Five SoundCloud Gems To Get Behind

Published

on

After going on a SoundCloud deep dive, we’ve found five tracks that’ll make your week better, even if it’s just a smidge. These are some out of the ordinary cuts by rappers on the verge of becoming industry iconoclasts when they reach the next level. They’re not afraid to push the envelope so that they may push the culture in return.

 

“Midnight” by Nick Teslah

Nick Teslah is based out of Newport News, VA, and he’s one of the hottest rising artists in the state without the tremendous buzz that comes with prodigy-level talent. “Midnight” is a moody indicator of his dreary aesthetic, incorporating the kind of slow-burning emo feels that many artists try to emulate, yet fail miserably in doing so. Teslah’s got a bright future ahead of him.

“What Am I To Do” by Mick Jenkins

Mick Jenkins has been a fixture of the conscious rap scene for years now. His penchant for quality, other-worldy music is next to none. His new release “What Am I To Do” switches it up, sounding much more grounded than many of his older works, largely due to KAYTRANADA’s production. It’s one of the more soulful tracks that you’ll hear this week.

 

“Save Her” by CashCurt

This CashCurt cut “Save Her” is just the kind of new age hit that’ll leave your ears smoldering. There’s nothing especially unique about it other than the fact that it sounds brilliant, furthering many of the concepts artists have brought to the table in a sonically consumable package.

 

“Pop Shit” by Draydon”

Draydon came onto our radar with “Gem” a few months ago. Now he has a somber new cut that looks to stir up a similar sentiment. “Pop Shit” is a creepy, emotional cut that brings more of his spectacular brand to the forefront. It’s some seriously smooth shit that’ll keep you replaying it.

 

“Poppin Shit” by ATL Smook

You never know what you’ll get from ATL Smook. That’s what makes his music so exciting; he could create a trap banger of the coldest quality, and, next, he’ll create an autotune smash that stands extremely close next to alt-rock. His newest, “Poppin Shit,” sounds like a bass-heavy mix, being one of the best tracks we’ve heard from him in quite some time.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Keem Reign is a budding talent full of soul, experience and imagination. Finding his inspiration for music within his own life, Keem’s creation process is filled with a variety of emotions. A major part of his personal influence in music comes from his mother and understanding her sacrifice. Keem often uses her journey of being a single mother as fuel to produce some of his most vulnerable lyrics.

This latest release serves as a reintroduction of Keem’s style and musical presence. Finding his own flare of blending rapping with singing, Life Goes On is an interesting layered project. Keem’s voice is smooth and melodic, putting listeners into almost a meditative trance. Despite the light touch, this album was heavily inspired by heartbreak. After experiencing a personal relationship turned sour, he turned to music for a type of mental reset. Singles like “Toxic”, “Sober”, “Pill Popper” and “Next Lifetime” are heartfelt depictions. As Keem Reign focuses on polishing his sound, expanding his wordplay and pushing his creativity, his imprint on hip-hop will only grow bigger.
