Austin Royale, Well$, and Frais construct sonic unrest on “Nevermind.” Having taken a sixth month hiatus, the North Carolinian rapper/producer returns with a record whose musical capacity indicates substantial growth. Enlisting the help of promising up and comer’s Well$ and Frais, coupled with rock-like, alternative-minded production from Ronny J, “Nevermind” impacts greatly; combining memorable appeal and aggressively channeled musical rage that offers insight to the grind of the late nights and shines a promising light on North Carolina’s music scene altogether. As he gears up to release PLAN/A later this year, the now LA transplant’s reinvigorated focus on the craft is evident. “Nevermind” feels innovative to say the least. While Royale, Well$, and Frais aren’t the first to dip their toes in the alternative rap pool, “Nevermind” seems to steer fully clear of genre melding, hatching what hopes to become a household and signature sound, truly displaying all three artists’ creativity and mindset. With PLAN/A  looming close to it’s release date and…wait…never mind, just listen below.

If you don’t know, now you know: Raider Klan ain’t takin kindly to any threats. So says Denzel AK Curry and his fellow Raider Klan members Yung Simmie and Robb Bank$ on their new track, “No Threatz”. The dark, infectious, loop featured on the song sounds like nothing short of a Ronny J masterpiece, and hopefully the young producer will act as the main beat contributor to Curry’s upcoming mixtape Nostalgic 64. So far, “No Threatz” will definitely appear on the mixtape as will  “Dark and Violent”, the deadly cut that emerged from Curry in November. If anything, the two releases have proved that Curry is that new fire, and everyone should be on the lookout for the Nostalgic 64 drop.
