The Griselda collective’s unlikely new kid shares his future story of glory over simmering horn production and displayed through colorful storytelling. “Who Doubtin” is a celebration and a warning for listeners to tap in to Brother Tom Sos. It also cements the rhymer’s most recent EP “Caged Bird Don’t Sing.”

Produced by Playa Haze, “Grandma Cookies” finds Che Noir lyrical agility and storytelling sensibilities still sharp. Arguably the hottest single from the femcee’s recent offering “It Takes A Village.”

The last single from Spacebound, finds them thriving in their sweet spot; integrating punk, rock, and hip-hop. This collaboration between 3 major new-generation artists in Buffalo, Turnup, Grxzz, and Neftali is stretching the city’s sonic profile.

One of the city’s secret weapons, Kevin Spears charming combination of Alt-funk, hip-hop, and R&B oozes hometown glory and fresh perspective on his most recent single “New Waves.”

Producer-rapper AHHKEE shows much promise with his recent string of expressive singles including “Something from Nothing.” Coming off the heels of his recent collaboration with Brother Tom Sos and accruing a repertoir for audacious production and visual storytelling, theres no denying he’s one to watch.

With a buzz that has outgrown Upstate, New York, Moody 716 is bringing a new perspective to the stereotypical street tales. Integrating thoughts of success with grungy flair, her most recent single “Hit Different,” may be the breakout song we’ve been waiting for.
