Shout out to all the artists who continue to make dope music without a deal. And if you have a deal that’s not major, shout out to you as well. Basically, shout out to anyone continuing to stay true to their craft and making dope music that knows no bounds. That’s what this column was built for and is celebrating. Now go enjoy your weekends, suckas. Sound off on our Twitter (@TheSource). If you can do better yourself, submit a track or video to SYLR@thesource.com.
 
 
 
 

Mick Jenkins – “Leonidas”

The Chicago emcee continues to hold our attention with his lyrics. This is the third single off of his upcoming The Water[s] project which drops in February.


 
Juxx Diamondz (feat. Da Villinz) – “All My Friendz”

In case you wanted a street raised lesson on the people you surround yourself with, here’s one straight from Brownsville.


 
Julian Malone – “Fear”

The 2080 (formerly 2008ighties) artist self produced this cut, which takes a deeper look at Ju’s constant fears.


 
Denzel Curry & Deniro Farrar – “Bow Down” (Prod. by D.K.A.D.)

These two emcees have been making relatively large waves in their hometowns and nationally. And now you’re getting close to bowing down in case you don’t already know, no Beyoncé. Peep the interview we just posted up online on Denzel as well.


 
Alex Wiley & Kembe X – “Know Normal” (Prod. by The Innovatorz)

The two Chicago emcees link up for what seems like an onslaught of new music from Wiley. But we ain’t mad at that. You can catch Alex Wiley in Chicago tomorrow at Reggie’s with some special guests.


 
Ken Rebel (feat. Jedi-P & Smoke Dza) – “Yearch” (Prod. by Don Kevo)

The kid is making moves like he’s mainstream. Just wait till he breaks that glass ceiling Kanye speaks so highly of. And in case you didn’t know, Smoke DZA will be releasing his next album independently. Congratulate the man.


 
The Wow – “Talk My Sh*t”

Emcee KO the Legend and producer Balthazar Getty release their first single as the LA duo get ready for their Spring album. Expect some heavy hitters on the album.


 
Brill – “Tell Me”

Yes, SaveMoney has a RnB singer. And yes, he can hold his own. Happy belated birthday to that kid.
