NEW SINGLE BY MAHD
“I swear they don’t make ’em like me no more” proclaims Detroit rapper MAHD on his loose single, “Raptizm,” which debuts via HipHopDX. What makes “Raptizm” stand-out is the dichotomy between MAHD’s gruff vocals and urgent delivery with the lush production by Jeff Gore. Amid a soaring sample of a choir, MAHD calls out a host of individuals. “Normally when I hear a track that I like, the beat gives me the inspiration and subject matter follows,” MAHD explains. “I’ve watched almost every rap battle ever, so that competitive part of the culture is definitely in me.”
