Ups and Downs: Mcubed makes everything rather clear on Who Am I

Posted on 4 January 2023

Sailing on flight mode and letting his crisp flow guide us into the dreamy clouds above, Mcubed avoids the fake glitz and shows us why the underground has the best music on Who Am I.

Mcubed aka Brandon Johnson is an Atlanta-based, Oklahoma-born indie hip hop artist who grew up rapping with his cousins and hasn’t looked back since.

”Filled with inspiration, he continues to intuitively come up with hooks to songs that he writes and records for the world to hear.” ~ Mcubed

Overflowing with confidence and soaked in a self-aware mentality, Mcubed is that electrifying ether through the speaker we all needed to sink deeply into. This is quality hip hop like it should be. There are smooth-as-ice bars here to keep even the most hardened rap cynic happy here.

Who Am I from Atlanta-based, Oklahoma-born indie hip hop artist Mcubed is a thunderous effort made with magnetic proportions many simply can’t comprehend. Laced in a firm fibre that has trigger-inducing raps to learn from, we find a terrific single which is sparked full of a track with excellent written all over it.

Tune into this fine new single on Spotify. See more on IG.

Yung Bleek rides in with the street-banger ‘Shit Real’ ft Fire

Posted on 13 October 2020

US rapper Yung Bleek rides in with the street-banger ‘Shit Real’ ft Fire and this heats up the music airwaves with a punchy beat and real lyrics.

Bryant Richard aka Yung Bleek is a young artist from the 9th ward in New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA. He is the youngest of 4 in a single family home with his mother. Growing up in New Orleans was rough and the streets taught him the game and how to survive. His life story is filled with sadness after he sadly lost his only brother Courtney at the age of 14. After he lost his brother, rapping became his safe heaven and a way to express his feelings. Since then, he’s been doing lots of rap collaborations with his cousin Fire with Murda Prince Productions and their music is making the streets notice.

There is a lot of street swag here, the beat is busty and moist, the raps are clearly portrayed and shines through the cracks. This is a new track that is a Hip Hop winner due to the smooth flows, these are top emcees in their prime that can only improve. This is a way into their life, things are hard out there but this is a song with a real punch. Yung Bleek rolls in with the street-banger ‘Shit Real’ ft Fire and this is a winner.
