"Becoming" by Gnos-tel-jah (Rap Artist from California (CA))

Hip-Hop takes a strange trip with Gnos-Tel-Jah and their latest album of original (and we mean original) material on "Becoming." Comprised of 2 male vocalists and 1 female vocalist, Gnos-Tel-Jah offers up a psychedelic ride of Hip-Hop fused with rock and spoken word. "Midnight Swang" represents the rap side to their debut disc with easy flowing rhymes and is reminiscent of the group Outkast. When you break it all down, Rap/Hip-Hop is basically spoken words with beats underlying the phrases. The band shows their love for this genre with 13 "chapters" which are 13 separate spoken tracks. Any fan of Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, or of spoken word will thoroughly enjoy "Becoming" as it is a new and innovating CD.

RadioIndy is pleased to present 2nd chance with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Lord Hear My Prayer"

RadioIndy is pleased to present 2nd chance with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Lord Hear My Prayer"

"Lord Hear My Prayer" is the debut two-song EP from Christian hip-hop artist Second Chance. Second Chance's story is one of overcoming all odds, coming close to dying over and again, repeatedly surviving, and finding God. These two songs showcase the new life, the "Second Chance", of a former gang member. Through clean, original, and well-delivered hip-hop vocals, Second Chance delivers inspirational and encouraging songs of love, of others, of yourself, and of God. The recording quality of "Lord Hear My Prayer" is great, adhering to the full potential of the great hip-hop arrangements and lyrics. The title track, "Lord Hear My Prayer" has a smooth r&b opening then moves into a great hip-hop arrangement with intimate lyrics between Second Chance and God, also featuring the smooth and soulful backing vocals of Brenton Wood. "There's Something About Your Love" has a funky arrangement with a nice beat, with another inspiring vocal from Second Chance and great synthesized backing vocals from Rufas Troutman. This two-song EP is a great introduction to Second Chance and leaves the listener in eager anticipation for more. Fans of hip-hop with largely Christian-oriented positive messages, give Second Chance a shot.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Mirrico with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Grown Woman's Business"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Mirrico with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Grown Woman's Business"

"Grown Woman's Business" is the debut album from female hip hop/ R&B artist Mirrico. The first thing listeners will notice about Mirrico is the sheer power in her vocal delivery. Her lyrical content is hard and she doesn't back down in any way whatsoever. In other words, this album is intense and features street credibility that you don't often see from a female hip hop artist. The sequences behind her voice compliment nicely. Her sound features classic hip hop elements mixed with a little techno and gangsta rap. It's a great combination that will, without a doubt, get the blood pumping. The production value is also very good and these songs are radio ready. Highlights are "The Way It Is," which has a sneaky intro that makes way into a great hook and powerful vocal performance that pushes the words into your ears and out of your mouth, and "Alligators." "Alligators" has a huge beat, big sound, and is headed straight for the clubs. Be sure to check out the remix as well. "Dip It Low" exudes sexuality with a nice groove and seductively blunt lyrics. If you enjoy talented, controversial hip hop, be sure to check out "Grown Woman's Business."

"Bout That Time" by Young Memphis (Rap Artist from Georgia(GA))

Talented producer/rapper/writer Young Memphis shows off all of his creative skills on his latest release, "Bout That Time." This album stands out amongst current hip/hop albums with its well written bump and grind beats and underground rap sound. The opening track, "So Sexxy" lets you know exactly what Young Memphis is all about and demonstrates his easy flowing rhymes. "Murders & Robbers" is quite the tribute to other rappers like Scarface or T.I. with a classic gangster sound. Although a select number of tracks feature some suggestive lyrics, any fan of rap will dig the driving beats with synth sounds under it on "Bout That Time."
