The Real Laww (@TheRealLaww) — “Ninjas in DURM” (Video)
Durham, NC's The Real Laww (and his counterpart Toon) has a good lock down on the RDU college scene, especially at Duke University. The duo created the DURM Hip Hop Summit last summer — which was a sold out event, a coup for a college town that's pretty much dead between late May-mid August —…

Blacc Zacc (@BlaccZaccDME) — “Presidents” (Video)
Last week The State's Otis Taylor released his list of the top hip hop artists in South Carolina. As lists in hip hop tend to do, there was a lot of disagreements and discussions on his choices. I thought the list was pretty comprehensive, since five of the artists on the list had made some…

Raleigh, NC resident Cyrano Sinatra has some pretty good features on his upcoming album Back 2 Lyfe. So far there’s been Skyzoo and Rapper Big Pooh.

Alpha Male Society (@AMSOCMusic) — “Marvelous” (Video)
I was wondering when the NC/VA emcee collective of Alpha Male Society was going to put some visuals with their music. Over the course of 2011 and 2012 they released a couple of pretty dope EPs but if you weren’t familiar with what they looked like then you really didn’t know who you were listening…
