Im not saying this is a bad thing but I can't seem to keep this dude off the site.
Whether you know him as Tony, theIMAGERY, or VRGO you know his name. If not you better get used to it. He was posted on here last month for your Daily Dose with his song "Bitch"
The song I'm giving you today is just as dope as the last one.
Immature is pretty much just a song that Tony wrote while he was pissed. He said himself that the lyrics are lame, but it works perfectly fine because I love this song. He pretty much just dogs some chick that was being really immature. Make sure you listen to this. If you dont like the lyrics Im sure you will like the beat because it's hard as hell.
The Fresh Meat I'm throwing at yall today is Tae Harlem. He's got a voice that is hard to forget.
His flows are heavy hitting to go right along with the dope beats he uses. He's lowkey got a Chief Keef feel to him in my opinion, but also of course he has his own too.
The video I found is slightly old, but I've listened to the song a bunch of times. Other than the video Im giving you Im gonna give you the link to his mixtape "FlyyNi99a DopeFlow"
It starts off with Tae Harlem spitting without anything in the background which was basically what made me want to listen to more and see what else he could bring to the table.
What do you think? Make sure you check this dude out.
Tae Harlem ft. Ripp Flamez &McFly Millz - DopeNiggasOnAPlane
The tape is full of dope ass songs. Every song has a hard beat and ill rhymes to go right along with it. Make sure you at least listen to this mixtape because its one to remember.
He's been hiding from us for a little while but he's back.
With him being back comes good and bad news.
The bad news is, the song / video he released today is not even 2 minutes long.
The good news is, we got a new song / video AND a "sorry for the wait" type thing.
First the video; With it only being a minute and fifty two seconds, the shit is dope. Between the beat, Bankies flow, and the video you can't help but to want to watch it more than once.
Make sure you check this joint out.
Bankie decided to throw together 36 songs (old-er and new) and put them on a mixtape for us. Featuring songs that you may have heard before such as, Numbers, Pussy Got U Hooked, and Nutcase . I haven't listened to the ENTIRE thing but Im slowly but surely working on it. Make sure you download it.
Also, I just thought I'd let you all know that he's been working on a new project which you gotta keep a look out for titled Red Bible.
When I told you this girl was going to blow up I was not playing one bit.
She gives us a little taste of what could be called R&B electronic soul Lorine has a angelesque, unique and powerful voice that instantly turns you into a fan of Ms. Chia.
In early November she gave us a video for her song "Crazy Things" As soon as I saw this visual I lost my mind. Its simple and lowkey trippy. Lorine is one of the most creative females out there and she puts her everything into her work. I promise that you'll love this video.
Have you ever heard of Chance The Rapper? If not look him up, he's pretty nice.
Anyways; Lorine joined forces with him and made a track called "Living In Vain" which is one of the most soulful songs I've heard in a while. She also had the chance to go out to Chicago to perform the song along side of Chance The Rapper. Check out the song below.
Since she released her self-titled project to introduce herself to the world on Thanksgiving I've seen nothing but her name. From features in Complex to just blowing up my twitter, you can tell that everyone loves her.
I got the opportunity to get a hard copy of "Lorine" and Im honestly super happy I did cause I love the cover and back art. Having a hard copy is always awesome to have. Make sure you download Lorine, this project is definitly something you will want. Its great to just sit back and vibe out to.
I'm sure you've heard this first joint either on the radio or from your friends. If not, catch up. Back in July, Tezo dropped a video for the song he did with Kenn Ball "Dinner Date" the infectious beat is definitely what pulls you into this song, not to mention the hook that you can't forget. Check it out below.
The next video Im gonna give you guys is more recent. Late November, last week to be exact, Tezo's visual for his song 'Last Night" snatched the opportunity to premier on Complex. This tracks instrumental has more of a creepy / eerie feel to it but thats the thing that I like the most about it. The visual goes perfect with the song no doubt. Check this one out too.
Last, but not least I give you Tezo's newest mixtape "Work". This project has 14 tracks that do nothing but keep you wanting more and more and more. Make sure you listen to this tape all the way through because every single song is amazing. Continue to keep your eyes on our guy Tezo because he's putting in Work and you'll most likely be seeing his name more. Whether you like it or not.
Usually I wait a little while to post up for new mixtapes but I was a little too excited for this.
We have been following DK since their "Outside The Box" EP. Whether it was each persons indiviual projects being featured or a Dope Kulture mixtape..we've kept you up. Its awesome as hell to watch a group grow the way these dudes have. I constantly told you to look out for the Kulture. I told you to keep your eyes on them and look at them now!
Enough of my little sap moment...
PTE2 has been out for about a half hour now and already has about 850 views.
Meaning y'all ARE fucking with it
You can seriously find everything that you'd want in a mixtape on this project.
I've been listening to the tape while putting this post together and I've yet to skip a track or even slightly dislike one. I'm telling you now, if you're sleeping on these dudes its time to wake up because they are a group of the illest in Cleveland.
Their flows, their creativity, their talent. What's not to love about the Kulture!?
Download the tape right now. I don't care what you plan on doing once you're done reading this. Click the link and download the tape. After you download it sit your ass down and listen to it.
I double dog dare you to tell me this isn't dope as hell.
annnnd waiting for Uncle JuJu to release his anticipated project "yoUiNCLE"
He's playing with our emotions. BUT there are a few good things about the wait, he's been leaving us with some presents I guess you could call them.
Waay back in May JuJu dropped a song for us that will be on yoUiNCLE "jujuate" If you haven't downloaded that do it now, because that song is the shit.
I literally listen to it at least twice a day.
In September he released a video for his song "All A Nigga No's" which was directed by Purple Films. To me, the video has a sort of "A day in the life of JuJu" vibe. The visual is too awesome.
Make sure you check that out as well.
In early November (This month obviously) He dropped a 3-track "Sorry for the wait" type mixtape with Goldface Moneywatch "10 G Envies". It is dope as hell. The first song, "Dee Rose", will steal your heart, its my favorite out of the three. Download it and I promise you won't be disappointed.
The last little present Uncle JuJu left us with was the back art / track names of yoUiNCLE.
I'll let you soak all this in.
Watch the video. Download jujuate. Download "10 G Envies".
Don't worry! As soon as he drops the tape I'll put you all on.
You're gonna see how hard I'm slacking right now haha.
I'm gonna toss another Varsity nigga at you.
You've heard of him, you've seen him on the site. He's dope. You get it right? Good.
Back in July Fly Ellz dropped his tape "The LGND Project" which was obviously featured on the site.
Back in September Fly Ellz decided to make a video for one of my FAVORITE songs off the tape.
The Craft.
Number one, the beat for this song is ill. I've probably mentioned it hella times before this but oh well. The video is simple Ellz and a couple of his friends just kickin it by some train tracks.
Oddly enough, you wouldn't think that it would fit with the song just hearing about it but the two work great together.
Now..if you do not have The LGND Project...download it now. Seriously. Its soo worth it and its free. Duh.
I'm gonna just stop now and let you all watch the video.
ChILLs' flow is honestly one of a kind, its real nice though. Something new for you bump.
If you like chill music this dude is one to listen to. He's currently working on a project which should be dropping soon so I'll make sure I get that up here when it does. But for now I'll leave you his newer song DELUXE and a somewhat older song "Standard"
Make sure you give this Freshie a chance because I have a strong feeling his mixtape is gonna be dope.
It's been a while since this next dude has been featured on the site and he changed his name so you might not remember him, but that's what I'm here for. To keep you up to date.
Tony was featured before as just a producer which is something he is fantastic at doing might I add. Today I'm gonna give you a new song he released yesterday with a cool ass chick named Joey featured on it.
I'm not going to lie, when I first listened to this song I spazzed out a little too hard, because I've heard the beat he made and was hoping he'd do something dope with it. There's another song he dropped not that long ago which is just as dope. If you like chill-er music then his music is what you want to get ahold of.
Now I know y'all didnt forget our favorite fellas from the Heights, Dope Kulture right?
If you did...get ya shit together.
Moving along, these guys have still been doing the damn thing if you weren't informed.
They've release a couple new tracks, WiseGuy dropped a new video for BigHeadBlowDown , they performed a few more times, anddd are working on new projects. *Cough Cough* Press To Enter 2.
First; lets talk about ProCools new song. It just dropped yesterday. And let me tell you, I've listened to this shit so many times. Call it music, call it poetry, whichever you choose you can't deny that it's ill. ProCool always knows what words to pick to steal and keep your attention throughout the entire song. Listen to it. Download it. I dare you to try and tell me that the song isn't amazing.
(Oh and btw, he's gonna be dropping a new project soon.)
Next; everyone who's been to a DK concert / performance will tell you that these dudes know how to put on a show. About a month ago (I could be wrong haha) I went to a show at Peabodys where a bunch of Clevelanders performed their music and whatnot and I promise you that the place didn't really get hype until Dope Kulture hit the stage. If you still haven't been to a DK show your next chance is coming soon!
They're going to be opening for Camp Lo December 7th at the Grog Shop so BE DEAH!!!! Its a Friday y'all won't have shit else to do anyways so go and have a great time.
Okay, so I've somewhat got you up to date on what these fellas have been cooking up. Make sure you download anything you haven't yet. Go to DopeKulture.com if you wanna kind of keep tabs on the guys. Follow them on twitter. Be on the look out for Press To Enter 2 and GO TO THE SHOW ON THE 7TH!
So I've been mad busy. I want to first apologize for not keeping up with the site for a few months. I promise that starting today I'll try my best to at least have 4 new posts each week.
I've got some good shit for you all today so keep your eyes peeled :)
The Kulture Kampaign has begun. You see that picture up there right? You remember when I told you all that Dope Kulture was going to do big things right? I was not lying!
A few months after finding out that it was too late to get a slot to perform at the Ohio Hip Hop awards, they were notified that they were nominated for The Best New Group of 2012.
Now this is where you come in. Go onto the Ohio Hop Hop Awards website and vote Dope Kulture for Best New Group. Here's the best part; you can vote once every 24 hour time period MEANING every day you should be a fantastic person and put your vote in for Dope Kulture. The voting ballot is a little long, because it does have other categories, but it shouldn't take more than 4-5 minutes.
Now of course, there are other Clevelanders that have been nominated in the OHHA such as;
Now in case you don't know who Dope Kulture is I have a few words for you. Number one, shame on you. Number two, I'm gonna school you really quick. Dope Kulture is a group of Clevelands best, no lie. Every mixtape they have released has not disappointed me. I'm not the only person saying this either. Every person in The Kult brings something different and thats what makes them such a favorite of mine. Now, their performances? Phenomenal. The energy that these guys bring to the stage is so awesome. I've said it before, I'll say it a million times more, Dope Kulture is going to do huge things!
Remember Sicksteen? If not, he was featured on the site a while ago with DJ A Yeag.
Well anyways, Sicksteen hooked up with this dude Lil Star and dropped this ill ass song called "Bout Dat Life" You need something to Turn Up to? This is your song right here. Even if you just wanna wild out a little bit, turn this song on and turn it up.
I'll leave you twitter links of course, the video, and the link to Lil Stars mixtape.
