rap
Rhythm and Poetry; rap music is a genre centered around speaking truth to power with style.
Area57 Music Group Masterminded By "Houston Hip-Hop Veteran Tink"
IN his varied forms from an underground Houston ghetto to an internationally recognized trend and commercial industry, hip hop has imagination and innovation at its heart. Either musician manufacture new musical instruments from record players, wave spoken words mysteriously over rhythms, or now use digital media to create collaboration networks; imagination is a cultural trait and continues to be relevant today.

What WAP Really Means
Ever since it first premiered on VH1 I had been enthralled with the drama, the heartbreak, and the absolute, mostly unintended hilarity of the cast of Love and Hip Hop. Mona Scott Young had assembled a mix of hip hop hopefuls and has-beens to create either a jumping-off point for a comeback or a career graveyard. Someone who had taken full advantage of this platform, along with Remy Ma, is one Cardi B. The snaggletooth stripper was initially taken as a joke by fans and a good amount of her other cast members but mylanta, did she show everyone up. She is now one of the most successful alums of the show.

XVI— Raw and Unapologetic
Raw and unapologetically honest, XVI (pronounced 16th) brings his life, love and tribulations into every verse he raps. Growing up on 16th Avenue in a tough neighborhood of East Bradenton, Florida (where XVI indubitably got his name), XVI found himself in and out of public schools and detention centers. "Eat or be eaten" was the mantra he lived by which became his truth and a byproduct of growing up in such strenuous of environments. It wasn't until moving to Clearwater where his life took a new turn, finding himself among other music innovators that took notice of XVI's musical talent. These relationships helped set a foundation for XVI to harness his musical skill and create a platform to release his music. Known for his attention to detail, intricate word plays, and concept driven raps, XVI continues to personify his journey through his music.

The Trap Age: 2020’s Is the Best Decade for Music (So Far)
Listen to the thump. The lyrics are like scenes from gunfights in the streets of Wilmington, Delaware, Altanta, Georgia Chicago, Illinois, Los Angeles, California, or New York City, New York. These places all have experienced spikes in violence during this COVID-19 pandemic. The demonstrations continue. So what is the soundtrack to all of this? The greatest decade for music, the Roaring 20’s...2.0. This is the Trap Age.

Casso Dwayne
Tell us a little about you Casso: Casso Dwayne is my stage name some of you may or may not know me. So here’s little insight on my musical journey and life experience that got me to the point of life I am now. I originally wanted to just draw and paint, I mean music was always apart of me but at the time I was more intrigued with that type of art. I learned quickly that I wanted to make music after being inspired by artists such as Lil Wayne, 50 cent, Ludacris, Nelly and pretty much every mainstream artist from the early 2000s. I always felt that If I became rich like these guys I would be in a position to help others and take care of my family, as crazy as it may sound that’s still the goal till this day. I wrote my first rap probably around the age of 7. By the time I was 15 I was able to physically stop writing raps. Being influenced by artists like Lil Wayne not having to write down his raps with pen and paper but able to memorize his words and build from there. Music and art has always been a passion of mine. With my family packing up and leaving Illinois and moving to Atlanta my chances of actually being able to live out my dreams were greater. Moving to Decatur Georgia at such a young age I was able to form some really good relationships with some amazing artists. At the age of 17 me and two of my friends formed at rap group (Top3) although it wasn’t long-standing it was an great opportunity and gave me a lot insight on the music world. Shortly after I became a solo artist and began to explore the music world more, I also had a chance to work with more creatives in the city. In 2018 I released my first song on SoundCloud entitled (Rollin Stone ft Antiii). After the release of my first song I gained a little momentum and a small following. Unfortunately due to some personal issues I didn’t come out with any music the following year outside of songs that I had been featured on by other artist that I’ve worked with. Fast forward to July 4th 2020 I released the first song that I’ve ever had on ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS. My song (Beautiful Colors ft January Sky) has been doing really well and has been opening a lot of doors so far. I have so much more in the works and also finishing up my first project that I will exclusively say here is entitled “Angel Time”. I Honestly feel that this project will open a lot of doors for me and will create a lot of opportunity. The amount of time I’m putting into this project is insane and I’m almost certain that everyone will recognize my effort once the whole project is wrapped up and you all get to hear it. The amazing part about making music is the fact you’re free to express yourself. Creating something to give to the world is basically a gift and I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I move forward with my goals,dreams and aspirations I just hope to remain humble and fearless. One of my favorite quotes are “The only sin is Limitation”. I live by that and try to instill these same morals into others. Every since a young age I’ve always felt like there was is more to life. That’s applied to everything including financially and I thinks time to show my family that it’s possible.

Rapper Don Diddy Is Making A Difference In The Rap Game
Don Diddy raised in Akwesasne Ontario Canada. Growing up in his small town Don made a lot of enemies by making multiple diss tracks on other local artists in his town. When he first broke in the scene he had the competitive nature to be the “best rapper alive.” Realizing there was way too many other people in the art form he changed his ways and decided to apologize to all the artists he dissed with one of his latest songs, “Dear Everyone I’ve Dissed.” One of Don’s most heart warming tracks and you could definitely tell he speaks from the heart with this one.With the rawness and the emotion in his voice you could really tell he means every word. Besides from that Don has been making bigger moves but unfortunately he’s ran into controversy and he released a snippet with the late Juice WRLD. People been assuming the whole thing was a hoax but that isn’t true at all. Don previewed on his story that it was a Remix with the late Juice WRLD and the original song came from the Syracuse native Jeremy Romance. Either way both songs have the Juice WRLD’s verse on both versions, end of the day it’ll be what the fans pick which one they will want to listen to more. Romance’s version of Put Me Down or Don’s version of Put Me Down, either way you they both make fantastic music and can’t wait to see what else Don Diddy is going to.

Rap King : Hot Rapper On The Radar
My Name is Elijah Williams Aka The One And Only Rap King. I am a Hip Hop artist from Harlem New York. I started making music back in the 8th grade. I always had an Idea that my voice was meant for something and I wasn’t expecting music to be that platform I used to share my voice and talk about certain topics that I felt like should be discussed. I was a poet at the time and I started to see how my flow and my playfulness with words was. One of my friends was like hey you should get into rapping. I said it could be worth a shot. One day we was in class and he showed me an app called soundcloud were I can listen and record music. I downloaded the app, and when I got home I did freestyles to certain beats and recorded it through the app. I was getting plays but I wanted to understand more about how music is supposed to be made. High school I learned a lot. I got notice and that was when I got ask to a lot of shows in the school and I learned how to make beats and produce my own beats and write to them. I was building my craft as my years of high school was passing by. I was dropping test projects after test projects and it did work but it wasn’t me. When I went to college in 2018 I understand more about the album process. I learned that any album that you work on has to be something about you. My first ever debut official album called heartbreak and love was the start. The album is a story about my relationship experiences. It takes you on a journey when I was getting out of the toxic relationship to now finding someone that is special to me that is showing me different from my ex. I drop that on audiomack before I put it on the main stream in 2019. My second album Vulgar went on the mainstream. I released that on my birthday on January 24th. That album was to tell two stories. The first story was about me being a musical artist who raps and how he has been doubted on through the times he was producing content to shared with people, and how I persevere through all the negativity that was thrown my way. The second story is to tell that artist use cussing words to express their emotions and feelings. You shouldn’t have to hold and try to say things the clean way. Let people understand you by saying your feelings the way you want to. My third album Heartbreak and love 2 was the second installment to the series. I told a story about how I dated this girl for a month and I feel in love. We broke up due to family issues and we got back together during the new year of 2019. After that album it gave people the idea that I am next up in the industry. My 4th album the story of Elijah was to talk about my journey from when I came from college to figure out my life and not letting anyone stop me from achieving my dreams. My 5th album summertime was to create hits for the summer that people can vibe too. The 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th albums shows the growth of me as an artist. My end goal is to established myself as an artist who help people lives change for the better.
