Written Review | SavedGem | Waste Ur Love

Written by Ryan Righteous (Trackstarz) When I first heard “Waste Ur Love,” I was struck by how genuine it felt. There’s something about Saved Gem’s delivery that doesn’t try too hard — it just is.

Written Review | Al Casso | Celestial Rise

Written Review | Al Casso | Celestial Rise

 I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Al Casso’s new album “Celestial Rise”. This project is a straight-forward, gospel-grounded CHH project that wears its convictions on its sleeve. The album moves with altar-call urgency—short hooks, clear scripture-soaked statements, and beats designed to make the message stick. Celestial Rise is purpose-built for believers who want worship […]

Written Review | “Where Da Ghost” | (Justo Chalaire & Bo Fisher)

I recently hosted an Independent Artist Spotlight with Justo Chalaire and Bo Fisher, and the same clarity of mission they spoke about shows up here—outward-facing, invitational, and team-oriented.

Single Review | Jai Lynn

I recently sat down for another installment of the “Independent Artist Spotlight”  with H-Town’s finest rapper/singer sensation, Jai Lynn.  I was already impressed with the body of work that he has put out, but nothing tells me more about a man than a face-to-face conversation. And believe me when I say I was impressed with […]

RenderLight| Breathe Album Review| @Media_FE @Chicangeorge @Trackstarz

  As a Tastemaker for various CHH and rap websites, I at times have to take a break from hip hop. During that time, I usually listen to instrumentals (for music I’m making) or worship music. Being a fan of indie artists, this leads me to this review for RenderLight and their project “Breathe.” Starting […]
