Check out Ryder Muzik, the second album from Edgefield,…

      South Carolina emcee Continental GT makes a return with his latest single “Label Me”. Throughout the track he displays some very clever wordplay while simultaneously naming just about every single historic hip hop record label in history. The result is pretty dope. Production is handled by Mazik. “Label Me” is featured on SheBloggin.com’s The…

      Elevator Jay returns with a new self-produced track. Still no word on when the Charlotte emcee will release a new project though. Let’s just hope that between “Clear My Throat” and  the jammin’ “Soular System“, we’ll be getting something new soon. “Clear My Throat” — Run That Back: Elevator Jay — “Turn On”.
