Cory Gunz: Datz WTF I’m Talkin ‘Bout

‘Mixtapes’ are blessings for hip-hop fans, always. Son of rapper Peter Gunz, Cory Gunz is one hell of an act who should breaking into everyone’s urban playlists in a few years’ time. Bold prediction, yes, but amateur he is not. Datz WTF I’m Talkin Bout, his second mixtape, is full of straight-up, no-apology tunes that “keep things real” (in the truest sense of the genre) and might just be his potential ticket to the limelight.

Neon Hitch: Happy Neon

While everyone is waiting for Beg, Borrow, and Steal, it might be a good option to check out Happy Neon first. Neon Hitch, the self-proclaimed gypsy who’s slowly making waves in the hip-hop world as the new “it” collaborator, shows a soulful side via her new EP. She glides through existentialism in style, thanks to the eclectic harmonies by producer Happy Perez.

Anhayla: If I Was

Combine alternative hip hop, r&b, and a healthy dose of rhythm & blues, and you get Anhayla's latest mixtape entitled If I Was. Hailing from Richmond, Va, Anhayla Stanley was originally born in Norfolk and began singing as early as five years in church. As stated on her website, music was a childhood friend she kept throughout adulthood.

Kevin Michael: Brainwa$h

Breaking news: not only Ke$ha can rock the dollar sign, but so do newcomer Kevin Michael in his new “meditative” mixtape. Channelling Justin Timberlake and at times, early Chris Brown, Kevin’s sleekly-produced collection “Brainwa$h” is a formidable alternative to the (sometimes annoying) dubstep-infested RnB music of late.
