St. Even (@StEvenISP) Ft. Rock Dolo (@RockDolo) — “It’s Nothing (I’m On It)”
Columbia, SC’s St. Even sounds seems like it’s changed. Listening to a few of his old cuts like “Tell Me Why” or “The Ride” and then comparing it to his latest track, the new music sounds more like that “turn up”. Maybe it’s just me tho. The track will appear on St. Even’s upcoming album Sinners…

Spiff Kidz (@SpiffKDZ) Ft. DJ B Lord (@DJBLord) — “Get It Girl”
Spiff Kidz are a group of six teens out of Florence, SC who’s been making party music for the past two years or so. They have gotten a pretty firm grip on SC’s high school and college crowd over that timeframe. “Get It Girl” is Spiff Kidz’ latest single since their Carolina hit “Twerk That” and…

Benjamin Starr (@Benny_Starr) — “Stay” (Video)
2013 has been pretty quiet for Pineville, SC’s Benjamin Starr. We haven’t seen any new material since his extremely live Guns-N-Roses mixtape, which was also on the The Top Carolina Hip Hop Releases Of 2012 list. Matter fact, if I’d been ranking releases last year, G-N-R would have been #2, definitely no lower than #3. Benny…

Royal-Tee (@IAmRoyalTee1) — “Better Than Yesterday”
Charlotte-based emcee Royal-Tee will be releasing a new EP before the end of 2013, and this track will be featured on it. Dig how his music is always no frills, reality rap. Ironically, that’s the title of the new project too — Reality Rap. This cut is kinda piano jazzy and produced by Jenova 7.…

EP Review: Dirty Dave (@DirtyDaveDDE) ‘Dirty Dave’
There’s going to be a day when somebody finally gets serious, produces then release a documentary on Charleston’s hip hop cultural roots. When (if?) that happens, it’s going to be a very interesting piece. Especially the part about Chucktown’s independent music scene. Names that’ll be mentioned include Pachino Dino, Monster Music, Southern Bloodline Records, Mista…

Mixtape Review: Rapsody (@RapsodyMusic) Gangsta Grillz ‘She Got Game’ Hosted By DJ Drama (@DJDrama)
What is this generally accepted edict within hip hop right now, where when an album has been out 24 hours or less, it is either deemed a classic or total trash? Can a fan/critic/hip hop connoisseur truly provide an unbiased review of a project after just one listen? Those questions won’t be answered with today’s…
