PMagnum: V/VII Based on a True Story

With the interesting graphic cover, V/VII Based on A True Story by PMagnum (Preston Magnum) is already demanding attention from everyone. A collection of great stories interpreted by jazzy hip-hop beats, this EP comprising of five tracks gets more emotional and enthralling from start to finish.

Poison IV: Fly Society

In this day and age where the feminine figure is starting to establish its roots on various branches of this male-fueled world, it’s refreshing to hear them flip conventions too; that, as beautifully executed by Poison IV. Megan Hamilton, who prefers to be called ‘Poison IV’, is not to one to get stuck on one genre. Despite a predominantly “hip-hop-ish” packaging, she transitions from one style to another as she pleases, not minding that she’s dipping into alternative pop, rap, and R&B as well.

Home Brew Crew: Taste Test

Home Brew Crew has earned a status as one of New Zealand’s best hip-hop acts, showcasing the funky experience with a garden-fresh tactic and comical fore.

Among their accolades is their self-entitled album, which won Best Urban/Hip-Hop Album at the New Zealand Music Awards.

The Wyld: Abstract EP

Stop whatever you’re doing and listen to The Wyld‘s Abstract EP released last October. The Wyld creates a new wave of sound by fusing opposing genres of hip-hop, ambient, and rock. This produces a body-shifting, almost spiritual music experience. With six tracks ready for download, this sampler is a great treat for those seeking a new kind of high.

Stewart Villain: No Manners

Stewart Villain’s fervent rap style is bursting with risky shifts and sharp metaphors untamed as a wild animal. Keeping No Manners appealing from the first to the last track is his lyrical adroitness. This clever rapper can spit words in a minute and can amazingly turn it into a musical masterwork. No Manners is a 12-track project full of hard-hitting beats and reckless lyricism.

Doctor Zoots: Dirty Work

Doctor Zoots presents his involvement toward a rising catalog of releases to come from the Antisocial Music label. Dirty Work is ironically one of those flawless and unified hip-hop album that the music industry has ever heard.

Friendzone: DX

DX by Friendzone is a hip-hop rnb EP that is confident, genius, and modern as any mainstream hip-hop being produced. The tag team James Laurence and Dylan Reznick claims that their EP is about the inner circle and not about a guy being “friendzoned”.
