Dedicated to His Late Mother, the Upcoming Sophie’s Son Follows Up Last Year’s Irreverent Recess, Furthering the Rapper’s Distinctive Texas-Fried Style

Earlier This Month, OT Hosted Third Coast Bucking, a Successful Rodeo Event in the Houston Area, Featuring Special Guests Like Paul Wall, Country Singer Braxton Keith, RNB.FOEMOB, and More

Critical Praise:

“That Mexican OT is a consummate entertainer…he underscores how syncretic Texas music has always been, infusing traditions from both sides of the border with his own idiosyncrasies. The result is a brightly colored spectacle, a freestyle brawl of rap styles and regional flavors.” – Pitchfork

“That Mexican OT is having a moment…The 24-year-old from Bay City, Texas, is the latest regional Mexican performer to take over the hearts and minds of a music-loving world. But instead of corridos tumbados y bélicos or longing cumbias, Virgil Rene Gazca, better known as That Mexican OT (the OT stands for “Outta Texas”), is making waves in the world of third coast rap.” – Los Angeles Times

“That Mexican OT looks like a cowboy. But he sounds like a rap star.” – The Washington Post

“He’s got his fans hopped up on the same giddy multiculturalism as he is.” – The FADER

“OT’s creativity and style is introducing something truly unprecedented to the rap industry and the relatively smaller landscape of Latin rap.” – Houston Chronicle

“The Texas rapper is climbing the charts and bridging generational divides” – SPIN

“His deep bag of flows and lyrical creativity as well as his consistent musical output is impressive.”  – Lyrical Lemonade

“That Mexican OT’s Southern Trap Shines On ‘Lonestar Luchador’…OT (Outta Texas) delivers a charming Southern style partnered with his own Bay City flow that makes ‘Lonestar Luchador’ a must-listen.” – HotNewHipHop

The Background:

That Mexican OT is making sure Texas has a seat secured at the rap table. The Bay City, Texas rapper has burst onto the scene with his unique mix of exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw’s signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound.

He flaunts a sound that plays just as well globally as it does at the parking lot kickback. The Tejano rapper rose to fame off his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on “Johnny Dang” (300 Million+ Streams), which Pitchfork honored as one of the best 100 songs of 2023. He parlayed that success into his breakout mixtape Lonestar Luchador, which was heralded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, Passion Of The Weiss, and more.

Notching tens of millions of streams on hits such as “Hardest Ese Ever,” “Cowboy Killer,” and “Hit List” solidified him as one of the most exciting southern rappers on the come up. With his latest album, Texas Technician, That Mexican OT delivers on the fun and raucous sound that made him, while also showing off a meticulous desire to expand his range.

Rising Hitmaker Hurricane Wisdom Continues His Run With “Dangerous,” His Emotional New Single and Music Video

Watch HERE
Stream HERE

The “2026 Artist To Watch” (Spotify) Plans to Level Up This Year, Parlaying a Breakout ’25 Into More Charting Hits and YouTube Smashes

“Dangerous” Follows the YouTube Trending Songs “My Life” and “Over It,” and Continues Momentum From Billboard 200-Charting

Critical Praise:

“Wisdom, from Havana (a tiny suburb of Tallahassee), fuses the tropical bounce of Florida street rap with the tenderness in the ballads of Southern and Midwestern truth-tellers. And the instrumental—flickering percussion and scattered, Broward County steel drums, merged with slow-mo, almost G-funk synths—is both melancholic and upbeat at the same time. It’s all rounded out by Wisdom’s raspy melodies, as he seamlessly toggles between no-frills aggression and lilts that hit like a sunshower.” – Pitchfork

“The Havana native broke down the regional barriers of Tallahassee with the twitchy “Giannis” in August, which picked up momentum like the Milwaukee Bucks superstar on a fast break to close out 2024. Hurricane narrates his gritty come-up but also delivers witty one-liners making light of his situation. He compares guns to the size of Giannis Antentokounmpo and jokes about not being good at math, but keeping problem-solvers around – if you catch his drift.” – Billboard

“Hurricane Wisdom Is On His Way To Becoming Rap’s Next Breakout Act” – UPROXX

“Dedicated to cultivating music that aims to uplift and inspire, Wisdom crafts his music for survivors and for the downtrodden soldiers who are giving their all to overcome adversity.” – The Knockturnal

The Video:

Rapidly rising in the rap game with his plaintive melodies and deeply personal lyrics, Hurricane Wisdom is Florida’s new pain rap standard bearer. The 24-year-old artist continues his hot streak, sharing “Dangerous,” a wistful and entrancing new single. Layering mournful guitar lines over thudding 808s and skittering hi-hats, “Dangerous” provides Hurricane an opportunity to get in touch with his feelings, as he explores the Yin and Yang of rap stardom. He is living the life he dreamed of as a kid, but is feeling the added weight of responsibility of taking care of his family.

In the video, Hurricane tells the story of a family at the end of their rope: a mother who turns to selling pills to survive, and a son who only wants to escape. Hurricane acts as the story’s narrator, popping up on the TV screen and providing an example of an alternate life path for kids like the one in the video. “Dangerous” follows in the wake of “Over Now,” which has over 1.4 million views and 1.1 million Spotify streams in just two weeks, and currently sits at #60 on YouTube’s Top Music Videos chart, and the late 2025 “My Life” (2.2 million views), which peaked at #9 on YouTube’s Trending Chart for Music.

Hurricane Wisdom had an outstanding 2025, during which he established himself as one of rap music’s most-exciting rising stars. After elevating in Summer 2024 with “Giannis” (over 60 million streams across platforms), named one of the best songs of that year by Pitchfork, Hurricane boosted his profile with two high-quality projects in 2025. In February, Hurricane dropped Perfect Storm. Home to “Giannis” (Remix) ft. Polo G, and additional hits like “Drugs Callin” and “On God” ft. Raq Baby, Perfect Storm charted on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak).

During the summer, Hurricane tore up the scene with a series of singles, including  “Woosah” (which peaked at #9 for YouTube trending and #40 on the YouTube Top Music Video chart), “Afraid” (reached #12 on YouTube’s Trending Chart), “Powerhouse,” which Hurricane debuted on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon stream with On The Radar, reached the Top 10 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #89 on YouTube’s Music Video chart, and, “OT,” which reached the Top 5 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #86 on the YouTube Music Video Charts. Those singles and more appeared on Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain. More than a deluxe, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain brings 17 original songs, not yet collected on any project, landing multiple weeks on the Billboard 200 with a peak of #54, debuting in the Top Ten of Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart and at #16 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The success of Sorry 4 The Rain was driven by a high-wattage remix to Hurricane’s viral hit “Drugs Callin,” featuring Lil Baby. Updating Future’s classic “Perkys Callin'” for a new era, “Drugs Callin” racked up over 40 million streams across platforms, while the remix music video reached #1 on YouTube’s Trending Chart. Complex placed “Drugs Callin” (Remix) at #36 on their list of 2025’s 50 Best Songs, and at #23 on their list of 2025’s 30 Best Rap Songs. At the end of the year, Audiomack revealed that “Drugs Callin'” was the most-streamed rap song on the platform in 2025, with Hurricane’s “Need Me” following suit at #4.

When Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain made landfall, Hurricane Wisdom’s hotness became undeniable. He performed “Rich Dropout” as his Lyrical Lemonade’s Lunch Break Freestyle (1.8 million views), and most recently, made a standout appearance during On The Radar’s 2nd All-Star Cypher. The young rapper recently wrapped his “Perfect Storm: No Umbrellas Tour,” a headlining tour featuring several sold out dates.

Keeping the pressure on as he thunders his way into 2026, Hurricane Wisdom is ready to make a Category 5 impact on the industry. Don’t sleep…a storm is coming.

The Background:

Fusing expressive church vocals with themes of optimism and perseverance, Hurricane Wisdom makes songs for survivors — anthems that are as spiritual as they are heartfelt. A down-home storyteller, the Florida native serves up motivational soundtracks for everymen with dreams of sunnier days; his music gives them the resolve to get there. It’s an artistic approach as much as it is a mission, and it’s earned him a growing legion of fans, cosigns from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, and status as one of the most potent young voices in the South East. It’s a position he reinforces with “Hard Knock Life,” an engrossing rumination on the struggle of the hopeful underdogs. His blurry melodies spill out like teardrops even as his lyrics spell out danger. Through it all, he’s swirled themes of aspiration with tales of frayed friendships and other blockboy hazards while showcasing an inborn sincerity — and a heightened humanity — that connects soul to sound and listeners to love.

Since breaking out with “Granny’s Baby” in 2020, he’s cultivated a sizable buzz with projects like Hurricane Season (2021), State of Emergency (2022) and Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane (2023), with each new release earning more streams than the last. To date, he’s collaborated with the likes of NLE Choppa, SpottemGottem, NoCap, Luh Tyler and more as he’s proven his ability to infuse songs with empathy that soars above genres or classifications. Looking ahead, Hurricane wants to continue to be a voice for the people who don’t have one. The beats will change and his songwriting skills will grow, but it will all be rooted in a spirit of mutual understanding. “At the end of the day, I just try to make shit that people can relate to as humans,” he says. “We’re all human.”

Loe Shimmy Shares the Seductive New Single “No Mileage,” and Its Music Video

Watch the Video HERE
Stream HERE

The South Florida Breakout Star Starts the Road To His Next Project, Sharing His First New Single Since December’s Rockstar Junkie: after the party

Critical Praise:

2025 XXL Freshman

“24 Best Rap Albums of 2024…Shimmy’s druggy earworms and tropical two-step anthems are the gold standard of South Florida rap” – Pitchfork

“Capitalizing on his rising profile, Shimmy’s latest album is primed to bring his “groovy trap music” to a wider audience than ever before, and he’s making the most of the attention.” – The FADER

“Loe Shimmy Is Taking Over — On His Own Terms” – BET

“The raps feel like they’re coming at you from a distance, sent through the filters of his shades and the heady fog he’s living in. This is what world-building looks like.” – Passion of the Weiss

The Video:

Loe Shimmy is taking over the game with his smooth and seductive late night anthems. As he begins the road to his new project, Pretty Girlz Run The World, the Broward County artist shares “No Mileage,” a new narcotic ballad and his first new single of 2026. Swimming through liquid keys and sighing saxophones, Shimmy plays the role of a lothario, turning his charm up to 100 as he lists the ways he will make her dreams come true. Artfully filmed with grainy precision, the video takes Shimmy to L.A., where he romances a baddie on the Hills overlooking Downtown.

On March 22nd, Loe Shimmy performs a hometown show in Ft. Lauderdale, hosting Loe Shimmy and Friends at the city’s War Memorial Auditorium. Shimmy plans to bring special guests including BossMan Dlow, Sexyy Red, Hunxho, Rob49, YTB Fatt, and, perhaps, some surprise guests. Tickets for Loe Shimmy & Friends are available now HERE

“No Mileage” is the first song from the upcoming Pretty Girlz Run The World, and the first new release since he dropped Rockstar Junkie: after the party in late December. The expanded version of his acclaimed 2025 album, Rockstar Junkie, the deluxe edition adds 11 new songs including singles  “Jet 2 Holiday,” “Purple Magic,” “Baby Z,” “Crank Up Da Jet,” and “Lost & Found.” Originally released in July 2025, Rockstar Junkie is an immersive dive into Shimmy’s luxurious world, filled with hypnotic rap ballads and invigorating anthems. The album gave a home to “3am” ft. Don Toliver, which spent multiple weeks on YouTube’s music video chart (with over 14 million YouTube views since September) and more than 56 million Spotify streams to date. In November, “3am” reached #100 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the rising artist’s second appearance on the chart in two years. Both Rockstar Junkie and Rockstar Junkie: after the party are available on all platforms via Rebel/gamma.

Since emerging in Broward County earlier in the 2020s, Loe Shimmy has developed a reputation for being one of the most consistent and prolific rappers of his generation. The 26-year-old artist releases multiple projects per year, never running out of entrancing melodies or relatable lyrics. Fans revere Shimmy for his ability to channel his pain into compelling drama, delivering his stories in bite-sized anthems that equally befit late-night smoke sessions and top-down coastal drives. In 2024, Shimmy released three projects, Zombieland, Zombieland 2.0, his first album to chart on the Billboard 200, and Nardy World, the latter featuring “For Me” (Remix) ft. Brent Faiyaz, which has over 68 million Spotify streams and a GOLD certification from the RIAA. Recognized for his success and even greater potential, Loe Shimmy earned a spot on XXL’s 2025 Freshman List.

With his breakout 2025 in the rearview, Loe Shimmy looks to make things shake with the upcoming Pretty Girlz Run The World. Stay tuned for much more.

The Background:

In a crowded Florida Hip-Hop scene, Loe Shimmy has been putting on for his city while actively setting himself apart from his contemporaries through his strained delivery, charismatic raps, and expressive incorporation of melodies into his otherwise grimy sound. Coming off his breakthrough year in 2024—which included a tour alongside Sexyy Red and Hunxho, and wrapped with the release of his sixth album Nardy World and first  Billboard-charting single “For Me” (feat.Brent Faiyaz)—Shimmy has been continuing his hot streak.

His newest album, Rockstar Junkie, has been performing incredibly well, fueled in part by the growing buzz around the standout track “3am” featuring Don Toliver, which has gained serious traction online. With critical acclaim from major publications The FADER, Pitchfork, Passion of the Weiss, and others, Loe  Shimmy is in the midst of a major come-up. He was just named to XXL’s 2025 Freshman Class and is  actively transitioning from local star to global name—thanks to a truly singular sound that blends street-level urgency with emotional depth.

Luh Tyler Keeps His Hot Streak Going, Balling Out With his New Single “Kobe”

Watch the Video for “Kobe” at 2pm ET on Luh Tyler’s YouTube

Celebrating His 20th Birthday In Style, the Tallahassee Phenom Shares an Effortlessly Slinky New Banger, With A High-Rolling Music Video to Match

Critical Praise:

21 Under 21 – Billboard

“Luh Tyler…was 16 when a couple of breezy, punchline-fueled singles recorded directly into his iPhone suddenly made him the talk of Florida’s hip-hop scene.” – Pitchfork

“It feels like he’s spent his whole life speaking in punchlines, and now there just happens to be a beat.” – Pitchfork

“Luh Tyler Has a Flow That Is Wise Beyond His Years” – Rolling Stone

2023 XXL Freshman

“Luh Tyler Is The Coolest Teenager In Rap” – Stereogum

“The Most Exciting Young Rapper in Florida” – Complex

The Video:

A fixture in the rap game since he was 15, Luh Tyler is ready to glow up even further as he enters his twenties. The North Florida-born rap prodigy continues to shine, serving up “Kobe,” an effortlessly funky new single and music video. Produced by Venday, “Kobe” is blessed with a bounce that unites the sounds of the South and hte west coast, with an emphatic, moving bassline, twangy guitar scratches, and funky, tin-can 808 percussion. Tyler slides on the track with his drawly flow, stacking witty flexes in quick succession: “They couldn’t see I was a star, they musta had they eyes closed/I always been a hustler, never worked a 9-to-5, tho,” he spits. In the video, live on Tyler’s YouTube channel at 2pm ET, the man known as Mr. Skii stunts in his G-Wagon, before taking questions in a press conference like a star athlete, paying tribute to titular NBA star Kobe Bryant.

“Kobe” is Tyler’s second single of 2026, following the silky Valentine’s Day anthem, “My Boo.” Tyler is hard at work on his next project, following up last year’s Florida Boy mixtape. Look for the new project to hit this spring via Motion Music / Atlantic Music Group.

Born and raised in Tallahassee, FL, Luh Tyler took the rap game by storm as a teenager, stunning tastemakers and fans with his slippery flows and raspy-voiced witticisms. Only 16-years-old, Tyler earned plaudits from the likes of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork for his infectiously hard-hitting singles, like “Jayda Wayda,” “Law & Order,” and “Back Flippin’.” In 2023, Tyler released his debut album, My Vision, named one of the year’s best albums by UPROXX and Complex. The album welcomed guests like Lil Uzi Vert, Loe Shimmy, and BabyTron, generating over 100 million cross-platform streams, and cementing his spot on XXL’s 2023 Freshman List. Tyler followed-up My Vision with 2024’s Mr. Skii, home to hits like “First Show,” “Change My Wayz,” and “2 Slippery” ft. BossMan Dlow, and his headlining “Mr. Skii Tour.”

Luh Tyler dug deeper into his background on 2025’s Florida Boy mixtape, limiting the number of guests and focusing on widening his artistic and sonic palette, performing songs from the tape as a special guest on A Boogie’s worldwide “Better Off Alone Tour.” Billboard rewarded Tyler’s hard work by naming him one of 2025’s 21 Under 21.

Now 20-years-old as he enters a new phase of his career, Luh Tyler is looking to elevate his game, with his sights set on joining the rap game A-list. Stay tuned for much more, as the Florida rapper prepares to launch his smooth stylings to the mainstream

The Background:

Wielding a wavy flow, irresistible melodies, and inventive dynamics, Luh Tyler animates bouncy anthems with undeniable unpredictability. He switches lanes seamlessly between his signature laidback cadence and airy high register, touting a style all his own. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a vibrant voice out of his native Tallahassee, FL, all before the age of 16. Inspired by local favorites Wizz Havin, Trapland Pat, L.O.E. Shimmy, and more, he started to upload music of his own. Following “5 On It Freestyle,” he gained traction with “Jayda Wayda.” Meanwhile, “Law & Order” posted up over 3.9M YouTube views. Pitchfork hailed “I Gotta Slide” among “The Ones” and professed, “I particularly like moments when his voice cracks or sounds dry; it makes lines stick in your mind.”

During late 2022, Tyler popped off with “Back Flippin,” now with over 43M Spotify streams and an official music video boasting over 13M YouTube views. In 2023, Tyler released his debut mixtape, My Vision, which debuted #2 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart and was praised by the likes of Billboard, Complex, and Pitchfork, which declared him “The Coolest 16-Year-Old Rapper in America,” adding, “The trippy rhythm paired with his cloud of punchlines delivered in that middle-aged cigarette smoker voice makes doing absolutely nothing sound cool as shit. You don’t need to be a teenager to get behind that.”

Having landed among the 2023 XXL Freshman Class and been named to Billboard’s “21 Under 21” list, 2024 saw the arrival of Tyler’s Atlantic Records debut album, Mr. Skii, highlighted by such singles as “Mr. Skii,” “2 Slippery (Feat. BossMan Dlow),” “TH2DH,” and “Young N****a,” alongside features from Kodak Black, BLP Kosher, Veeze, and Trapland Pat. Tyler marked the album’s arrival with The Mr. Skii Tour – his biggest North American headline tour to date – as well as a special guest run on A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s epic Better Off Alone Tour that included performances at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum, Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre,  and New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden. In 2025, with the release of Florida Boy and accolades including Billboard’s 2025 “21 Under 21” list, Tyler continued his momentum, and looks to make a major impact in 2026.

The Background:

About the Almanac of Rap:

The Almanac of Rap is a weekly show hosted by Donwill that examines the origins of specific trends in hip hop and their impact over time and it’s way more fun than that description makes it sound. Each week, Donwill asks a question, presents a theory, and finds a guest to come to some sort of consensus about it. Simply put, it’s a show about rap by a rapper who loves rap music.

About Donwill:
Pulling from the crates of the blog era and the extremely online, Donwill is a certified rap encyclopedia — err, rather, a rap almanac. So then, it’s only right he’s the host of Almanac of Rap, a Webby Award-winning Okayplayer-produced series that combines the smartest, If You Know You Know™ rap conversations with deep-in-the-weeds fandom and sharp satirical humor. It’s all curated by Donwill, a former blogger who’s traded book recommendations with Lupe Fiasco and rapped with Drake as a member of the duo Tanya Morgan. If he’s not the most interesting rapper alive, he could do a hell of an interview with them. In an age of less-than-ethical streamers and scandal-chasing “interviewers,” Donwill employs a workmanlike approach to the art of journalism, taking at least a week to research each episode of his show. It’s appreciation as much as attention to craft. It’s also why his podcast stands as a show by and for the culture. And that’s probably because it is the culture. More specifically speaking, Donwill is the culture. Having written for The Village Voice as a reporter, traded bars with Drake, and interviewed rap titans like Lupe Fiasco, Donwill is the coach, the player, and the opponent — the journalist and the source. In other words, he’s the rapper-turned-podcaster we deserve.

Milwaukee Riser 414JungleBaby Shares “BANG” From Her Upcoming Debut EP, To Be Released This Spring via 300 Ent.

The Openly Queer Rapper’s Combination of Sticky Melodies and Gritty Street Stories Earned Her Co-Signs From Her City’s Stalwarts Like Chicken P and SME TaxFree

The Video:

Putting a melodic spin on her city’s trademark rap sound, 414JungleBaby is ready to let the rest of the world know what Milwaukee already does: that she is next up. The young rapper kicks off what is going to be a busy year with “BANG,” her new video and single. “BANG” stacks jungle’s chirruping melodies atop racing piano arpeggios, as she gets faded and challenges any comers with an audible air of confidence. In the video, Jungle becomes one with nature as she stalks the bare forest outside of her hometown. “BANG” is the first release from Jungle’s forthcoming debut EP, to be released this spring by 300 Ent.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, 414JungleBaby grew up immersed in her city’s distinctive and bustling rap scene. Since she was a child, has been making headlines for being unapologetically herself: she made national news in first-grade when a teacher cut off one of her braids in class. Instead of being humiliated, Jungle used that moment as motivation, vowing to never betray her authentic self and express that self through her music. Growing up in Milwaukee’s streets, Jungle grew a hard shell, and music was the outlet she used to let her true feelings out. The openly lesbian set herself apart in the scene with her expressive melodies, which allow her to float atop her city’s trademark snares with style and grace.

Jungle’s distinctive aesthetic has caught the ears of some of Milwaukee’s brightest lights, who have given her their enthusiastic co-sign. She teamed up with SME TaxFree on aspirational local hit “I’m Speeding,” recruited local legend Chicken P for the down-and-dirty single “Blood On My Socks,” and connected with fellow MIL riser Ricch Millie for “Deja Vu,” which became her biggest YouTube hit with over 730k views. Jungle closed 2025 on a hot streak, releasing energetic singles “Hit The Ground” and “Any Day Now.”

Her debut project on the way, 414JungleBaby plans to elevate her station in 2026. With her history of defying the odds, it would be unwise to bet against her.

1 Umbrella Continues Its Run as the Bay Area’s Favorite Supergroup with “One Of Those,” Their New Video

The New Group, Featuring Three SF Emcees, Lil Bean, ZayBang & Lil Yee and Two Oakland Rappers, ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim, Just Dropped Their Debut Album via EMPIRE

Produced by Reece Beats, “One Of Those” is a Highlight From the NorCal Fab Five’s New Album, 1 Umbrella, a 15-Track Heater With Guest Spots From Larry June, DaBoii, Rexx Life Raj, and More

Critical Praise:

“We here at POW are absolute suckers for a good crew cut, and this one checks every box. Staying in the Bay, anchored by a Keak Da Sneak sample, the record assembles six rappers with shared geography but wildly different approaches, all tearing through a beat built on creeping bells and forward motion. The energy feels jet-fueled, verses piling up with barely a pause to breathe.” – Passion of the Weiss

The Video:

Since forming like Voltron earlier this year, 1 Umbrella has embraced their status as ambassadors for Bay Area culture. Fresh off making their presence felt at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara and the NBA All-Star Game in L.A., the collective of ALLBLACK, Lil Bean, 22nd Jim, ZayBang & Lil Yee come through with “One Of Those,” their latest music video. Produced by Bay Area sound architect Reece Beats, “One Of Those” is a breezy and soulful banger, lifted by triumphant horns and tin can percussion. The song features contributions from four of the collective’s five members, with cucumber cool verses by ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim balancing out emotional melodies from Lil Yee and Lil Bean. In the video, the group kicks back in EMPIRE’s San Francisco studio, where they smoke up, play dominoes, and watch the Warriors on TV. “One Of Those” features prominently in 1 Umbrella’s new vlog, in which they show the world how to properly spend a day in San Francisco.

“One Of Those” is a sparkling highlight from the group’s debut album, 1 Umbrella,, which they dropped earlier this month, earning critical praise from Earmilk and peaking at #24 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop Albums chart over its debut weekend. All five 1 Umbrella rappers are among the most respected artists in the Bay, with long track records of success and a history of fiery collaborations. ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim hail from the same neighborhood in Oakland, while ZayBang, Lil Bean, and Lil Yee hail from across the bridge, in San Francisco, a city with a rich, if less-heralded, hip-hop history than its East Bay cousin. Spanning 15 tracks, the album gets its bounce from the five emcees’ electric chemistry, featuring all five rappers in various combinations, including true posse cuts like “CODE,” “The Blueprint” ft. DaBoii, and the Passion of the Weiss-praised “Baller Blockin.”

The group welcomes guests from across the region, including SF’s Larry June, Vallejo’s DaBoii (formerly of SOB x RBE), Berkeley-born melodic mastermind Rexx Life Raj, and East Oakland storyteller 1100 Himself. Featuring additional guest appearances from Lingo and Dooder, and production from Bay Area sound architects like Brutal Money, Reece Beats, EazyDrez, DrinkJuice, B’Lon, and DJ Idea, 1 Umbrella is available on all platforms via EMPIRE.

1 Umbrella’s album arrived just in time for the worlds of music and sports to converge on California, with the Super Bowl in Santa Clara and the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. The 1 Umbrella rappers were outside during both weekends, sitting courtside at a Golden State Warriors game during Super Bowl weekend, then jetting to Los Angeles to film a music video for album highlight “Off Top” with Larry June. The group hosted a meet-and-greet at EMPIRE’s HQ in San Francisco, and launched a special pop-up on Montgomery Street during the album’s release weekend. The group recently discussed their mission on an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game and performed highlights from the new album with a live band on Yerr On The Street.

1 Umbrella has released their debut album, but they are far from finished. Keep an eye on the new group as they look to make the most of a big moment for Bay Area rap music.

Luhh Dyl Keeps His Hot Streak Going With the Helluva-Produced “Rollin With Me“

The 21-Year-Old Detroit Native Doubles Up, Officially Releasing His Recent Freestyle “Put It On Somebody” to All Platforms

Following Up His Pitchfork-Acclaimed 2025 Album Hear My Cry and His Recent Single With NoCap, Luhh Dyl Looks to Elevate His Artistry and Make A Massive Impact This Year

Critical Praise:

“2026 Rapper To Watch: Luhh Dyl makes rap music that’s deeply emotive, introspective, and increasingly spiritual,” and that Hear My Cry “stands out for how locked in he is on confronting his inner demons and imagining what it means to emerge from the darkness.” – Complex

“Somewhere between “Ski” and collabs with Veeze and Tee Grizzley, Dyl’s raps went from good to locked in.” – The FADER

“There’s just something about the slurry, slightly behind-the-beat delivery of newcomers like Dyl and Veeze that makes them very appealing and easy to listen to.” – UPROXX

“Luhh Dyl wants to keep you guessing. Poised to be the next big thing out of his city, the 21-year-old Detroit native has cultivated a devoted online fanbase, constantly re-defining himself, and his sound.” – Fox 2 Detroit

The Song + Video:

Making waves with his unique take on his hometown sound, Detroit Luhh Dyl is a rapper’s rapper. Today, the young artist releases the new single “Rollin With Me,” along with its music video. An introspective and propulsive anthem, “Rollin With Me” connects Luhh Dyl with Detroit sound architect Helluva, known for his production on some of the city’s biggest hits in recent years (including Tee Grizzly’s “First Day Out” and Big Sean’s “Friday Night Cypher”). The decorated producer meets Dyl in his own sonic world, layering acoustic guitars and ethereal vocal samples over his his usual speaker-knocking percussion. The young artist enters a flow state, spitting double-time between Helluva’s riffs and snare hits, as he mixes in youthful flexes with beyond-his-age bars about caring for his niece while his brother is overseas in the Marines. In the video, Dyl travels to Miami, where the introverted artist makes a rare appearance at the club, shows off his stepback jumper, and performs for adoring fans.

Recently introduced as a freestyle on Off The Ramp, Dyl’s “Put It On Somebody” finds the young rapper delivering lightning-quick bars over a contemplative instrumental, complete with spindly guitars and skittering hi-hats. “Put It On Somebody” indulges Dyl’s irreverent side, as he ignores his momma’s advice about “hanging with thugs” and recklessly driving foreign cars. The Off The Ramp video showcases Dyl’s effortlessly fly fashion sense, as he rocks ski goggles and two pairs of jeans, acting out his lyrics with aplomb.

Dyl’s release follows January’s drop of “Still Having Problems,” a collaboration with NoCap. Earlier in the year, Complex named the young rising star one of the Rappers To Watch in 2026.

Luhh Dyl is working hard on the follow-up to Hear My Cry, his October 2025 album, anointed by Pitchfork as one of the Best Rap Albums of 2025. Avoiding the rattling bass and dramatic keyboard arpeggios that have become Detroit’s sonic hallmark, the young rapper develops his own sound on the new album, working with producers like A-Lau, 4head, TurnMeUpMarr, and Audiojacc, weaving in unexpected samples, including samples of songs by artists like John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Kid Cudi, and Pinegrove, and gentle acoustic guitars to mirror his contemplative rhymes.

A resilient and redemptive album, Hear My Cry is home to Luhh Dyl’s acclaimed singles, like the Kid Cudi flip “Nite N Day” ft. Flint’s Babyfxce E and Detroit’s 1Up Tee the Pinegrove-sampling “Holdin Back,” “Wish You Could,” a contemplative anthem that earned acclaim from Clash Magazine, “Wouldn’t Believe,” his collaboration with Lil Tony Official which became Dyl’s first track to cross 1 million views, and was named one of the Best Rap Songs of May 2025 by The FADER.

Hear My Cry was Dyl’s second full-length of 2025, following January’s  Intrude, which has generated over 35 million streams. The album featured guest appearance from Detroit heroes like Tee Grizzley, Veeze, and Sada Baby, and national names like Loe Shimmy. Both Hear My Cry and Intrude are available on all platforms via 300 Ent.

Only just tapping into his immense potential, Luhh Dyl is ready to make a name for himself. With much more music to come, he positions himself as an artistic force that can’t be ignored.

The Background:

Luhh Dyl wants to keep you guessing. Poised to be the next big thing out of his city, the 21-year-old Detroit native has cultivated a devoted online fanbase, constantly re-defining himself, and his sound. The burgeoning rapper has coined his own unique subset of hip hop called “Cart Music ” built from a social media concept turned viral movement. From Michael Jackson to artists across genres, Luhh Dyl’s influences are heard in his eclectic sound, consisting of his raw lyricism and a punchy cadence layered on top of rhythmic, melodic beats. In his own words, he wants to make music that is “fun and unexpected,” saying “people have to listen carefully, because they won’t know what I’m going to say next.”

To his family, he’s Dylan – to his friends, Dyl for short, so when it came time to choose a rap moniker, the rapper says Luhh Dyl was a no-brainer. Dyl’s introduction to music came at an early age, freestyling with his brothers & friends. At 17 years old, he went to the studio for the first time, in search of a coping mechanism after his cousin’s passing. From there, making music became a passion almost immediately, and the studio continued to be an outlet for Dyl to express himself in ways that he never had before. He recorded his first song in 2022, tapping into his natural microphone talent and idiosyncratic delivery. Raised by a single mother and growing up in Detroit (amongst other places) he navigated an ever-changing environment, and had to mature quickly, but Dyl says his upbringing put him at an advantage. His experiences in his life have not only pushed him forward but would later serve as the inspiration behind his lyricism.

Host Donwill Continues To Unearth Gems and Probe The Minds of Talented Guests, Including Bun B, Raekwon, Havoc, 9th Wonder, and Many More to Be Announced

Presented by Okayplayer, the Freewheeling, Deep-Diving Podcast About Hip-Hop History and Trends Airs Weekly On Thursdays

WEBBY AWARD WINNER 2025 – EXPERIMENTAL INNOVATION

The Background:

About the Almanac of Rap:

The Almanac of Rap is a weekly show hosted by Donwill that examines the origins of specific trends in hip hop and their impact over time and it’s way more fun than that description makes it sound. Each week, Donwill asks a question, presents a theory, and finds a guest to come to some sort of consensus about it. Simply put, it’s a show about rap by a rapper who loves rap music.

About Donwill:
Pulling from the crates of the blog era and the extremely online, Donwill is a certified rap encyclopedia — err, rather, a rap almanac. So then, it’s only right he’s the host of Almanac of Rap, a Webby Award-winning Okayplayer-produced series that combines the smartest, If You Know You Know™ rap conversations with deep-in-the-weeds fandom and sharp satirical humor. It’s all curated by Donwill, a former blogger who’s traded book recommendations with Lupe Fiasco and rapped with Drake as a member of the duo Tanya Morgan. If he’s not the most interesting rapper alive, he could do a hell of an interview with them. In an age of less-than-ethical streamers and scandal-chasing “interviewers,” Donwill employs a workmanlike approach to the art of journalism, taking at least a week to research each episode of his show. It’s appreciation as much as attention to craft. It’s also why his podcast stands as a show by and for the culture. And that’s probably because it is the culture. More specifically speaking, Donwill is the culture. Having written for The Village Voice as a reporter, traded bars with Drake, and interviewed rap titans like Lupe Fiasco, Donwill is the coach, the player, and the opponent — the journalist and the source. In other words, he’s the rapper-turned-podcaster we deserve.

The Bay City, Texas rapper has burst onto the scene with his unique mix of exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw’s signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound.

He flaunts a sound that plays just as well globally as it does at the parking lot kickback. The Tejano rapper rose to fame off his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on “Johnny Dang” (300 Million+ Streams), which Pitchfork honored as one of the best 100 songs of 2023. He parlayed that success into his breakout mixtape Lonestar Luchador, which was heralded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, Passion Of The Weiss, and more.

Notching tens of millions of streams on hits such as “Hardest Ese Ever,” “Cowboy Killer,” and “Hit List” solidified him as one of the most exciting southern rappers on the come up. With his latest album, Texas Technician, That Mexican OT delivers on the fun and raucous sound that made him, while also showing off a meticulous desire to expand his range.

The 18-Year-Old Triple Threat is Currently Preparing For His First Headlining Tour, With His Single “Lullaby” ft. Paradise Recently Hitting #1 on Urban Radi0

Named a 2026 Artist To Watch by Spotify, Amazon Music, and Shazam, the Golden-Voiced Artist Shows Off Why He’s R&B’s Hottest Rising Star on This Passionate Ballad

JayDon Prepares to Launch the “FLAMED UP” Tour, Hitting 6 Major Markets, Following His March 24 Show at The Blue Note in His Hometown of L.A

Critical Praise:

“JayDon, formerly known as JD McCrary , hasn’t stopped soaring since he stepped on the scene”- 2025 EBONY Power 100 – Generation Next

“JayDon — who voiced young Simba in the 2019 photorealistic remake of The Lion King — delivers a terrific vocal performance, intimately capturing the process of taking accountability while asking for forgiveness.” – Billboard

“At just 18, JayDon moves like he was made for the stage. With vocals that serenade, moves that instantly grab attention, and a natural ease in front of the camera, he’s got it all. After dropping a few records that caught real attention, Me My Songs & I establishes that he’s a triple threat, pulling from R&B’s roots while pushing the sound forward in his own lane.” – BET

“…this multi-talented artist is proving he’s a force across both film and music… No studio, no autotune—just raw talent.” – ThisIsRNB

The Announcement:

With his prodigious talent for singing, dancing, and acting apparent from a young age, JayDon was born to be a star. Shortly after earning “2026 Artist To Watch” honors from Spotify, Shazam, Complex, and Amazon Music, and announcing his new tour, JayDon releases “FLAMED UP,” his torrid new R&B ballad. A smoldering and seductive heatrock set in 6/8 time, “FLAMED UP” is the most impressive showcase yet of the triple-threat’s astonishing vocal talent, his voice displaying both power and vulnerability with silky harmonies and vibrato-laden runs. The song arrives along with a video, which drops on JayDon’s page at 1pm ET, in which JayDon and the object of his affections engage in a game of cat-and-mouse with complex choreography, as a bonfire blazes behind them

“FLAMED UP” is JayDon’s first new single since the release of his October 2025 debut EP, Me My Songs & I. Me My Songs & I gave a home to JayDon’s breakout hit, “Lullaby” ft. Paradise.

The Background:

About JayDon
After a year that turned him from rising talent into a global breakout, 18-year-old singer, dancer, and actor JayDon steps into his next era with Me My Songs and I — a deeply personal debut EP that captures the whirlwind of virality, vulnerability, and vision that have defined his journey.

JayDon has spent 2025 redefining what R&B can sound and feel like for a new generation. His breakout single “Lullaby” topped Spotify’s Viral 50 in South Korea, earning co-signs from leading K-Pop figures and introducing his music to millions across Asia. Follow-ups like “Boujee Baby” (with Zeddy Will) and the west-coast inspired “The Way You Move” expanded his reach further, while Billboard named him June’s R&B Rookie of the Month, cementing his arrival as one of the most exciting new voices in global music.

Across its tracklist, Me My Songs and I explores love, heartbreak, growth, and self-discovery with striking honesty and cinematic range. Songs like “Don’t Hate Me Now” confront the guilt and bittersweet reality of leaving a relationship that no longer feels right, while “Brand New” wrestles with the intoxicating push-and-pull of toxic love and the yearning for a fresh start. On “Jealous of the Moon,” JayDon lays bare his most vulnerable side, painting heartbreak over moody production.

The project showcases JayDon’s versatility — blending contemporary R&B, pop-leaning melodies, soulful balladry, and dance-driven rhythms into a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is globally accessible. It’s the work of an artist who grew up in the spotlight — from voicing Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King to performing with Childish Gambino — and is now claiming his place as one of R&B’s most promising new stars.

Alongside the EP, JayDon released three full-length music videos and performed his viral hit “Lullaby” during a national TV appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on October 3, marking a defining moment in his breakout year. Me My Songs and I isn’t just an introduction — it’s a statement of intent from an artist ready to shape the next era of R&B.

Shoreline Mafia and Disco Lines Collaborate on New Single, “Quickest Routes“

The Multi-Platinum L.A. Duo Team with the Hitmaking Producer to Remix Platinum Hits”Musty”, “Nun Major” and “Bands”

The Duo of OHGEESY and Fenix Flexin Release Their First New Single of 2026, Collaborating With One of Dance Music’s Hottest Producers, Known For the Hot 100-Charting “No Broke Boys” with Tinashe 

The Announcement:

Shoreline Mafia have been soundtracking house parties and club nights across the West Coast for nearly a decade, but their best years are still ahead. The Multi-Platinum duo, OHGEESY and Fenix Flexin, connects with an unexpected collaborator, teaming with hitmaking dance producer Disco Lines (best known for his Hot 100-charting “No Broke Boys” with Tinashe) “Quickest Routes,” their new single. Disco Lines meets GEESY and Fenix where they live, serving them a slick helping of propulsive L.A. street noir, defined by a rubbery bassline, twinkling keys, and propulsive kick-snares. The two emcees slide on the track, trading hustle-hard couplets and charming non-sequiturs: “I’m a Sagittarius, my son a Pisces,” spits OHGEESY.

The Background:

Known worldwide for their one-of-a-kind West Coast flow, Shoreline Mafia currently boast over 4M monthly Spotify listeners and 4B streams worldwide thanks to their wide cult-like fan base and long list critically acclaimed releases including 2017’s now-classic debut mixtape, SHORELINEDOTHATSHIT, as well as such singles as the RIAA Platinum certified “Musty” and “Nun Major,” the Gold certified “Whuss The Deal” and “Bottle Service,” and the 2x Platinum smash, “Bands (Feat. Rob Vicious).” The unit’s most recent full-length release, 2020’s RIAA Gold-certified MAFIA BIDNESS, was followed by a long hiatus that saw both OHGEESY and Fenix Flexin carry on with equally successful solo careers, highlighted by Fenix Flexin’s acclaimed mixtapes, FENIX FLEXIN VOL. 1 and FENIX FLEXIN VOL. 2 and OHGEESY’s blockbuster projects GEEZYWORLD and GEEZYWORLD 2 – the latter becoming his highest charting project debut to date, peaking at No. 2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart in 2023 — which also features hit single “GEEKALEEK” with Cash Kidd/BIA which went on to reach No. 25 on Billboard’s Rap Airplay chart.  OHGEESY’s most recent album Paid N Full, released on Valentine’s Day, notably debuted at #3 on Spotify’s US Album Chart and #5 on the Global Album Chart.

St. Louis and Memphis Collide As Sexyy and Key Party in Miami to the Tune of the Tay Keith-Produced Banger

The Video:

Shifting the culture with her indelible hooks and unprintably quotable bars, Sexyy Red is ready to make 2026 her year. The St. Louis native stars with Memphis heavy-hitter Key Glock in the video for “Hang Wit A Bad B*tch,” their buzzing Tay Keith-produced single. Dominated by Tay Keith’s low-note piano line and booming 808s, “Hang Wit A Bad B*tch” is a compulsive head-nodder, with a classic Southern feel that equally suits top-down rides and late nights at the strip club. In the video, directed by Sexyy Red herself, with assistance from Key Glock’s videographer ShotBySpence, Sexyy and Glock party at a Miami mansion, where they dance with a litany of baddies in front of hydraulic-powered Maybachs. The video features cameo appearances from Trippie Redd, Loe Shimmy, and Glock’s PRE labelmate Paper Route Woo.

“Hang Wit A Bad B*tch” was Sexyy’s first salvo in what is looking to be a major year for the Northside St. Louis princess. Over the holidays, Sexyy dropped the explicit anthem “If You Want It,” and plans to release plenty more music before she makes her debut at Coachella in April.

Sexyy kept very busy during 2025, which which featured high-profile collaborations, festival performances, movie soundtrack appearances, and more. One of hip-hop’s most in-demand artists, Sexyy collaborated with dozens of artists last year alone, uniting with Justin Bieber on “SWEET SPOT,” a highlight from his album SWAG, which debuted at #57 on the week’s Billboard Hot 100, and teamed with other high-profile artists like Central Cee, Snoop Dogg, Jessie Murph, Maroon 5, Gucci Mane, and Pluto. Sexyy and superstar DJ Tiësto released “OMG,” a song from the hit soundtrack to summer blockbuster and Best Picture  F1: The Movie, and she walked the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards, where she earned two nominations (“Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist,” “Favorite Hip-Hop Song” for “Whatcha Know Bout Me” w/ GloRilla). Sexyy’s honors kept on coming, as Billboard named Sexyy the “Indie Rapper of the Year” at their 2025 Indie Power Players event.

Sexyy made waves with her own music, as well, releasing a series of acclaimed singles. Early in 2025, Sexyy connected with Bruno Mars for  “Fat Juicy & Wet” (#18 Billboard Hot 100 peak, #1 on Urban Radio). To date, “Fat Juicy & Wet” has garnered hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, including 46 million views on the YouTube video, featuring cameos from Lady Gaga and LISA. Later in the year, Sexyy popped out with “For No Reason” and “Is You Coo,” and collaborated with new gen stars Lazer Dim 700, Baby Kia, Babychiefdoit, and PlaqueBoyMax for “YN.”

Sexyy is working hard on the full-length follow-up to 2024’s hit mixtape In Sexyy We Trust, looking to build upon a project that featured her career highlight singles “Get It Sexyy,” and “U My Everything. Stay tuned for much more from the Northside St. Louis princess very soon.

Bay Area Supergroup 1 Umbrella Celebrates Valentine’s Day with Music Video for Soulful “Pretty“

The New Group, Featuring Three SF Emcees, Lil Bean, ZayBang & Lil Yee and Two Oakland Rappers, ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim, Just Dropped Their Debut Album via EMPIRE

After Making Their Presence Felt at the Super Bowl in the Bay and All-Star Weekend in L.A., the Five-Man Supergroup Brings a Love Song From Their Album, 1 Umbrella, to Life

The New Album Features Guest Spots From Larry June, DaBoii, Rexx Life Raj and 1100 Himself, and Is Home to Recent Singles “Baller Blockin” and “The Blueprint” ft. DaBoii

Critical Praise:

“We here at POW are absolute suckers for a good crew cut, and this one checks every box. Staying in the Bay, anchored by a Keak Da Sneak sample, the record assembles six rappers with shared geography but wildly different approaches, all tearing through a beat built on creeping bells and forward motion. The energy feels jet-fueled, verses piling up with barely a pause to breathe.” – Passion of the Weiss

The Video:

Earlier this month, ALLBLACK, Lil Bean, 22nd Jim, ZayBang & Lil Yee joined forces to form 1 Umbrella, a new supergroup dedicated to uniting the Bay Area under the banner of heartfelt street music. This weekend, the NorCal Fab Five released a video for “Pretty,” a romantic highlight from 1 Umbrella, their debut album as a group. Produced by Reece Beats, “Pretty” rides a fluttery R&B sample that inspires  Lil Yee and Lil Bean to get romantic. Lil Yee kicks off the song with lilting melodies, expressing his belief that Saggitarius is the “best one” of the Zodiac signs, before Bean spits a flirtatious verse of his own: “Dangerous we in love, singin’ to you while I drive/All these pretty girls, you the best one alive,” sings Bean. In the video, Yee and Bean pour Moet and kick back with the women of their desires.

All five 1 Umbrella rappers are among the most respected artists in the Bay, with long track records of success and a history of fiery collaborations. ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim hail from the same neighborhood in Oakland, while ZayBang, Lil Bean, and Lil Yee hail from across the bridge, in San Francisco, a city with a rich, if less-heralded, hip-hop history than its East Bay cousin. Furthering a spirit of Bay Area pride, 1 Umbrella made their debut album a family affair. Spanning 15 tracks, 1 Umbrella features all five rappers in various combinations, including true posse cuts like “CODE,” “The Blueprint” ft. DaBoii, and the Passion of the Weiss-praised “Baller Blockin.”

The group welcomes guests from across the region, including SF’s Larry June, Vallejo’s DaBoii (formerly of SOB x RBE), Berkeley-born melodic mastermind Rexx Life Raj, and East Oakland storyteller 1100 Himself. Featuring additional guest appearances from Lingo and Dooder, and production from Bay Area sound architects like Brutal Money, Reece Beats, EazyDrez, DrinkJuice, B’Lon, and DJ Idea, 1 Umbrella is available on all platforms via EMPIRE.

1 Umbrella’s album arrived just in time for the worlds of music and sports to converge on California, with the Super Bowl in Santa Clara and the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. The 1 Umbrella rappers were outside during both weekends, sitting courtside at a Golden State Warriors game during Super Bowl weekend, then jetting to Los Angeles to film a music video for album highlight “Off Top” with Larry June.

Jay Fizzle Shares the Video for “Free Big Unccc,” A Highlight From His 2025 Project Beat The Odds

Released in September, the Longest-Tenured Paper Route Empire Signee’s Latest Project Supercharges His Tennessee Trap Sound, Welcoming Appearances From Key Glock and OJ Da Juiceman, Among Others

Critical Praise:

“..the members of Paper Route Empire reach a level of sincerity and emotional reflection that’s still hard to come by.” – Pitchfork

“Choosing some of the more interesting production to rhyme over, Jay Fizzle’s frankness and the flows he has on tap keep him in the convo as the whole city takes off.” – XXL Mag

“10 Rappers You Should Know Right Now” – DJ Booth

“The tape serves as both a testament to Memphis’ current rap preeminence and Fizzle’s own dexterity. He saves perhaps the hardest for last on the tape, attacking a looped vocal sample and towering percussion with ferocity.” – DJ Booth

“Jay Fizzle is a master of the searing street rap that serves as the bass-booming heart of Memphis music.” – The Hype Magazine

The Video:

On his Fall 2025 project, Beat The Odds, Paper Route Empire rapper Jay Fizzle incorporated classic sounds from funk, soul, and R&B into his high-octane Memphis sound. The rapper renews his call to “Free Big Unccc” on the latest video from the project. A longstanding member of PRE, Big Unccc has been incarcerated for several years, though he has been in touch with his labelmates, and occasionally recording new verses, from behind bars. “Free Big Unccc” is a hard-knocking tribute from Fizzle to his PRE brother, taking inspiration from Unccc’s signature “uh uh” ad-lib to stunt on his foes. In the video, Fizzle and his associates rock “Free Big Unccc” t-shirts and make sure that Unccc’s name still rings bells in their shared hometown of Memphis. 

Released in September, Beat The Odds is a 9-track ode to hard work and dedication, devoted to the art of executing a long-term plan to perfection. Spitting double-time in his signature tumbling flow, Fizzle alternates outlandish flexes with pearls of street wisdom, as he offers authentic advice for other trench babies attempting to overcome adversity. 

Beat The Odds benefits from Jay Fizzle’s exquisite ear for production, incorporating new elements into his Tennessee trap sound. “Nacho Cheese” looks back to the age of electro-funk and 80s R&B, as Fizzle turns out a danceable anthem about stacking paper. “Peepin’ Thru Ya Window” evokes the lush string-laden soul of the 70s, as Fizzle tries to overcome his jealousy and flexes charmingly raw melodies. Recent single “Gotta Be A Man” ft. JpOnThaTrack is an old-school country trap slapper, while “Twenty Three” ft. OJ Da Juiceman is drenched in the organ-driven pomp of the mixtape era. The mixtape culminates in “F*ck Det N****, F*ck Det B*tch,” one of Fizzle’s heaviest songs to date, a “he said, she said” collaboration with Tastey Michelle that finds the two Memphis natives acting out a lovers’ quarrel atop overdriven guitars. Featuring additional guest appearances from his PRE cohort Key Glock and Memphis riser 5ifty Ball on “Straight Off The Dome,” Beat The Odds is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire.

With Beat The Odds, Jay Fizzle asserted himself as one of the Memphis scene’s essential voices. Stay tuned for more from the prolific rapper in 2026.

The expanded version of the album features 8 new tracks, with production from the likes of Twysted Genius and more, several of which allow Kenny to indulge in his playalistic tendencies. “Puppy Love” and “Truck Full of Flowers” establish the rapper as a master of spitting game, delivering flirtatious verses and promising the world. “She Like Fine B*tches” finds Kenny working out his differences with his main squeeze by convincing her to join him, and “Come Here” lays Kenny’s rocksteady flow atop seductive saxophones. Kenny doesn’t just have a one-track mind: on “Going Crazy,” he rhapsodizes about his hopes and dreams with lilting melody, and on “Still Shining,” he proudly proclaims his superstar status.

Big Moochie Grape Balls Out From His Hospital Bed in “Humongous,” the Latest Video From Nightmare On AB, Available Everywhere via Paper Route Empire

The Paper Route Empire Rapper Keeps His Run Going, Sharing a Post-Apocalyptic Music Video From His Horrorcore-Themed 2025 Mixtape Nightmare on AB

Critical Praise:

“Big Moochie Grape is feeling like a champion in these streets” – Billboard

“It’s hard-working hustler music that never lets up, with a beat that never sleeps. Big Moochie Grape makes soundtracks not just for grinding, but for surviving.” – Pitchfork

“[East Haiti Baby is] an impressive body of work from one of Memphis’s strongest frontrunners.” – HotNewHipHop

The Announcement:

Big Moochie Grape tore through the Memphis scene in 2025, dropping bangers at a furious clip. Today, the Paper Route Empire capo returns with the video for “Humongous,” a highlight from his 2025 mixtape, Nightmare On AB. Produced by Dee Gudda & King Cee O, “Humongous” is an outrageous banger with a speaker-knocking beat, as Moochie compares himself to luminaries like Gucci Mane and 50 Cent as he unleashes doubletime flexes: ‘Runnin’ to the coins like a Subway Surfer,” he spits. The video for “Humongous” takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Moochie’s hometown of Memphis, as doctors and nurses struggle to keep Moochie restrained while an army of his supporters ransack the city.

Released on Halloween 2025, Moochie posits himself as the block’s own Freddie Krueger on Nightmare On AB. A reference to the famous Nightmare films and his home block of Apple Blossom Drive, in East Memphis, Nightmare On AB quickly establishes the life and death stakes of day-to-day in his neighborhood, where it is hustle or fall behind, and kill or be killed. Sometimes, Moochie is the monster in the movie, while other times, he is the victim, and the roles reverse more often than you can count. Nightmare On AB is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire.

Nightmare On AB was Moochie’s second release of 2025, following EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE). Featuring hard-hitting production from the likes of BandPlay, King Wonka, and more, EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE) is the purest distillation yet of Moochie’s relentless Tennessee trap sound, a monument to his self-made status and a chronicle of gigantic flexes. The tape features odes to Moochie’s heroes, including legendary rappers like “Big Pun,” and symbols of excellence like 3x Super Bowl winner “Patrick Mahomes,” in a single praised by Billboard. EAT OR GET ATE 2 (Deluxe) is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire. Released on Halloween 2024, as a follow-up to Moochie’s 2019 debut mixtape, EAT OR GET ATE, EAT OR GET ATE 2  earned praise from XXL, The FADER, VIBE, and more.

Opening 2026 with a bang, Big Moochie Grape promises to keep grinding until the whole world knows what PRE and East Memphis are all about.

Ricky Hil Releases New Album 10,000 Grams via Limosa Nostra Records / Atlantic, Produced In Full by Lex Luger and Hosted by Trap-A-Holics

The Alt Rap Pioneer Stars in the Video for Tape Highlight “SLUT“

The Sequel To Ricky Hil and Lex Luger’s Fan-Favorite 2011 500 Grams Album, 10,000 Grams Updates the Artist’s Dark Sound, Blending Trap, Punk Rock and More to Create a Punishing, Hedonistic Sound

Catch Ricky Hil Live With His Limosa Nostra Associate SosMula on the “KILLA SEASON TOUR”

Critical Praise:

“[Ricky] Hil is doing his own thing, he raps what’s on his mind, and it’s safe to say he doesn’t give a fuck what you think.” – HotNewHipHop

“Hil has been tasked with carving out his own space within music and culture. In the 2010s, he turned to emo rap, creating a murky sound that helped to influence GothBoiClique — namely Lil Peep.” – Alt Press

The Album:

An influential alt-rap figure with a malleable sound that centers his naked emotion, Ricky Hil specializes in vulnerable music that this time you can mosh to. Blessing this Friday The 13th with a haunting new full-length, the artist teams with Lex Luger to refine his punk trap sound on his new album, 10,000 Grams.

Produced in full by Lex Luger, the album is a sequel to the producer/rapper duo’s first project together, released in 2011 en route to fan-favorite status. Like the first project, 10,000 Grams is hosted by the legendary Trap-A-Holics, whose drops add a hard edge to Lex Luger’s grandeur. The 13-track project is a hard-hitting hedonistic journey, following Ricky as he deals with the ramifications of his rockstar lifestyle. Ricky indulges in his base tendencies, and lives to face the consequences. The album is an ideal soundtrack to the hours between 2am and dusk, where the confident euphoria of a night’s partying transforms into something more sinister.

Ricky sets the tone quickly with “HELL VALLEY,” a shimmering and subdued symphony of regret and suicidal ideation, as Lex provides thunderous 808s and mournful pianos: “I don’t care if I die, cause I’m dead already,” intones Ricky. From that launching point, 10,000 Grams takes a tour through Ricky’s mind and myriad tastes, with songs like “U LIKE ME DEAD” adding chugging electric guitars to nod to Ricky’s alt rap roots, while others like “OXYCONTIN” featuring the villainous synth melodies that won Lex Luger his notoriety. Ricky brings his Limosa Nostra associate SosMula for a series of duets, including recent single “BLOW,” in which the two artists ping-ponging off one another with macabre flexes. Featuring additional appearances from Omertá, Niko G4, and Cl0wny, 10,000 Grams arrives via Ricky’s Limosa Nostra Records joint venture with Atlantic Music Group.

Along with the album, Ricky shares the video for 10,000 Grams highlight “SLUT.” The song is emblematic of Ricky and Lex’s partnership, with Lex’s monster movie synths providing an epic backdrop for Ricky’s rasping, raw flexes. The rapper touts his Swiss watch, compares himself to both baseball great Ken Griffey Jr. and Wes Craven villain Freddy Krueger, and gets faded in several different ways. In the video, Ricky gives a glimpse into his life, as he spends a torrid evening with a beautiful woman.

A natural-born trendsetter, Ricky Hil has been a fixture in the underground since emerging in the early 2010s. The artist’s dark and melodic sound, focusing inward on his personal issues and rockstar dreams, was a major influence on artists in the SoundCloud era, particularly GOTH BOY CLIQUE and their superstar, Lil Peep. In the ensuing years, Ricky has continued to innovate, eliminating the line between rap and alt-rock in his music.

Ricky is primed for a big year in 2026, highlighted by 10,000 Grams. This week, Ricky Hil and SosMula kicked off the “KILLA SEASON TOUR.” Spanning 13 dates,  featuring music from Sos’s KAMP KRYSTL LAKE and the upcoming10,000 Grams.

The Background:

About Ricky Hil
“Right now, I’m pushing boundaries. I’m working harder—but thinking less,” says veteran rapper, singer, designer, and Limosa Nostra founder Ricky Hil. He is holding himself to a higher standard and pushing to make his best music yet. “I’m not letting anything slide—no clichés or lazy lines.” Hil’s career has garnered over 50 million streams, featuring highlights such as the Lil Peep collaboration “Lost In The Mail”, 2014’s breakthrough “Nomads” with The Weeknd, and solo standouts “Pimp C” and “Amerikan.” Nearly two decades in, he remains committed to fusing cultures, breaking barriers, and leading with authenticity. “Every year, I try to add something new to my arsenal,” says Hil, who will release 10,000 Grams, a thematic sequel reunion with hit-making producer Lex Luger, before joining Limosa Nostra artist, friend, and collaborator SosMula on the Killa Season Tour.

Hil made his first splash during the late-2000s blog era. Working closely with esteemed A&R Sickamore, Ricky burst onto the scene, making acclaimed mixtapes like the 2009 Don Cannon-hosted Limos Were Cool In The 90’s and others that followed. Over time and experience, Ricky’s style and musical sensibilities veered bolder and darker. High-profile recognition coincided with key collaborations with Kid Cudi, Fat Trel, and The Weeknd. In the case of “Nomads,” the single from Ricky’s acclaimed SYLDD (Support Your Local Drug Dealer) album went on to achieve more than 25 million streams. “Certain songs will live with you forever,” he explains. The hazy duet arrived at an inflection point in the careers of The Weeknd and Ricky. It was another example of a peer seeking out Ricky Hil to collaborate.

Since launching his imprint, Ricky Hil has cemented himself as a DIY mainstay, dropping acclaimed projects including 2015’s Candy Painted Coffins and the first Lex Luger–produced 500 Grams, onto the introspective Same Sh*t Different Day and raw Suicidal Hil to 2023’s benchmark Limosa Nostra Act 5, along with two Problem Children volumes with Ouija Macc. If there’s a throughline in his evolution, Ricky credits his vulnerability. Those feelings resonate with fans through raw themes of addiction, heartbreak, anger, grief, and feeling alone or alienated. Hil strengthens that connection to the audience through direct engagement on social media as well as a thriving merch line, which he personally designs.

After building his career brick by brick, Ricky Hil is preparing his next powerful move with 10,000 Grams. He refuses to stray from the momentum that brought him here, sticking to the original blueprint. “I’m unapologetically myself,” he says, “and I can only create what I like.”

Luh Tyler Shares “My Boo,” a Smooth and Seductive Single For Valentine’s Day

The Red Hot Tallahassee-Born 19-Year-Old Prepares For A Big Year, Aiming to Take Over the Game With His Sly Charisma and Slippery Flow

Critical Praise:

21 Under 21 – Billboard

“Luh Tyler…was 16 when a couple of breezy, punchline-fueled singles recorded directly into his iPhone suddenly made him the talk of Florida’s hip-hop scene.” – Pitchfork

“It feels like he’s spent his whole life speaking in punchlines, and now there just happens to be a beat.” – Pitchfork

“Luh Tyler Has a Flow That Is Wise Beyond His Years” – Rolling Stone

2023 XXL Freshman

“Luh Tyler Is The Coolest Teenager In Rap” – Stereogum

“The Most Exciting Young Rapper in Florida” – Complex

The Song:

Since emerging as a 16-year-old with his laid back flow and ice cold bars, Luh Tyler has been one of the rap game’s most exciting rising stars. The now 19-year-old North Florida native returns with his first new single of 2026, celebrating Valentine’s Day with his silky smooth “My Boo.”

Riding 2-stepping percussion laid over milky Fender Rhodes chords, the young man known as “Mr. Skii” delivers a seductive anthem for cuffing season, mixing slick flexes with charming come-ons: “Girl we stuck together like some damn glue/Girl you all in my head like some f*ckin’ shampoo,” Tyler lilts.  “My Boo” follows in the wake of “On My Own,” an introspective, forward-looking single from late 2025.

Born and raised in Tallahassee, FL, Luh Tyler took the rap game by storm as a teenager, stunning tastemakers and fans with his slippery flows and raspy-voiced witticisms. Only 16-years-old, Tyler earned plaudits from the likes of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork for his infectiously hard-hitting singles, like “Jayda Wayda,” “Law & Order,” and “Back Flippin’.” In 2023, Tyler released his debut album, My Vision, named one of the year’s best albums by UPROXX and Complex. The album welcomed guests like Lil Uzi Vert, Loe Shimmy, and BabyTron, generating over 100 million cross-platform streams, and cementing his spot on XXL’s 2023 Freshman List. Tyler followed-up My Vision with 2024’s Mr. Skii, home to hits like “First Show,” “Change My Wayz,” and “2 Slippery” ft. BossMan Dlow, and his headlining “Mr. Skii Tour.” Luh Tyler dug deeper into his background on 2025’s Florida Boy mixtape, limiting the number of guests and focusing on widening his artistic and sonic palette, performing songs from the tape as a special guest on A Boogie’s worldwide “Better Off Alone Tour.” Billboard rewarded Tyler’s hard work by naming him one of 2025’s 21 Under 21.

Hard at work to his follow-up to Florida Boy, Luh Tyler seeks to cross even more milestones this year. With his 20th birthday approaching at the end of the month, the Florida rapper prepares to launch his smooth stylings to the mainstream. Stay tuned for more.

The Background:

Wielding a wavy flow, irresistible melodies, and inventive dynamics, Luh Tyler animates bouncy anthems with undeniable unpredictability. He switches lanes seamlessly between his signature laidback cadence and airy high register, touting a style all his own. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a vibrant voice out of his native Tallahassee, FL, all before the age of 16. Inspired by local favorites Wizz Havin, Trapland Pat, L.O.E. Shimmy, and more, he started to upload music of his own. Following “5 On It Freestyle,” he gained traction with “Jayda Wayda.” Meanwhile, “Law & Order” posted up over 3.9M YouTube views. Pitchfork hailed “I Gotta Slide” among “The Ones” and professed, “I particularly like moments when his voice cracks or sounds dry; it makes lines stick in your mind.”

During late 2022, Tyler popped off with “Back Flippin,” now with over 43M Spotify streams and an official music video boasting over 13M YouTube views. In 2023, Tyler released his debut mixtape, My Vision, which debuted #2 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart and was praised by the likes of Billboard, Complex, and Pitchfork, which declared him “The Coolest 16-Year-Old Rapper in America,” adding, “The trippy rhythm paired with his cloud of punchlines delivered in that middle-aged cigarette smoker voice makes doing absolutely nothing sound cool as shit. You don’t need to be a teenager to get behind that.”

Having landed among the 2023 XXL Freshman Class and been named to Billboard’s “21 Under 21” list, 2024 saw the arrival of Tyler’s Atlantic Records debut album, Mr. Skii, highlighted by such singles as “Mr. Skii,” “2 Slippery (Feat. BossMan Dlow),” “TH2DH,” and “Young N****a,” alongside features from Kodak Black, BLP Kosher, Veeze, and Trapland Pat. Tyler marked the album’s arrival with The Mr. Skii Tour – his biggest North American headline tour to date – as well as a special guest run on A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s epic Better Off Alone Tour that included performances at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum, Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre,  and New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden. In 2025, with the release of Florida Boy and accolades including Billboard’s 2025 “21 Under 21” list, Tyler continued his momentum, and looks to make a major impact in 2026.

Sexyy Red Releases “Hang Wit A Bad B*tch,” A New Duet With Key Glock

Stream HERE

Produced by Tay Keith, the New Single Heralds Another Triumphant Year for the Northside St. Louis Princess

The Song:

Entering her fourth year as rap’s rawest entertainer, Sexyy Red is coming for necks in 2026. The St. Louis native comes through with another X-rated anthem, connecting with PRE‘s own Key Glock for “Hang Wit A Bad B*tch.” Produced by Tay Keith, who produced Platinum singles for both Sexyy (“SkeeYee,” “Pound Town”) and Glock (“Ambition For Cash”), the new song is a classic Southern-style stomper, with a crawling piano line climbing thunderous 808s and dancing atop a bouncing bassline.

The two rappers go back-and-forth, as Glock expresses his desire for a street-savvy partner with a “Glock in her purse” who will still “do your taxes,” and Sexyy presents herself as the woman of any neighborhood figure’s dreams: “I’m a young turnt b*tch in my prime/You know what that mean, I’m outside/Won’t settle til’ I’m 45,” she promises. “Hang Wit A Bad B*tch” is Sexyy’s first new single of 2026. It is the direct follow-up to “If You Want It,” an explicit anthem that Sexyy released during the Holiday Season.

Sexyy is ready to follow-up a major 2025, which featured high-profile collaborations, festival performances, movie soundtrack appearances, and more. One of hip-hop’s most in-demand artists, Sexyy collaborated with dozens of artists last year alone, uniting with Justin Bieber on “SWEET SPOT,” a highlight from his album SWAG, which debuted at #57 on the week’s Billboard Hot 100, and teamed with other high-profile artists like Central Cee, Snoop Dogg, Jessie Murph, Maroon 5, Gucci Mane, and Pluto. Sexyy and superstar DJ Tiësto released “OMG,” a song from the hit soundtrack to summer blockbuster and Best Picture  F1: The Movie, and she walked the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards, where she earned two nominations (“Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist,” “Favorite Hip-Hop Song” for “Whatcha Know Bout Me” w/ GloRilla). Sexyy’s honors kept on coming, as Billboard named Sexyy the “Indie Rapper of the Year” at their 2025 Indie Power Players event.

Sexyy made waves with her own music, as well, releasing a series of acclaimed singles. Early in 2025, Sexyy connected with Bruno Mars for  “Fat Juicy & Wet” (#18 Billboard Hot 100 peak, #1 on Urban Radio). To date, “Fat Juicy & Wet” has garnered hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, including 46 million views on the YouTube video, featuring cameos from Lady Gaga and LISA. Later in the year, Sexyy popped out with “For No Reason” and “Is You Coo,” and collaborated with new gen stars Lazer Dim 700, Baby Kia, Babychiefdoit, and PlaqueBoyMax for “YN.”

Sexyy is working hard on the full-length follow-up to 2024’s hit mixtape In Sexyy We Trust, looking to build upon a project that featured her career highlight singles “Get It Sexyy,” and “U My Everything. In April, Sexyy Red will turn heads once more as she makes her debut at Coachella. Stay tuned for much more from the Northside St. Louis princess very soon.

“JayDon — who voiced young Simba in the 2019 photorealistic remake of The Lion King — delivers a terrific vocal performance, intimately capturing the process of taking accountability while asking for forgiveness.” – Billboard

“At just 18, JayDon moves like he was made for the stage. With vocals that serenade, moves that instantly grab attention, and a natural ease in front of the camera, he’s got it all. After dropping a few records that caught real attention, Me My Songs & I establishes that he’s a triple threat, pulling from R&B’s roots while pushing the sound forward in his own lane.” – BET

“…this multi-talented artist is proving he’s a force across both film and music… No studio, no autotune—just raw talent.” – ThisIsRNB

JayDon’s massive year in 2025 put him on the radar of companies like Spotify, Shazam, and Amazon Music, all of whom highlighted JayDon as one of 2026’s “Artists To Watch.” The actor and artist released his debut EP,  Me My Songs & I, in October, concluding a run of acclaimed singles that showed off his range. ayDon crafted the EP with behind-the-scenes assistance from industry heavy-hitters, including songwriters Felisha King (formerly of Cherish) and Whitney Phillips, producers like Harv, Blaq Tuxedo, Andre Harris, and Triangle Park, and executives USHER and Antonio “L.A.” Reid. The EP peaked at #8 on Apple Music’s R&B chart over its debut weekend.

Me My Songs & I gave a home to JayDon’s breakout hit, “Lullaby” ft. Paradise. Produced by Harv, a GRAMMY-nominated producer known for hits like Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and written by Felisha King, formerly of the R&B group Cherish (“Do It To It”), “Lullaby” is a lush ballad in stately 6/8 time, showing off JayDon’s falsetto and making space for a cucumber-cool rap verse from Paradise. The song was a viral hit upon its release, particularly taking off in South Korea, where  it reached the top of the Spotify Viral 50 and remained there for multiple weeks. In October, JayDon and Paradise performed the song on The Jennifer Hudson Show (co-signed by Ms. Tina Knowles).

Beyond “Lullaby,” standout singles that find a home on the new EP include the the USHER-sampling “I’ll Be Good,” which earned praise from Billboard, BET, Rated R&B, and more, and inspired a choreography-heavy music video (2.2 million views), and the skittering, Jersey club-inspired “Boujee Baby.” JayDon performed songs from his debut EP during his sold-out headlining show at The Echo in his hometown of Los Angeles on October 21st. Me My Songs & I is available on all platforms via Zoo/mega/gamma.

About JayDon
After a year that turned him from rising talent into a global breakout, 18-year-old singer, dancer, and actor JayDon steps into his next era with Me My Songs and I — a deeply personal debut EP that captures the whirlwind of virality, vulnerability, and vision that have defined his journey.

JayDon has spent 2025 redefining what R&B can sound and feel like for a new generation. His breakout single “Lullaby” topped Spotify’s Viral 50 in South Korea, earning co-signs from leading K-Pop figures and introducing his music to millions across Asia. Follow-ups like “Boujee Baby” (with Zeddy Will) and the west-coast inspired “The Way You Move” expanded his reach further, while Billboard named him June’s R&B Rookie of the Month, cementing his arrival as one of the most exciting new voices in global music.

Across its tracklist, Me My Songs and I explores love, heartbreak, growth, and self-discovery with striking honesty and cinematic range. Songs like “Don’t Hate Me Now” confront the guilt and bittersweet reality of leaving a relationship that no longer feels right, while “Brand New” wrestles with the intoxicating push-and-pull of toxic love and the yearning for a fresh start. On “Jealous of the Moon,” JayDon lays bare his most vulnerable side, painting heartbreak over moody production.

The project showcases JayDon’s versatility — blending contemporary R&B, pop-leaning melodies, soulful balladry, and dance-driven rhythms into a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is globally accessible. It’s the work of an artist who grew up in the spotlight — from voicing Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King to performing with Childish Gambino — and is now claiming his place as one of R&B’s most promising new stars.

Alongside the EP, JayDon released three full-length music videos and performed his viral hit “Lullaby” during a national TV appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on October 3, marking a defining moment in his breakout year. Me My Songs and I isn’t just an introduction — it’s a statement of intent from an artist ready to shape the next era of R&B.

Hurricane Wisdom Explores the Ups and Downs of Love with “Over Now” Video Single

Recently Named a 2026 Artist to Watch by Spotfiy, the North Florida Breakout Star Follows Up His Top 10 Trending “My Life” Video With Another Earworm

In 2025 Hurricane Wisdom Released Two Billboard 200-Charting Projects, Including

Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain, Home to the Hits “Drugs Callin (Remix)” ft. Lil Baby and “On Stream” ft. ReGGie

Critical Praise:

“Wisdom, from Havana (a tiny suburb of Tallahassee), fuses the tropical bounce of Florida street rap with the tenderness in the ballads of Southern and Midwestern truth-tellers. And the instrumental—flickering percussion and scattered, Broward County steel drums, merged with slow-mo, almost G-funk synths—is both melancholic and upbeat at the same time. It’s all rounded out by Wisdom’s raspy melodies, as he seamlessly toggles between no-frills aggression and lilts that hit like a sunshower.” – Pitchfork

“The Havana native broke down the regional barriers of Tallahassee with the twitchy “Giannis” in August, which picked up momentum like the Milwaukee Bucks superstar on a fast break to close out 2024. Hurricane narrates his gritty come-up but also delivers witty one-liners making light of his situation. He compares guns to the size of Giannis Antentokounmpo and jokes about not being good at math, but keeping problem-solvers around – if you catch his drift.” – Billboard

“Hurricane Wisdom Is On His Way To Becoming Rap’s Next Breakout Act” – UPROXX

“Dedicated to cultivating music that aims to uplift and inspire, Wisdom crafts his music for survivors and for the downtrodden soldiers who are giving their all to overcome adversity.” – The Knockturnal

The Announcement:

Hurricane Wisdom’s infectious melodies and down-to-earth realism have established him as one of the South’s most exciting young rappers. Recently named one of Spotify’s 2026 Artists to Watch, North Florida artist returns with his first new song of 2026, sharing his lilting ballad “Over Now“ and its music video. Rhyming over chirruping vocal samples and thudding percussion, Hurricane reflects on the difficulties of being a rap star in love, confessing that despite his loneliness, he’s too paranoid to let anyone get too close to him. In the video, Hurricane processes the end of a relationship, thumbing through roses and reminiscing on happier times, as director Cotto inserts symbols of his emotional wreckage, including burning Teddy Bears, into the picture.

“Over Now” is Hurricane’s first new single of 2026, following on the heels of December’s  “My Life,” a highlight from his new project The Live Sessions Vol. 1. A triumphant statement of purpose for the new year, first performed during On The Radar’s 2nd All-Star Cypher, “My Life” peaked at #9 on YouTube’s Trending Chart for Music, racking up over 1.6 million views. “My Life” can be found on The Live Sessions Vol. 1, a collection of rap songs featuring compelling live instrumentation.

The Live Sessions Vol. 1 concluded an astonishing 2025 for the 24-year-old Hurricane Wisdom, who established himself as one of rap music’s most-exciting rising stars. After elevating in Summer 2024 with “Giannis” (over 60 million streams across platforms), named one of the best songs of that year by Pitchfork, Hurricane boosted his profile with two high-quality projects in 2025. In February, Hurricane dropped Perfect Storm. Home to “Giannis” (Remix) ft. Polo G, and additional hits like “Drugs Callin” and “On God” ft. Raq Baby, Perfect Storm charted on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak).

During the summer, Hurricane tore up the scene with a series of singles, including  “Woosah” (which peaked at #9 for YouTube trending and #40 on the YouTube Top Music Video chart), “Afraid” (reached #12 on YouTube’s Trending Chart), “Powerhouse,” which Hurricane debuted on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon stream with On The Radar, reached the Top 10 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #89 on YouTube’s Music Video chart, and, “OT,” which reached the Top 5 of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and #86 on the YouTube Music Video Charts. Those singles and more appeared on Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain. More than a deluxe, Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain brings 17 original songs, not yet collected on any project, landing multiple weeks on the Billboard 200 with a peak of #54, debuting in the Top Ten of Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart and at #16 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The success of Sorry 4 The Rain was driven by a high-wattage remix to Hurricane’s viral hit “Drugs Callin,” featuring Lil Baby. Updating Future’s classic “Perkys Callin'” for a new era, “Drugs Callin” racked up over 40 million streams across platforms and 22 million views on YouTube, while the remix music video reached #1 on YouTube’s Trending Chart. Complex placed “Drugs Callin” (Remix) at #36 on their list of 2025’s 50 Best Songs, and at #23 on their list of 2025’s 30 Best Rap Songs. At the end of the year, Audiomack revealed that “Drugs Callin'” was the most-streamed rap song on the platform in 2025, with Hurricane’s “Need Me” following suit at #4.

When Perfect Storm: Sorry 4 The Rain made landfall, Hurricane Wisdom’s hotness became undeniable. He performed “Rich Dropout” as his Lyrical Lemonade’s Lunch Break Freestyle (1.8 million views), and most recently, made a standout appearance during On The Radar’s 2nd All-Star Cypher. The young rapper recently wrapped his “Perfect Storm: No Umbrellas Tour,” a headlining tour featuring several sold out dates.

Keeping the pressure on as he storms his way into 2026, Hurricane Wisdom is ready to make a Category 5 impact on the industry. Keep an eye out… a storm is coming.

The Background:

Fusing expressive church vocals with themes of optimism and perseverance, Hurricane Wisdom makes songs for survivors — anthems that are as spiritual as they are heartfelt. A down-home storyteller, the Florida native serves up motivational soundtracks for everymen with dreams of sunnier days; his music gives them the resolve to get there. It’s an artistic approach as much as it is a mission, and it’s earned him a growing legion of fans, cosigns from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, and status as one of the most potent young voices in the South East. It’s a position he reinforces with “Hard Knock Life,” an engrossing rumination on the struggle of the hopeful underdogs. His blurry melodies spill out like teardrops even as his lyrics spell out danger. Through it all, he’s swirled themes of aspiration with tales of frayed friendships and other blockboy hazards while showcasing an inborn sincerity — and a heightened humanity — that connects soul to sound and listeners to love.

Since breaking out with “Granny’s Baby” in 2020, he’s cultivated a sizable buzz with projects like Hurricane Season (2021), State of Emergency (2022) and Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane (2023), with each new release earning more streams than the last. To date, he’s collaborated with the likes of NLE Choppa, SpottemGottem, NoCap, Luh Tyler and more as he’s proven his ability to infuse songs with empathy that soars above genres or classifications. Looking ahead, Hurricane wants to continue to be a voice for the people who don’t have one. The beats will change and his songwriting skills will grow, but it will all be rooted in a spirit of mutual understanding. “At the end of the day, I just try to make shit that people can relate to as humans,” he says. “We’re all human.”

Montana 700 Pays Tribute to Fallen Rapper Zeethewizard on Heartfelt New Single “LL Da Wizard“

The Rising Dallas Rapper Seeks To Unite His City As He Follows Up a Big 2025 With Even Greater Ambitions

Coming Off a Breakout Year Featuring Two Acclaimed Projects and Buzzing Singles Like “Boosie Flow” and “Loyalty Is Real” ft. YFN Lucci, “LL Da Wizard” is an Urgent and Moving Tribute to One of His City’s “Hidden Gems”

The Video:

As a leader of the “New Dallas” movement, Montana 700 has devoted his career to uniting his city, focusing on the scene’s shared ambitions and attempting to curb violence. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always go according to plan–Montana’s friend Dallas rapper Zeethewizard passed away at the beginning of this year. Paying tribute to his fallen friend, Montana releases “LL Da Wizard,” his latest single. The new song is a heart-pumping anthem, celebrating Wizard’s life and using the suddenness of his passing as motivation to keep going. The two rappers used to “sleep on each other’s floors, roaches in the fridge,” and Montana knows that Zeethewizard would have wanted him to conquer the game. In the video, Montana counts his blessing as he remembers his friend, watching clips from Zee’s music videos and plotting his next move.

“LL Da Wizard” is Montana’s first new single of 2026, following a breakout year for the young Texas artist. Montana’s 2025 was marked by arked by two acclaimed projects and several viral singles. Over the summer, Montana dropped his mixtape, The Greatest of All Traps, home to singles like “Loyalty Is Real” ft. YFN Lucci and “Boosie Flow.” Both songs were among Montana’s best-performing songs to date, with “Loyalty Is Real” reaching the Top 100 of YouTube’s Music Video chart (2.9 million total views) and “Boosie Flow” reaching the Top 20 of YouTube’s Trending Chart for Music (3.9 million views).

Earlier in the year, Montana dropped 700 Reasons, a high-octane tape that put a new twist on the Southern sound. The album featured songs like “Count A Hunnit,” featuring a sample of Jeezy’s “And Then What,” which earned positive attention from Jeezy himself, and “Pipeline” (Remix), his collaboration with BigXThaPlug. Both 700 Reasons and The Greatest Of All Traps are available on all platforms via Remain Solid / 300 Entertainment.

Born and raised in South Dallas, Montana 700 is ready to make 2026 his year. He first hit the scene in 2022, making music that combined the twangy and bass-heavy Dallas rap template with broader Southern rap sounds. Along with his close friend and frequent collaborator Zillionaire Doe, Montana 700 is a leader of the New Dallas movement, an effort from the younger generation to stop the violence that has plagued Dallas hip-hop for years, and instead to build a community-focused scene that will allow the whole city to prosper. Montana spoke about the New Dallas scene on a recent episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game. Most recently, in November 2025, Montana celebrated his birthday and laid out his goals on the exuberant “It’s My Birthday.”

With even more music to come very soon, Montana 700 prepares to make an impact on a grand scale. Stay tuned.

“Welcome To My Garden” arrives after a whirlwind 2025 for Stove God Cooks, who is evolving from your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper to the standard bearer for East Coast Hip-Hop. Stove made his biggest impact this year by singing the hook on “F.I.C.O.,” a standout track from Let God Sort ‘Em Out, the multi-GRAMMY Award-nominated comeback album by Pusha T and Malice as the Clipse, which Fat Joe and Jadakiss called the “hook of the year” when Stove appeared on the Joe & Jada Podcast last month. The acclaimed single was recently named the third-best song of 2025 by Consequence.

Earlier in November, Stove starred with the Thornton Brothers in the Hunnan Hussein-directed video for “F.I.C.O.,” which generated over 1 million views since its release. In Summer of 2025, around the time of the release of Let God Sort ‘Em Out, Stove God Cooks took a trip to Paris, where he hung out with Pharrell and hit the studio with Jay-Z.

The product of years of hard work, Stove God Cooks’ breakout 2025 is a treat for his longtime fans, who have watched with pride as more and more industry figures, including Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, Busta Rhymes, Griselda, and Roc Marciano, recognize their fave’s incredible potential. Known initially for his show-stopping guest appearances on songs by Griselda artists like Westside Gunn, Stove made the rap world take notice in 2020, when he released Reasonable Drought. Produced in full by Roc Marciano, Reasonable Drought has developed a legendary reputation, earning Best of 2020 honors from Complex and growing in stature by the year. To date, Reasonable Drought is Stove’s only studio album, but he has tantalized his fans with his guest spots and EPs.

Refusing to make his loyal fans wait any longer for new music, Stove God Cooks is hard at work cooking up his next project. Stay tuned for GOAT STAMP, arriving very soon via Babygrande Records.
