LISTEN TO OUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!!
Producer J.Dapper shares two cuts “memories” and “newfi.” with us this week.
“memories” is the first one and is a guitar-laden lofi-soul piece that is soothing and reflective. From the smooth drum bounce, layered textures and keys, he sure delivers something refreshing and thoughtful for us to rock with.
The second cut “newfi.” has a retro-R&B vibe with its dreamy vibes and soft drum grooves. I dig the vocal samples as well.
Emerging rapper Leeroy Jelks shares a one-off track entitled “runitman.” The gloomy trap track sees Jelks in his element as he delivers an impassioned performance and vivid lyrical stylings. He digs deep into the concept of financial stability and how he is in control of his income.
“runitman” will also appear on his new project entitled broke boy ep.

Winnipeg, MB, Canada-based rapper Mic North delivers something refreshing in his new release titled “Sacrifice.” The record produced by veteran NY producer/DJ Statik Selektah is a piano-driven, mid-tempo track ripe with that distinct boom-bap bounce with a bit of soul. Mic North is in his element for sure and gives a solid impassioned performance ripe with insight and he also shows us what makes him a go-getter willing to go all out to achieve his goals and dreams.
Mic North (Nigel Pahl ) was born in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Winnipeg has been the Murder Capital of Canada from 1981 to 2012.

Mic recorded his first track at the age of 17 with the legendary Buzz mad from the Moonshine Kru. His teenage years were plagued with misguidance and being the only son in a fatherless home led Mic to look for camaraderie elsewhere. Before long, Mic found himself involved with street violence and soon after in a jail cell. After his incarceration, Mic decided he had to change his life for his newborn son and himself. Mic started recording music and got signed to a local record label Heatbag Records in 2011. Mic has worked with such talents as Peter Jackson, Young Noble, Twisted Insane, Goody Grace, Winnipeg Most and more. He has done successful openings for Paul Wall, Lil Scrappy, Freddy Gibbs, Stitches, Riff Raff, Merkules and more. Mic North has started his own independent label Jet City Records. Mic has also chosen to use his music and videography skills to help youth express themselves through digital media production. In 2016, Mic founded Motivation Art Programs (MAP’s) for youth across Canada and his goal is to help inspire the youth for a better tomorrow.
