Last night, Phora (@PHORAONE) shutdown his Yours Truly store on Fairfax Avenue in LA to honor the release of his debut effort since splitting from Warner Records. Comprised of 16 cohesive tracks including standout singles "Forgive Me," "On My Way," and his Nipsey Hussle tribute "The Dream," Bury Me With Dead Roses is an audio coming of age story. Though Ecko and Mariah contribute guest vocals on "Te Necesito," in true Phora form the project is light on features yet heavy on content.
Phora on the album:
'Bury Me With Dead Roses' is an album about the beauty and pain of life, an album that I depict as the death of the old me and a transformation into a new me. The first half of the album is about motivation, love, life, and happiness while the second half is about pain, hurt, struggle, and loss. I feel like I'm always trapped between being happy or depressed, there's never any middle ground - so I choose to embrace that for this album. An album of my deepest fears and my highest people. I learned that you will lose your soul trying to satisfy someone else and you will lose your heart trying to meet their expectations. This album isn't for me, this album is for everyone. We all have demons, we all want to feel something, but change inspires change when we least expect it.

Michael Dean unleashes lyrical onslaught on new video "Strike"
20 JulyUSA Blog NetworkMichael Dean wastes zero time unleashing the dint of his skills upon us, with his vicious new cut, “Strike”. Much like the verb this song’s title references, over the aggressive stomp of 808s, chatter of hi-hats, and steady trap snares, our Orange County emcee lyrically lashes out. He is direct and dominant on this record; bending his bombing bars and unique flow to fit every bounce and pocket the beat conjures. This poised, indomitable energy translates tenfold into “Strike”’s visual, where Michael Dean can be seen striding confidently through various parts of a luxurious villa. Not once does his eyes, burning with an undeniable passion for rap, leave you. He stares unbreakably into the lens, as he spits his rhymes through the mix. Rhymes that, when matched with the rush of “Strike”’s instrumental, make it the show-stopping banger it is. California has always been a mecca of Hip-Hop, known for bringing legends and sub-genres into our ever-growing, musical culture. With this record, we know a future prince of the West Coast is just waiting to “Strike”. Waiting to make his mark on the legacy of his state.

Terock battles his “Demons” with inspiring new conscious banger
15 JulyUSA Blog NetworkDemons. We all fight them. Young or old, black or white; no matter who we are, or where we come from, each one of us can relate to this skirmish with the dark side. Forces that push us to do wrong, despite our hearts knowing what’s right. Of all of us, Terock may be the utmost familiar with this plight; and his poignant new banger, “Demons”, distinctly attests. Certainly, the darkness that this Florida rapper has faced throughout life has been unspeakably staggering; however, it is no match for the sparkling tines of this track’s melody. A brightness shines through “Demons”’s instrumentation, complimented by the bounce of 808s, kicks and trap snares. Brilliantly, Terock uses this canvas to paint a picture of his own internal strifes. His voice runs in broad, passionate strokes across the mix; confessing bravely to depression and suicidal thoughts that have plagued him longer than we will ever know. Nevertheless, even in the face of these hardships, this outstanding Southern emcee knows exactly who holds his key to victory: God. In that sense, “Demons” is a four-minute, modern-trap prayer to the Most High. One that expresses his regret for inviting the Devil into his life; and remembrance of God’s power to save him. It is a banger that carries its weight in spiritual gold; especially when you absorb every word he’s spoke.

Cam & Chris drops trill new single “I Love My Slab”
06 JulyUSA Blog NetworkA Southern classic for the modern-day— Cam & Chris’s “I Love My Slab” brings every bit of speaker-knocking intensity that you’d expect of a Longhorn anthem. The record is held together tightly by a syrupy soul sample. One that the series of 808s and trap drums behind it, serve well in elevating to a new level of Houston music. Heavily, the legacy of DJ Skrew is felt throughout the record; expressed the greatest in “I Love My Slab”’s pitched-down vocals. Cam’s trilled out, freestyled verses roll smoothly through this banger; signaling the ten-year stretch of this Texan honing his craft, finally paying off. For, he is churning out hits that his entire city and state can get behind. “I Love My Slab” swangs like the doors of the big-bodies it is devoted to; and treads just as nicely through your speakers of choice. With such a boisterous single, following the impressive debut of “I Done Came Down”, and a reported track on the way featuring YG; Cam has an undeniably impactful 2019 awaiting him. Press play, and get in tune with the next hitmaker of Houston, through the ethereal “I Love My Slab”.

Obi Khan releases grimey hiphop treasure trove on new album “Obi Files Vol 2”
05 JulyUSA Blog NetworkThe combination of Obi Khan and Thanos Beats has once again yielded greatness. Almost a year removed from the stellar offering, “THC-4”; and only months succeeding the Madison emcee’s January project, “Guerillaz”, are sixteen tracks certain to further perpetuate this duo’s underground legacy. Titled “The Obi Files: Volume II”; this long-player is as vicious and diabolical as boom-bap gets. Obi Khan’s signature, guttural inflection, laced with volcanic bars, is plentiful over a collection or Thanos Beats mixes and instrumentals. Emcees such as Thavid Ruffin, TG, Prince Po, and Thanos Beats himself (among others), appear frequently throughout the project; spicing up records such as, “Fallin’ Like Dominoes”, “Red Lights”, “Sybil”, “Flyin’ High”, and “Escapin’”. Highlighting these few songs is not a denial of the others lining this album, however. Every track on “The Obi Files: Volume Ii” is a brash declaration of Obi Khan’s evolving artistry. His beat selection is spine-chillingly evolving. His delivery, as well as lyricism, is sharpening into a clean-cutting sword; ready to carve his face into the Mount Rushmore of underground kings. With every project, Obi Khan hasn’t failed to amaze; and after “The Obi Files: Volume II” it is obvious he never will.
