Meraki has a beautiful debut EP here with Baeraki. The Milwaukee raised artist is much more than music, though. She’s a woman among boys. You’ll hear it in the music and hear it from her mouth. She preaches a lot of outspoken truth on this thing we call the Internet, in contrast to many of her peers who tend to get caught up in social traps.
Meraki is brilliant in da stu. She definitely has her own thing going, but also mixes some of that Soulection sound with some of the trap sounds of The Mil. This Baeraki joint is butter. Keep a close eye on this artist. She’s one that we should all be listening to.
Band : Lean Beatz, Pizzle Title : #FreeCheapskate Release Date : September 4, 2016
Lean Beatz delivers a set of grimy records on the #FreeCheapskate dedication tape. The rapper-producer keeps creating. The scene in Milwaukee is taking off and this artist offers a chill alternative sound to the mix.
“I got two bitches with me and they both fine Tryna head back to me crib, said it’s go time”
40oz Dai releases his 40OuncesOfLean project (April 19, 2016). The auto-tune rapper-singer recruits Water.lo, Keyz, Lean Beatz and Goliath to assist him on the Promethazine-friendly beats. His hooks kinda go and the mixing is clean. 40oz will hit harder after he works on his songwriting and uses less Fetty Wap and Young Thug adlibs. The artist has a song on here called “Basement” though, so that’s coo.
His CCM team was also recently placed on DX in the “Wisconsin Soul” feature.
“We was moving, we was booming out the basement She butt naked, shaking all up in the basement Got the work, I bagged it up, up in the basement We was working, we was trapping out the basement”
Band : Lean Beatz, Pizzle Title : Apparently 2 Release Date : December 14, 2015
How Lean Beatz cleaned up his flow in just a couple months is beyond me. The beats have been cold but the other side of the artist really came out swinging on the newest (December 14, 2015). Them first three records are my favorite. The “Outro” is beast too. Lean is good as incorporating haunting sounds into the Trap mix. This is late December music. Pizzle mixed it.
Band : Lean Beatz, Pizzle Title : Apparently Release Date : October 5, 2015
Milwaukee’s Lean Beatz went in on the beats. The rapper has a low key flow but it could still use some work. With that, he’s set the foundation with the trap sounds on Apparently (October 5, 2015) and it’s only up from there.
