WATCH THIS! Raeboo drops Timothy Lens shot visual for “KYNG”

Video review by Jake Faircloth

As I watched the music video for "Kyng" by Raeboo featuring Ladii Love, the first thing that struck me was the skillful cinematography by Timothy Lens. The video was shot in Minneapolis and showcased the city's landscape in a beautiful way.

The song, with its catchy beat and poignant lyrics about seeking power and success, was perfectly complemented by the visuals of the video. Raeboo's performance exuded confidence and charisma throughout the video. Ladii Love's additional vocals gave the song/video another layer of depth with the chorus pleading with the viewer to get out of the streets.

But what I found most intriguing about the video was the way it played with themes of identity and ambition. Raeboo's performance was a masterclass in charisma and drive, but underneath the bravado I sensed a slight level of self-doubt and vulnerability. This added a layer of emotional depth to the video, as it explored the challenges that come with striving for greatness.

Overall, I found the "Kyng" music video to be a unique and introspective piece of art. With its expert cinematography, compelling performances, and thought-provoking themes, it is definitely worth watching – and re-watching – to fully appreciate its brilliance.

"KYNG" is also available across all Digital Streaming Platforms as a part of the newly released project titled "Low End Rida"

Frm Da Tangle With Love

Fari Oso - "Love Songs Frm Da Tangle" Album Review

Northside Minneapolis representative Fari Oso's "Love Songs Frm Da Tangle" is a dynamic and engaging addition to what the Minnesota music scene has to offer. This album showcases Oso's versatility as a rapper, a lyricist, as well as a vocal instrumentalist. The production value on the album is impressive, with each beat feeling carefully crafted to support Oso's delivery.

Lyrically, Oso shines on tracks like "Not Say" feat. MarvelousMusik, which serves as the album's intro. Oso's wordplay and storytelling skills are on full display, as he weaves together vivid and complex narratives that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

One of the other standout tracks on the album is "P House" feat. Prince Cray and PC Freak which also has a music video that adds an extra layer of visual storytelling. The beat is infectious and all three artists’ verses are tightly packed with clever rhymes and punchy lines that make the listener sit up and take notice. Request this one on Friday or Saturday night at Goldroom and it’s sure to go up.

Perhaps the the biggest standout of the 13 track, 37 minute 25 second long project is on the self-produced “Anything!!!” where Fari stands alone  speaking on overcoming obstacles and achieving success while highlighting various challenges and moral dilemmas that he or someone might face when living in a world where violence and crime are prevalent. "ANYTHING!!!" presents a vivid image of gritty street life and the various challenges that come along with it while celebrating overcoming these obstacles and achieving success in spite of long odds.

A few other noteworthy features on the album are JonRay (Weight), SMG Reeko (Definition of a Bad B*tch & Afraid WitSum FN) and Lil Crush (Girls) who’s addition to the project is particularly noteworthy, as it adds a new dimension to the album's overall sound. The interplay between Lil Crush and Fari highlights Oso's ability to work collaboratively and incorporate a range of styles and perspectives into his music.

Overall, "Love Songs Frm Da Tangle" is a vibrant and exciting album that showcases Fari Oso's skill and passion for the genre as well as highlights just how much talent and creativity exists in The Twin Cities.

Whether you've been aware of his presence in music or are just discovering him for the first time, this album is sure to impress. Highly recommended.

Prestige: A Hidden Gem

M33ch - "Prestige" album review

Minneapolis-based artist M33ch has just released his latest album entitled "Prestige," and it's a must-listen for fans of feel-good hip hop music. The album features 9 tracks, with a total runtime of 30 minutes and 28 seconds, and it seamlessly blends lyricism with addictive, melodic beats.

The album kicks off with the track “Cold Summer” with M33ch immediately showing off his lyrical prowess as well as his clear influence by Kanye West. The intro roped me in right away.

Another standout track on the album is the lead single titled "Switch it up" which features fellow Twin Cities artist/producer Z Boy. This track is accompanied by a music video shot by Matt Wales Media, showcasing M33ch's unique style and artistic vision. The music video perfectly compliments the song's message romanticizing the idea of a woman who can provide the "best of both worlds" to her partner as well as highlighting the chemistry between the two artists.

M33ch's "Prestige" is an album that will encourage listeners to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Its positive lyrics and laid-back beats will definitely appeal to R&B fans, as well as those who enjoy the hip-hop genre. Overall, M33ch has created a solid body of work that's perfect for those who want to unwind and just enjoy the moment. I highly recommend giving this album a listen!
