*Addendum*

I used to try and feature five songs/projects/artists a day and that’s not possible anymore.  First, let’s not kid ourselves, there simply is not that much dope dropping on a daily basis. I am not interested in being first to post a song.  I am interested in featuring the best of the best.  Secondly, this has always been a labor of love, and time is the most valuable commodity we all have.

So going forward I will host ten features from the week’s music every Saturday and Sunday.  I will not post during the week unless there is an absolute compulsion to do so.  I hope to provide the best reviews possible and focus my time and meager talent on those who truly deserve it.

With this new structure, I hope to better serve the Hip Hop Community and the artists that supply us with such great music.

You can email me your music submissions HERE

 

The main aim of this site is to promote independent hip hop artists and music and showcase some of the talent that is out there.   You will find the following:

  1. Reviews of hip hop releases both current and past that I find to be noteworthy and heads and tails above the rest.
  2. Singles from artists that have been filtered from the deluge of different online resources. I will NOT feature everything from everyone.  It defeats the purpose.
  3. I will highlight a certain artist’s discography from time to time to showcase that individual’s deserving body of work.
  4. Videos that are eye catching and have artistic merit will also make it on the website.

The bottom line is that this site will be dedicated to finding the music that differentiates itself from the rest of the pack to both give the artist greater exposure to a wider audience and in turn give the wider audience something that merits listening.

One.

    I’ve been slowly gaining attention locally in Houston for my music, and I feel I need to take extra steps towards bigger things. I’d appreciate if you could listen to the track and possibly share it on your site if you like it. It’s studio quality too. Please reply as soon as you read this. I wanna build a connection and we can help each other out. I have a street team/fanbase I can help promote you to.

  6. Lyrical is an up and coming Hip Hop artist out of North New Jersey who incorporates 90’s elements of hip hop with current elements of hip hop to create his own sound. As a result, a polished, unpredictable flow comes to the forefront. The name “Lyrical” was self given because of a choice to use more than simple, more complex rhyme schemes to say clever and prolific things. Lyrical then formed an entrepreneur collective called “Crown Life” to help release his music. With Lyrical’s biggest influences being Biggie, Tupac, Eminem, 50 cent & The Fugees; Lyrical brings you a project called “Do It Better [The Remix-tape]”. The mixtape includes a compilation of Lyrical’s favorite songs remixed. It is up to the listener to decide whether they think in fact, he “Did It Better” hence the mixtape’s title “Do It Better”

You captured exactly what that project was about. Would def like to build with you about your writing. Hit me up bookarmageddon@gmail.com .

    Peace,
