Coming out of Chester, PA, iLL WiLL is a 17 year old rapper with some serious potential. His newest track ‘Phobia’ showcases his sharp wordplay and smooth delivery over a boom-bap beat. His lyrics and maturity are well beyond his age, “The n*ggas got it all twisted, say they grinding but spend they whole life on Twitter, get an ounce then…

  One for the treble, two for the bass. For this week’s throwback we’re bringing you a track that flew well under the radar even though it was intended to be a radio smash.

Real life raps. On Tre’ Crowell’s Audiomack page, the track description reads “real life raps” and it couldn’t be more accurate. This young independent artist coming from Houston displays a great level of lyricism and depth in subject matter.

‘Hammertime’ is a fitting title for a song that is riddled with abundant gun clicks and trigger happy lyrics.

If you’re a fan of either genre or gritty music in general,…

Icekream‘s (half of SoundSnobz) new track ‘Listen’ is a must hear. Breaking through genre barriers, the track starts out with some jazzy brass. Shortly after Icekream brings in some wonky deep house bass lines and some scattered hi-hats. Things slow up as the sax takes centre stage for a mellow break. Just when you think it’s about to fade out, the…
