Despite being temporarily behind bars, the show must go on for Big Flock, who has had a whirlwind of a year. The Great Depression is a reflection of his growth in this past year, with a wide array of songs, styles and features. All around, Flock and everyone involved put their hearts into this music and it shows (review coming soon.) Check out The Great Depression below, via Audiomack. For those of you wondering, yes downloads are on, although you may have to go to Audiomack directly to be able to do so. For a DJ-free version, you can stream on Tidal or support Flock and the team and buy the project on iTunes.

Free Jacob – Reprise

October 21, 2016 JUKEBOXDC Staff Hip-Hop/Rap, Local, Music No Comments  


Uptown DC native Free Jacob drops of “Reprise”, as in the reprise of “U Drinkin Now.” In his newest song in a while, the rapper covers partying, poverty and paranoia with backing from an anthemic beat, co-produced with EESTBOUND. Jacob has managed to stay slightly under the radar despite frequent looks from Ras Nebyu (and even Punch from TDE a few years ago.) Here’s hoping he doesn’t stay that way for long.

Reprise of “U Drinkin Now”. My first track of 2016.
Produced by EESTBOUND (Line 6) with additional production by Jacob.
Engineered by Jacob.

Live Free coming soon.

LB199X – Higher Art

199x

We came across this via Pigeons & Planes and was effectively hooked. D.C. to Orlando (by way of Full Sail?) artist LB199X has released his new project Higher Art, which — as he says — is full of Soul.

The album is for the soul… It stimulates the mind and expresses freedom. This is what art does, it raises your consciousness.

Much respect for the use of a classic Black Ice poem, taken from Pete Rock’s ‘Truth Is’ (ScHoolboy Q also used this) on the first cut ‘Blessing$’. Check out Higher Art below.

Kushy Stash – Disturbed (Prod. Cash Flow Beats)

October 12, 2016 JUKEBOXDC Staff Hip-Hop/Rap, Local, Metal, Music, Trap Rap No Comments  


Kushy Stash combines Metal with Trap on “Disturbed”, produced by Cash Flow Beats. Kushy has been exploring a bunch of themes from late ’90s and early 2000s Popular rock and it’s interesting to see him take a typical Trap beat and turn it into something completely different. Fans of the band Disturbed will recognized a number of references. Bonus track below.
