Jabee - Letter 23

“In hindsight, brought a knife to a gunfight”. -Jabee

There is clarity in knowing your struggle and what battles have come with it. It is the growth that shows dominate over all else.  Jabee’s (Oklahoma bred artist) first release of 2018, "Letter 23" is perfectly plastered with punchy bars, strategic content, and a persuasive tone. produced by Trip G, “Letter 23”, comes off the starting block strong, making the 2:03 minute track an easy repeat.

Check it out and let us know what you think. (This just might be our Editor-in-Chief, Dirty’s favorite music submission this month).

Q the Sun - Psychic Spiral (Video)

Q the Sun, is opening our eyes with his video 'Psychic Spiral', laid with his zoned out production, artistry, and mystique. 

"The movement of the scenes is meant to emphasize the vibe and progression of the music. I didn’t have the intention of telling story per se, more so wanted to create something that would help the audience engage with the music more" - Q the Sun

Elevating what may be thought as Indian influences in hip-hop, he gives us an alternative appeal to the essence of music.

#WCW Ebony Haynes - Double Dutch to Dreams

My #WCW was picked for multiple reasons. The first being that she’s been popping up on my timeline a lot because she’s on the countdown to get married and I’m definitely a sucker for Black Love coming thru and shining. #Goals #LiveLoveLewis #SorryForBeingACreeper But aren’t they adorable?

When she’s not making me extremely happy for her happiness, Ebony Haynes is just an overall beautiful soul to be around. By day she’s a Program Manager at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee and by night, she founded and operates Double Dutch to Dreams. “A movement designed to inspire kids to be kids through the reinforcement of positive images, healthy fun activities and community building [with a] focus on life skills and personal values training.”

Ebony has “always been passionate about working with youth and over the past few years she realized the many disparities hindering their growth. She wanted to find a way to engage youth and young adults to help keep them active and growing to their best selves. Double Dutch was one of many ways she remembers having fun, being active and in the community growing and building with one another.”

I definitely was more of a turner but I definitely would step in the cords when I was feeling brave enough hahaa.

@amandaevans.photography

Overall, I can’t get enough of her positive energy, wisdom and the honest glow that radiates from this lady. She has a huge heart that literally shows by a simple conversation and we’re taking a second to appreciate it.  

Follow our #WCW on Instagram @ehayneslovely.

This music submission has that Travis Scott, “please get out of my face” vibe. Layered acoustics, playful production and a bit of ego, Ace Parker’s ‘Status’ ft PRZ Produced by Onlyxne, is on our list.  This “mystery” man, Ace didn't send in a bio with his submission...Sooooooo the fact that we actually took a listen is a blessing. Next time Ace Parker let us know who is sending the vibes. We might just want more.

Satori - Catphone

This time around we are going to let the submission speak for its self:

"Satori has been laying low following his Rolling Loud performance, but with summer only a few months away, the Milwaukee crooner is ready to get back on the hit-making train with more than just this surprise track. A collaboration with fellow MKE producer, LeanBeatz, was the perfect way to show fans what Satori has been cooking up in the past few months and gives us a taste of what to expect next. Be sure to cruise to this one on a late night drive..."

We have so many things to say (like but why Catphone though Satori...whyyyyy??? What is a Catphone? How do you call it? Is that just another way to say you got P*ssy on the line? We have questions! lol) but we want to hear what you think. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
