2021 and it gave an immediate impression that Owusu is not your typical alternative rapper.

Where Did Owusu Get His Inspiration?

What is more interesting is the inspiration behind this new effort here. Owusu spoke with CD 92.9 FM about the journey to make this story come to life, “I feel like I kind of came to it almost as if like a like I was writing a fiction, like a short story, rather than like me documenting my life.” He continues, “So I kind of feel like it’s a world that lives on its own. I separated myself from it, and in doing that, I can make it as fantastical and as literary and otherworldly as possible.” Genius also says that he discovered this idea from absurdist literature and Franz Kafka’s, The Metamorphosis. This book also tells the tale about a cockroach and information on that is readily available.

What are your thoughts on this new album, STRUGGLER, by Genesis Owusu? Which songs are sticking with you the most? How do you feel about Owusu telling this tale of a cockroach and the inspiration he found for this project? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts for us in the comments section below.

Usher Reminds Us He’s The Internet’s “Boyfriend” On Our “R&B Season” Update

by

Our R&B Season playlist highlights no shortage of male vocalists who are known specifically for making the ladies swoon. Since he began his Las Vegas Residency, however, Usher is notably among the best at taking on his role as a heartthrob. Over the past few months, we’ve seen him serenading the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kimora Lee Simmons, Saweetie, and Keke Palmer. It was the latter’s trip to Sin City that finally landed the Southern singer the label of “domestic terrorist” as his flirtatious antics caused a rift between the True Jackson VP actress and her baby daddy, Darius Jackson. At this time, the status of Palmer’s relationship remains unknown. However, she did team up with Usher earlier this week for his “Boyfriend” music video, causing many to speculate that she’s single again.

Elsewhere on today’s update comes a collab from Ciara’s CiCi EP – “Forever” with Lil Baby. The short and sweet project came along with big news from the Atlanta-based entertainer – she and Russell Wilson are expecting their third child together. Snoh Aalegra continued her hot streak of singles with “Wait A Little Longer,” and 333 hitmaker Tinashe continues to impress us with her work as well. The latter shared “Needs,” following last month’s “Talk To Me Nice.”

DD Osama And Luh Tyler Link Up For “Pup”

by

DD Osama and Luh Tyler are here with a brand new single called “Pup.” Both teenagers are bringing bars about climbing to the top of the rap game while putting others in their place. The hook goes, “He jumped, he jumped on the mic and rapped ’bout motion / All that just a bluff / N**** I done touched [?] now I need more, that ain’t enough / N**** actin’ like he big dog, know he just a pup / They be trying to hold you down, these n***** mad to see you up.” It is an aggressive trap anthem with a simple beat, but the lyrics are what makes the song interesting.

This is also the first time Osama and Tyler have been together on the same track and this song could lead them to running it back. It has already racked up 400,000 views in just over a day and there is a reason for that. Both rappers are making a name for themselves quickly, but it is also because of the visuals that go with “Pup.” In one of the most wild videos of 2023, it is both hysterical and unexpected what transpires.

DD Osama’s Music Video Is HILARIOUS: Watch

The music video opens with an elderly couple talking about what they see across the street in their neighborhood. Both are speaking in Spanish and the grandpa is confused as to why the kids (Osama and Tyler) are dressed the way they are. The grandma is siding with them saying, “There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s the trend.” What proceeds is the grandma joining in on the the party the two rappers are at and she is having a blast.

What are your thoughts on this new track “Pup” by DD Osama and Luh Tyler? Who had the better verse and should these two work together more? If you had to rate how wild the music video was from one to 10 what would you give it?

Yeah, we gon’ run that paper, just stack it to the roof
Yeah, stack it to the roof, we gettin’ paid, ain’t nothin’ knew

Sett Drops A 29-Song Double Disc Album “Life Of A SlimeCrook”

by

Southern trap artist Sett burst onto the rap scene just a little bit ago, but he is here with plenty of music for the masses. In fact, it is a two-disc project with 29 songs on it, a tall task for a new artist to tackle. However, with a co-sign from Atlanta legend, Gucci Mane, he was able to grab some big names for his debut album, Life of a SlimeCrook. Those include Gucci, NLE Choppa, producer Tay Keith, and Rob49, among others.

The subjects tackled on this effort are nothing too different from the typical trap topics. Violence, money, and bragging are all here, along with Sett’s commanding tone. Some songs that stuck out were the songs featuring Choppa and Gucci. “Cottonwood to South Vegas”, which talks about where Sett is from, and “Break Out Date Cake” are energetic and head-knocking bangers.

Furthermore, the rapper has released numerous collaborations with Guwop and his fellow 1017 labelmates.

Hardrock Is “1of1” On His New Album

by

Obviously, there are so many artists and rappers that do not get to see the light of day for most music fans. But, a good deal of these underground gems are putting out some interesting and quality material. Today, we finally take a look at Hardrock, an eclectic rapper and singer from the South that has a fascinating skill set. He has put out a few projects since he started in 2021 and he just released his fifth called 1of1.

Hardrock definitely lives up to the title of this latest effort, attacking a wide range of atmospheric and cold productions. His voice is a blend of Future, Young Thug, and Playboi Carti, which makes for every track to be an unexpected journey. The opening cut “poet” is one that talks about where he’s come from and the way he approaches is like someone reading a poem with some gorgeous piano keys and string sections throughout backing his speech.

Jean Dawson Continues To Push Boundaries With “DESTRUCTION FOR DUMMIES, PT. 2 JEAN DAWSON AS “NIGHTMARE”

by

Up-and-coming alternative phenom Jean Dawson picks up right where he left off a year ago with CHAOS NOW*. The Californian is back on the scene with another refreshing set of tracks on a three-song EP called “DESTRUCTION FOR DUMMIES”, PT. 2 JEAN DAWSON AS “NIGHTMARE.” The title is almost as long as the run time of this latest effort with it being just under the nine-minute mark. “NO SCOPE,” “X-RAY,” and “VEXED” are the song titles and they all provide a unique listening experience. The instrumentals are fairly minimal and add to the tone of the project.

The mood is sad, lonely, despondent, but also very beautiful in an odd way. For example, on “X-RAY,” he uses clever wordplay to refer to him feeling invisible to other people, similar to how an X-ray is a hollow look at a human skeleton. “You think you see me? Really? / No one near me / Think you feel me? ([?] I know) Really? (All I know) / What’s the feeling? (How’s he knowin’?) Is it thrilling? (No).”

Jean Is A Budding Star

This, along with the rest of his musical catalog is an adventure that continues to evolve. Jean has not hit the mainstream, but for fans, it might be better for it. His unique approach is what makes him so intriguing and he has not even been around for too long. In an interview with Zane Lowe, he had this to say about his creative process, “I think I’m a product of indecision, and I love that.” He continues, “Trying to bridge that gap of understanding is something I’ve tried to do actively, but at the same time not having a science to it and not being afraid to fall on my face.”

What are your thoughts on the EP, “DESTRUCTION FOR DUMMIES”, PT. 2 JEAN DAWSON AS “NIGHTMARE,” from Jean Dawson? Is he one of the best experimental artists in the world right now?

Dro Kenji Comes Through With 17-Song Album “WISH YOU WERE HERE”

by

Dro Kenji has just released his eighth project of his early career, WISH YOU WERE HERE. His start in rap began around 2019 with his first single “Rokstarr.” Then, he began to gain some steam and got some notoriety from the record label Internet Money. The label liked what they heard from the youngster from Virginia and signed him. From there he went on to put out his first single under Internet Money with “100 Rounds.”

Now, he has eight projects under his belt in such a short span and his sound is very reminiscent of a few major voices. Two of the most recognizable are the late and great Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion. He appears to have a lot of influence on Kenji’s take on emo and trap rap, which is not bad by any means. Kenji definitely has all the tools to be another star in the space and this new album is a great listen.
