With the urge to make it to the top on any upcoming artists mind; RAH brings us "Fake Lover" a short track that brings to light the fake admiration that comes with the music game.
Produced by himself and Jersey producer Papo, the intrinsic beat over some quick rhymes makes us want a part 2 of the track. Listen below.
New track coming from Rah and New Jerseys own producer, Papo.
We will stay this over and OVER again, but CopyWrite will always respect the hustle of someone working.
This is why we bring you another track from Deonte "Weekend" Neely by the name of "Minimum" featuring is fellow grind-a-holic Nimbus Cool. The track produced by Weekend is also his first track off his upcoming project, Contemporary Art III.
With smooth vibes steady, listen to the track below and don't sleep on the team.
First single of 2016 from my upcoming project, "Contemporary Art III", featuring Nimbus Cool. Production handled by me. Mixed and Mastered by Pizzle.
You saw that right, Hamburger Helper dropped it's first rap album "Watch The Stove" and as the best April Fool's joke of them all; it's surprisingly fire.
With solid beats, clever wordplay and catchy hooks, the five-track album definitely is an eye-catching marketing stunt & though we wouldn't pick Hamburger Helper as a food brand to endorse or be associated with hip-hop or rap music; the album might make you rethink your next grocery trip.
Listen to the album below and if you haven't already listen to Lupe Fiasco's latest food related drop "Express" as Fiasco hops on Desiigner's "Panda" for hungry freestyle.
Hottest mixtape in the kitchens.
** WARNING - The artist we are about to introduce you to will make you want to stop everything you're doing**
Meet 21 year old singer/songwriter Penny Bridges from Wolverhampton, England.
Though she references herself as a new artist, (only releasing two songs on SoundCloud thus far) we're truly mesmerized by her angelic sounds. In her most recent track, "You Cry Yourself Away," the artist takes us back with some guitar and piano in the background showcasing her range of vocals and also her songwriting skills.
We can't wait to hear what's next from Penny.
Peep the track below and let us know what you think of this new artist.
Maybe it's the ego or just the pure energy, but listen to Chakara Blu's Flossy.
With a hypnotic beat on the background, Chakara gives a taste of what seems to be her zero non-sense rule when it comes to her life, relationships and music.
CopyWrite we'll be waiting for something with a little less ego but until then look at her floss.
Toronto producer, BLMN (Jahnoir Singh), murders this track, FTL.
From the incredible women vocalist on the hook, Milwaukee's own Pizzle slowing his raps down for the track or the saxophone interlude that will soothe anyone soul; we had to share the track.
Take a listen below and tell us your favorite Toronto artists you can't get enough of.
We might not be ready for his flow but he must have something in the cut waiting for us (Contemporary Art III, anyone?).
So peep the newest track from Weekend Neely with some slick rhymes over a jazzy beat produced by duo PoptartPete & Foisey.
Just something to hold off everyone till #ContemporaryArtIII Coming Soon.
Today, CopyWrite and the hip-hop world mourns the lost of a true icon.
Phife Dawg (born Malik Taylor) was a founding member of A Tribe Called Quest and died Tuesday at the age of 45 from complications resulting from diabetes. While multiple media outlets confirmed the rapper's death, Phife had health issues for years, undergoing a kidney transplant in 2008 to deal with a longtime battle with diabetes.
While in ATCQ, Phife appeared on all five of the group's studio albums, most notably 1991's The Low End Theory and 1993's Midnight Marauders, acting as the high-pitched, gruff vocal counterpoint to Q-Tip's smooth, mellow flow.
Rest peacefully, Phife Dawg.
& listen to some of CW's favorite songs from the legend below. #RespectTheLegendary
“Cause if I don’t say I’m the best, tell me who the hell will.”
A few weeks ago I was randomly at an event with my guy (somewhere I had no business being might I add, but yet and still I was there). This dude was passing out burnt CD’s, with Sharpie writing on them, but in a CD slip with the tracklist and cover art (idk how I felt about that, but I guess that's not the point). He handed one to both of us and said “Look bro, if you don't like what you hear by the first three songs throw it out the window.” That to me raised a red flag plus the harshly design cover art (#designerissues), I was definitely not going to waste my time. He of course had no idea who I was or what I do, I doubt anyone in that room did, hence a place i had no “business” being, but you never know where CopyWrite might show up. I took the CD and planned to dispose of it later but never did. It sat in the pocket of my passenger side door, till the other day I was driving back from Chicago and it just kept haunting my peripheral view. I reach for it and thought “Let me listen to it before I chuck it out the window.”
And guess what... it wasn't bad. For what it was, there was something there. I'm not sure what that something is, but I continued to listen pass the the 3rd song and let it play for a 2nd time. And within that evening I played it another 2 times trying to analyze what I was hearing. Enough that I think it's important to acknowledge. He took a risk handing out those CD’s. And I took a risk to listen. Maybe if we all take a few more risk we may find some pathways we have not yet explored. So check out Patski’s “DatRoof” demo and leave a comment and let us know what you think. We really want to know what's your perspective on this one.
And #WeSeeYou Patski, thanks for the CD!
