Rah - Bankroll
/
Welcome back to another week of great music. This week, Rah is on our “rah-dar”. Get it? Not funny? Cool, cool. Anywho, here’s the word on the street about Rah. “Milwaukee/Jersey artist Rah comes back after a long hiatus this week with a hit, titled "Bankroll." This track is the one! Rah's full project is coming soon.”
In his song Bankroll, he’s talking about, you guessed it, money and lifestyle. Thinking ‘bout money, need them bankrolls. It’s a very catchy song with exaggerated lyrics, and I mean exaggerated in the sense of singing certain parts of the song. Which isn’t a bad thing considering that this form of rap is very popular. The song is a nice, short one to add to your library. Nice bass, check. Nice layers, check. Easy on the ears voice, check. What else do you need? Check out Bankroll by Rah on all your favorite platforms now!

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.

4Keys x Dell Fargo - Fo Piece: EP
/
This week we have yet another package deal to talk about. This week we have what we will call Milwaukee meeting D.C. Interesting? A liiiittle bit. So here’s the spiel:
“Milwaukee producer 4Keys teams up with Washington D.C. rapper Dell Fargo to release his first self-produced EP 'Fo Piece'. On this four-song project, Dell Fargo sets the tone for the new decade by delivering cocky and crafty bars over 4Keys dark and heavy 808 driven production. Fargo gives a perspective of an inner D.C. native who is confident in his raw and unfiltered rhymes in comparison to other artists. Keep your eye on what these two have in store for the upcoming year, but for now stream their new EP”
You know how sometimes things can just speak for themselves? This is one of those times. It’s a rather short EP, I honestly was expecting it to be a bit longer because of the amount of songs but aye… it works! Check them out and support a local producer--you have no choice. I think it’s cute that you thought you had a choice, LOL.
I’m kiddddding… but not really. Here’s their social media below and stream “Fo Piece” neeeeeow.

Rob Taylor - Actions Speak Louder
/
Today’s submission comes from Rob Taylor, who public called CopyWrite and other “local” media outlets out for not including his music on our platforms, claiming to have “over 60K REAL STREAMS in a year, performing at venues outside of Milwaukee and more things to come”. So we encouraged him to send his music over so we could take a listen.
Okay Rob, we are all ears.
His album Actions Speak Louder circa 2018, is an eleven-track playlist of what feels like intergalactic hip hop. Its mellow vibes, cross over with relatable topics, motivational “mantras” and new age flow. So what is the action? Maybe it's the action of putting in the work. Consistency? Skill? Persona? It’s all possible here. Dare we might say we hear a little Wiz Khalifa Kush & Orange Juice cadence???
Our favorite tracks are “Super Star” and “Elevators” for a few witty lines and some familiar sentiments. Now we won't lie when one song starts and the other ends is not easily cued, but maybe that’s the point for this project. Plus, he has something big he is working on for this year.
But forget about our opinion. Click play and let us know what you think? Do we need more Rob Taylor?
