LOWFi: “Crooked Halo” feat. Von Wilda [Music Video + Album Stream]

By

Today, prodigious Baltimore / Florida hip-hop collective LOWFi shares a new video featuring Von Wilda. “Crooked Halo” is directed by Adam Ben and captures the grim realities of the 16-year-old MC’s hometown of Baltimore. The track arrives off of LOWFi’s debut project The Allegory, which showcased the trio’s wide range of influences and dynamic lyrical skillset.

The Allegory signals the trio’s first full collaborative work from the bright, musical minds of members Jayy Grams, Von Wilda and Hayelo. The conceptual project is based on Plato’s work ‘Allegory of the Cave’, as it aims to both raise societal questions and answer them through thoughtful lyricism and a fresh, youthful energy. LOWFi also recently announced a run of US tour dates alongside Chris Webby that will see the trio play 11 shows before concluding on November 6th.

You can stream “The Allegory” HERE.

Jah Jr.: “Front Porch” [Music Video]

By

I’m a sucker for hometown anthems (or really any track that represents an artists hometown, you get my point), I was in college when Black & Yellow came out, Kid Cudi representing Ohio was an unbelievable moment in hip-hop for me. So when Dublin, Georgia emcee Jah. Jr released visuals for his track “Front Porch” I knew a heater was afoot.

Jah Jr. embraces the culture of his home in “Front Porch” and I have to give props to Jah for being unequivocally himself in this banger. Rumor has it, the Georgia native is getting set to release a project later this Fall, for now throw “Front Porch” in the whip, you won’t regret it.
