King Cezar - 'Its Better This Way' (Album Submission)

We have been waiting for you!

Where the hipster, conscious rappers, and overly thuggish have been poppin up at the social tempo of what Milwaukee music sounds like, there are other niche that we don't get enough submissions of and though they are not all our “stilo”, they are much needed give the full picture of what OUR music consist of.

With his debut album “It's Better This Way”, released on Kingz Circle Music Group, King Cezar is delivering trap vibes with wavy MKE undertones that are a fair reflection of new era hip-hop without the unnecessary obnoxious jack’n beats that have boxed in our greatness by  f*ck boys that can’t rap & are even worst at trapping (Yes, we said it but you were thinking it). *shrugs*

Out of the 9 track projects are favorite songs have to be ‘Broke Life’ (Prod. By Canis Major) & ‘Sometimes’ (Prod. By Big Joe) for the references and strategically choppy flows (in this case that's a good thing).

Our one criticism would be that their are not enough beat structure variety. Give us some dramatics, it will keep us focused!

This is a solid music submission and we can't wait to see how the city responds. Let us know if your vibing with it by hitting the heart below.

First Class Records (Scottie P & Skyy Phreshh ) - LANG (Video Submission)

It just got icy, swaggy & super fly in this biz-nitch! Scottie P & Skyy Phreshh are back at it!

First Class Records has released new visuals for their track ‘LÁNG’, the first single from their upcoming Project ‘Going Digital’. The energy, the composition, and stack of cash (stuntin’ are we?) are all pointing to a more bossed up, more “refined”, First Class Records, and we like it!

Add a little jig to your day and watch this video.

Saint Miguel - SNAKE (Video Submission)

“I really want to highlight the highly underrated side of Milwaukee music. While the (insert MKE rapper name here)  and (insert another MKE rapper name here) have their place, I believe Milwaukee has so much more to offer. . . ” - Saint Miguel

PAUSE.

This is shade my friends. . . But as we like to say when fugazi has its moment of relevancy, “ I’ll allow it.”

Why? Because that's why we have a blog at /CW, to challenge the norm and push multiple perspectives of Urban culture & talents.

But anyways, confident in his “more to offer” Saint Miguel has popped up with a video submission for his track ‘SNAKE’ of his recently released project 0730. Young, clever, with those purposefully underwhelming dramatics (that's definitely a thing in 2018, don't fight us on this), this visual is what Saint Miguel wants us to see as his first reach out to our audience.

Clap for’em!

Even if you did low-key downplay what is “representational” to poppin’ music coming out of Milwaukee, the shots fired got you noticed, so there is the #Win.

Word of advice, next time, leave the names out. The work will speak for its self.

Watch the video here, and let us know if you want to hear more from Saint Miguel.

Official Music Video for the song "SNAKE." If you didnt peep the message the snake is symbolized by the woman, and in the video she actually doesn't exist. Her lust for money however set the boys who were once friends all against each other. F O L L O W M E !!

Taiyamo Denku - Still Waiting (ft. Benny The Butcher)

What are we waiting for?

Definitely not consistency Lol.

Taiyamo Denku is back, AGAIN. With his track ‘Still Waiting’ featuring Benny The Butcher. Emcees have been at societies head since we can remember and this track is no exception. With a smooth piano sample and some shots fired at the lack thereof active progressive change, the track pushes the comfort limits of hesitation on the subject. With the classic Denku, original hip-hop sound, this track whether you like it or not is making some valid points, we all might need to address.

Drop your thoughts below, let's start the conversation.

/CW

After Working With Conway on his Initial Single for "No Industry Standard" Denku the Milwaukee Native Emcee was just getting started. On Still Waiting He Called Upon Griselda's newest Stand Out Emcee Benny The Butcher. Both Denku & Benny tell their sides of the changes they are still waiting for to happen. Benny almost does a continuation of his single "Changes" but adds even more Present information in his verse. Overall for the end of the album this song fits well to Conclude "No Industry Standard" You can get your copy here if you have not already. https://taiyamodenku.bandcamp.com/album/no-industry-standard

Lili K - Best Friend

Lili K is back!

Out here killing the game this, MKE native (who last time we checked was living in Chicago),  has been stepping into industry territory for quite some time now, and we have been watching to see what she really has up her sleeve.

From her project  ‘Planet of Flowers’ slated to release this fall, she has dropped a new single titled ‘Best Friend’. A soulful acoustic construct of good vibes, times that are missed, and longing realities. Touching close to home, this song about friendship creates a moment to just pause and take in where we are in life and where we are headed.

Her scatting, her delivery and of course her voice quality is a dream, as always. We can't wait to hear more.

So check out ‘Best Friend’ and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Jayne Joyce - Jayne (EP)

Ohhh Jayne! We have been waiting for you!

A breath of fresh air coming straight out of the “Dynasty” (insider) from the House of Renji. Jayne Joyce has released her debut EP, self-titled ‘Jayne”. This four-song project reflects a voice we have yet conquered in the 414 with, strategic collaborations, a feature at Summerfest during Genesis Renji’s set and a smooth execution she will be heard. Her soulful push between jazzy melodies, R&B textures and a spoken word like lyricism, ‘Jayne’ is “introspective”.

Our favorite track: ‘Knives’ because baby girl is cutting those undertones!

Go ahead and give a listen and let us know what you think.

We will say it now. . .We definitely want more Jayne Joyce!

(Available on all streaming platforms)

Joe Quinto - Rehab

“Sike I’ll see your ass in hell”

Ha! Well, tell us how you really feel. Joe Quinto a long time “fan and follower of CopyWrite” (Thank you Joe) has dropped a new song that is giving us nostalgic Gym Class Heroes vibes and witty formulation of destructive traits. His song titled ‘ Rehab’ is “a juxtaposed track that ties a correlation between being in a toxic relationship and the effects of addiction”.

Unlike Amy, Joe is begging to go to Rehab, to get a real fix. With a more upbeat tempo, it takes what could be a sobby scenario and turns it into a POP structured reality.

With a little bit of addiction in all of us, this might just be the tune for you.

Listen and comment below and let us know if ‘Rehab’ is really the place for Joe Quinto to be.

TrashMan Shunny - CULTURESHOCK (EP)

Seattle’s TrashMan Shunny, the newest member of the Hiii Tribe collective, is stepping in the ring these ways with his new EP ‘CULTURESHOCK’.

His team claims, “Throughout ‘CULTURESHOCK,’ you will find many catchy and charismatic phrases along with TrashMan Shunny's trademark use of Similes”.

 The playful, new era vibes of rap are lingering here. Life is not that serious and neither is this EP. The challenge is the movement of content, can you catch the vibe, do you hear the subtle undertones? Its something there. . . We are not usual ones to compare but we hear some unrefined Mac Miller in this style. Hmmmmm Okay.

Our favorite track: Everyday (Prod. Younng Poet)
