Here’s What You Should Be Listening To Today

Published

on

Some hot stuff that you won't want to miss today is inside.

Some heavy-hitters have dropped new music this week, from Kash Doll to Tee Grizzley, even ShredGang Mone. A commonality between the aformentioned artists is their knack for creating timeless music. With that being said, you should check out their new stuff while its hot to get ahead of everyone else. We’ve got five scorching hot songs for you to check out this Thursday if you’re really into being up on the latest and greatest. Check out our picks below.

“My City” by Young Ra feat. ShredGang Mone, Cash Kidd & Bandgang Biggs

This fiery trap banger features a littany of quality verses from some serious Detroit muscle. Cash Kidd, as always, brings a haphazardly slung verse, brilliantly dancing between the intersections of the downbeat and backend production ambiance. The visual is cool and all, but the real heart and soul of the experience comes from the collective energy on display in the track itself.

 

“Don’t Even Trip” by Tee Grizzley feat. MoneyBagg Yo

Two up-and-coming rappers; one from Detroit, the other from Memphis. Bring their styles together for a track and you get something special. Tee Grizzley’s new release is an ominously dark sermon that’s vivaceous at the same time. His verse is glass-shattering, MoneyBagg Yo’s equally as destructive. Yo’s guttural growl, in particular, is striking in accordance with the piano-centric production that relies on a particular riff to induce stomach-clenching dread.

 

“Dysfunctional Family” by RiskTaker D-Boy

RiskTaker D-Boy looks to make 2018 his bitch. “If You My N*gga” put him on the map, now he’s gotten even more personal on his follow-up “Dysfunctional Family.” The somber ode to family drama is a touching sermon that showcases his next-to-none flow and overbearing, maestro-like aesthetic. It’ll put you in the feels for sure.

 

“Swiper No Swiping” by Bighomie Tru feat. Payroll Giovanni

PAYROLL! There’s no one in the game period right now with a track record like Payroll Giovanni. His verses are akin to business advice from business expert Gary Vaynerchuck – whatever he says, it makes you want to get shit done. Immediately. He blesses Bighomie Tru in the trap hit “Swiper No Swiping” and you’ll want to hear what both artists have to say. The track is a surefire hit that will only add another tally mark to Payroll’s already lengthy string of hits.

 

“10 Cars” by Johnnie Cage feat. Cosofamous

There’s no major names attached to this, no reason to check it out besides the fact that it slaps. It’s mixed excellently, the production is immersive, and the verses are tight, compact, and larger-than-life. In short, this has everything it takes to be a viral hit. When it inevitably does, remember that you saw it over on 4ShoMag first.

Kato On The Track & B.o.B Are Offering A Unique Collaborative Opportunity With Audius

This is an amazing opportunity for the right artist!

Published

Kato

In the bustling world of music, where dreams often intertwine with stardom, the dynamic duo of B.o.B and Kato On The Track have embarked on a quest to unearth the next viral talent in the same vein as artists such as Lil Nas X. Their vehicle for this musical exploration? The eagerly anticipated social media phenomenon–the “Over Night Success Story (ONSS)” challenge.

This collaborative venture was unveiled earlier this month when Kato disclosed his partnership with B.o.B and the contest platform Audius. The ONSS challenge was conceived as an exclusive global event, carefully crafted to link the duo with an ambitious indie artist for an unparalleled collaborative experience. The winning artist, chosen through their ingenuity in crafting a viral hit over Kato’s expertly produced beats, would be granted a golden ticket – an all-expenses-paid journey to Atlanta. There, they would join forces with Kato and B.o.B to create music, generate content, and bask in the realm of possibilities.

Much like Lil Nas X’s meteoric rise with “Old Town Road,” the challenge grants artists the power to select their favorite instrumental via Audius, utilizing the internet and social media to catapult their creation to instant stardom. A unique aspect is the low-risk nature of the competition, as streaming numbers play no role in Kato’s final decision on the winner.

To enter, eager fans simply need to create an Audius account, purchase any ONSS instrumental from Kato, upload their track, toggle the “identify as a remix” option, and promote their creation. The trio encourages participants to tag @KatoProducer, @bob, and @audius for increased visibility.

Kato, no stranger to viral challenges with over 65 open verse challenges under his belt, has a history of catapulting artists to fame. Notably, his previous “No Sucka MC’s” contest boosted the careers of mainstream lyricists like Joyner Lucas and Token.

In a recent interview, Kato shed light on the challenge’s genesis, expressing that the collaboration with B.o.B was a long-awaited endeavor. Having a history with B.o.B and fueled by the desire to offer more opportunities to his community, the ONSS challenge was born.

When asked about his favorite part of the submission process, Kato highlighted the transformation from a piece of production to an artist’s creative expression. He emphasized the significance of recognizing the unseen effort behind the scenes, a sentiment rooted in his own journey to success.

For Kato, the challenge is more than a contest; it’s a chance to provide aspiring artists with the opportunities he wished for early in his career. While it may not create an “overnight success,” it symbolizes a moment of recognition for the tireless hours of dedication artists invest.

Looking ahead, Kato envisions the ONSS challenge as only the beginning of a series of opportunities. With plans for contests every 4 to 6 weeks, he aims to unearth more exceptional talent and share it with an eager audience. And given the fact he’s worked with artists such as Joyner Lucas, Token and more, there’s no telling who might be apart of the next ONSS challenge.

Submissions are due by midnight on February 4. Additional details on the contest are available on Audius’ official website.
