Legendary Turntabalist and World Champion DJ Grouch blesses the Strombo Show's Blend Mix segment with a tight mix of conscious hip hop celebrating Black History Month.
Tarica June’s mission is to represent the moonlight –that is, to be a light in the dark. Upon reluctantly attempting to categorize, she describes her style as a lyric-heavy combination of hip-hop and spoken word. She prides herself on making music that can't be boxed-in. She writes with purpose, ensuring that her flow does her cleverly- selected beats justice. The result is a highly unique, poetic sound that's worthy of notice.

In Between EP Singles, Kyle Rapps Shows Of Humorous Side With Non-EP Track
As he continues to prep for his forthcoming EP, Re-Edutainment, a project revisiting the classic BDP album, Edutainment, Kyle Rapps holds us over with the fresh, non-EP track "Lazy Dayze" featuring long-time friend and rapper Silent Knight. This particular song, as the title would indictate, is of a more mellow strain and feeds off winter-ridden spirit's desire for the warm days of spring that are, we can all hope, just around the corner. "Lazy Dayze" is dominated by playful keys and synth lines that bounce back and forth while a steady beat, provided by producer Ray Contour, holds down the tempo. Over the beat Kyle Rapps can be heard flexing his comical abilities, opening with lines, "Turn letters like Vanna, never been to Montana / I'm already gifted son, the jokes on Santa." Inspiration on this track was simple for Rapps: "Some days are just lazy," says the New Jersey native, now residing in Harlem. "I wanted to bring the laid back, humorous vibes on this one. It takes me back to when I used to spark El's and write punchlines."
Kyle Rapps' debut EP, Re-Edutainment, produced entirely by Kev Brown and featuring Joell Ortiz, KRS-One, and U-N-I will drop on March 29th.
