Recently, Nashville rappers Ganz and Lil Queze linked for an incredibly hard track and paired it with an energetic video for their track “SKE Demons,” and this pair is lighting the streets of Nashville on fire with this drop. The duo is two artists at the forefront of Nashville’s dense underground rap climate and it is only a matter of time before one of these kids blows up on a much larger scale. I am a huge fan of this track’s hook and it was immediately glued to my brain after one listen and hope that these two can continue … Continue reading Ganz and Lil Queze have a new banger on their hands | #Music

Junia-T and Elijah Dax recently linked for a soulful track that we covered on ELEVATOR earlier this summer, but recently the emotive offering was turned into a visual starring the Chattanooga artist Elijah Dax, as well as the producer of the track, Toronto’s Junia-T and the video portion was masterfully executed. I am really glad that the video came out so perfectly and hope that this pair will collaborate much more in the future.

Atlanta artist Paul Maxwell recently linked with Atlanta pillar Father for a raucous, experimental new video for Maxwell’s track “BLOODSTAIN$” that is both sonically intriguing and masterfully edited with interesting visual effects, dreamy settings, and distorted VHS camera shots. This instrumental is hard-slapping and avant-garde, falling closer to a punk track than your standard Atlanta rap song. Paul Maxwell is an Atlanta rapper to keep an eye on and I am eager to see what he does next.

First Beige is one of my favorite indie bands on the come up currently, and their new track “Desire” is a musical masterpiece and is a true sonic cornucopia of sorts. The track has an unabashed funk element with a rousing bass line and up-tempo percussion to match, but a flashing synth pattern or flute harmony will pass through every now and again, just to fuck with things and elevate their sound to previously uncharted waters. These guys are unbelievably talented and “Desire” is very much unlike what I have ever heard before. Stream “Desire” here: Continue reading First Beige’s new funky, sonically diverse single is a must-listen | #Music

Maryland artist Knyves Escobar lands in the ELEVATOR pages today because of her enchanting new track release titled “Phantom Limb,” and her fluttering vocals are both haunting and inspiring all at the same time. Her range is highly impressive and her vocals convey a great deal of emotion that are extremely attractive in her alt-r&b lane. While her following is quite slim at the moment, her talent is massive enough to thrust her into the spotlight in the near future. I am really excited about the future of Knyves Escobar. Stream “Phantom Limb” here: Continue reading Knyves Escobar dazzles on her new track “Phantom Limb” | #Music

Washington, DC rapper Baby Fifty has been skyrocketing up radars lately as his energy-packed YouTube videos have taken both the streets of DC and the internet by storm. His mellow, laid-back grimy bars are equal parts impressive and terrifying and Baby Fifty is only getting better musically as he continues releasing music. I really hope to see him continue this ascenscion in the future and think he might just be the next star out of the District. Watch “Quit On Me” here: Continue reading Baby Fifty cannot stop releasing hard videos | #Music

Atlanta underground titans ATL Smook and 10k Dunkin recently collided for yet another collaboration between each other and their chemistry is only growing as they make more and more music together. Their new track “Early” is rattling and driven by a spacey synth pattern that adds a totally new layer of atmosphere to the track. I am eager to see what else these two have up their sleeves. Watch “Early” here: Continue reading 10kDunkin and ATL Smook unveil their new video for “Early” | #Music

I am not going to lie, when I first saw Leesta rapping on twitter (although I was previously familiar with some of his production work), I immediately thought it would be the next twitter fad or meme, but wow I was wrong. Recently, he linked yet again with the incredibly talented Loesoe and this pair is rapidly becoming one of my favorite duos in all of the rap scene. Leesta shines with his vocals on this track and is only getting better and better with his flows and the chemistry between Loesoe and Leesta is undeniable. Stream “blah blah blah” … Continue reading Leesta and Loesoe link for yet another banger | #Music
