EDM and Hip Hop Combine in Anisa Pashaj’s Viscerally Charged Second Single “Eyes”

Posted on 8 April 2020

Alt Hip Hop artist Anisa Pashaj has followed on from her unforgettable debut single “Ipray” with the equally as resounding single “Eyes”. The genre-mashing vocally-led urban mix is arrestive from the first note.

By using beats which would be just as at home in a Trance mix and a crystal clear production which gives Eyes a massive sound, the instrumentals alone are entrancing. But Eyes is all about the unapologetic attitude and candid lyricism.

While Anisa Pashaj’s debut single may have given us an idea of the extent of her dynamic vocal talent, Eyes is an arrestive testament to her ability to project sheer conviction through the lyrics which flow like spoken-word poetry.

There are very few up and coming artists putting out such connectable earworms, get her on your radar.

Defragz – Cold Winter featuring Messinian: Entrancingly Caustic EDM Trap

Posted on 4 April 2020

With Rap bars which make Xzibit sound positively harmonic and driving bass-soaked beats which will give your headphones a run for their money, Defragz latest track Cold Winter featuring Messinian is an intensely arrestive unmissable feat of EDM Trap.

Despite the fiercely pulsating infusion of bass, locking into the rhythm of this harsh caustic Dubstep track is all too easy. The entrancing mix hooks you in through a melodic Hip Hop prelude before amping up the insanity in this monster of a drop. From there on out, you’re at the mercy of Defragz’s devilish ingenuity.

Cold Winter may be a fairly savage mix, but Defragz infused plenty of euphoric connectable soul, and that’s just one of the alchemic ways he offered authenticity through this deftly polished track.

You can check out Defragz’s latest single which was released on March 20th through Bass Collective Records yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud.

Jam : Ali has dropped their latest EDM Hip Hop hit “Focus”

Posted on 22 March 2020

High-octane Hip Hop fans won’t want to miss out on the momentous standout single “Focus” from up and coming artist Jam : Ali.

We don’t often get to hear artists who can match the quick-fire lyrical pace of artists such as Eminem, Busta Rhymes and Twista. But when Focus reaches peak momentum, it’s impossible not to feel a surge of awe transpire as you drink in Jam : Ali’s ability to wax lyrical.

The progressive track winds down the tempo between the frantic bars allowing you to soak up the resonant and charismatic sentiment behind Focus; it’s an adrenalizing hit which demands repeat attention. With the production being as pioneering as it was polished, Jam : Ali is undoubtedly one to watch.

You can check out Focus for yourselves by heading over to Spotify.

MC! – HOW I REALLY FEEL: Infectiously Fresh Adrenalizing Hip Hop

Posted on 16 March 2020

US Alt Hip Hop artist MC! has dropped their most immersive track yet with “HOW I REALLY FEEL”. We don’t come across Rap earworms all too often, but with the not so subtle hooks and the adrenalizing vibe behind the mix, we’re sure you’ll find it as infectiously fresh as we did.

The volatile energy which feeds into the beats and the relentlessly paced Rap bars hook you in from the first verse. It comes as no surprise that HOW I REALLY FEEL is on the way to becoming a viral track after it was released in February 2020.

The grinding experimental EDM beats aren’t shy about bringing the bass. The stylistic instrumental storm may pull your mind away from the lyrics, but that’s all the more reason to give HOW I REALLY FEEL the repeat attention it deserves.

Cat Clark – Ghost: Authentically Atmospheric EDM Hip Hop

Posted on 14 March 2020

Since Cat Clark made her debut in 2017, she’s amassed an ardent following and plenty of hype around her sound. When you delve into her uniquely striking brand of Hip Hop, it’s easy to see why.

Cat Clark has recently released her ninth single “Ghost” which serves as the perfect introduction to her atmospherically moody take on Hip Hop which also borrows elements of Pop and Ambient Electronica. With a steady and effortlessly smooth Rap delivery combined with lyrics which unravel like spoken word poetry over intricately layered downtempo EDM Hip Hop beats, it’s hard not to get excited by Cat Clark’s potential.

In the overwhelming majority of HipHop tracks we hear, we hear replication and assimilation of former sounds. Yet, when it came to Cat Clark’s single Ghost, her evident lack of concern when it comes to genre constraints left us instantly enamoured.

DANNI VENDETTA – Nobody Around: Indulgently Nihilistic Trap

Posted on 29 February 2020

Earlier this month breaking Trap artist DANNI VENDETTA dropped a 30-second teaser of their upcoming single “Nobody Around”. Naturally, we’ve joined in on the hype around the hotly anticipated release which is due to drop soon.

The indulgently nihilistic tones in Nobody Around affirm that there are very few artists putting out such darkly experimental Trap on the airwaves. This definitely isn’t your average offering of dark or sad Trap. With the inventive use of the vocal reverb, DANNI VENDETTA ensured that his unfuckwithable lyrics were as ominous as possible and the beats were equally as abrasive.

You can check out the teaser from DANNI VENDETTA’s upcoming single Nobody Around for yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud.

You can also get an impression of what’s to come checking out their previously released mixes. His latest single YUdodat didn’t get over 40k streams in under a month on SoundCloud alone for no reason.

K!T – Leaving My Image: Reflectively Smooth Trap

Posted on 13 February 2020

You’ll often find Trap tracks which are full of self-aggrandized pretence which offers very little resonance for Trap fans to ingest. Which is why up and coming Rap artist K!T’s latest candid humility-soaked track “Leaving My Image” is more than worth two minutes of your time.

The duration may be short, but with the immersive, intricate, and spacey beats, you’ll find it all too easy to lock into the smooth flow of Leaving My Image which unravels under a polished production. It may be on the more ambient side of EDM Hip Hop, yet, with the lyrical weight which the mix contains, it’s still undoubtedly a hard-hitter.

You can check out Leaving My Image which was produced by Eddie for yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud now.

Kazuo – YABAI96: Darkly Caustic Alt Hip Hop

Posted on 13 February 2020

What Atari Teenage Riot is to EDM, up and coming Japanese Hip Hop artist Kazuo is to Hip Hop. Their latest track “YABAI69 which dropped in January is a juggernaut of an aural gem.

Explosive energy comes from both Kauzo’s high-octane adrenalized Rap delivery and the dark gritty beats which for the most part wouldn’t be out of place in a horror soundtrack. Hitting play on YABAI96 is a full-frontal experience which I’d recommend to any fans of Alt Hip Hop.

Of all the Hip Hop artists creating bitingly aggressive tracks, no artist quite does it with the same snaring conviction as Kazuo.

You can check out the official video to Kazuo’s latest single YABAI96 which premiered on January 27th via YouTube.

Loretta Mars – Levels: Fiercely Immersive Hip Hop

Posted on 12 February 2020

It was only a matter of time before up and coming Hip Hop artist Loretta Mars’ standout single “Levels” appeared on our radars. While not every Rap track will be able to lyrically grab your attention, Levels will get you by the scruff of the neck and ensure you follow the smooth but commanding flow right to the outro.

The lyrics in Levels were one thing, but the fierce and snappy electronic instrumentals make it all too easy to follow the pace of the arrestive track which stands as a testament to Loretta Mars’ expressive style.

Levels is packed with the personability and charisma which is rarely contained in Hip Hop. It’s going to be all too exciting to see what comes next from the Jackson, Mi-based artist.

You can check out the official music video to Loretta Mars’ single Level for yourselves via YouTube now.
