This Summer’s heat wasn’t enough for Recording Artist Khxos as he turned on every stove, fireplace, and broke the Thermostat on “Advertising The Truth“. Borrowing the Instrumental to American Hip Hop Duo BlackStar’s “Respiration“, Khxos fires off on how the truth is not respected nowadays, making dumb people famous, false promises, never letting anyone take his dreams, and dropping more knowledge in his music. Not even a Deep Freezer can keep this on chill right now. “So much on my mind that I can’t recline“. Expect more Khxos music very soon but for now, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
In your circle of friends, you always have to make sure that each member is a person of respect and today I-Octane speaks on that in “No Shaky Link“. The video, which was directed by Jay Parpworth (known for shooting for Safaree/Stunt Gang Films), shows Octane surrounding by his crew and states what they’ll never be capable of doing. Featuring cameo appearances from the likes of Esco Da Shocker and DJ Foota Hype, Octane promotes camaraderie, respect, and “No shakiness“.

The First Coast continues to make noise today as 1/4 of The Council, The Sickest Drama, aims to illuminate your 3rd eye with “Step Into The Light“. Produced by Damien Beatz, “TS, no BS, only sip V/X” is charged up as he’s on the path to show listeners that the mumble Rap needs to meet the trashcan. With an array of consciousness over the smooth Production, TSD shows that not only can he switch up the flow, but take the listeners far and wide with the lyrics! “Step Into The Light” is the first release off his upcoming project, and a possible teaser of what he’s to bring off the debut project from The Council. For some reason I’ve heard the opening bars of the hook a couple years ago (Was it from a freestyle TSD?). Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Recording Artist Toian. After her hiatus of sorts, she returns with a brand new single titled, “Ride The Wave“! Here she’s in need of some “ramping“, and she needs you to get to her as fast as possible. They say when a woman needs love and affection, there shouldn’t be any long delays, and Toian has been waiting for a long time for you. As she brings a smooth delivery to the wavy Production, she adds a Lyric Video that showcases her Siren like moves to have you in her grasp. A single that has been gaining some buzz thanks to its infectious melody and an appearance on one of Comedian Prince Pine’s videos, you can “Ride The Wave” by getting it on iTunes! Can you handle the ride? Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

As if the summer isn’t hot enough, Dancehall Artist Mr. Lexx has added a little more steam with his single “Bad Boys” making this summer at least ten times hotter. The song, featuring El Freaky from out of Colombia, currently sits at number one on the Los 40 chart, which is one of the biggest and most reputable charts in the country.
The song has been doing tremendously in Latin America, getting regular rotations on popular Radio stations and has been a favourite for many club DJs. The “Crown Prince of Dancehall” looks forward to an upcoming tour in South America where he will be performing this song and other great hits. Lexx has been working assiduously on some new projects that he will be releasing later this year, includinga new album. Additionally, he is promoting his love song “Struck by Love” for which he uses his real name, Christopher Palmer.
