Noochie “Confidence” ft. Rich Homie Quan

26 JanuaryTHE RETURN OF HIP HOP HENRY

The secret is out, and everybody in hip-hop nation knows: Washington, D.C. has got it going on. If you’re a fan of beats, rhymes, cultural ferment, and musical creativity, the country’s capital has become the place to be. Wale, GoldLink, Shy Glizzy, Chaz French, and other audacious new voices from D.C. have become national figures. To that list, go ahead and add another name: Noochie, an OY Music emcee whose scalding verses and deft wordplay have set the DMV (that’s shorthand for D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia) on fire. Recently signed to Atlantic Records and in current collaborations with Grammy Award-winning Producer, Om’Mas Keith, Noochie is about to sear his powerful lyrics into the national consciousness.

If you’re a fan of DMV hip-hop, you may know Noochie best for “Gutta”, a monstrous banger with a trap beat, an irresistible flow, and an uplifting message. That song first became a viral hit in 2016, and eighteen months after its release, it still hasn’t cooled down. It’s no exaggeration to say that after “Gutta”, Noochie had his whole city behind him. “Confidence,” his latest single, builds on the success of his prior singles and mixtapes, and extends their positive themes. Assisted by multiplatinum-selling Atlanta rapper and singer Rich Homie Quan, Noochie pays tribute to independent women and their drive to succeed – women who he admires for being “on that Michelle Obama s**t”. As always, his verses are playful, quick-witted, audacious, and delivered with absolute conviction.

We see some of those women in Alex Acosta’s colorful, empowering clip for “Confidence”: hairdressers and dancers, on the grind, doing what they can to get ahead in a man’s world. These are D.C. girls that Noochie and OY Music are showing us, and they radiate toughness and warmth in equal measure. OY Music has brought Noochie’s verses to life in video before – his clip for “One Day”, a collaboration with legendary Georgia vocalist Jazze Pha, gave viewers a glimpse of the troubled Barry Farm neighborhood on the Eastern bank of the Anacostia River. The video for “Confidence” shows off D.C., too, and takes a wider sweep; we see hardscrabble Lincoln Heights in the far northeast corner of the District, but we’re also brought to the National Mall, and the Stadium Club, one of the homes of Washington hip-hop. For Noochie, who shot part of the “Gutta” video at U Street landmark Ben’s Chili Bowl, it’s all an expression of regional pride. Currently he loves his city – and his city loves him right back.

2018 Chigo Ace Dallas

Michael Fang & Chigo Ace “Now”

16 JanuaryTHE RETURN OF HIP HOP HENRY

What can come of a few college kids heading on a road trip aside from long drives, fast food, and fond memories? How about an independent music and arts collective that sets out to revolutionize the hip-hop game? In the case of Chigo Ace, Michael Fang, and the rest of Third Force Collective, that’s exactly what happened. Chigo Ace and Michael Fang are gaining early traction for the group with their collaborative new hip-hop smash, “Now”.

Third Force Collective was conceived in Dallas, Texas by students of Texas Tech University. Like the rest of Third Force, now General Manager, Courney Harris was just you’re average student. He was in the backseat of a car traveling through the lone-star state when he heard a song and said, “Man, this is good…who is it?” His friends in the front couldn’t help but laugh as they answered, “It’s our first demo!” At that moment it became clear that they had something special right under their noses all along. With independent artists, Chigo Ace, Michael Fang, Li Blanc and Sunny jumping on board, Harris had a roster, and Third Force Collective was born.

Since their formation, Third Force has worked in collaboration with musicians, dancers, actors, and visual artists alike. Through the various art forms, there is a constant flow of energy they call the “Darc Wav” that keeps things consistent with the Third Force brand. Chigo Ace and Michael Fang represent the state of the Third Force union in their new single, “Now”. The song opens up with a signature Fang hook, easing us in right away with a smooth coat of autotune. Ace takes the reigns in the verses, delivering his lyrical swagger and intricate cadences with a confidence that makes it looks easy.

The “Now” music video opens with budding model/actress, Kylie Boyd luring us in, seductively singing Fang’s melody as he gets to work in the background. Fellow Texas Tech alumni and Filmmaker, Uzo follows the Third Force stars around their college town of Lubbock as they party the day away, refusing to concern themselves with anything but optimism. “Now” shows us that Chigo Ace, Michael Fang and Third Force Collective don’t need major labels to achieve success in this industry. With the power of the Darc Wav at their backs, this group of college friends are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the modern world of hip-hop.

2018 Five Drexler Florida

Five Drexler “You Are Mine” and “Smokers Section (Where It At)”

16 JanuaryTHE RETURN OF HIP HOP HENRY

Five Drexler is a Florida native ready to take the Rap game (industry?) by storm. His eclectic taste allows him to create hook-laden Rap hits time after time, constantly leaving fans wanting more. His two 2017 singles, “You Are Mine” and “Smokers Section (Where It At)”, are taking his (is taking his)influence to the next level with elevated songwriting and one liners that are impossible not to quote incessantly. (continuously)

The story of Five Drexler is that of a Hollywood drama. After a night of partying in the city of St. Petersburg, Florida. Drexler fell asleep in the backseat of the car when he and his crew were heading home. Drexler was awakened to the sound of screeching brakes and burning rubber when their car collided with another, killing multiple passengers in a gruesome and disturbing turn of events. This fateful night changed the rapper’s life forever.

In the wake of tragedy, Drexler made the decision to utilize his grief as fuel. After the accident, he began producing and started writing again. He decided to band together with other artists sharing similar ideals and (that were) striving for the same goal. With the help of Dangeruss and General Lee, The Treblemakers became the (budded) flower sprouting from the dark soil of his past. With newfound strength in numbers, The Treblemakers have enriched their individual and collective content to a world-class level.

In his own words, “You Are Mine” is a “twisted modern love story”. A man showing his feelings to a woman who is never there for him in return. With music and lyrics created by Five Drexler and the official video produced by David Rollins (Five Drexler) and Richard Usher from Treblemakers Studios,(.) this release is an(a) true show of force by the Treblemakers team. The “Smokers Section (Where It At)” video, just released in September,(and) is proving to be the perfect way to ride the new hype. The official video for this song follows Five Drexler on a mystical journey to track down his true love: The endlessly elusive Weed Fairy. The undeniable beauty of the fairy takes him to another plane of existence where the only truth is that he must follow her to the “Smokers Section”. Lucky for him, she knows “where it at”.
