It's no secret that A$AP is putting New York hip
hop back to where it rightfully belongs, the top. Already creating a huge buzz with tracks like "Purple Swag" and heavy-hitting "Peso" the NYC rapper is taking the game by storm. Rocky allegedly signed a $3 Million deal with SONY/RCA which will better his distribution, but Rocky has already shown that he can carry the weight of the whole A$AP crew, (Twelvyy, Ty, Ferg, Nast, Yams, and closely affiliated SpaceGhostPurrp) simply off of two mixtapes and a rarely visited Twitter page. Sit back, grab some Purrp, and enjoy the show.
Long. Live. A$AP
Hippie. Addict. Rapper. Rebel. These are just some of the words used to describe the CT native. After releasing the "Limos Were Cool In The 90's" mixtape series, Rich released the "Limosa Nostra" series which has cemented his spot in today's hip hop grind. While some people may think he's just a weed rapper, they obviously aren't listening. Granted, Rich's lyrics consist of mainly drug references, however, his messages and content make you feel like your going through a long and twisted journey with him! On his latest release, "500 Grams" Rich shows more of his range and lyricism. "Reckless/ Black Chevy f*ck a Lexus" epitomizes his lack of ambition to be a cookie-cutter mainstream dude, which doesn't make him any less dope! (Pun intended) Rich Hil's rebel style hip hop proves that Limos will still be cool for years to come.
Danny Brown is the weirdo of hip hop. His demeanor doesn't resemble your typical rapper. A real slim dude, with a high voice, and long-straight hair draped over his left eye. DO NOT let appearances fool you! Danny Brown is a beast! With only one tape release, "XXX" has been the best thing to come from detroit since Em and the Chrysler 300. It's nearly impossible to put him in a category. His music ranges from indie, to hardcore, and everything in between. "XXX" and "DNA" demonstrate his lyrical versatility, while "Die Like A Rockstar" makes you feel like you should be at a rave! Take Andre 3000 , Kurt Cobain, a hint of Wiz, with an Emo haircut, and you get Danny Brown. With his rock star image and grimy wordplay, Danny Brown is definitely imported from Detroit!
Swagger is defined as, "to walk or conduct oneself with insolent or arrogant air, to strut." It could also be defined as "Kid Named Breezy" Reppin VA, KNB is in a class of his own. Already dropping "Apolgies: The PreTape" and his full length "Snapback With A Life Full" The Kid is proving that swag and high fashion go well with dope lyrics. KNB pays homage to the old school with songs like "Nightmare On My Street"and "Eraser Heads House Party" while expanding the new age with "Cold Summer" "Whoa There" and "See About US" where the new comer holds his own with legend Pusha T! Kid Named Breezy is leading the new generation of MC's with his lyrical content and deep messages, and has the Snapback to match.
The Crown is OFFICIALLY unsafe! The Baltimore spitter has made that eminently clear as of late. The sharped tongue punchline rapper has been bodying ever track he's touched in the past year. His resume consist of "Shooter," "Worth The Wait," "The Louis Vuitton Gift Pack," and his most recent release, his proverbial warning to the rap game, "The Crown Ain't Safe." Like a majority of rappers, Los has remixed songs like Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" and Kreayshawn's internet smash "Gucci Gucci." What sets his remixes apart? Ridiculous word play. Every bar he raps makes you forget about the beat and focus on the content. Los's ability to rattle off most of the bangin women in Hollywood in the first verse of "Gucci Gucci" leaves me shaking my head every time. Los may be gunning for the crown, but it may already be his.
