While Las Vegas has been climbing the ranks as a scene in the past couple of years, the city has always had its unsung heroes. Among them is native Miles Low, who has been a Swiss Army knife for the town for sometime know, playing both the role of radio jockey, & a vicious emcee. After keeping the people waiting, Miles drops off his potent new project, Smoke & Mirrors.

At 11 tracks long, Smoke & Mirrors is a perfect length for today’s market, with little-to-no skips. While released as a single, the G. Reed assisted, “Eenie Meenie” still stands as the song with the best rapping, Miles showcases his versatility throughout the whole album. Already know as a strong lyricist, Miles uses tracks like, “Friends” & “Leavin’” to highlight his infectious abilities, & utilizes, the Vic Smith collaboration, “Sonata” to let you know not to fuck with his pen.

With the other tracks producing the same feelings — don’t sleep on, “Faded” — Smoke & Mirrors is the project we needed from Miles. Check it out below and watch what happens from here.

Rumors are the worst. Far too often in life, we have to deal with people spreading false narratives about us for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, it’s because they’re jealous. Other times, it could be something else, but most of the time it’s just simply because people don’t have anything better to do with their lives. If you’re one of those people, I caution you to be weary of your actions. Because as Las Vegas rhyme-spitter Miles Low puts in his new video, this ain’t what you want.

Although the visual is basic, the aesthetic qualities of, “This Ain’t What You Want,” make it’s simplicity the best part of the video. Juggling between two scenes, one sporting a pretty Asian woman, and the other showcasing Low in an ambient, dark filter; the video perfectly compliments the track well, as Low’s straightforward cadences play right into the visual’s core theme. With his upcoming project set to be released next week, “This Ain’t What You Want,” serves as the perfect single and video to kick off Miles’ season.

Check out the video below and be sure to keep an eye out for Miles Low.

Back in 2010, notable classic movie network, AMC debuted a new action series that had the nerds going bananas. What had started as a comic-book series with a cult following, The Walking Dead has turned into a full fledged 360 degree marketable enterprise. Hats, video games, spin-offs and more have branched off from the iconic series due to it’s many classic scenes. The show has taken the cliff-hanger theory and squeezed out every tinny-tiny bit of it’s value time and time again, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. But nothing had people talking more than the incredibly intense scene to end out season 6–where main character Negan goes absolutely ape shit and attacks everybody and their mom in an executioner style scene that will either send chills up your spine and make you a fan, or completely turn you off to the show.

Naturally, this fits Hip-Hop’s root theory and aesthetic, so it was only a matter of time before the scene was created by a wordsmith. First up? Las Vegas spitter Miles Low, who comes in with the finale-inspired visual for, “Eenie Meenie” featuring fellow 702 rep, G. Reed.

Coming right out the gate with a catchy hook and a calculated delivery, Low lets his motives on the track be known within the first couple of seconds. “Eenie Meenie miny moe, catch a rapper by his flow,” the Vegas native taunts on the hook, before he gets into his scathing verse that no doubt includes shots at the politics of the music business with barbs like, “Yall Sentimental, I sent the missile, I meant to hit you/ I grasp the pencil, the shits a pencil, I been official.” Never the one to be out done, Reed nearly steals the show with his verse to close the track out; setting the tone immediately, kicking off his verse with, “Eenie Meenie miny me, all I see is tiny Reeds.”

Check out the lyrically driven track and it’s creative video above, and be sure to keep an eye out for Miles and his FCCMG clique.
