 🙏🏼 For Your “Best of 2018 List” Consideration: Our Strongest Singles of the Year 📓

2018 was a year full of change for me both personally and professionally. Ironically, one of the highlights, which is seeing our society hold people and companies more accountable, has created “more work” for us as publicists but I see that as good change. More highlights include seeing the stigma of mental health decrease overall, especially in hip hop. Artists who would never think to open up to professionals back in the day for being of being viewed as soft or a snitch are telling me the benefits of seeing their therapists.

On a personal level, Gavin and I are very grateful for the new team members, Scott, Kierra, and Erin, who joined the AT family this year. Along with Dan, who’s been with us since 2016, the vibes in the office are so great and the work keeps us so engaged. It’s become a running joke for one of us to incredulously blurt aloud every single day, “How is it 4pm already?!” Time flies when you’re doing damage control.

Pathetic PR jokes aside, we are truly grateful for the support you give our artists this year and every year. Thank you for believing in them and for helping to make their dreams come true.

❤️, Michelle, Gavin, Scott, Kierra, Erin, Dan, and our hard-working intern from Northeastern, Julien.

💔 P.S. RIP to Mochi, our Pug/Jack Russell mix of 15 years, who always kept a warm spot on the couch for visitors.

The featured song on Spotify’s Off The Strength playlist (615k followers) in November, “Neighborhood Hero” inspired a series of videos in which Durk and other artists, including Meek MillTrae Tha Truth, and Nipsey Hussle, highlight their efforts towards improving their communities.

    STREAM | BUY | ASSETS | PR

    Action Bronson wears a lot of hats, from chef, to TV host, to author, but there’s one label that he likes best: rap star. On White Bronco, the Queens-born multi-hyphenate’s first independent album since 2012, Bronson reckons with success, throwing himself into his art and fine-tuning his reference-packed lyrics. Boasting an off-kilter guest spot from A$AP Rocky, the album finds Bronson rhyming atop eclectic production from KnxwledgeDaringerSamiyam, and Bronson’s longtime collaborator Party Supplies. Described by Passion of the Weissas “a more cohesive embodiment of his sound and style than any other album in his discography,” the music of White Broncoresembles the album’s cover, with art painted by Action Bronson himself–it has jagged edges, bright colors, and a frightening sense of sharp wit.

    Sahbabii – Squidtastic
    STREAM | BUY | ASSETS | PR

    Blending tough-talking lyrics with sugary and bright sonics, SahBabii creates an infectiously melodic brand of trap music. On his latest album Squidtastic, Sahbabii dives deep into his insular undersea haven, with his brother T3 as the only guest, as the Atlanta native uses the language of trap music to make something unique and beautiful. Raved Pitchfork in their Overlooked Albums list for Summer 2018, “In the world of SahBabii’s Squidtastic, the Atlanta rapper’s vivid imagery sounds like it belongs in a Miyazaki film, his weapon of choice is a ninja star, and all animals are to be cherished. It’s ridiculous and there is no place I would rather find myself lost in.” The project boasts highlights like the warm and spritely “Sunny Days,” the introspective and vulnerable “Tall,” complete with atonal acoustic guitar, and the Latin-inflected for-the-ladies jam “Army.” With Squidtastic, Sahbabii proves that he is much more than the man who made “Pull Up Wit Ah Stick,” asserting himself as a bright and positive force in the often-bleak world of trap music.

    The Background:

    Every artist dreams of having a meaningful exchange with their inspiration. Lil Wop was sought out by his. For years, the energetic spitter was drawn to Gucci Mane’s honesty, fearlessness, and nimble delivery. Less than a year ago, the prolific and veteran hit-maker reached out to the Atlanta-based rapper with the Wopavelli mixtape series. “He was like, ‘I want to sign you; I don’t care what it takes,’” the younger artist recalls. When Big Guwop checked out the “Lost My Mind” video on Worldstar, he was one of the millions who were captivated. Lil Wop possesses an attitude and confidence in his blunt verses. On that viral hit, he compared himself to his idol in the opening lines. With his trademark gruff delivery, Wop seemed to already be living out a rockstar’s lifestyle, while never abandoning his Trap roots. “I was at a loss for words with the whole situation,” he recalls. He soon signed with 1017 Eskimo/Alamo Records. Over a year later on Halloween 2018, Lil Wop released Wopavelli 4, his biggest and most focused project. On the heels of gripping video singles, “Pint Of Blood” and “Hugh Hefner,” the rapper who clawed his way into his position steers the course with an energetic and eerie 19-track tape.

    Lil Wop Transforms Into Wopenstein in the Eerie “Extensions” Video

    Video: Lil Wop – “Extensions”

    The 1017 Eskimo/Alamo Artist Shares the Latest Horror-Themed Clip From His Blown-Out Mixtape Wopavelli 4

    11.12.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “Lil Wop has quickly become one of the most promising young rappers to recently emerge from Atlanta’s ever-evolving scene.” – HYPEBEAST

    “The Midwest rapper, who also happens to be Famous Dex’s cousin, is brewing up to have a breakout year.” – XXL

    “It goes without saying that once you hear Lil Wop once, you’ll start getting all of his songs stuck in your head.” – Lyrical Lemonade

    The Video:

    Paving his own lane with a bass-heavy and warped brand of trap, Lil Wop stands out in ATL’s new wave with his distorted beats and croaking vocals. Providing the ideal visual representation of his monster movie trap, Lil Wop shares Extensions,” his latest high-concept, horror-themed music video. Evoking such classic horror characters as Frankenstein and Michael Myers, Wop starts the video in suspended animation, floating in an aquatic chamber as scientists discuss his fate. As the music starts, Wop jolts to life, brandishing a firearm and unsettling his scientific observers. Produced by ChaseTheMoney, “Extensions” is a blown-out banger, with Wop croaking his way around aggressive stabs of synth bass. “Extensions” is the latest video from Wopavelli 4Wop’s latest opus, which blends elements of trap, horrorcore, and metal.

    Packed with eerie, mind-expanding beats from ChaseTheMoneyBrodinskiDigital NasAyo, and others, Wopavelli 4 finds the young rapper stretching the limits of his voice, crafting clipped and distorted bangers, enhanced by his signature vocal fray. The tape features the previously released single Hugh Hefner,” a bite-sized banger with a hedonistic video, which received an XXL premiere for its video in late July, as well as “Ghoul,” which dropped shortly afterward and has over 200k YouTube views. With Lil Wop holding down the mixtape’s 19 tracks, including highlights such as the menacing “Don’t Step On My Saint-Laurents” and the satanic “Cult,” and featuring an appearance from Big AdolfWopavelli 4 hits digital distributors courtesy of 1017 Eskimo/Alamo.

    Born and raised in Chicago, Louis MacPherson grew up idolizing local heroes like Chief Keef, Fredo Santana, and G Herbo, but he held a special place in his heart for Gucci Mane. Naming himself Lil Wop, a play on Gucci’s nickname Guwop, Lil Wop dedicated himself to his rap career when he moved to Atlanta, recording and shooting videos on a regular clip. Eventually, his video for “Lost My Mind” caught the ear of Gucci Mane himself, who signed Wop to his fledgling 1017 Eskimo label. Since the signing, Lil Wop has rapidly expanded his fanbase on the strength of his Wopavelli mixtape series, culminating with the pure evil Wopavelli 4.

    The Background:

    Every artist dreams of having a meaningful exchange with their inspiration. Lil Wop was sought out by his. For years, the energetic spitter was drawn to Gucci Mane’s honesty, fearlessness, and nimble delivery. Less than a year ago, the prolific and veteran hit-maker reached out to the Atlanta-based rapper with the Wopavelli mixtape series. “He was like, ‘I want to sign you; I don’t care what it takes,’” the younger artist recalls. When Big Guwop checked out the “Lost My Mind” video on Worldstar, he was one of the millions who were captivated. Lil Wop possesses an attitude and confidence in his blunt verses. On that viral hit, he compared himself to his idol in the opening lines. With his trademark gruff delivery, Wop seemed to already be living out a rockstar’s lifestyle, while never abandoning his Trap roots. “I was at a loss for words with the whole situation,” he recalls. He soon signed with 1017 Eskimo/Alamo Records. Over a year later on Halloween 2018, Lil Wop released Wopavelli 4, his biggest and most focused project. On the heels of gripping video singles, “Pint Of Blood” and “Hugh Hefner,” the rapper who clawed his way into his position steers the course with an energetic and eerie 19-track tape.

    Key Glock Announces 11/22 Glockoma Mixtape, Connects with Tay Keith for “Yea!!”

  • Press Release

    Key Glock Announces 11/22 Glockoma Mixtape, Connects with Tay Keith for “Yea!!”

    Key Glock Announces Glockoma Mixtape, Hitting the Internet on Glock Friday (11/23) via Paper Route EMPIRE

    The Rapidly Rising Street Star Teams With Tay Keith, His City’s Hottest Producer, for the “Yea!!” Single

    11.19.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “Dolph’s most prominent PRE signee [Key Glock] shows why he’s next up out of Memphis with tons of fun punchlines, cutting insults and a versatile delivery style that is in its own way as forceful as his label boss” – Noisey 

    “Key Glock is Memphis’s best new lyricist.” – The FADER

    “Key Glock raps with an authoritative wisdom well beyond his age” – The FADER

    “[Key Glock] will inevitably be on your radar in the months to come… he has a way with words that stick and resonate with his steadily growing fanbase.” – Karen Civil 

    “… unparalleled lyrical style and fierce approach” – ELEVATOR 

    The Announcement:

    Running up his monthly Spotify listener count to over 1 million fans, Key Glock specializes in visceral, no-bullshit street music. Returning for his third mixtape and his second tape of 2018, Glock announces the Glockomamixtape. Teaming up with a squadron of A-List producers, including Drake’s favorite new beatmaker Tay Keith, Glock adds to his collection of sharply-written bangers. Sticking close to Glock’s favorite topics–smoking Backwoods blunts, cooking dope, counting cash–the new mixtape is a product of Glock’s fierce charisma, as he reaches levels of flexing comparable to his Paper Route EMPIRE boss Young Dolph. The follow-up to February’s swaggering Glock Bond, which has over 39.7 million combined streams on Spotify, Glockoma arrives on Glock FridayNovember 23rd.

    To build up a frenzy for his upcoming Thanksgiving offering, Key Glock unites with Tay Keith for Yea!!,” his latest single. Previously collaborating on some of Glock’s best known songs, including Russian Cream” (15.6 million streams on Spotify) and Orville Redenbacher” (1.4 million views on YouTube), “Yea!!” is another banger, as Key Glock dials up his energy level, shouting about his new whip, his massive collection of diamond rings, and his burgeoning mogul status: “Bitch I’m bout it, bout it/You can call me Master Key/Who? Me? Bitch, I’m Master Key/But I’m still a P/Youngin’ off the leash.”

    Listen to “Yea!!”: https://empire.lnk.to/Yea

    Please contact Michelle more info.

    The Background: 

    A recognized figure in Memphis, Key Glock grew up idolizing the music of Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne. Glock created the unofficial crew Whole Lotta Errthang with his two best friends in high school, capturing the spirit of a popular Memphis saying. “Everybody knew we had a whole bunch of things going on,” remarked Glock. “we rolled with that, but we were living too fast.” Tragically, one of the members of his crew was gunned down at the age of 16. “Me and Ken [the other surviving member] ain’t even 21 yet, but we’ve seen and done so much. But you know: God does everything for a reason.” As Glock turned to music and began to develop his craft, his cousin-by-marriage Young Dolph began to take off. After facing an aggravated robbery charge and 90-day sentence in 2015, Key Glock was approached by Dolph and his business manager Daddyo to join Paper Route Empire. With PRE’s support behind him, Glock’s first single “On My Soul” has garnered 320,000 plays on WorldStarHipHop’s Youtube channel, and 235,000 plays on Soundcloud. With the release of Glock Season, Key Glock continues to smash through the southern rap scene. Stay tuned for more heat from Key Glock.

  • HipHopSince1987-premiered video is a heartwarming look at Fatboy’s local hero stature in his community, but it makes plenty of room for humor.

    Equally skilled in a variety of artistic disciplines, Fatboy SSE is an expert at drawing eyeballs. Growing up in Irvington, New Jersey, Fatboy found career inspiration when he was cast in a school play to portray The Notorious B.I.G., a role he took to with gusto. Though his dream was temporarily derailed by legal trouble, Fatboy quickly took his own unique route towards becoming a household name, crashing a Breakfast Club taping to demand that they serve him breakfast, in a clip that has over five million views, and building his Instagram following with a signature combination of sketches, vlogs, and musical content. After building his social following to superstar levels, Fatboy re-focused on music, releasing Drake,” which has over 1 million streams on Spotify, and Tymir Freestyle,” a ferocious single with over 1 million views on YouTube, which will appear on the new project. With Boobie From The Block, Fatboy asserts himself as a voice to be reckoned with in rap music and takes his next step toward taking over the world.

    Fatboy SSE Background:

    Fatboy SSE is a charismatic multi-talent with more than 5 million Instagram followers. The posts show an actor and rapper living out his dreams, with an edge for comedy, surprise, and topical commentary. While social media allows the boisterous artist to host a constant conversation with fans, he is out to make a lasting impression in entertainment. November 16’s Boobie From The Block arrives on Fatboy’s 25th birthday. Using a childhood nickname from the streets of Irvington, New Jersey, the album tells a story that goes beyond laughs, antics, and viral videos.

    EMPIRE Background:

    EMPIRE was founded in 2010 as an artist-friendly, progressive digital distribution company. After early success, and identifying future icons such as Kendrick LamarAnderson .Paak, and Rich Homie Quan, EMPIRE was quickly regarded as a tastemaker in the industry and throughout the past five years evolved into a full-fledged record label, distributor and publisher for independent musicians. With the company and roster growing at a breakneck pace, EMPIRE has effectively disrupted a stale business model by bringing its energy, expertise, and acumen to its artists and labels. Today, EMPIRE works with some of music’s hottest talent, ranging from superstars such as T.I. and Snoop Dogg, red-hot newcomers such as SOB X RBE and Mozzy, and established veterans like Jim Jones and Redman. While remaining 100% independent, EMPIRE has also partnered with Atlantic Records for a joint venture, home to breakout star D.R.A.M. and propelled singles by Fat Joe & Remy Ma (“All The Way Up,” 2x Platinum), Tyga(“Taste,” 3x Platinum), and Lil Duval (“Smile”) to the top of the Billboard Hip-Hop Charts. In April 2018, EMPIRE signed a global distribution deal with Universal Music Group for select artist projects.

  • Press Release

    J. Stalin & Dj.Fresh Explore the Flip Sides of Hood Life in a New Double Album, New Video Premiered by XXL

    Album: J. Stalin & Dj.Fresh – Miracle & Nightmare On 10th Street Part 2

    The West Oakland Rapper Paints a Lyrical Picture of His Life as a Father and CEO Over Dj.Fresh’s Smooth Samples in This Sequel to a 2013 Project; Shares “Nightmare on 10th Street Returns” Video

    11.16.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “Vibrant and exploding with personality, J. Stalin is a knowing, mischievous wise-ass whose charisma hangs between unapologetic cockiness and the ability to cut through rap’s fantasy-addled drug fetishism and provide sobering reality.”Pitchfork

    “One of Oakland’s illest MCs”XXL

    “As the owner of Livewire Records, West Oakland rapper J Stalin provides a place for the growth of incredibly creative, meat-and-potatoes Bay Area hip-hop. The label hosts gritty rubbery street music that navigates crack dealing devastation and grounded partying tracks with equal aplomb, with artists that range from Stalin himself to MCs like Shady Nate and Philthy Rich among others.” – SPIN

    “This is what Stalin does: he takes things–sounds, human beings, grocery stores–and warps them into something extraterrestrial. It’s eerie, but you’re dancing anyway.”Passion of the Weiss

    The Album:

    With a well-worn and electric studio chemistry, Bay Area icons J. Stalin and Dj.Fresh have collaborated for a long list hard-hitting albums. Reuniting for their 9th and 10th albums, Stalin and Dj.Fresh share Miracle & Nightmare on 10th Street Part 2. The sequel to Fresh and Stalin’s Miracle & Nightmare on 10th Street, which reached #28 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart upon its release in 2013, Part 2 spans two 10-track discs, each organized on the the nightmare and miracle of life in Stalin’s neighborhood in Oaktown. Packed with detailed street stories, creative brags and threats, and memorable turns-of-phrase, Miracle & Nightmare on 10th Street Part 2 brims with electricity, as Dj.Fresh provides a bright electro-funk backdrop for the Miracle disc and an aggressive, bass-heavy mob soundscape for the Nightmare disc. Prior to the album’s release, Stalin shared the sinister and violent Nightmare on 10th Street Returns,” which kicks off the Nightmare disc, and Living Lavish,” a luxurious, HYPEBEAST-premiered ode to the good life from the Miracle disc. The upcoming album boasts a quintessentially Bay Area guestlist, with appearances from Beeda Weeda, Shady Nate, Juneonnabeat, Mitchy Slick, and other East Bay stalwarts. The follow-up to Stalin’s Tears of Joy 2, released earlier in 2018,and following Dj.Fresh’s 2018 collaborations with Rydah J Klyde, Jay Worthy, and Zion IMiracle & Nightmare on 10th Street releases via Livewire/EMPIRE.

    To accompany the release of the album, Stalin shares the video for “Nightmare on 10th Street Returns” via an XXL premiere. Filmed through a dark and grainy filter, the new video mimics the horror and uncertainty of life in the hood. Rocking a bowler hat and a red-and-black striped sweater, imitating the iconic look of Nightmare on Elm Street villain Freddie Krueger, as he prepares to bury a body in the California desert. Beginning with a glorious instrumental synth intro, showing off the musical chops of Dj.Fresh, “Nightmare On 10th Street Returns” is the ideal intro for the album, illustrating the rough life in West Oakland and Stalin’s struggles to make a better life for his wife and son.

    24hrs Teams with Hit-Boy & Ty Dolla $ign For His Breezy Debut Album Houses On The Hill

  • Press Release

    24hrs Teams with Hit-Boy & Ty Dolla $ign For His Breezy Debut Album Houses On The Hill

    Album: 24hrs – Houses On The Hill

    The Artist Embraces the Sound and Lifestyle of the West Coast on His Studio Debut, Executive-Produced by Ty Dolla $ign & Hit-Boy, and Featuring YG, Lil Pump & More

    11.16.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “Without any context, 24hrs’ music is like listening to an alien who recently landed on Earth, heard some songs by Young Thug, Jeremih, and Rae Sremmurd, and started making his own. It draws from the current sounds in hip-hop and R&B, but there’s something slightly off about it, and this is what makes it so interesting.”-  Pigeons & Planes

    The Album:

    One of the most unique and promising rap-n-b stalwarts of the past couple years, 24hrs enjoyed a steady rise in popularity when he discovered his signature high-pitched auto-tuned sound. Perfecting and refining the luxurious aesthetic that earned him over 700k monthly listeners on Spotify, 24hrs shares Houses On The Hill, his debut album. Executive produced by super-producer Hit-Boy (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar) and Ty Dolla $ignHouses On The Hill is a glistening soundscape, alternating high definition riders’ anthems, ideal for top down cruising, with sensitive bedroom jams. Though 24hrs traces his roots to Atlanta, Houses On The Hill reflects 24’s new life on the West Coast, the perfect complement to the Pacific Ocean breeze and Cali kush. The new album boasts the hot single Lie Detector,” which features a guest turn from Lil Pump and has over 10.3 million plays on Spotify, as well as the Caribbean-inflected “Met Gala,” featuring PnB Rock, and the cavernous throwback “No Signal,” featuring Roy Wood$. Featuring additional appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, 24’s younger brother MadeInTYO, YG, Smokepurpp, Dom Kennedy, Vic Mensa, and Jay 305Houses On The Hill is currently available for stream and purchase.

    Formerly a rapper performing as Royce Rizzy, Robert Davis found a new sound when he accidentally sped up one of his more melodic tracks, revealing a high-pitched and hooky new voice. Adopting the new vocal approaching and shrouding his identity in mystery, 24hrs started to pick up momentum in 2016, earning praise from the likes of Pigeons & Planes and The FADER, and building a huge fanbase on SoundCloud. Since then, 24hrs developed a reputation for bright sonics, flashy lyrics, and endless hooks, winning a massive fan in Ty Dolla $ign and collaborating with the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Rick RossYoung ThugWale, and Machine Gun Kelly, and growing his musical rapport with his brother MadeInTYO.

    wifisfuneral Chills with the Bride of Chucky in the Disorienting “Been 2 Hell & Back” Video

    Video: wifisfuneral – “Been 2 Hell & Back”

    The South Florida Native and 2018 XXL Freshman Follows Up Leave Me The Fuck Alone EP with a Video for a Highlight From Ethernet Vol. 1, His June Mixtape

    11.15.2018

    Critical Praise:

    XXL Freshman, Class of 2018

    “[wifisfuneral] displays an impressive array of verbal acrobatics, showing off masterful breath control and a rapid fire flow.”  – Pitchfork

    “He’s synthesized the regionless, borderless world of the internet age from which he takes his name, while lacing it with a narcotically addictive flow and a distinct ear for melody that’s allowed him to develop while others stagnate.” – NOISEY

    “The young rapper has a wide range of skills, from agile raps and bass-heavy tracks to dark and moody slow-burners, and his unpredictability is part of his appeal” – Pigeons & Planes

    “Wifisfuneral is becoming a hotter and hotter commodity in the rap world these days, and he’s making sure to prove his skillset as a lyricist in the game.” – XXL

    The Video:

    With an appealingly dark aesthetic and a refined sense of lyricism, wifisfuneral is one of the most complete artists to emerge from the bustling South Florida rap scene. Inviting us for a glimpse into his turbulent mental state, wifisfuneral shares Been 2 Hell & Back,” his latest video. Holing up in his apartment with only a frightening looking, bridal gown-clad doll to keep him company, wifisfuneral wilds out in his new video, energetically bouncing to the music as his eyes glow with purple flame. “Been 2 Hell & Back” is a highlight from Ethernet Vol. 1wifi’s June mixtape, which has over 43 million streams on Spotify. Certain lyrics from “Been 2 Hell & Back” found their way into wifi’s XXL Freshman Freestyle, which reached #1 on YouTube’s trending chart over the summer.

    Faced with fans clamoring for more music after he dropped Ethernet earlier this year, wifi shared the Leave Me The Fuck Alone EP last week. A dark and absorbing collection of four standout tracks, Leave Me The Fuck Alone finds wifi deep into his mental state and unflinchingly reporting what he sees. Wallowing in rich and aqueous sonic worlds created by producers like frequent collaborators Cris Dinero and HenryDaher, the new EP finds wifi mourning lost friends on “Alone as a Facetat,” indulging his pill habit and experimenting with auto-tune in the bouncy “Dangerous,” and flexing his lyrical muscles in “Pain”: “Listen, I was lost a lot/Trapped in hell with no parking spot/No pot to piss, they watched me rot/I was rottin’ in my grave, I thought/But it was back to reality, it kept me soft.” Prior to the EP, wifi shared Ever Seen a Demon,” a bleak and unsettling banger from the EP that amassed over 300K streams in its first week of release after being included on Apple Music’s Breaking Hip-Hop playlist. Featuring an appearance from beta.files and additional production TNO, Leave Me The Fuck Alone EP is available to stream on wifi’s SoundCloud and on all other DSPs.

    An immersive experience equally suited for top-down rides as headphone sessions, Ethernet brings you deep inside the mind of wifisfuneral, as he struggles with his newfound fame, plunges into drug use, and revels in his prodigious talent. Boasting production from wifi’s longtime collaborator Cris Dinero, as well as speaker-knocking instrumentals from the likes of Jahlil BeatsRonny JSmash David, and others, Ethernet is wifi’s most diverse project yet, ranging from minor-key Rhodes burbles on Every Pill In The World,” featuring Uno The Activist, to New Orleans-bounce on the YBN Nahmir-featuring single Juveniles,” which has over 16 million streams on Spotify, to the immersive “LilSkiesFuneral,” which features breakout rapper Lil Skies and racked up over 8.8 million streams on Spotify and 5.41 million plays on SoundCloud. With additional appearances from Brooklyn riser Jay Critch and ATL mainstay Key!Ethernet comes to you via Alamo Records.

    Maxo Kream Explores His Troubled Past & Present in the High-Tech “Roaches” Video

  • Press Release

    Maxo Kream Explores His Troubled Past & Present in the High-Tech “Roaches” Video

    Video: Maxo Kream – “Roaches”

    The Houston Storyteller Brings His Skeletons to Light in the Shomi Patwary-directed Video 

    11.15.2018

    Critical Praise for Maxo Kream:

    “Over the last couple years, Maxo Kream has established himself as one of Houston’s most exciting young rappers by way of being one of Houston’s least traditionally minded artists.” – Noisey

    “A sinister and visceral portrait of Houston street life.” – Pitchfork

    “(Punken) is 44 minutes of some of the best storytelling you’re liable to find this year, broken up into mesmerizing syllabic arrangements.” – The Ringer

    The Video:

    Quickly developing a reputation as the South’s best storyteller, Houston’s Maxo Kream packs evocative details and visceral imagery into his metronomic rhymes. Taking a deep look into traumatic and mundane moments in his past and present, Maxo shares Roaches,” his latest video. The most personal and complete portrait yet of the young rapper, “Roaches” takes an innovative approach towards bringing Maxo’s distinct verses to life. For the first verse, director Shomi Patwary recreates Maxo’s childhood apartment, complete with a rotating cast of his friends and family members, filmed to give the impression of a single shot, with inventive effects highlighting his lyrics. In the second verse, about his family’s struggle through 2017’s destructive Hurricane Harvey, the video evokes Maxo’s scattered state-of-mind, as the screen fills with water and shows news reports from that tumultuous moment in his life. “Roaches” is the climactic moment from the critically lauded album Punken, released by Maxo in January.

    Titled after one of Maxo Kream’s childhood nicknames, Punken takes a deep and revealing look into the rapper’s past, with Maxo mastering his storytelling ability and hypnotic flows atop forward-thinking production. Featuring appearances from Trippie Redd, 03 Greedo, and D. Flowers, and with production from The Wlderness, Beatboy, Sonny Digital, Ethereal, Honorable C Note, $uicideboy$, Tommy Kruise, Wolfe De Mchls, Teddy Walton, and MexikoDroPunken builds upon 2015’s Maxo 187 and 2016’s The Persona Tape with emotionally and sonically diverse tracks sitting side-by-side with insane drug-dealing bangers. In their glowing review of the album, Pitchfork praised the album as “full of unsparing storytelling, pusher anthems, and a dynamic array of trap production over which Maxo delivers some of his most effective writing.”

    Maxo Kream Background:

    Upon meeting him, gangsta rapper isn’t the impression that most would get from buzzing Houston emcee, Maxo Kream, age 27. He has a surprisingly goofy and playful demeanor, often cracking self-aware jokes and displaying a smile which showcases either his gold grin or his trademark gap in the upper row of this teeth. But, make no mistake, Maxo’s backstory is a tale consisting of crime and death that would catch the attention of the most jaded followers of gangsta/trap rap.

    Inspired by his college trip to SXSW and the fact that other street cliques throughout Houston such asFDAB (founded by late rapper T.O.Y, a childhood friend and Crip associate of Maxo) and MashMode(which has now resulted in the buzzing careers of Houston rap duo, The Sauce Twinz) were transitioning into music as a form of expression, Maxo and his younger cousin Lyndon (rap moniker Lyndo C), jumped into music. Maxo’s latest album, Punken, takes a deep and revealing look into the rapper’s past, with Maxo mastering his storytelling ability and hypnotic flows atop forward-thinking production. Featuring appearances from Trippie Redd, 03 Greedo, and D. Flowers, and with production from The Wlderness, Beatboy, Sonny Digital, Ethereal, Honorable C Note, $uicideboy$, Tommy Kruise, Wolfe De Mchls, Teddy Walton, and MexikoDroPunken builds upon 2015’s Maxo 187 and 2016’s The Persona Tape with emotionally and sonically diverse tracks sitting side-by-side with insane drug-dealing bangers.

    OMB Peezy Teams with Hot 97’s DJ Megan Ryte for Lessons From The Pimp EP

  • Press Release

    OMB Peezy Teams with Hot 97’s DJ Megan Ryte for Lessons From The Pimp EP

    EP: OMB Peezy & DJ Megan Ryte – Lessons From The Pimp

    The 300 Ent./Sick Wid It Signee Shares Four Drake-Inspired Freestyles and a Collab with Uncle Murda in This Audiomack-Exclusive EP

    11.14.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “[OMB Peezy] is tough but melodic, with a youthfully urgent voice and production that’s indebted to Louisiana and California.” – New York Times

    “Peezy’s impassioned flow makes the circumstances he’s discussing feel visceral and immediate as a listener; there’s nothing impressionistic about his bars” – Pigeons and Planes

    “This kid from Alabama is the future of rap.” – The FADER

    The EP:

    Hot 97 DJ Megan Ryte joins with OMB Peezy for Lessons From The Pimp EP, the latest edition of her “The 5” series of mixtapes. Each week for five straight weeks, Megan Ryte selects five beats for one of her favorite emcees to freestyle over and creates a brand new EP, each organized around a different theme. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Megan Ryte fell in love with fellow Mobile-native OMB Peezy’s music when she discovered it on YouTube. In Peezy’s music, Megan heard echoes of Pimp C, each rapper spitting hard-earned pearls of street wisdom in an inimitable Southern drawl. Taking inspiration from Peezy’s lyrical and vocal similarity to Pimp C, and his fusion of Bay Area and Deep South rap styles, Megan recruited Peezy to freestyle for her series. For the instrumentals, Megan chose to venture outside of Peezy’s comfort zone, selecting five beats evocative of Drake, an artist who represents the idea of “fusion” in Megan’s mind.

    On Lessons From The Pimp, Peezy freestyles over Drake-inspired instrumentals, delivering perceptive bars about his travails in the legal system and his life in the hood. Asserting her influence behind the boards, Megan punctuates each track with an archived interview from Pimp C, offering a poignant life lesson echoed in Peezy’s freestyled lyrics. Featuring a cover inspired by Drake’s Take Care and featuring a shout out to the late Pimp, Lessons From The Pimp combines the sensibilities of the three wildly different emcees, filtered through the mind of Megan Ryte. The project includes Ignorant Freestyle,” which spawned a music video that came out on Monday via Hot 97’s YouTube Channel and uses the classic Isley Brothers sample from Jay-Z’s “Ignorant Shit” (which itself spawned a classic Drake freestyle), as well as “On My Mind,” a sinister and bouncy original track featuring NYC veteran Uncle Murda. Featuring additional appearances from Lougotcash and Kacyy PlutoLessons From The Pimpis available now exclusively via Audiomack.

    Explains Megan Ryte, “When you’re from the south, I feel like people automatically assume you’re not lyrical. That’s so far from the truth, and Peezy is another example of that.”

    Last week, Megan teamed with Dreamville rapper Cozz for Aftermath of My Dreams, the first entry of “The 5,” in which the L.A. native rhymed over classic instrumentals by Aftermath Entertainment artists, including Eminem and The Game.

    Nearly two years after his debut single “Lay Down” put Peezy on the map, the motormouthed emcee shared Loyalty Over Lovehis debut solo full-length mixtape, in Summer 2018. Stuffed with glistening Dirty South instrumentals, Loyalty Over Love is the culmination of Peezy’s rise, with sharp lyrics about his life as a rising star and his struggles with the legal system. Whether he’s seething at inept law enforcement on the Noisey-premiered Fuck My P.O.,” fiercely asserting his individuality and independence within an oppressive system on “Souljah Life Mentality,” enjoying the spoils of his success in the TK Kravitz-featuring Yeah Yeah,” mourning lost friends in My Dawg,” or paying tribute to the West Coast with the Dr. Dre-referencing and Donny Hathaway-sampling “Ghetto Boy,” Peezy is a magnetic presence, weaving his threats and boasts around hot instrumentals. Featuring additional appearances from Mozzy, Paper Lovee, and OMB Iceberg, Loyalty Over Love arrives via Sick Wid It Records/300 Ent. Peezy treated fans to another revealing glimpse when he shared Behind The Title: Loyalty Over Love, a FADER-premiered mini-doc that explains the main themes behind the album.

    The Background:

    Born in Alabama, the 20-year-old Peezy moved to the west coast when he was 12, developing a reputation as a rap prodigy, building a following on YouTube, and gaining the respect of the new wave of Bay Area artists such as Nef The Pharaoh and legends such as E-40. In 2017, OMB Peezy parlayed his grassroots local fanbase into a national following, earning millions of combined streams on his singles like the virally popular hitsWhen I Was Down,” Porch,” and Lay Down,” which Pigeons & Planes listed at #14 in their halftime list of Best Songs of 2017 and which Passion of the Weiss listed as their #19 for the year. In October, Peezy shared his debut project Humble Beginnings, a slap-heavy six-pack produced in full by Grammy-nominated producer Cardo Got Wingz (Kendrick Lamar, Jeezy, Meek Mill) and released by Sick Wid It/300 Ent. Peezy also toured throughout 2017, supporting Detroit artist Tee Grizzley in the fall and accompanying SOB x RBE on a national tour in the spring. In January, Peezy shared Young & Reckless, a joint mixtape with Peezy’s 300 Ent. labelmate Sherwood Marty, which proved that Peezy’s excellent run of 2017 singles was no fluke.

    Gritty Florida Melodist Rod Wave Shares Kinetic “Jan2Jan” Video

  • Press Release

    Gritty Florida Melodist Rod Wave Shares Kinetic “Jan2Jan” Video

    Video: Rod Wave – “Jan2Jan”

    The Florida Rapper, Praised by Kevin Gates and Moneybagg Yo, Shares a Moving Single-Take Video For a Highlight From Hunger Games 2

    11.13.18

    Critical Praise for Rod Wave:

    If you’re not familiar with the sounds of Rod Wave, he’s certainly one of the most talented acts to come out of Florida in some time.” – The Modern Life Mag

    “One of Florida’s finest musicians”ELEVATOR

    The Video:

    Known for his distinctly gruff and chaotic approach to melody, Florida rapper Rod Wave’s voice overflows with soul and emotion. Pledging his allegiance to the grind and pouring one out for his friends doing time, Rod Wave shares Jan2Jan,” his latest video single. Dominated by plaintive piano chords, “Jan2Jan” is an ideal canvas for Rod’s unique vocal talent, as he twists and stretches syllables in his gruff baritone, crooning one bar and rapping double time on the next. Shot in a single take, the video for “Jan2Jan” follows an inmate in an abusive mental asylum as she attempts to escape, dancing her way through the drab halls and passing a captive Rod Wave in the basement before eventually being apprehended. Hosted on the KONCREATE YouTube channel, “Jan2Jan” is a highlight from Hunger Games 2his buzzing project released in May 2018.

    A rapper from St. Petersburg, Florida, Rod Wave started to build a regional buzz off the strength of his Hunger Games series and collaborations with peers such as GlokkNine. Two of his most recent singles, “Valid,” and “Heart 4 Sale,” have been bubbling in the South, with the former earning a place on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Earning praise from Kevin Gates and Moneybagg Yo for his penchant for catchy melody, Rod is just getting started.

    Lil Durk Squads Up with Gunna & Juice WRLD for the “Don’t Talk To Me” Remix

  • Press Release

    Lil Durk Squads Up with Gunna & Juice WRLD for the “Don’t Talk To Me” Remix

    Remix: Lil Durk – “Don’t Talk To Me” ft. Gunna & Juice WRLD

    The Chicago Street Superstar Revisits a Track from Last Week’s Signed to the Streets 3, Currently Sitting at #5 on Apple Music’s Album Charts

    11.12.2018

    Critical Praise:

    “Unshackled from any kind of outline, Durk’s pen game shines. His rise was dotted with blood-soaked tales that summarized much of drill’s appeal: ground-level glimpses at Chicago’s South Side that colored in the outline offered by grim murder statistics.” –Pitchfork

    “Lil Durk continues to be one of the most consistent rappers out.” – The FADER

    “the rose that blossomed from the concrete of Chi-Town’s drill music scene” – Billboard

    The Remix:

    The culmination of a five-year rise from underground sensation to mainstream star, Lil Durk pulled out all the stops for Signed To The Streets 3his new album. Adding a new guest verse to a highlight from the album, Lil Durk shares Don’t Talk To Me” (Remix). The second track on the project, produced by Chopsquad DJ and Wheezy and featuring ad-libs and a standout verse from Gunna, “Don’t Talk To Me” is a vicious missive against Durk’s haters: “I can’t get enough of it, all of this jealousy/I had a petty bitch, you can do better things,” sings Durk in the chorus. For the remix, Lil Durk recruits Juice WRLD, a fellow Chicago rapper whose debut project Goodbye and Good Riddance is one of the biggest rap albums of the year. With a refined melodic approach heavily influenced by Durk, Juice WRLD is a natural fit over the beat, providing an excellent counter-melody to Durk’s chorus. Featuring additional guest spots from Future Kevin GatesTy Dolla $ign, Kodak Black, Lil Skies, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Signed to the Streets 3 released last Friday via Alamo/Interscope, and peaked at #3 on Apple Music’s all-genre album streaming charts over the weekend.

    A continuation of a series that began with Durk’s 2013 breakout mixtape Signed to the Streets, released when he was 21-years-old, Signed To The Streets 3 is a coronation for Lil Durk, affirming his position as a major rap star and confirming his influence on a new generation of melodic street rappers. Drawing guests from across hip-hop’s generational and geographical spectrum, Durk welcomes them all into his world in STTS 3, providing stark perspectives of street life with a strong emotional center, enhanced by Durk’s superlative sense of melody. The new album gives a home to popular previously-released singles like the Complex-premiered “Play With Us,” featuring Kevin Gates, the Future-featuring “Spin The Block,” which has over 16.5 million views on YouTube, “Downfall,” with guest spots from Young Dolph and Lil Baby, the slow-burning hit “Home Body,” featuring Gunna and TK Kravitz, which has over 7.4 million plays on Spotify and is currently burning up rap radio, “Rockstar,” the album’s closing track which features an appearance from Lil Skies, and the recently released Neighborhood Hero,” which will soundtrack a series of videos in which Durk and other artists, including Meek MillTrae Tha Truth, and Nipsey Hussle, highlight their efforts towards improving their communities. Catch “Neighborhood Hero” on Spotify’s Off The Strength playlist, featuring Lil Durk on the playlist’s cover.

    Signed to the Streets 3 closes out an epic 2018 for Lil Durk, marked by multiple mixtapes, a label change from Def Jam to Alamo, a move from Chicago to Atlanta, and, just this month, the birth of his youngest child with his fiancé India. In March, he released his first project since departing Def Jam, Just Cause Y’all Waited, an important transitional record for Durk. Praised by Pitchfork, who wrote “Lil Durk writes about Chicago the way Joan Didion once captured California,” Just Cause Y’all Waited features tracks such as the buzzing 1-773 Vulture,” a street remix to Logic’s hit single “1-800-273-8255” that reached the 9 million view mark on YouTube, and the Lil Baby-featuring lead single “How I Know,” which earned prominent placement on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Featuring additional appearances from PartyNextDoor, Ty Dolla $ignGunna, and TK Kravitz, and with production from 808 Mafia and others, Just Cause Y’all Waited EP is a formidable appetizer for Signed to the Streets 3. Lil Durk turned heads when he performed his hits in a prime time slot, and later joined Tee Grizzley onstage at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami (catch a few clips from this performance and from backstage in the “Remembrance” video) and recently showed off his label signees with Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1

    Velvet-Voiced NYC Native David Lee Shares “Right There” With Kindred Spirit PnB Rock

    Video: David Lee – “Right There” ft. PnB Rock

    The Recent Republic Records Signee Luxuriates with Models on Rooftops in the Video for a Scorching Club Anthem

    11.9.2018

    The Video:

    A native of New York’s Lower East Side, David Lee creates a smooth and melodic strain of street rap. Showing off his soaring vocals in harmony with collaborator PnB Rock, David Lee blasts his way into pop territory with Right There,” his new single. Providing a thrilling balance of rhythm and melody over Afropop-inflected percussion and subtle vox synths, “Right There” is a romantic and sensual new track, with David Lee and PnB Rock declaring their eager willingness to receive a late night call from the object of their affections: “Girls don’t waste my time/Girl, I won’t waste your time/You can just hit my line/And I’ll be right there.” In the video, David Lee and Rock party on rooftops in David’s home neighborhood by night, and spend time with gorgeous models by day.

    Building a massive following in his city with his supernatural sense of hooks and his relatable persona, David Lee is a new type of New York rapper. Earlier in 2018, David Lee captured the ear of Republic Records, the label behind The Weeknd and Post Malone, with his stellar single Mattress,” and its charming pajama-clad video. Last month, David Lee struck gold with “Two,” his new collaborative single with OhGeesy of L.A.’s ShorelineMafia, which has over 1 million YouTube views in less than three weeks. Stay tuned for much more from the 19-year-old artist as he continues to build his following on both coasts and everywhere in between.
