It’s one of life’s constant themes that change will eventually occur. People grow and as they do so we all look for ways to become improved versions of ourselves.

First Day Feature: Dolla Black dives deep into his “Still Black” EP
Life in general is hard but I think you will understand there is a very unique hardship when navigating the world of music. Everyone looks to “blow up” but the act is harder than the modern day success story would lead one to believe. Knowing that it takes a high level of commitment and passion…
First Day Feature: Curt talks latest single “Champagne & Songz”, using music to get out his thoughts and more
I have always been one to believe the best music is that which comes from the heart. We all go through things in our lives, so when an artist is able to convey their feelings no matter how sad they may be it can be infectious. We do often listen to music to get away…

Oakland-based rapper G2 recently returned to the music scene after some early successes inadvertently spurred him to reevaluate his intentions. “My music started to pick up speed, and I suddenly became more commercial than I planned to be.

One of the key parts of being a Hip-Hop fan is going at great lengths to debate the art itself. We’ve all had those discussions, whether it be centered around beef (Pusha T won btw), a top 5 list of the greats or who is currently the best rapper alive the arguments will forever continue….
Review: Yung Jewelz showcases her growth as an artist on “Earth Day”
It may not be the most common comparison, but Mother Earth and Hip-Hop are similar in quite a few ways. One of the most obvious ways as that no matter what else seems to happen to try to destroy it, it only continues to evolve, develop and move forward. That’s not to say it’s always…

First Day Feature: Big Tunk breaks down “Dreamz X Poetry” project, talks growing up in North Mississippi
One thing I love about Hip-Hop, more specifically that from Mississippi is the fact that good music can come from any place no matter how big or small. While Jackson is obviously the epicenter for talent here it in no way stands alone, good music is coming from everywhere including Calhoun City. There Big Tunk…
