Coming from Chi-Town by way of Huntsvegas but sounding more like Huntsville via Port Arthur en route to BK, Bravo Money dips in and out of Rich Green’s opulent composition in a track so great you’d expect it to come via Codie G.

StayFresh stays killing it. This track is a monster. And Movez is next up on the Midlands crew’s hectic release schedule. StayFresh Presents: Movez – ‘You Can Have It’ is out this October. But while you’re in the mood, make sure you cop Macca’s excellent Reborn.

We’re fans of pretty much everything Kentucky’s Johnny Spanish does. His free album The Lip was a great introduction to his skills as hook writer, singer and rapper, all of which are present and correct on his homie T-Razor’s new smoking junt.

This is some seriously exciting shit. We’ve had Bumpin’ Bumpin’ bumpin around the inside of our heads for the last week and now dubstep producer Young Live twerks and revamps V-Nasty and swagged-out based princess Kreayshawn’s Lil B, D-Lo and DB The General inspired raps. You’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more from Kreayshawn in the coming weeks as we approach the release of her ‘Kittys & Choppas’ mixtape. But until then, and as always, it’s FREE V-NASTY.

Our homies Walkmaster Flex and Soft Money over at the excellent Space Age Hustle blog have joined the dots between the new wave of lo-fi bedroom studio cloud rappers, based deities and Alabama time travellers. And the result is pretty astounding. Major props to all involved, not least Gucci Jade La Fleur for the masterful cover. Here’s what they had to say about the project:

“Make no mistake: “cloud rap” is not the newest sub-sub-sub-genre of rap music we’re tying to forcefully bring to life. Instead, “cloud rap” is more of a thematic movement: not all rappers make cloud rap, and not all rappers that make cloud rap make it exclusively. However, in 2010, we’ve seen a lot of new artists singularly focused on stepping outside of rap’s comfort zone and doing what they want with beats and lyrics. While Lil B’s rising #based movement and Outkast’s otherworldly personalities make them both patron saints of the style, new artists like Main Attrakionz and G-Side have added their own flavors to the mix (lo-fi sensibilities and trance-like synths, respectively). It’s not just production-wise, either. Consider the way Main Attrakionz flip “O Let’s Do It” on “I’m Back on Deck”, or the screwed-up remix of Wiz Khalifa’s “Up” from Odd Future. These guys bless the track with their own unique visions to create a sound all their own.”

Lowkey Oakland mobb soul from Lil Chris of Young Hustlaz, the five-member collective headed up by SH favourite Young Gully. Make sure you take a minute to read this article on Gully in the East Bay Express, which does a great job of rightly portraying him as both gas man and aspiring revolutionary. ‘West To the Deep’ is produced by Cinematik Muzik.

Even though he’s clearly talking about himself, you can’t help but treat the assured statement on the hook to Macca’s 0’10 Spaceship Anthem as your own grind motivator, so fervent and infectious is his belief that he’s got next (despite being one of numerous young Midlands firestarters in the StayFresh crew). And if the below preview featuring Saf-1 and Trilla isn’t enough to get you to concur and cop his new mixtape, you might not have the sound on.
