STREAM: Maycee – Indecisive EP
As seen via RESPECT.:
Indecisive is the fruit of that trust and process. Despite the title, the project presents an artist who is very decidedly undefined. Ranging from the boastful “I Got,” to the honest “Faded” featuring Chaz French — an ode to a toxic relationship that only seems to work under the influence — to the sonically rich and emotionally raw “Take Me Back,” the project serves not only as an introduction to Maycee , but also to a wave she and her mentor have dub the Ambiguous Art Movement – an approach to music that promises to marry the influence of the classics with the freedom of the Millennial generation. And no one could represent or lead it better.
GooNew – Beware of Goon (Mixtape)
Forest Creek’s GooNew has been making waves recently with his blunt, fast-paced raps and morbid but humorous ad-libs (“Hey Auntie.”)
He linked up with Hoodrich Pablo (who recently added Goon’s homie Lil’ Dude to the Hoodrich roster) and has been killing YouTube and Spinrilla for some time.
His new mixtape, Beware Of Goon, hosted by DJ Bandz has been out for only two days now and continues to grow. Aside from a feature from Pablo, GooNew keeps it in the family, with production from Cheecho and a verse from Corleone. Check out Beware Of Goon, below and keep watching Goonew’s rise.
