EP: Young Von – Always Remember
For a while now, Young Von has slipped through the cracks in terms of a warranted, need-to-know Houston emcee. He doesn’t exclude himself to one particular portion of the city, more of a wanderer who adopts many. A youthful rapper with plenty of ego driven, bravado pumped in the veins material, his latest full length [...]
EP: Ski Beatz – Blu Tops
Was anybody anticipating the dojo to be open today? Not me. Ski and his massive collection of material that hasn’t seen the light of day (ask Stalley) step out on a warm Monday with Cam’Ron, Vado & McKenzie Eddy in tow. Blu Tops only lasts for five tracks but in typical Ski fashion, all of [...]

Tunk – No Defeat (f. Paris Pershun of A.Dd+)
Dallas’ own Tunk flanks A.Dd+ in the same way Cool Breeze stayed around the Dungeon Family for all those years, a supporting character more than capable of stepping into the spotlight and snatching stardom for himself. His entire No Defeat EP comes on the heels of a resurrection for Dallas hip-hop, a percussion heavy concoction [...]
