THE CUT: Ericdoa is too kinetic to slow down


Soundcloud rappers long shaped what mainstream music looked like (just listen to Drake*). One rapper you're bound to hear more about is Ericdoa. 

Releasing two projects in the span of three months, the 18-year old artist is making a name for himself for infectious emo rap that makes you want to punch dance your angst out. Utilizing a mix of distorted drums and EDM/Dance music Doa sing raps about love and loss. However, his music is so kinetic that you won't notice you're listening to a song about his mental health.

But Doa isn't a one trick pony and knows when to slow it down for listeners. On his slower tracks you'll here angelic background vocals, acoustic strings and stripped lead vocals. 

Ericdoa's music is a roller coaster and in this climate, I think we've all learned to live with the extreme highs and lows. Soon, he's going to be a household name that I'm sure others will try to copy and emulate (see above*).

and my personal fave:

You need to start paying attention to the news

When was the last time you read/watched the news? I'm not talking about reading a headline or posts on Twitter either. I mean when did you really sit down and read a story about something going on in the world? For a lot of you, the answer is never or not too often. I don't blame you, it's easy now to keep your heads down and to shift focus on social media, video games or other mediums. A lot of people I talk to about what's happening in the news couldn't care less about it and would rather spend time on other less tedious things. I understand why too. Honestly, at times there is just way to much shit going on. It's hard to keep up on what's important. Every 24 hours, a different scandal breaks or something new develops with something that broke months ago etc. etc. etc. It's a long winding maze that really does not have an end in sight. Here's the thing. If we turn our backs to whats going on in the world we detach ourselves from every...

The Cut: Teezo Touchdown is raps next viral sensation

Image
  After everything that's happened in 2020, I was starting to think the internet wouldn't have a viral sensation in rap this year. Thank god I was wrong about that and we got Teezo Touchdown whose been releasing a slew of solid songs since the summer. Sonically, I would describe him as Gym Class Heroes meets Trinidad James. He's a genre bender in that one song he can have punk music playing while rapping and the next he'll be letting off some serious old school west coast rap. He hasn't hit it big just yet, but slowly he's been gaining a following and starting to get peeped at by other media outlets. Not mention, I've been seeing a lot of people talking about him on Twitter, so I had to see for myself - I was not disappointed.  Give it a month or two, Youtube/TikTok's algorithm is going to pick him up and then it's donzo. I'm talking remixes to his songs, live performances and probably opening up for like - I don't know - Lady GaGa or Fallout...
