It’s the chop and screw that got us like “Ooooooookkkkkkayyyy”.
King Bravo is serving up some “down south” inspired bars with a head honcho motif with his single “Rollawood” from his project State of Mine. This track is appropriately placed between shit talking and posturing that flexes the ability to create sounds that make you want to reminisce.
Take a listen while you double cup Lol
Salute.

Where some shifts are gradual, the ones being advocated for now seem pertinent to existence. Who we are is no longer a categorical assignment but a statement of continuity into a new era. In this issue of CopyWrite Magazine, we pay homage to our past state of being [including vaulted interviews from before the pandemic & social uprising] but heavily focus on the culture, community, creativity that are currently taking form.

Man don’t you just love a nice little EP?
We do! This is our first submission from Justice Visie. A three track snack pack he calls Shame. It's a new age R&B. Laid with those pops of sexy sway and hip hop new.
Just enough to keep us waiting for more.
All that to say. . . we like it. That’s it. It’s good. No need for the extra flavorful words.
This can just play. So turn it on and vibe out!

You can hear the God in him and that is something to fear.
Elliott is introducing himself to the /CW audience base with an assertive project he calls Clarify and Grow. This project challenges the track to success. College, music, money, religion, love, dreams, and realities. What are the options? What will be the outcome? It is too early to say, but there is no doubt that he is willing to work for it.
A crips 9 tracks with nostalgic production woven masterfully through, Elliott’s bars are not meaningless. They are stroked with layered ideologies, swaying in a space we like to call the “introduction to adulthood”, and drenched in the aura of something heavy to provoke or to prove.
“I’m a God body. I’m only living for the ni**as that would die by me”.
Where do we draw the genre line? Listen….we draw it wherever it moves you. This could be R&B, Hip Hop, New Era Gospel. It is what it is. The lifestyle is not a monolith and that’s the stuff we rock with.
Our favorite tracks are “Late For Class”, “More and Less”, and “The World We Live In”.
So we are going to have to make at least one #CWApproved.
Keep on the lookout for this new talent. We expect to be seeing more from him.

Hip Hop is now global and so is the impact from its places of origin. Including NYC. around here we have our own method of doing things but one must be in tune with other spaces to survive the ride.
This video from Taiyamo Denku & Urban Legend, “Not From New York”, plays up on that logic. Classic hip hop flows, production and street vibes.
Your welcome!

See this one is clever. Even if we can't fully follow the vibes there are always some gems in there.
2Hi, is pressing some of those futuristic rap elements with his project Keys to Nexus. It’s man-ish but that’s not surprising. The key is who is pressing on the follow through with the imagery? Check some of the the track titles:

It’s robotic. It's strategic. It's the digital programming of the young mind and the over saturated digital world. Are we reading in too far? Tuh! Y’all not thinking deep enough.

What is this truth we seek and reality we live in?
Joe Quinto has dropped a new project called Blue Genes that has us questioning just that. From the mix of hip hop and folk music, the subtle grasping for a second wind in life's fight is present in a firm pollination of locality [it’s Wisconsin baby] and imagery.
“For many, it’s been a tough year to pinpoint exactly how we feel about our chaotic world right now. Joe Quinto is no exception. He’s had a difficult time expressing his inner turmoil of anxiety, uncertainty, and frustration. Even the simple tasks get exhausting. Blue Genes is about acknowledging those tribulations on one hand and working through them with the other.”
Our favorite track is definitely “Just Breathe” featuring Klassik, with its calming melody and reflection.
Is this one a knockout? We will let you decide this round.

Showing up with his video “Lottery”, Eddie Jame$ is showing us discreetly about that life.
Shiny coat and all [its a look], the visuals move natural to a track that has a nice little sway to it. A few punchlines, some ego, and some wit, it's catchy.
Eddie Jame$ is a wild card in the current MKE music scene. And you know what you do with a wild card right?
Keep it ready. You might even win the “Lottery”.

It’s Shun time! The moment, the movement, the method. . . We are betting on Mr. Millions.
No longer can we call this one a youngin’. With growth and experience laying down the bars, Shun Millions is still smooth rolling with those Northside MKE to Cali vibes. The clean production and atmospheric rap riffs create a moment. Is it freeze frame high vibes? Hazy elevation? Raindrops rolling down the window panes? Whatever the intention the execution is we cant turn it off.
Fav Track: “Time Up” [it's just the right one]
We have had the privilege of seeing Shun bloom as an artist and this project shows that our early predictions about his sound were right.
If you haven't been listening before, it's not too late. Clearly he has “More To Say”.

Artist/producer/songwriter HymnWho is setting us up with some futuristic layers of production, synthesizing, and hypnotic lyricism. This sound might have an industry name, but we don’t want to box it in.
Apophenia4000 is a six track EP. It is a clever standout from the confines that resound the moniker “Milwaukee Music”. It is either crazy or genius, but either way its something to talk about.
