AUDIO: AJ Terell – “Band$”

AJ Terell is one of the freshest faces in Milwaukee hip hop, but as his latest release, “Band$” shows, he’s much more than a rookie emcee. With a trap beat from producer Erik Giovani worthy of several flame emojis when discussing it, “Band$” gives Terell a chance to show that he can flow with the best of them, handling his

AUDIO: Dubb – “Isolation”

Milwaukee’s own Dubb is back with a new EP, with his latest release, “Isolation”.

After a prelude to new music, Rob Hicks is back with the first complete track from his upcoming project, “Perception”. The track is already piling up plays, and deservingly so, as Hicks unleashes on every verse this time around. Produced by Seym, the beat goes hard, and the verses match that energy completely. It feels as though Rob Hicks is

AUDIO: Will It Burn – “Alcoholic Swear Monster”

With a immense mix of genres, Milwaukee’s Will It Burn is an anomaly of sorts. The combination of hip hop samples and twangy guitar from Eightzero, combined with vocalist EmAliyah, creates something completely unique. That uniqueness is fully on display with the group’s most recent release, “Alcoholic Swear Monster”. From the opening of “Yes” forward, you discover that while there
