Fee the Evolutionist ft. Reks - Gifted


























Fee The Evolutionist & REKS will release their new song “Gifted” ft. DJ Myth on all major digital music platforms along with an accompanying video directed by Myster DL of ill Mannered Films. Produced by Byron G, “Gifted” is a seamless fusion of old-school soul and new-school energy. The track features clever verses that pay homage to the culture both artists grew up loving and shaping. DJ Myth contributes sharp, nostalgic scratches that round out the soundscape, adding a classic element to the modern production. Fee and REKS deliver articulate flows with clarity and precision, making every bar count. Mixed by Sir Bob Nash at Wonka Sound, the track is sonically rich and deeply rooted in hip-hop tradition. From start to finish, “Gifted” commands attention with its head-nodding rhythm and lyrical substance, proving that thoughtful, conscious hip-hop continues to hold a powerful place in the genre.  The collaboration brings together two of the Merrimack Valley’s most respected lyricists—each with a distinct legacy. Fee is a recent winner of the New England Music Awards, while REKS (aka “Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme”) has been a prominent figure in the underground rap scene since the early 2000s. His discography includes critically acclaimed albums like The Greatest X (2016) and T.H.I.N.G.S. (2020), and he has collaborated with notable artists such as Styles P, Termanology and DJ Premier.
 

Str8 Trip ft. Halfcut - Since You Been Gone prod. by Grandon Beats


 























Canadian artists Str8 Trip and Halfcut join forces on their heartfelt new single “Since You Been Gone,” a moving tribute to their late friend, mentor and musical influence, KING (Danny King), who tragically passed away in 2015 from a brain tumor. KING played a pivotal role in shaping the early artistry of both Str8 Trip and Halfcut, serving as both an inspiration and a guiding hand in their musical development. With this release, the duo carry forward his legacy the same way he helped ignite theirs—through the power of music.
“Since You Been Gone” delivers a raw and emotional reflection on grief, loss, and memory. More than just a personal dedication, the track resonates with anyone who has ever lost someone close. The vulnerability and honesty embedded in the song offer listeners both a space for reflection and a reminder of the healing force that music can be.

Halfcut & Cole The God (aka Cutty & Cole) Drop Chilling New Single “Soul Ice” Featuring Daniel Son & Str8 Trip

After the buzz worthy video/single "Green Stacks," Canadian underground heavyweights Halfcut and Cole The God return with a powerful new single titled "Soul Ice", a gritty and atmospheric track featuring lyrical assassins Daniel Son and Str8 Trip. The track is a bold offering from the North, blending raw street poetry with glacial production that cuts deep. The visuals shot by Da Kid T (USOM Films) were filmed in the Canadian Rockies and offer the perfect companion to the song's frigid undertone. The soundscape by Cole is soaked in ominous, boom-bap textures that mirror the unforgiving cold of the Canadian streets. Halfcut delivers his signature sharp, unfiltered bars, while Daniel Son—one of the most respected emcees in the underground—slides through with calculated aggression. Rising spitter Str8 Trip adds fuel to the fire with a hungry and unrelenting verse, making this a true cipher of verbal warfare. "Soul Ice" is out now on all DSPs and is taken from their upcoming project "The Relentless Two" dropping everywhere 8/5/25.

Bugsy H. & Mephux - 90's In A Nutshell


 























Bugsy H. & Mephux Deliver Raw Nostalgia with New Album “90’s In A Nutshell” 

Boston Rap heavyweight Bugsy H. teams up with acclaimed producer Mephux to drop their highly anticipated joint album, "90’s In A Nutshell" — a gritty, unapologetic homage to the golden era of rap. The project doesn’t just nod to the 90’s — it lives in its DNA. "My block growing up was called "the nutshell," it was between two warring projects in the south end. So it [the title] was a play off that my block was the 290th block of Shawmut ave." says Bugsy H.  With razor-sharp lyricism, cinematic street tales and Mephux’s hard-hitting boom-bap soundscapes, "90’s In A Nutshell" feels like a time capsule cracked open, reimagined for today’s audience. It’s equal parts homage and evolution, blending raw authenticity with a modern edge. The chemistry between Bugsy H.’s commanding presence and Mephux’s unmistakable production creates a soundscape that is as nostalgic as it is necessary in today’s climate of disposable singles and fleeting trends.

90’s In A Nutshell is available now on all major streaming platforms.

LATE - "Five Windows" (EP) /High on Life (Produced by Tricksta) Official Music Video

 


LATE returns with Five Windows, a bold and introspective 5-track EP produced entirely by renowned beat-maker Tricksta.
Known for his gritty realism and no-frills lyricism, LATE once again proves why he remains a vital voice in UK hip-hop, delivering a project that’s both personal and universally resonant.
Each track on Five Windows serves as a different perspective, a “window” into a specific mindset, emotion, or moment.
The EP opens with “Generate Heat”, a powerful statement of intent. Over a pounding, cinematic beat, LATE sets the tone with fiery bars, reminding listeners he’s still burning with hunger and purpose.
“High on Life” shifts the energy with a more uplifting bounce, a track that celebrates perseverance, gratitude, and staying grounded despite the odds. It’s a moment of light in the midst of the EP’s raw honesty.
On “Movie Greats”, LATE draws parallels between iconic film characters and real-life struggles. With vivid storytelling and clever metaphors, he paints a picture of survival, ambition, and identity in a world that often blurs fact and fiction.
“No Compassion” brings the EP’s darkest and most uncompromising moment, a cold, street-smart reflection on loyalty, betrayal, and the hard lessons that come with staying real in a fake world.
Closing the project is “Chasing Everyone’s Dream”, a deeply personal and reflective track that questions society’s expectations, the music industry’s illusions, and the pressure to conform.
It’s LATE at his most vulnerable, but also his most powerful. Backed by Tricksta’s diverse, atmospheric production, Five Windows is a concise yet potent body of work that captures the essence of LATE’s journey, mindset, and message

Termanology, who delivers a fiery second verse, elevates “No Funny” from a track into a statement. The song taps into the cycles of hip hop and the lasting impact they have on today’s generation, offering a message of growth, awareness, and empowerment for the youth.

About uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney 'Monu-mEnTaL'  The long awaited follow-up by uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney to their critically acclaimed 2014 label debut, The Black Rose Certificate, is finally here!  This album is the undoing of the mind, the breaking down to be built-up again from scratch. It's said thoughts can become a very dangerous thing if left unguided, often leading us into a seemingly inescapable void, crippling the mind in the process. It takes deliberate, purposeful shifting through dedication and effort to rehabilitate back to form. This album is also a celebration of defying the odds, reaffirming one's identity through thought, action, and music as uMaNg conceptually & lyrcially goes IN as never before over B.B.Z Darney's lush, melodic, hot & cold, string-driven production.  The listening of this album is not only for the enjoyment of hip-hop, reminiscent of its golden age. But, also partaking in the experience of these respective artists audibly triumphing over obstacles, hurdles, and roadblocks that may attempt to derail them from their creative path. Thus, marking such an occasion as being something that can only be truly described as "Monu-mEnTaL"

LATE - The 9 Cobras of Wenlock City

 

LATE Unleashes Self-Produced Concept EP: The 9 Cobras of Wenlock City Step into the shadows of a city that never sleeps—because it’s never been found.

Visionary artist and producer LATE returns with a bold, genre-blending concept project: The 9 Cobras of Wenlock City. This 5-track self-produced EP invites listeners into an immersive sonic universe where mythology, martial arts, and mysticism collide in a hidden metropolis that exists beyond time—an ancient futuristic city protected by nine enigmatic ninjas who can shape-shift into cobra snakes.

With cinematic precision and a sharp lyrical edge, LATE constructs an atmosphere drenched in mystery, energy, and narrative cohesion. Each track acts as a chapter in the legend of Wenlock City, where soundscapes serve as a bridge between the past and the future.

Tracklist:
01. The 9 Cobras Of Wenlock City – The opening title track introduces the guardians of the city, setting the tone with ominous rhythms and a chant-like cadence that feels like an incantation.
02. Unlimited Potential – An anthem of self-mastery and inner growth, this track explores the mental discipline required to walk the path of the cobra warrior.
03. Shrouded In Mystery – With a hypnotic groove and layered production, this piece dives into the veiled nature of the city and its protectors.
04. Panoramic View – LATE zooms out for a wide-angle perspective on the realm, blending ambient textures with hard-hitting beats that reflect the city’s dual nature—serene yet deadly.
05. Ancient Futuristic – The finale, and sonic embodiment of the project’s core theme, merges traditional instruments with futuristic sound design, leaving listeners with the lingering magic of Wenlock City.

About uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney 'Monu-mEnTaL' 

The long awaited follow-up by uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney to their critically acclaimed 2014 label debut, The Black Rose Certificate, is finally here!  This album is the undoing of the mind, the breaking down to be built-up again from scratch. It's said thoughts can become a very dangerous thing if left unguided, often leading us into a seemingly inescapable void, crippling the mind in the process. It takes deliberate, purposeful shifting through dedication and effort to rehabilitate back to form.

This album is also a celebration of defying the odds, reaffirming one's identity through thought, action, and music as uMaNg conceptually & lyrcially goes IN as never before over B.B.Z Darney's lush, melodic, hot & cold, string-driven production.  The listening of this album is not only for the enjoyment of hip-hop, reminiscent of its golden age. But, also partaking in the experience of these respective artists audibly triumphing over obstacles, hurdles, and roadblocks that may attempt to derail them from their creative path. Thus, marking such an occasion as being something that can only be truly described as "Monu-mEnTaL"
