Jowin. Unsigned Artist of the Week

Our Unsigned Artist of the Week is Jowin from Nashville, Tennessee. Jowin can only be described as a complete and revolutionary artist. Not only are his lyrical style and wordplay one of a kind but how he presents the themes in his music exudes a personal touch that cannot be replicated.

The topics of his music and some of his anime, video game and other references can really only be fully understood by those who share these interests, however they are executed well enough that there is something for everyone and an added joy for those willing to search for answers.

To back up such a unique lyrical talent can only be production that can come from himself. Most of his music are either self produced or produced by talents who share the artists similarities and can match the animation of his style.

There can be no doubt that Jowin is in a different league , both as an artist and as a producer and is paving the way for a new sound in Hip Hop.

My Favorites from Jowin are, "Hue Freeman", "Cosplay Girl", and "Super-Cool-Action"

Wordspit. Unsigned Artist of the Week.

Our Unsigned Artist of the Week is Wordspit from Brooklyn, New York. Wordspit mixes a classic sound of 90's Hip Hop, unique samples and  his creative mix of lyricism, storytelling and passion for Hip Hop to create a raw unprecedented sound that defines the potential for Hip Hop to return to its former glory and go beyond it.

Wordspit characterizes the new age of Hip Hop by presenting himself honestly and communicating his unique struggle as an artist beautifully. He successfully relates to the new generation of Hip Hop by tapping into everyday life and nostalgic topics, giving them new perspective with his clever and unwavering lyrical talent.

His presence never falters, his energy stays consistent and he tells his story in a way that can be understood by anyone as a journey into his thoughts and his alone.

My Favorites from Wordspit are, "Joystick Madness" and "Poet's Haiku"

Muzik MOBB. Unsigned Artist of the Week.


Our Unsigned Artist of the Week is the Muzik MOBB from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Muzik MOBB consists of four artists, J-Heat, Young Trigga, Fre$hman, and Zee Zee with occasional singer Raysean. The group as a whole has a very unified sound, with each artist complementing the next effortlessly.

Everyone holds their own and there are no places in their music where one part lacks effort because someone is slacking. This group uses its power in numbers to open up the range of topics that they touch upon and clearly explain their position without sounding repetitive.

Their greatest strength would be in their overall energy.  They posses the lyrical talents to make a song and keep a level of energy that is consistent and intense, keeping any crowd on their feet and entertained without being gimmicky.

Overall their energy and ability to manage so much talent into a unified machine is unmatched, making them worth multiple listens daily.

My Favorites from Muzik MOBB are "Switch Up" and "This is the Life"
