"Hard" by Rubix Q (Hip-Hop Artist from California(CA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rubix Q with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Hard"
 
"Hard" by Rubix Q is funk gangsta rap with a lighter side. It is full of fresh sounds with an "Old School" influence. Lots of classic synths, but done in a way that makes it feel new. There is definitely a heavy R&B influence present throughout the album that creates a nice flowing undertone. Rubix's delivery is slick, with a rough undertone and yet soulful at times. Highlights are "On Fire" with a solid beat, a little wackiness in the vocals and a funktastic bass line."I Wanna Hold You" is a spacey love song that will help turn up the heat in any room. "JB Soul" takes you back in time as Rubix gives you a little James Brown-esque vocals. If you like party music and G-funk, you'll enjoy this one. [WARNING - EXPLICIT MATERIAL]

"Think About It" by Smooth4Lyfe (Rap Artist from Maryland(MD))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Smooth4Lyfe with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Think About It"
 
"Think About It" by Smooth4Lyfe is an inspirational hip-hop album. The sound complements the motivational concept with cinematic and smooth jazz elements. Smooth has a nice flow to his delivery and a distinct determination is his tone. The arrangements are solid, mixing vintage hip-hop elements with organic elements. The album also features radio skits that are pretty fun. Highlights are "Back On Up," a Club ready jam with heavy electronica influence and a thick beat. The title track "Think About It" certainly "Smooths" it up with Jazz elements and an nice steady "Boom and Clap." "Poetry NIght" is a mesmerizing, yet theatrical track with a light flair. If you enjoy finding excellent up-and-coming rap artists, check out this CD.

"Point Blank Range EP" by Kaliban (Hip-Hop Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Kaliban with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Point Blank Range EP"
 
"Point Blank Range EP" by Kaliban is the real deal as far as true hip-hop goes. This South-Central raised emcee brings game to the table. The lyrics are fresh with a tight flow. There is no restraint whatsoever in Kaliban's delivery....pure confidence. The sounds behind the voice are club worthy and will make the room sticky quick. There is no shortage of huge beats and claps. The nuances in between will keep you thriving for more. The production quality of this album is top-notch and radio ready. Sounds like gold. Highlights are "Bend Over," soon to be a club anthem and sexy as hell. "World of Fantasy" features a cool sped up tape effect in in between thick beats. "Point Blank Range" is revengeful and intense, with a heavy vocal performance. If you like 2-Pac and Kanye West, you'll enjoy this entertaining CD. (WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS!)
