Dubb Saq - Dubb is Down (EP Submission)

dubb1.jpg

If heartbreak produces this type of work, babyyyyyyy make it hurt! 

Dubb Saq is coming in strong with his EP Dubb is Down. Coming out of a heavy breakup, his music now seems matured and reflective. With a clean 5 tracks he stays on the topic [whoever ol’ girl is must be feeling ‘some type of way’]. It’s clean production. Melodic with cutting lyricism. Its fresh enough for the new era of synthesized hip hop listeners but still structured enough for the seasoned to ride the wave.

Our favorite track without a doubt is “i could never”, because real rap raw. . . WE COULD NEVER! And of course we will be adding it to our #CWApproved Spotify playlist.

When you need some music for the love-aftermath. . . This is the EP for the moment.

RAS - RAS I (EP)

From winning championships and ballin’ on y’all favs heads straight to the studio, Ras gives us a masterpiece of work with RAS I. If you’re new here, which you would have to be to not know who she is, Ras is a 22 year old female artist from our very own city (MKE) who has finished up playing Division 1 basketball just last Spring. This is the kicker though, just as she was a monster on the court, she’s delivering that same energy here with a new distinctive sound Milwaukee has yet to come across. Das talent, fr. 

Thot breaker’ is the opener and most popular song on the EP. It has a very complex beat with many layers of sound. It’s also very catchy and easily deserves mad airplay. This is definitely a song that you can vibe to, it’s a feel-good/talking shit song. First track in, Ras is already setting the tone for the whole EP.

EXOTIC’ starts off slow, drawing us in with gentle, sad piano chords which eventually leads to heavy bass play. I couldn’t help but notice how close her style resembles the talented Future. For example, it instantly made me think of a song like codeine crazy because…listen to the song and you’ll completely understand what I mean by that. If you like Future, you’ll definitely love Ras but don’t get it twisted, she doesn’t need high profile comparisons to get notoriety—she already has that. From the visuals to RAS’s unwavering voice, you have no choice but to connect to the song. Like previously stated, it does have more of a sad undertone but it works, I like it a lot. 

If I’m keeping it completely honest, dis the one. She really just set the bar—and she set it high as hell. Based off of this EP alone, Ras has already solidified her place in my every day music playlist (yours too). 

Y’all know what’s next, STREAM THIS SHIT. She even got you on the visuals for EXOTIC and TRACY. Look at God. But wait, there’s more, you can even stream her ono two different streaming platforms. WOW. She’s really making this easy for y’all. Stream her on Apple Music and Spotify, alllll detttt. CHECK HER OUT.

Adam Xander - Adam Xander (EP)

Somebody get this man a trophy!

Yall know Adam Xander, right? Also known as DJ Adomocity, who made an appearance on copywritemag.com as a guest writer last March? Yea, that guy!

Well he is checking in with another lane of creativity, with his EP ‘Adam Xander’. Adam is letting off some steam with his fearless bars about societal issues and personal redirection.

He uses clever undertones of “F*ck You”, shifts of “I got this” with a balance of ego, confidence, and challenge. It's a hard balance but he is definitely winning here!

Our favorite tracks are “Cat Calls” (single) (for its subject matter) and “Many Places” (for the production and flow). We respect the grind, the clear reflection on self truths and the vibe.

Check out this EP and let us know if your rocking with it.

Shle Berry - Tampons (EP)

shlr t.jpg

If you missed Shle at our media sponsored event Music On The BLT (Beerline Trail), you missed a good moment. But no worries, you can still dive into her summer mood with her EP, Tampons that was released this May. 

Tampons throws fist punching flows, with Shle’s unapologetic banter. 

Our favorite song off the project is definitely ‘Trix’ with lines like, “I went and built myself a thrown. Don't need a seat at the table.” and “Look the d*ck is overrated you can suck on these lips”. 

*Yeshhhhhhhh!*

Shle is for sure in her own lane when it comes to the music scene and we are just happy somebody has the “vag” big enough to stand on it.

Check out Tampons (EP) and let us know what you think.

“Delivering Flow and Rhymes, Oshi's Self- entitled EP plans to be a staple in Millennial Hip-Hop for Women. With snappy punchlines over electric and up tempo tunes, this project is sure to place her on your music radar.”

Women in Hip-Hop have definitely been showing up and showing out lately, which is why we were geeked to do this review on Oshi and her latest self-entitled EP. This four track tape has a nice range of tempos and beats that’ll fit every mood, and has a dope feature from Milwaukee’s very own Sharrod “Pizzle” Sloans. Our favorite song on the EP is “Different Way”, this track has a nice sexy vibe that you can play in your car on a late night drive and just chill. Ya might wanna add it to ya playlist!

The new ladies of rap have something to prove and you better believe they’re gonna prove it. They did not come to play... so fellas, do yourself a favor and work with them! There’s not enough credit going around when it comes to paying women their respects. I would also love to see more collaboration with other women working together. But, hopefully with this new overdue expansion of women hip-hop artists, we’ll see more collective projects!
