This is hard. Baltimore’s Bandhunta Izzy pays homage to a 50 Cent classic with some of the most scathing bars imaginable. Even 50 himself had to respond to it:
Bucky Malone – “Off Dat!” (Video)
Following the release of the single back in March, VA’s own Bucky Malone delivers a new visual for the ICYTWAT-produced track “Off Dat!,” self-directed alongside shooter 1EyedVisions. Check it out above.

Kingpen Slim – “So DC Freestyle” (Video)
After some teasing, Kingpen Slim finally delivers the visual for his freestyle over Casanova’s #SoBrooklyn challenge. You can call me biased, but I think Kingpen Slim has the best response to the challenge yet. For some of Kingpen’s bars on this joint, you could only relate if you grew up in the city.

UCB – “Goodnight”
Legendary Uptown Go-Go outfit Uncalled 4 (or UCB) are back with a new single titled “Goodnight,” which fits right in with their highly-touted “second run.” Check it out below.

Lulu P – “No Adlibs” (Video)
Shot by MotiVisual and premiered via DMV Hoodz Nd Newz. Taken from BIG 16 (All American P).
Ant Glizzy, LilBro YP & Dro – “Stay Dangerous” (Video)
Shot by Sarafis Midas for Brickdam Clubhouse.
LuLu P & Soduh – “Crime Pays” (Video)
From No Jumper, who premiered the visual:
The DMV music scene has been lighting it up from all angles and they continue to push the envelope with new sounds and artists. As it’s a lot of folks who are putting on for the region, Lulu P and Soduh stand tall as veterans of the scene and they continue to put out heat in the process. Coming off the heels of making good projects and singles, they apply pressure with their new visual, “Crime Pays”. The new Moshpit directed visual captures the dynamic duo smoking gas and acting a fool in the Miami streets. This visual is only the tip of the iceberg of what they’re going to be offering throughout the rest of 2019.
