RAW ELEMENTS
Originating from Baltimore, MA, Raw Elements uses a unique blend of old school production and new school lyrics to provide an infectious flow we can sing along to. While opening for some of the biggest headlines that come to Dallas, TX, this 19 yr old rapper is on the rise and has a penchant for low-key, smooth beats, which make his music all the better to vibe to. The eloquence and vivid imagery of this lyricist’s flows make him an artist to watch out for. (via Victoria Barkate)
AARON TARRANT
This 16 year old Emcee not only drops verses, but also produces his own beats. Judging from his unique delivery, flow, and style – the kid is way ahead of his time. Tarrant tells it like it is and motivates his audience through sincere, relentless lyricism, whichever their respective hustles may be. He laces each track with lyrics that go and drops a melodic hook to keep you cruising. (via Victoria Barkate)
SPADE
Initially, Spade started off as a poet in the hip-hop artist group “Money Makin Martians”, and you can hear it in this lyricist’s bars. He brings a combination of different sounds to his trap-esque production and aggressive beats, which brings an even more visceral energy to his braggadocios lyrics. The rapper’s celestial rhymes and allusions make for an up beat vibe that’ll keep you hitting replay every time. (via Victoria Barkate)
Come out to the FREE event Friday night! Doors open at 9 pm, contest is being held from 10 pm to 12 am, and there will be an after party with DJ Dytrik spinning some vibin’ hip hop tunes as well. – S
