Music Monday 2.25.13 Matt C.

Rising artist Matt C is taking over the hip hop game with his word play and versatile flow. The 19 year old rapper hopes to evoke a sense of lyricism back into hip hop. We had a chance to sit down with the young lad and discuss his music.

Matt C's musicianship was first inspired through his love for poetry. But once he was suggested to write a song verse instead of a poem, he fell in love with words in a rhythmic light. Ever since that day, it's been him and his words in tune with beats.

Matt C says that the importance of lyricism and flow is vital. You must be a jack of all trades to be able to thrive on the level as some of the greats such as Eminem, Biggie, and Tupac. Matt C's mixtape Double Devil Conscience consists of covers that he has rapped over to showcase his skill. 

His lyricism showcases his originality and sets the scene of any story.  Matt C's constant grind is unparalleled and he is looking to drop another mixtape during the summer . 

You can download his mixtape Double Devil Conscience at hotnewhiphop.com, datpiff.com, and livenewmixtape.com.  Subscribe and check out his new Don't Funk Up OUR BEAT freestyle on his YouTube page at YouTube.com/TheRealMaTTC.

Music Monday 2.18.13 Evan Trent a.k.a. E. Trent

Up-and-coming artist E. Trent is storming the scene with his creative blend of R&B and Hip-Hop. This 24-year-old Virginia native hopes to inspire others with his beats and his bars. The UxU team had a chance to catch up with him to discuss his music and his grind.

Trent’s love for music and art started at an early age. Before he was writing ciphers, he was an artist and even began classes at the Art Institute of Washington. However, he found his way to the studio and incorporated pen and paper in a different craft. Since then, it’s been history.

As a singer, rapper, and songwriter, E. Trent values the importance of great lyricism and makes it a point to emphasize it within his own lyrics. He looks up to the artists Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Biggie for their words and creativity in their music.

His mixtape Let Inspiration Find Everyone (L.I.F.E.) is Trent’s introduction to the world. His lyrics are honest, original, and play the foreground to an array of laid-back beats. Trent’s hard work and perfectionism limits the amount of singles he releases at a time, but all of them are gold! Don’t expect too much from this artist anytime soon. He is a firm believer that greatness can never be rushed. Until then, listen and download Let Inspiration Find Everyone (L.I.F.E.) at http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/e-trent-l-i-f-e-mixtape.64764.html.

E. Trent will be performing March 2, 2013 in D.C. at the Turntable Restaurant & Disco. If you are in the DMV area, definitely check him out and show some love. He’s also on InstaGram and Twitter UxU fans, so #follow #follow #follow ASAP.

Music Monday 2.11.13 Ryan Daley a.k.a. Daley

Here is another one UxU fans! We want to bring to your attention another DMV hip-hop artist, Daley. We had a chance to sit down with him and talk about his influences and love for music.

This 19 year old DC native is currently a sophomore at Virginia Commonwealth University. His academic focus is honed in on his future aspiration of becoming the next Christopher Nolan, aside from conquering the music world. Daley’s love for creativity in movies and their compelling plots inspire his own stories within his music.

 Interesting enough, music started out as hobby for him. However, Daley has grown to love it more and more as he continues to perfect his craft. Daley’s lyrical style is honest and inspirational. The storytelling within his music and his admiration for strong lyricism is inspired by artists like J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. But growing up, he listened and looked up to the rapper Nelly. He would love to collaborate with him in the future. Right now, Chief Keef, Drake, Kendrick and a little dub step are booming out of his headphones.

Daley’s mixtape Road 2 Stardom shows the awareness that he is trying to reintroduce to the hip-hop world. Daley wants his music to touch the hearts of people worldwide so that they can be aware of the issues in the ghettos. His music caters to the youth as he tries to guide them in the right ways to go about life. His single “Live Life Like” explains how making the right decisions in life are important and will definitely inspire you to do the same.

Listen to and download Road 2 Stardom online at http://indy.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/20325/daley-road-2-stardom.html. His single and a few of his other favorites are included in the mixtape, so make sure you check ‘em out!

Daley is on InstaGram and Twitter!! Follow him ASAP @theeverydaystar and follow UxU @uxudmv to check out more Music Monday artists for the week.

All UxU fans out there, expect to see another mixtape to drop this summer. Be on the lookout for Daley’s music to hit the web soon! Get hip! Remember…Be yourself and Be different!

Music Monday 2.4.13 Colby Moore a.k.a. C.A.M.

We got another good one for y'all today UxU fans. We want to bring to your attention a DMV R&B artist, Colby Moore aka C.A.M. We had a chance to sit down with him and discuss his love for music and his influences.

Colby has a pure, raw sound that he likes to describe as “spacey.” He has profound lyrics that have a more “upfront and in your face style” and a talent that is unprecedented. Growing up, he listened to original R&B legends such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Luther Vandross. C.A.M. has been introduced to all types of music throughout his life ranging from classical Mozart to the Rolling Stones. However, he does have an appreciation for some of R&B’s modern styled music. C.A.M. says that artists including The Weekend, Miguel, and Frank Ocean would be booming out of his headphones. He also listens to a bit of Dru Hill, BJ the Chicago Kid, J. Gourdine, and Wale.

Colby’s new mixtape “Back to the C.A.M Era” shows his versatility and lyrical stretch as an artist. Listening to the mixtape, it is obvious that he is attempting to revitalize the soul in R&B. When asked what his favorite song on the mixtape is, Colby says it would have to the song titled “Lost” because that is what he feels is the state of today’s R&B.  He believes that R&B should go back to its pure sound rather than continuing to mainstream. Colby also says that if the world were perfect, the two artists he would love to do collaborations with, dead or alive, would have to be Rick James and Luther Vandross. That would be his dream.

For all of the UxU fans out there, expect to see another of C.A.M.’s mixtape by the summertime. But keep a look-out for his singles that will begin to drop periodically until then. Get hip! Listen to some of his singles from his SoundCloud and his Mixtape below. Download his mixtape “Back to the C.A.M Era”  on DatPiff.com HERE. He’s on Instagram too you guys! Follow him on IG @colbymoore_.
