Meet Mr. 'Blique aka "Mr. Nobody." He isn't from Chicago, nor does he live here but his music has inspired me for some years now. Basically, the reason I started rhyming. He's a suburban rapper born and raised in Jackson, Michigan which is similar to my background. His music is lyrical and motivative. It has and still keeps me on my Ps and Qs. The first project that I heard fully was entitled, "Alls Well That Ends" in 2010. All of his projects are lengthy and they are all worth it because they're all FREE on DatPiff. Everybody loves FREE and good quality! Around the time his project dropped, I reached out to him and received useful advice. He's a soulful guy. My favorite songs on that project are Apollo, Lookin' for the Fame, Mr. Nobody and Guns DO Kill People. I highly recommend you to give him BOTH ears because his lyrical schemes are nuts!

Right after "Alls Well That Ends," he released another project just 4 months after entitled, "Long Daze Scuffed Nikes." That showed me his progress in his flow, style and delivery. All of his music has a Hip-Hop style with an Emo Rock tendon. He raps off of beats produced by Johnny Juliano and more! Some of my favorite tracks on "Long Daze Scuffed Nikes" are Brand New, Move It, Guitar Gently Weeps and You and I.

Supa Bwe's The Re Re

I've heard about this new song scrolling down my Twitter timeline this past weekend by an artist named SupaBwe. I've introduced him before but to refresh your memory he's 1/3 of the group Hurt Everybody. He's his own writer and producer which is DOPE because not only does he produce for himself but he produces for his group. I've also noticed that he's not the only producer in his group which is a plus because he and his group can collaborate on beats.

A N Y W A Y 

His sound is very unique. He reminds me of Chance the Rapper the way he sings and pronounces his words. The song is called "The Re Re" and repeats over and over, "I just came to Re-up. I ain't come to party. I'm just here to serve you." I'm pretty sure it's a drug related song but it's very rival to me. The bass is powerful and it eases your ears to his sound. He does a lot of yelling, which shows passion in my opinion. This guy has much potential. He and his group have a definite future. Hurt Everybody has over 4,400 fans on SoundCloud and 48 songs to listen to. I'd say give Hurt Everybody a listen.

Tink or Dreezy?

Ayo! So I heard Timbaland is producing for Tink's new upcoming project. I'm partially jealous because Timbaland is the closest affiliated with Missy Elliott. I really adore her. ANYWAY..Tink is a singer/rapper from Chicago. I was introduced to her music by Ricky Rue. I really liked her style but I enjoyed her singing more than her rapping just because she actually sounds good. I've watched many of her videos previously and they've earned my respect because she's hustling. It's rather difficult for any female to be heard nowadays and I stand by any female trying to do something positive.

Along with Tink, I ran across another female rap artist by the name of Dreezy. Tink and Dreezy were once friends and then enemies. I've heard so much controversy over how the conflict began and how it ended. I do know that they both dated the same guy who was Mikey Dollaz from a Chicago rap group M.I.C. I heard both songs from the two female artists dissing one another and that's how Dreezy got more exposure.

When I heard Dreezy, I thought she was very masculine but I don't blame her. That's the way you have to approach this type of hustle as a female artist. I like Dreezy to some degree but I can't relate to her. That's where the gap is. Dreezy's buzz was CRAZY after releasing her remix to Lil Herb's & Nicki Minaj's "Chiraq" right after she released her 13 track mixtape entitled "Schizo." Both ladies are talented and I suggest everyone to give them a listen or two.

RickyRue Tuesdays!

Okay, I've mentioned him before and I'm doing it again. I've honestly figured that our generation is "thirsty" for fame or any type of recognition that'll make you feel important. This is Ricky Rue. He became a "rapper" last year sometime and ever since, he hasn't stopped. This is good, that he's aware of consistency. It's also terrible that he can't rap. BUT..somewhere out there, there are people who love him. I will say, releasing material every Tuesday isn't a bad idea but does he have a plan?

This week, he released his own version of Bobby Shmurda's Hot N*gga. Let me warn you people, it wasn't the best but he tried. In less than 24 hours of promotion for his new release, he had a max of 145 views and 5 likes and 5 dislikes on YouTube. What does that tell you? The people want something else OR his target needs to change. This reminds me of when the rapper Waka Flocka Flame first started with his first hit single "Oh Lets Do It." Waka had gone into the business knowing he couldn't rap but his goal was strictly to turn the club up every chance he got. As for Ricky Rue, neither tactics were successful. Knowing Rue personally, shows that he really could careless. I don't knock the attitude but he doesn't have a plan.

Please watch his latest video Hot N*gga Remix (#RueTuesdays) and leave some feedback for Rue.
