MulaManDam is an artist, producer, and audio engineer from Long Island. Mulamandam has become a staple name for the underground New York music scene. And now it looks like he has cracked the code with this huge hit record, “Knuck & Buck.”. This record has currently set the city’s streets on fire! Mula’s sound on “Knuck & Buck” embodies the soft chill and playfulness of the sexy drill, but he twists it with a deliberate smooth, catchy drill flow. His vocals are melodic and Cassie-lite smooth, thus creating a track that can hypnotize you into singing along while you are out enjoying the NYC nightlife. This song is a party starter, and he has successfully managed to turn this track into a moment. Mula has been on a hot streak lately, heating up the city and performing at every popular show and venue. At each show, he brings out a large crowd consisting of beautiful women and close friends. Mula’s team is all in-house and consists of a collective group of artists, engineers, and producers that he collaborates with; he's known since childhood, and they are responsible for most of his production. He and his team are definitely the next wave, and I think everyone should be on the lookout for bigger moves from Mulamandam.

Over the past few decades, rappers have teamed up with artists from other genres. They've gone out of their comfort zones to show how they can create magic, even with unlikely pairings. Yvng Legacy has figured out a way to combine three different genres of music and pour them into one song. He combines a modern R&B style with a pop and punk rock style in the absolute best way possible. Yvng Legacy takes this strange combination and creates a beautiful masterpiece of a song. He also manages to bend three different genres of music to create a super genre of music called the pop-punk R&B genre. Over the last few years, Yvng Legacy has grown into a relatively versatile artist, a better singer than rapper, but still exceptional at both. Often compared to Tory Lanez, the young star has transcended a lot of his peers and is on the road to becoming the next household name.

Queens melodic rapper TURKNY has set the tone for the music game with his new hit single “Can’t Front." He is known for his appealing vocal tone and his hit-making ability. TURKNY is a versatile artist and can commit to any type of track he decides to bless. In his recent single “Can’t Front” he takes the “Body On Me' sample and flips it into an instant modern hit. His perfectly mixed vocals combined with his simple catchy hook and fire word play all came together to create this massive record that has been on the radio for the last 6 weeks straight. TURKNY has been co-signed by some of the biggest DJs and radio personalities in New York, like DJ Drewski, DJ Will, and GabeP from “On The Radar”. His  sound is sonically amazing and makes you want to keep listening to him, but when you pair it with his dope content and his fire lyrics, it becomes a masterpiece. I've found myself riding through the streets of New York bumpin this track (Can’t Front) on repeat

Long Island rising star ‘Maui Mac’ took his hustle from the streets to the industry. Mac has been around and has had the co-sign from some of the biggest artists that have been in the rap game. Maui Mac has the entire package: the rap aura, clothes, style, flow, and charisma for the rap game. As a seasoned artist, he has been on the rap scene for some time now, linking up with many different industry rappers and executives. He has gained a lot of inspiration from the trap. Mac is a master of variable flows and hefty, bass-driven beats. He quickly rose through the trap underground with his consistency of dope videos, singles, and his Maui Mac flashy lifestyle. I feel like he gives the streets hope, and he shows the people that you have to wake up and get to it. Maui Mac hit the road for a while, moving around with artists like Lil Migo, Black Youngsta, Fastcash Cmoney, and many others. I think a new Maui Mac project is long overdue, but something tells me it's closer than we think.

'MO DUBB' IS HEADING TOWARD STARDOM!

by TRAPLAND
Published on Jan 20, 2023, 5:43 PM

‘MO DUBB” is a multi-talented singer/rapper and song writer from Brooklyn, N.Y. And make no mistake: MO DUBB is a star. He stands out because his approach is very melodic, but he can also come and give you some fire bars and flow on a hip-hop track. Case and point his "ghetto and ratchet" verse; he went dumby! on that and dropped some fire bars. But then you go and listen to his “Water” cover, and it has a whole other fire melodic sound. I think people also need to recognize how strong his pen game is.

Mo Dubb’s ability to go back and forth between singing and rapping is impeccable; he does it effortlessly. He is a versatile artist and can deliver on any type of beat or any genre of music. Talent is an understatement. He is easily one of the most gifted artists I've ever covered. His music crosses between actual scene-setting and mood, but his songs are broadening in scope. MO DUBB spikes the r&b music with a bounce of hip-hop and creates a middle ground. His vocals are strong and pure enough to turn a rap song into an R&B one if need be. Even while straddling the hip-hop world, he never loses the smoothness R&B requires. At a time when so many pride themselves on being genre-benders, he remains a formalist. Mo Dubb has the complete package: the look,the talent, the dancing skills, and the charisma. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for him.

Hip-hop is a young man’s game, and it appears that RTM SWAYY is dominating it. Lately you can’t go through social media without seeing RTM SWAYY’S photo, video or name. In addition, he has recently performed at the IAMSTRONGISLAND AWARDS, which are presented by DC3, a well-known hip-hop historian and Long Island legend. At that award show, he would receive the title of "BEST NEW HIP HOP ARTIST OF THE YEAR."Under the management of hip hop star "PHRESHER," RTM SWAYY has grown to be a crucial component of the Long Island hiphop landscape and has been acting as a link between the boroughs and Long Island.
RTM SWAYY has collaborated with some of the city's top artists in the last year (ROWDY REBEL, JAYDOT GEEK, DIANY DIOR, R2R MOE, and others). And it appears that this is simply the beginning for him. He has also been on some of New York's most popular platforms, including "STILL GOT DA JUICE," "I HEART RADIO," "TALK'N HOT," "THE COCO SHOW," and "BURN AFTER ROLLING," to name a few.
The young artist presently has 46,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and his recent two YouTube releases "Make it Rock" ft JayDot Geek and R2R MOE have over 100,000 views, and his song "I'M HERE" has over 200,000 views. His recent hit "JUST SWAYY" has gone viral on the internet! Everyone is using the sound in their reels, stories, tik tok’s, and snapchats. I'm not lying, I'm guilty as charged! I've used his song in a couple of my reels, and I think today was the third time I used it on my story this week. Since its release, RTM SWAYY's recent single "JUST SWAYY" has been playing on the radio. HOT 97's DJ DREWSKI was the first to play it, and now POWER 105's DJWILL is. SWAYY has gotten co-signs from some of New York's best DJs, including: DJ SOSA, DJ MIXXI PAYNE, DJ SUPERSTAR JAY, and DJ SCOOTA.

GVO YEN DELIVERS SOME NEW FLOCC ON HIS LATEST DROP ‘YEN SZN’

by TRAPLAND
Published on Jan 7, 2023, 5:43 PM

Two summers ago, GVO YEN’s hit song ‘NEED A GIRL’ was being played out of every Bluetooth speaker in the five boroughs, he was a relatively small drill rapper from BROOKLYN but since then he has managed to become one of the leaders of the NYC music scene. GVO YEN Is widely known for his hit-making ability. He has been able to flip these fire drill samples and create music that has a nostalgic sound transfused with the modern hip-hop sound.
By re-inventing easily recognizable hits like ‘SONG CRY’ by Jay Z or ‘Beat It’ by Michael Jackson (both on YEN SZN) GVO YEN discovered the cheat code for winning over mass fans and becoming a juggernaut in this music industry. All of his songs gives catchy and viral; each time he drops a record I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see what he put out! I call him “Mr. Never Miss” because exactly that he does not MISS! every drop is FUEGO!
This album was exactly what I expected. I knew we were going to get some litt samples (Need A Girl pt.2) ft YVNG LEGACY catchy anthems (K.I.Y.B) ft Connie Diamond and Deveye and some dancing heat for the streets (All In). I didn’t know how I felt about "‘ALL IN’ at first but that track grew on me and became one of my favorite tracks. ‘Song CRY’ was a clever and unexpected flip, that Jersey Drill came out of nowhere and surprised me. I wasn't expecting that sound at all, nonetheless, I found myself bumping that track on repeat 10 times in a row. This is GVO YEN’S third album and I’m here for it! I enjoyed the tape and can’t wait to see what’s next.

HAS THE "HELLO EXCUSE ME" RAPPER BECOME "THE KING OF NEW YORK" OVER NIGHT!

by TRAPLAND
Published on Jan 6, 2023, 5:43 PM

DEVEYE arguably may have the crown of New York, tucked away deep in FARROCK somewhere. To some people, it may seem like he is an overnight success but to the people who have been a part of his journey, we all know the blood sweat, and tears he put in. From the first time I sat down with him in his hood and interviewed him on his block I knew he was destined to be a star. Deveye has collaborated with some of the biggest names in NY like Connie Diamond, Keen Streetz, Dyce Payso, and more.

For such an imposing rapper with such a versatile style, his approach is often at odds with the safe choice of being a grassroots rapper. DEVEYE’S relentless work ethic combined with his indefatigable promotional methods and his natural and easy feel for music makes him the undeniable hip-hop star he has become. He can fit in any pocket whether it be a drill beat a boom bap beat trap beat or even an R&B banger no matter what you throw at him he will find a way to lace the track.

The Farrock artist has coined the name the “ENERGY GOD” and he doesn’t fall any bit short of the name. I’ve seen Deveye perform well over two dozen times and I’ve never seen him come off tired or lethargic no matter if there were 5 or 500 people in the crowd DEVEYE is going to put on a show and bring an electric energy to the venue. I’ve personally watched him turn the ‘DREW CLASSICS MUSIC FESTIVAL’ up while on crutches after spraining his ankle at a show the day before.

DEVEYE has secured relationships with some of the top DJS, A&R, managers, artists, promoters, and publicists. He has had multiple records hit both major radio stations (HOT 97/ Power105 ) like “Movie” ft. Milani Bandz “K.I.Y.B w. GVO YEN “Deveye this Deveye That” “BQE” “Hello Excuse Me” and ADD IT UP ft. Dizzle Raw. all have received major radio spins. All the major NY DJs have given Deveye the stamp: DJ DREWSKI DJ SPAZO DJ WILL and the biggest of them all DJ FUNK FLEX has given DEVEYE his flowers and dropped his record during major AIR time. DEVEYE bullied his way through the door and has earned every ounce of respect he is given and I don’t see him slowing down any time soon!

Story is on a quest for greatness, from the professional basketball court to the music industry he hasn’t lost a stride. Story has always been an outlier. He was a top recruit basketball player in high school and a star athlete in college /professional basketball and now he is one of the biggest upcoming rap stars in NYC. The rapper is no stranger to the big moments and the bright lights and I think this is one of the reasons why he is standing out amongst the THOUSANDS of rappers in NY.

I’ve been watching him for some time now, I first discovered his talent via the notable hip-hop freestyle platform “On The Radar” he delivered a stinging performance, and in addition to his performance he was draped in the latest fashion trends, he effortlessly exuded style with his impeccable fashion sense and curated ensemble. Tracks like “MOOD ” and his recently released single “I KNOW” have transcended his career and have created separation between him and the crowd. The rapper’s melodic approach to his music allows him to create timeless hits across any genre of music. Between his stylish flare and his ability to inherent the melodiousness of sound in his hooks and verses each of these attributes allows him to cross over into today’s mainstream hip-hop industry. STORY is an artist to have on your radar for 2024 and beyond.
