Hello, HHNMers! If you’ve paid attention to a couple of interviews recently, you’ll know that there’s been conversation about the role of DJs in Hip-Hop, whether they should support new music or just play what’s already buzzing. Stro and B. Dot believe that DJs should be discovering records. Regardless of where that stands, one place you can always come to look for new artists is our Saturday Spotlight series. This week, we’re proud to present Souls Of Liberty, Major Myjah, Gerb The Point Guard, Supreme Ace and Caleborate. Enjoy!
Remember: We take submissions for this series. Please see guidelines here.
Souls Of Liberty
Souls Of Liberty is an independent Rap duo consisting of Ryan Escobar and Tenelle Donta from out of St. Louis. They hit the scene with a new single called ‘Aretha’, named after Aretha Franklin who is sampled by Klevah!, the producer. It’s a soulful cut and is a taste of a full project which you can expect to arrive some time next year. Listen to the single below.
Major Myjah
Major Myjah is from Miami and is the son of Dancehall artist Bounty Killer but he refuses to stay in is father’s shadow. Major released his Trouble EP just yesterday and here’s a cut from it, ‘Headed For The Dark’. A quick listen is enough to let you know that the young boy can sing. Check out the Complex premiere below.
Gerb The Point Guard
Gainesville, Florida native Gerb The Point Guard is going to work on his new single for which the beat is laced by big-name producer Zaytoven. If you need some motivation and are a fan of the new wave of Atlanta and their sound, look no further. Take a listen to ‘Go 2 Work’ just below.
Supreme Ace
Supreme Ace hails from Denver but he takes it out of state for his new track and grabs some assistance from Tennessee’s Case Arnold and JACE of Two-9 who is from Atlanta. They all put their best foot forward for some ‘Fly Rap’ produced by Chemist which is well worth your time.
Caleborate
Caleb Parker is a rapper from the West Coast who is better known as Caleborate. He recently grabbed from several of his life experiences like rapping at 16 and being in College and poured them into a 12 track album called Hella Good. Pigeons And Planes premiered the project but you can stream it below.
