All these Rappers from my city might as well switch up their profession

This past weekend, N.E. Washington, D.C. artist Tokyo Daimo let loose a few tracks for the fans to enjoy. You can enjoy those heaters below.
The Head Hippie of the DMV drops off the visual for his biggest single to date, “Shinobi.” The CGI-assisted imagery produced and directed by Minista Millz takes the track to another dimension – somewhere between Minority Report, the Matrix, and the video game namesake.
Cornell Jone$ blesses us with a new exclusive featuring 30 Glizzy. Cornell and 30 call out the fake on “Wellin,” over a Beat Plugg Two and Mexiko Dro production. Cornell kills it on this one, with a hook that has been stuck in my head for days. He and 30 have endless braggadocios bars and taunts. Check out “Wellin” today and keep an eye out for more from Cornell in the future.
STEFisDOPE and Nate Greyski flow over a STEF-produced edit of Aaliyah’s “4 Page Letter”
Did you ever want a version of the song “Burn” without Big Sean? Surely the answer is yes. Do you ever feel like you need more Dubstep drops in your life? Either way, this track is for you, it has great drops and drum programming, catchy synths and an inspiring outro from DJ/producer Tantalus. Enjoy
Diggy Ro’Zay and Pat chop it up about music, his vision, the future and more…
Today, local Hip-Hop sensation Ras Nebyu gives us a compilation of collaborations, freestyles and collaborations, presented by the Washington Slizzards and Third World. I found a number of gems in this one, enjoy.
Baltimore-bred Indie darlings Lower Dens gained major attention after their 2012 album Nootropics. After a large gap, the band is soon coming back with a new album, Escape From Evil. Directed by Cody Critcheloe, the song (and video) for “To Die In L.A.” stays true to the same themes, starring Actually Huizenga and Jana Hunter in a short, wild and eerily absurd visual.
P-Wild and Foams drop a new video about the grind. Shot and directed by JD Films.
VA artist Bleu Friday spits the realness on a brand new single. Support him and buy it on iTunes.
Holleywood talks about what he’s willing to die for on this new single.
Lightshow blacks out over Drake’s “10 Bands.” What more can I say? He’s a great rapper, this is punchlines and bars three minutes-straight. You shouldn’t expect anything less. If you’re in DC this weekend check him out at Blind Whino.
King Shug shows off his “2K15 flow” on his remix of Young Dolph’s “Preach.” Shugged killed it with this one.
This is a bonus track from the deluxe edition of Black Cobain’s latest project. Support him and go get that.
One of DC’s brightest up-and-coming artists, Tokyo Daimo releases his own take on Fat Trel’s latest featuring his homie Lambo.
Glizzy goes in over the next big street hit. Law 3 is out now.
Just-Ty teams up with MMG’s own Fat Trel on this smash single from the “Can’t Lose Vol. 1” mixtape.

New Regime and MMG’s Fat Trel team up with producer Kino Beats on the Million Dollar Regiment cut “Money Hungry”
As DaRealYungRob sets to release new project “Wake Up Call 2” he drops another jewel for his audience, a classic piece covering the late great Rap Legend Tupac Shakur’s “Pain”. He teams up with C4 Visions to create a DOPE visual to be released during Black History Month. Be sure to stay tune for the release of “Wake Up Call 2” and other new music.
A new crazy mixtape from DC’s ComeUp Shawdy. A solid, polished product, not just a mixtape. Definitely worth checking out.
Oochie and Loso keep it “Sneaky” on the rough version of this new track with Young Clip. We don’t know why Carter G. Woodson is the cover of this record other than it being Black History Month. If you don’t know who he is, Google it.
Foams SB and FoolwithaCamera drop a new video, “Overnight.” This dope new exclusive, produced by Heavy, has Foams talking about how quickly life can change…Foams opens up about his recent leg injury and more.
