3MMR: Episode 52 – “Fall In” by Charley Brown

Phoenix, Arizona, Bird City, the Burning Bird, we’ve brought you a full year of reviews. We brought you 52 different artists, had a couple perfect 10’s, and reviewed some incredible music along the way. This week we bring you more of the same with a dope new song from Charley Brown of the Krown Sound squad. Charley brings a piano bar sound, while speaking  real facts on his relationship with an on-again, off-again ex. The song is full of observational lyricism matched with poignant anecdotes about situations that anyone in love has dealt with.  The song has a mellow laid-back vibe for riding around the city or drowning your sorrows in a bottle of whiskey.

Tucson Hip Hop: The Music Scene to Look Out For in 2019

When the Arizona music scene is mentioned, people automatically think of the Phoenix Metropolitan area and nothing else. This is a bit expected with Phoenix being the capital of the state. However, those who only focus on music artists making moves in the Phoenix area overlook, and deprive themselves of, the talent in other areas. Some of the artists that are often overlooked are those in the Tucson area. From my own experience, I believe this is a HUGE mistake.

3MMR: Episode 49 – “Trillssouri” by Fuego Bentley

What’s good Bird City, Happy New Year and welcome to 2019! I hope everyone made it into the new year without any issues and is ready for some new Arizona Hip-Hop! Right out the gate for 2019, we got the lyrical flame thrower, Fuego Bentley, and his new joint, “Trillssouri”. Rapping over the over Migos’ popular “Walk It, Like I talk it” beat, Fuego aggressively cements his place on the Arizona Hip-Hop scene taunting artists in the area right from the jump, “I’m the rapper that you rappers need to be afraid of/ singing to these women like I’m Keith Sweat, but I still keep the same buzz/”. Fuego keeps a machine gun pace with his lines throughout the entirety of “Trillssouri”, and the track maintains a high level of production value.

3MMR: Episode 33 – “Ice” by Dirty K

 Valley of the Sun, what’s good! It’s that time again, so sit back, relax and let get into this week’s review! This week’s featured artist is Dirty K and his smooth delivery of frozen water on, “ICE”. Dirty K, is a young emcee, and graduate of Hamilton High, repping Chandler, Arizona. From the first note, Dirty K’s sound is smooth over a laid-back beat reminiscent to something you’d hear from Pete Rock and CL Smooth. The most enjoyable feature about this track, is the fact that Dirty stays on the same topic the entire song. Riding the beat with his relaxed delivery, and several memorable quotes, Dirty K creates a smoker “Curren$y-esque” vibe often interlacing references to ice.
