Undergroud Effects Artist Of The Week: YC The Cynic
[twitter-follow screen_name=’AllHipHopcom’] [twitter-follow screen_name=’SkyyhookRadio’] Anyone who claims to know how YC The Cynic rhymes is not a true listener of YC’s at all. “The Bronx Bomber” has his own way of getting a point across this is true. However, that particular way morphs, changes and evolves through every project he puts out. What you heard at the beginning of his career is not what you get from the YC of today. In fact one might argue that the YC of 3 months ago is not the YC of today! Nor should it be. He will never be pigeon-holed into staying true to anyone else’s ideas of who he is supposed to be as an artist. How completely Hip Hop of him! Besides an impeccable flow and a wisdom far beyond his young years laced throughout his lyrics, YC The Cynic adds dimensions to his work though non stop metaphorical genius. But don’t just take our word for it! Take a listen to one of his newest releases as well as some of our older favorites and see if you don’t agree!

Underground Effects Artists Of The Week: Bodega Brovas
Do you believe in Bodega? Well lots of their fans do and that’s what makes any live show that they perform in so freakin impressive! They are interactive with their crowds in a way that many artists today don’t bother to try to do. We aren’t sure if it’s that they don’t don’t know how to pull it off or they simply don’t care anymore about artistry period, but rappers should really take a chapter out of the Bodega Brovas book because when you pay for a show as a fan you want to be entertained. These guys do it with a fervor that is not easily beaten. Not by a long shot. But even doper than that is the actual music they put forth. The passion they exude on stage is what so completely compliments the bars they drop in the studio. These kids are wild with it, but in a fun way that allows the listener to take the journey with them. A Bodga Brovas fan is not only able to quote the jokes and punchlines on a Bodega track, they understand the depths and the meanings in the music as well. This is so because there are no smoke and mirror tricks with these guys. Bodega Brovas make the music they want to listen to nothing more nothing less. If only more artists saw it that way what a Hip Hop Utopia this could be! Check out some examples of what we mean in the videos below!

Underground Effects Artist Of The Week: Soul Khan
[twitter-follow screen_name=’AllHipHopcom’] [twitter-follow screen_name=’SkyyhookRadio’] Soul Khan is off to one heck of a year already and judging by some of the work he put in on Soulstice III his colleagues should be afraid, yes, they should be very afraid. Soul Khan has risen through the ranks of the battle emcee’s, he has done and is doing amazing things with his Brown Bag brethren, but it’s the personal pieces in his solo projects that get people staring at this man and silently wondering, “Where in the hell did that verse come from?” and the answer is simple. The verses are from his heart. This artists is more than just metaphorically clever. He speaks truth to power with a wit that can not be taught. He is able to transform any news story into something the listener can grasp and digest and he never shies away from the fight. He uses Hip Hop in a very nostalgic way because for Soul Khan Hip Hop is a call to arms. Only the difference between Soul Khan and a lot of these knuckleheads out here is his words are his weapon of choice and with them he can mow down a mere mortal with ease. Check out an example of what we mean in the song below!
