Bowties & Applause (EP) - Tru Fam

This one surprised me right here. Now, don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't expect much from this EP. Not that Tru Fam are bad, because I loved what I heard on their track Rebound, but I just see a lot of artists put out one or two dope tracks, and then just kind of disappear, or release a really shitty mixtape. But, what I'm getting at is that Bowties and Applause is fantastic. Each track stands on it's own, but manages to maintain a consistent sound, which is great. Their flow is tight on each joint, and their rhymes are gorgeously strung together. The melodies, beats, and samples on all the tracks are amazing, as well as extremely catchy. Overall, a fantastic EP that you shouldn't sleep on. I can now say that I am officially a Tru Fam fan. Enjoy some of my favs, but then go grab the whole EP, and I know you won't be disappointed.

Somebody Told Me - EQ

Now this is sick. I don't know much about this guy, other than that he's an emerging artist out of Richmond VA, and his flow and lyricism are fantastic. This is a video that he just dropped for one of his older tracks "Somebody Told Me", but it's the first time I've heard it, so it's new to me. Overall, it's a dope track, and it's definitely going to make me keep an ear out for this guy, so watch for more from EQ in the future. Enjoy the track + video.

Pocket Full Of Dimes - Luke Christopher

Dope 'new' track from Luke Christopher. This is one that he dropped a couple days ago for his new series #MarvelousMonday. Pocket Full Of Dimes is actually an old track he wrote an produced when he was only 15, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. Anyway, check this one out for sure.

Love Poem - Kiddo

This is sick. Here is the latest drop from Kiddo, the dope artist out of NY. Love Poem is a dope showcase of Kiddo's flow and lyrical ability. I am seriously impressed with this one. I'm also extremely glad that I got sent an email about Kiddo, because otherwise, I would have never had the pleasure of hearing this gold. Check it out below.



I also realized, as I was writing this, that I never posted Kiddo's last drop. He released a dope remix of B.o.B and Wayne's track Strange Clouds, and wrecked it. Watch out for Kiddo, because he's got a dope sound. Enjoy the tracks.
