Hakeem Paragon is one of the most talented artists outta Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He’s a storyteller, and you can feel his passion every step of the way – the fire. Big fan of this project (January 7, 2017). Also, this mixing style is becoming a staple of Milwaukee Hip Hop. Bunch of haunting bangers coming outta The Mil now a days. Hakeem killed this shit, though. This is all him. Enjoy Paragon’s Ladder.
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.
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”
