Wes Denzel – “King of NY

I’m going to keep it real, I got a shoutout in this song, so yeah you gotta hear it. Aside from the love shown, the KUTX Artist of the Month alum, Wes shows off his rapping prowess with this sort of ode to the era of rap where everyone was hype to have Funk Master Flex bombs dropped on their new song or freestyle. 


XbValentine – Flashy (ft. Karlaaa & Krystal Poppin)

Having split her time between Austin and Dallas, XbValentine teamed up with fellow Latina artists, Karlaaa and Krystal Poppin for this chill record that shows the ladies letting it be known they’re working hard, and can be flashy if need be. 


ShxwnFresh – Magnolia (ft. Sweet Limb)

The song ShxwnFresh crowned as the, “Song of the Summer” last summer, brings a nice island type vibe. Linking up with fellow Austin-based artist in Sweet Limb, the two make something that can get you grooving and winding on the dance floor in the summer sun.


Lynn – Wake Up (ft. Big Yavo) 

To those fans of Megan Thee Stallion, Glorilla, JT, or any of the women that are seemingly controlling the current landscape of Rap music right now, let me introduce you to Lynn aka the Bad Guy. On Wake Up Lynn serves up some of the best bragadocious lines you’ll hear, complimented by popular Birmingham, AL artist, Big Yavo.
