Independent SouthWest: 2015 Top Five
It has been a brilliant year as far as DIY indie music goes. It's only right we help celebrate and share some of the best new music dropping from some of the top hip-hop artists in the Southwest. Without further adieux, here are some of our favorite new records to check out. When I say check them out, I mean SUPPORT to the fullest and buy these albums at their respective links provided so you can be sure your hard-earned goes most directly to the artists. You won't be disappointed! In no particular order...
1. G-Life, "One-Five"

Georgelife and DJ Pookie have been holding it down out of Salt Lake City, UT for quite some time with their violinist, Master Q. They relentlessly toured and gained a notorious following doing such. It was at one such tour stop in Albuquerque where I was able to acquire their album in a trade for our SUBLMNL RNSONS album, and I must say that it is an independent masterpiece. While the violin is incorporated in the early end of the album, the whole album presents a perspective that Georgelife has been always working to project musically, but finally achieves with this project. There are also cameos from well known MCs, such as Adlib, 2Mex, Percee P and Luckyiam. While it is feature heavy, Georgelife is not to be overshadowed, but rather complimentary of such MCs, such as his Adlib-assisted collab, "The Reaper", seen below via youtube. Purchase the full album on iTunes now.

While this blog post is not merely at an attempt at shameless promotion, but rather a broad overview of some new SouthWest releases. Still, it would be a mistake to not include the newest project our group has been working on. Please check it out and make sure to give it a listen. We are proud of the responses we have been getting but will continue to work hard and bring you more consistent quality content. Also, if you still have a hunger for more music after reading this entire post, check out some of our show footage below via youtube.
