AntBanks380 Brings Honest Praise With Psalms 118

AntBanks380 unleashes a track that had me spinning at first. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and then the song really took off into a whole new territory of hip hop. The song “Psalms 118” is a mix of singing and rapping, and it’s all in praise of God. Often times Christian music, especially hip hop is not very good. Some of it is downright awful, and the MC’s are just not good at what they are doing. This is not one of those times, as you get a feeling for that grit and honesty that you would expect from the underground, pointed to the sky instead.

I like the flow of the rhymes, the sincerity in the singing and the message overall. If a Christian musician or artist is worthwhile, I will give them props, and that’s deserving for AntBanks380. Wearing hearts on your sleeve as a musician is tough, but that’s what you get here with a message that is aimed to the masses and relevant as ever. “Psalms 118” takes a path less traveled and unites it in a good way, bringing quality rhymes, singing that testifies the belief in God, and presents it in a good overall package.

It’s a good track, and something worth paying attention to. AntBanks380 has a bright future mixing positive elements with eclectic rhyme schemes and more. You’ll find this to be a talented start to something more down the line, I’m sure. It’s refreshing to hear positivity in hip hop, and I’ll always recommend sincere MC’s that are talking about more than the general topics that bog down rap at times.

Check out AntBanks380’s track on iTunes here, and keep your eyes and ears open for more music from this promising artist.

10K Drops A Killer Track With Fresh White Tees

10K comes out swinging with the latest catchy hip hop song you’re going to absolutely love. I’ve heard a lot of rap and hip hop tracks this year already, but a lot of it is just boring. The rhymes are just repetition, or the words just get slurred across some mediocre beats. But this, this is pretty cool, 10K drops a story rhyme that is all out catchy, and fun. 10K goes across several different thoughts in just 2 minutes and 58 seconds of music, never letting up and continually processing consciousness with rhyming ability. You’ll get hit hard up front, and by the first chorus, you’re going to be singing along. This is the type of song that really showcases a good ear for beats, rhyme schematics, and professional flow. 10K is no slacker here, he throws down as many adjectives and ideas as he can without losing the audience. Often time’s when rappers have a lot to say, they speed it up and try too hard to spit out as many sentences as possible, but not here. Here it’s a bit laid...

2KX Create A Lavish Musical Framework Beyond Comparison

Image
I know it’s my job to compare musical acts and try to paint a picture as to what they are doing so that you can go and buy the record and check them out, but every now and again artists are beyond just one genre and above any simple terminology. It’s paying disservice for me to call the latest release from 2KX anything other than a masterpiece. Fronted by Lisa LaRue, this is a release of progressive rock and is like nothing I’ve heard in a long time. Yes, there are other prog rock bands out there, but this release is a cataclysmic exemplification of art, and not just music. With the release of “Sussuration”, you get elements of every type of musical genre, but it’s like a work of art, seamless in the integral elements that make this worth picking up. I was floored by the pieces, and really found myself in awe at the precision at which every element comes together. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and once you hear the record, you understand the pieces fit to make sure that this makes...

The Bloody Jug Band Launches A Contender For Best Record of 2015 With Rope Burn

Image
Best Album Art of 2015! As far as creative bands are concerned, The Bloody Jug Band just hit my radar with full force. This type of alternative rock music is one of the reasons why I love music in the first place. With their release of “Rope Burn”, they truly put down a record that is going to be on my top 10 records of 2015. It starts off a bit slow with “Volfkiller”, then it spirals out of control with some amazing elements. Mixing strong guitar driven melodies, interesting narratives in the lyrics, and strong vocals, this is a record that opens up like a horror movie and comes through with grindhouse precision, only a bit more polished. There’s a “country” vibe that you get from some of the tracks, but it seems to be more in the way the lyrics are delivered. Strong and story filled, you are going to want to close your eyes and pay attention to the words. There’s a lot going on here, a story that is very easy to follow with each hand. A strong blues and country mix with strong ...
