By LG |

Street_Light_Lowbudget_4-I_Jessel_Alejo_Jordan-front-large

 

Street Light has always had a flair for the dramatic and thematic. His latest offering is no slouch. Big and boisterous in it’s sound, and solid in it’s lyricism, “Press Start” is a mixtape that can win people even if they have never heard of Street Light. When the game is over however, will we want to play again?

ALBUM REVIEW: G-3 & AseBeatz “Fourth Season”
By LG |

G-3_FourthSeason

G-3 is an all star of sorts on our site. I don’t think anyone has released more music on the site than he has. This time, he has enlisted the help of producer AseBeatz to do a joint project that should be a great one to listen through. The project is pretty long, but G-3 usually knows hot to keep a listeners ear. It’s my understanding that this project is not a rap album per se. It’s a compilitaion of singers, male and female, along with some hip-hop mixed in. Should be interesting.

Jelani Carter is no stranger to our site. Matter of fact, he’s a huge supporter. So it comes as no surprise that he reached out to us to present his mixtape exclusively. The project features a couple of ambitious beats, and stretches Jelani’s abilities. The title implies a pretty cool theme. Here’s to hoping the body of work backs that up.

MIXTAPE REVIEW: Moses Stone “Resilient”
By LG |

I stopped watching “competition shows” at the wrong time it seems. Moses Stone, an alumni of NBC’s “The Voice”, is a great talent to watch and listen to. Armed with talent that well exceeds the limits of just being a rapper, Moses can grab your attention whether you’re looking at him or not. Even though he didn’t take it all in his season of The Voice, he promises that he’s still here.

MIXTAPE REVIEW: J-Dub “The Captain”
By LG |

If you’ve ever read a Captain America comic, you would know that he’s a rather complicated, albeit thoughtfully written character. He has a sense of duty that never dies, but in the end, he’s a guy that knows how to have fun. He isn’t stuffy like Superman. This probably stems from his history. He was given the privilege to be a superhero, he wasn’t born with it. J-Dub emulates this perfectly on “The Captain”. He spits with rhymes that have a purpose, even on beats that didn’t call for it.
