J.Maurice – ‘Favors’

J.Maurice has a new track out, and it’s a banger. It has heavy auto-tune on the hook, backed up by classic trap style beat. Oh yeah, the song has a clear and distinct message. He’s through doing favors. And we don’t blame him.

I’m sure we can all relate to the concept that J. Maurice is rapping about. The only difference is he’s really good about putting it into words, and even further more, a rhyme pattern.

Twxntythree (ft. $unny) – ‘Black and Blue’

“I am a Hip-Hop artist out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I write music about personal struggle and addiction. I was homeless for 2 years in San Francisco battling a drug addiction. Once I got clean I was able to turn to music as a release and use it as an outlet for what I am going through. This song is basically a goodbye letter to my drug of choice.”
