Jay Hvrt - “Whatever Happened To... Robot Jones” EP

“I hope you eatin’ good, but I ain't giving out the plates”  - ‘Robot Jones’

(Mannnnnnnnn…..listen!)

It’s a method to this madness and that madness is PRODUCTION! As we say around these ways, ‘Stop playin in people's faces’ and we put that line on anyone who is sleeping on Jay Hvrt. 

Re-branding himself from “Jay Yung” his 2020 EP “Whatever Happened To... Robot Jones” is a quick jump through the fire with some heavy bars, a swift but deep cadence and some production movement we are not sure how to describe yet. New sounds and no samples! Also produced 75% by Jay Hvrt himself. But its expected. We have not been the same until his project CLVRITY, came through.

Don’t worry Jay, we will be hitting you for your CopyWrite Magazine interview soon enough.

Now put this one on y’all playlist.

Happy New Year From Your /CW Fam!

BoFaat - Loyalty feat. Taiyamo Denku x RamBunxious x Sara Seashell

This song makes me wanna grab my bike and ride around listening to music like in the movie Dope. This song definitely gives me 90’s vibes, which has been an trending aesthetic in music lately, and I’m all here for it.

Biggie’s voice coos in the background throughout the song; while Taiyamo Denku delivers powerful metaphors that represent strength and power from the mindset of a man.

Then we get to Sara Seashell, who is singing the hook of the song. Very smooth voice almost gives me Emily King-ish vibes. I love when mellow flows are used with strong lyrics, the contrast it creates is always just so damn cool.

Last but not least we have the powerful outro flow from the artist by the name of RamBunxious.His words voice power, unity, and the strength that we have as people. Whenever there’s talk of unity, my ears are always listening, plus I can’t help but not wanna play this song next time when my family has a cookout. The whole song just screams ‘good vibes only’, and I’m definitely watching for more from these guys in the future.

Once again, we love to see it.

Sky Phreshh- Raised by Wolves

It’s the samples for me! 

Skyy Huncho recently released his album “Raised by Wolves.” The album includes seven diverse tracks with constant wordplay, flow and nostalgic samples. Two of my favorite song from Huncho’s latest work is “She-Wolf” and “Dead Press.” “She-Wolf” samples Teyanna Taylor’s “Gonna Love me” (which sampled The Delfonics’ “I gave to you”) and is about Huncho’s love for a girl, while trying to work on their relationship and build together. While “Dead Press” samples Nas’ Dead Presidents, the song’s honesty and tribute to Nas makes it amazing. The constant theme of wolves on the album cover, album title and track names is consistent and clever. 

Make sure you check Milwaukee’s very own, Skyy Preshh’s debut album!

Kaylon Raps - Feelings (feat. Lianna Dunae)

We all love a vibe, right? If so, you’ll want to check out Kaylon Raps’ latest single Feelings featuring Lianna Dunae.

Feelings is an easy listen that you can vibe to anywhere. Kaylon’s flow and use of wordplay takes the song to the next level. While Dunae’s soft and chill voice adds the perfect combination of rap and r&b. Kaylon has only released a few tracks so far and I’d say he’s off to a fantastic start.

Check out his latest singles on all major streaming platforms, you won’t regret it.

Cj Folds - Daddy’s Girl

Our first quarantine break this year really changed the lives for everyone, especially the parents of our youth. It’s been a challenge and it’s still an ongoing process. I really want to commend all the parents who have been juggling careers while still making sure their children are still receiving their education. I’ve seen a lot of y’all really step up, and from people like me who don’t have kids yet, I just want to say you are all appreciated. However, it’s not been easy for everyone, a lot of dad's weren’t given the opportunity to see their children during this time, and it has not always been by choice. There are many active father’s involved in their children’s lives, and if they genuinely want to raise these kids I think it’s unfair that bitter emotions can drive wedges between the relationships that are trying to be built. Some people have lost their father’s, and that type of pain never fully heals. I think that’s why I was able to vibe with this song from Cj Folds, Daddy’s Girl.

Cj Folds managed to create a hip-hop ballad showcasing the love and affection between father and daughter, and now the daughter’s father is no longer around. You hear the sadness in his voice as he describes the changes the daughter is going through since he is unable to be near her. She is his princess, and you can feel the pain he is experiencing. I know in times like these nobody wants to keep hearing about the negative sh*t going on, but with emotions like this we just simply ignore them.

Rap does not always have to be aggressive, and Cj Folds proves this with a soft song with a hard impact. From the catchy but heartbreaking chorus and the love language given in between the song’s metaphors, this song made me appreciate my own father more, and all that he has done for me since reaching adulthood. With the beautiful visual accompanied with this song, I can’t wait to hear more of what Cj Folds has in the future. Shout out to all the Dads out there who truly love those babies and R.I.P to the ones we’ve lost.

We love to see it.
