Mokofourloko releases smooth RnB/Trap song "Friends"
03 FebruaryUSA Blog Network
As Valentines Day nears, millions of us are trying to make things right with that special someone. For months the pain, heartbreak, and mistrust we have instilled in that person has festered uncontrollably, without any words to properly express it... until now. Now that we have a burgeoning, New York talent, Mokofourloko, blessing us with his new, sensuous single, “Friends”. Equal parts trap, and equal parts R&B, “Friends” verbalizes those exact feelings of remorse and romantic regret the millions of us could not. Across a lush, sparkling organ, heart-rending 808s, and a climatic, trap clap, our Jamaica Queens crooner unleashes a myriad of melodious bars detailing his own intimate downfall. An auto-tuned voice harmonizes with pitched up adlibs, easing Mokofourloko’s from a slow-burning, R&B jam, into picturesque, radio-worthy territory. “Friends” is written and constructed phenomenally; forwarding its own bounce, while retaining all of those heart-felt sentiments one would play it for; making it the ideal, Valentines Day banger. Not only will you reach an understanding with that special someone; but Mokofourloko’s passion, pain, and penitence, just might help you win them back. Give it a spin while love is still in the air.

Mad Man Smooth 'Doc Madnezz' New Album: “International Flight Plans”
03 FebruaryUSA Blog Network
Once again, Mad Man Smooth proves how ingenious and selfless he is with the art of making music. The rapper’s (who likewise goes by DocMadnezz) fourth album, “International Flight Plans”, was sonically designed by a bevy of global producers who sent him beat after beat as he was creating the project. The result is a 23-track, hour long LP that could not be more eye-opening to the talent our world has to offer. Within honoring the potential of international beat-makers, this Pomona creative still manages to cultivate a concise, West Coast sound. That feat, in and of itself, makes “International Flight Plans” mind-boggling. Tracks such as “Built A Lil Different”, “Follow My Lead”, “Aint Talkin’ 2 Me”, and many more, reserve a Californian groove about the rhythms within their instrumentals. Likewise, the synths and melodies pay homage to the G-Funk era of West Coast rap that undeniably birthed him. In tandem with this tethering, sonic theme, Mad Man Smooth also highlights the world’s musical palette with this album. There is an electronic/EDM air to “Do What U Came 2 Do”, “The Ceremony”, and “Instant Replay”; praising the European producers that undoubtedly contributed to the masterpiece. It goes without saying that DocMadnezz annihilated every beat thrown his way. No matter the instrumental; that toughened, West Coast flow is infallible, and matched with the features of frequent guests (Yoki Gold and Spyda Loc Da Real) and banger is always promised. “International Flight Plans” proves there is a creative dexterity within Mad Man Smooth’s artistry. Not only does he have an idiosyncratic way about making incredible music; the final product is always top notch. He is in rare form with this exclusively, 100% internationally-produced project; keeping us waiting with bated breath for his next, ground-breaking release.

Tanya Nolan releases insanely addictive RnB visuals “Love Ya” ft. Kirko Bangz (Music + Interview)
02 FebruaryUSA Blog Network
It is extremely rare to see veterans link up with up-and-comers; and even rarer that a radio-ready banger comes of that fateful encounter. For your freshest dose of rarity and originality, the lovely Tanya Nolan presents visuals of her Kirko Bangz-assisted hit, “Love Ya”. Clocking in just short of three minutes, this record is a relatable, emotive dive into R&B. However, its sonics are only half of the equation. The other half is fulfilled by pristine scenes of Tanya Nolan, characters, and Kirko Bangz himself. For every strike on an amorous, organ chord; every step of a trap kick, stuttering hi-hat, and snare’s fall, there is a breath-taking shot of the Texan songbird harmonizing through an aching heart. When Bangz enters the video, the Houston power reaches a climax; with the auto-tuned star crooning to and fro in the studio. Truly, “Love Ya” is a cottony, soul-stirring record; wherein, the romantic turmoils of a rising talent and established star combine to manifest a passionate smash. As Tanya Nolan’s first, prominent release of 2019? Her voice will be ringing throughout our minds for many months to come.

Checkout the dark lyricism and golden era hiphop on new album "Guerillaz" by Obi Khan
01 FebruaryUSA Blog Network
After his phenomenal showing in 2018 with the 16 track “THC-4” project, many would have thought there was no higher a zenith for Wisconsin emcee, Obi Khan, to ascend. Not only did he display a marvelous ear for boom-bap, Hip-Hop beats; but he likewise proved that he could lyrically ravage them for an hour long. Now, he has returned with another LP, “Guerillaz”; and for those of us who thought he could get no better, he impressively proves us wrong. Upping the ante with 8 tracks more than “THC-4” offered, Obi Khan reintroducing every aspect that made the previous project impeccable. Close collaborators, Jabba Tha Kut and Merc The Big Body Benz, frequent the record, as they did the last, with outstanding guest verses. Thanos Beats, a prominent architect of “THC-4” diabolical, old-school sound, restores that aesthetic with a plethora of instrumental offerings to “Guerillaz”. Yet, what rockets this album echelons above its predecessor is Obi Khan’s own vision, education, and execution of the art. You can tell the Madison rapper has delve even deeper into the craft and art of a Hip-Hop album, since his last release. A few skits and instrumental breaks in between jaw-dropping, Golden Era-styled records gives “Guerillaz” a sense of pace and proficiency. It removes the 24-track work from being another, standard Hip-Hop album, and truly gives it a life of its own. This amplifies the power of his dark lyricism, guttural delivery, and grimey, puristic beat selection we champion him for. Every second of “Guerillaz” is electrifying. When added to Obi Khan’s discography thus far, the glint of his crown as an heir to the underground, Hip-Hop throne becomes crazily undeniable.
