Mistah Wilson lists 3 Hip Hop Producers who make consistently good beats.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and as the itis, (food induced drowsiness for those who don’t know) begins to wear off, there’s a particular calm that accompanies the chaotic mood that tends to take over the season. It’s that exact feeling that lead me to give the album Sound Shape Color by Universal Language a listen. Still currently in the days of ignorance promoted and mumble rap being the expression, Universal Language’s album is the antithesis of it. Sonically pleasing and lyrically complex without being too verbose, their album “Sound Shape Color” possess’s a trackless that allows you as the listener to not only catch their vibe, but allows you to join in on riding the wave that they have created. With production that harkens back to the day of Digable Planets mixed with a sound that makes a group like Cunninlynguists stand out, Universal language has managed to merge the 2 while still taking it in their own direction without sounding like a knockoff. While not for everyone, this...

Having offered an exploration into the more vulnerable sides of his persona with his last 2 singles ‘Baby Boy’ and ‘Mercy,’ pre kai ro’s latest offering in the single “Ten Outa Ten” is one that revolves mainly around a showcasing of his newly unhinged levels of bravado. The singer/songwriter seamlessly blends elements of Hip Hop, R&B and Trap music as he successfully revisits his mood in his late 2018 single ‘Blink Twice’ – a more aggressive stance regarding his relationship with love, lust and his position in the music game (Blink Twice is now approaching 1 million streams on Spotify).

The next song “Hemophobia” talks about murder over an airy trap beat & while I love how slow the track “Keep Ya Voice Down” is, it’s way too short. The song “Throw It All Away” gets reflective over a pretty acoustic instrumental whereas the track “Isolation” vents about being alone over a cold trap beat. The song “In My Basement” talks about kidnapping a woman over a nocturnal trap beat while the track “Monster” speaks on what he has become over a spacey trap ...

This is the 3rd EP from New York rapper, writer, chef & television presenter Action Bronson . Who blew up with release of his first 2 studio albums Dr. Lecter & Well-Done in 2011. This resulted in a joint venture with VICE Music & Atlantic Records along with a couple EPs & mixtapes. The most notable being the Blue Chips duology, Saab Stories & my personal favorite: Rare Chandeliers . Then came Bronson’s major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015 which has some of his best songs on there, but the end result would be a more glitzy mixed bag. Bronson’s next effort Blue Chips 7000 would go back to his mixtape roots & it would be his final release on VICE/Atlantic, as he would go onto form the EMPIRE distributed Action Bronson Corporation last year & debuted the imprint with the solid yet somewhat rushed White Bronco . Other than that, Bronson has put out very little music throughout 2019. But with Thanksgiving next week, he has decided to get back with The...
