Killeen, Texas rapper GrimSoulja releases music video for "PoundTown". We spend a lot of days connecting with different artists and learning about them in a way that goes deeper than their Spotify Discography. You take away music and all we’re left with are the relationships we’ve made, which is why its so important that we not only feature good musicians on here but also support them and try to build a genuine connection. GrimSoulja is definitely an artist to watch out for. One of the strongest tools at a rapper’s disposal that can set them apart from other artists is the tone of their voice. It’s an underrated quality that often goes unnoticed, but we are sure if most of us think of our own favorite rappers, each of them would have a distinct and memorable vocal quality.

New Orleans, Louisiana music artist Lil Aaron drops music video for "Talk My Sh*t" produced and directed by AYYTYRAN. New Orleans is full of young, talented, and hungry rappers who make a case as to why they’re next up on a daily basis. While there are way too many genres to even name off the top of our head, We feel like Lil Aaron is certainly a talent who has to be up next to go mainstream, and after listening to quite a bit of his music, it just feels like his competition in the industry comes nowhere close to touching his skills. At the end of the day, this record is a fantastic addition to Lil Aaron’s consistently growing discography. Both the song and video are top-notch, and Lil Aaron’s potential is truly unbelievable. "Talk My Sh*t" is a masterpiece for anyone who is a fan of New Orleans most notorious sound, and we think it’s safe to say that Lil Aaron isn’t someone to mess with after building one of the most notable career foundations in recent memory.

Florida rapper Onaa B. delivers visuals for "Make A Movie". When it comes to truly not caring about offending others and especially not catering to anyone’s feelings, in particular, Onaa B. can take the crown and run with it. She speaks what’s on her mind whether it’s topics about making movies or other typically controversial issues, and she have no apologies once her opinion hit her audience. This sort of grittiness and unapologetic behavior has partially led her to her place onto NOLAZINE, but her lyricism and ways of delivering these topics have got to be the other factors that add to her notoriety. She never shy away from confrontation and, in fact, she go out of her way to let it be known, so you know a female music artist as daring as her has something important to say, whether you agree or not. Throughout the entire song, Onaa B paints a few beyond vivid pictures about some of the most discussed and debated topics in the music industry today, going into detail about hypothetical situations that would unfold if it were up to her. Onaa B don’t seem to get the respect she deserves in the industry from our perspective. Maybe this is due to her controversial nature or aggressive demeanor, but her flow is insane, her wordplay is pretty much unmatched by anyone else, and her attitude is off the charts. So we definitely have high expectations as we're sure all her other fans do as well. Be sure to watch into "Make A Movie", and follow Onna B on instagram

Emerging as a leading name out of his state, rising talent Lah Bxa is here to make a loud entrance onto NOLAZINE with the anthemic offering, "My Own".

Morgan City, Louisiana music artist PC5ive releases visuals for "Paper" featuring Nell Savage. "Glock Party" is the name of this brand-new hit and after giving it our initial listen, we knew our premonitions were correct. Although they sound so different, it’s the change of pace about halfway through that really makes this song truly dynamic and impressive. The production is built through blithe keys mixed with relaxed, lighthearted synths, refreshing percussion, and some impactful yet toned down drums. This beat paves the way for PC5ive's voice to shine from the moment of its inception until the very last second of the record. We just became big fans of PC5ive today after listening to his new single, and we know he will become a fan of NOLAZINE after this article as well. His unique ability to switch up styles and come off in different ways depending on the type of song he’s creating. We came across a new song he had with Nell Savage and we had to check it out.
