NAK & m_boogs are Limit Break – VIBE (prod. Babalu)

This is a much more fitting title for the duo than their previous name, Flowshinoya. Final Fantasy sure is influential these days. Limit Break’s mixtape is in the works.

Jonathan Lowell – SheepScapes

So the kid Jonathan Lowell had one hell of a year since we dropped Lightning. Production inquiries from all over the map & a healthy buzz was built by this upcoming producer in a very short amount of time. Unfortunately, Lowell will be putting the music on hold for a while, for education purposes. Before he took off, he left us yet another mixtape of various beats he made in the past year til now. Jonathan Lowell & Chuuwee’s mixtape Be Cool should be out very soon so keep a look out for that as well. And of course, expect a stronger Jonathan Lowell when he returns.

KENO & Rufio – Figure Four

Sactown’s KENO gets busy over a beat produced by Rufio, who recently got a ton of buzz for producing that “Real Hip Hop” joint featuring Chris Brown rapping on it (no comment. Beat was way nice though.). KENO & Rufio’s For Those Who Are Still Sleeping coming soon.

B.A.K.E.R. – The Story of A Lonely Boy Named Baker

Bullshit Always Kills Everything Real. B.A.K.E.R., DMV-based emcee presents a dive into the mind of a loner. Jazz piano samples all over this, perfectly suiting Baker’s bluesy sing song hooks & introspective verses. Dexter Fizz of KC.93 & Noraa make a few cameos. Add this to your winter playlist.

Randall Naadir – PBE (ft. Mark Pheonix) (prod. Jonathan Lowell)

Georgian Randall Naadir teams up with the Bronx’s Mark Pheonix over a Jonathan Lowell beat to wax tales of lost love. Both of these guys pretty much excel at these types of topics & this beat is one of those rare moments when Lowell switches up the beat several times for great effect.
