Artist Spotlight: Team Swerve

Remember when Beats4thoughts use to promote underground artist looking for some exposure?  Well those days are upon us again, Rejoice! Holly Starks, Hoffa Billz, KayFly, and Derrick Swerve create Team Swerve. Four rappers from NYC with the motivation and dedication to break in to the rap game.  I emphasize on the word motivation because these dudes know what it takes to get to the next level. When I first checked out their music videos, I swore that these guys were already signed.  Their ability to make these sick music videos and potential hit records is exactly whats going to get them a record deal. Hopefully we will be seeing some more of these guys soon on this site. Check it out for yourself. Better Off (Holly Starks ft. KayFly) : WorldStarHipHop.com - 4.68 million views.

Featured Artist: H.N.O

"We're two artist born and raised in Poughkeepsie,NY. We bring more to the table then most . We're extremely versatile and do a lot of different genre's. We bring a whole new swag and we feel like were the next big thing. Our music speaks for itself". -  H.N.O The group H.N.O includes Ice The God & Chubz. These two young artist are hungry. I got at least three emails from them asking for a feature on the site. I didn't find it annoying, they are vey  persistent.  They defiantly have the qualities needed to be huge hip-hop artist. Drink It up Is one of my favorite tracks from H.N.O. The hook is pretty tight.  "Your Ass Thick like a phone book, And I've been meaning to find a few numbers."

One thing i like about H.N.O is how they can relate to the fellas and the ladies in their track. Side Chick Remix is a catchy track. It's something I can defiantly hear on the radio. This remix features tree cities own, T-Swiffa.

Last Hope is the sickest track i heard from H.N.O.  Chubbz goes in on his verse once again. Ice  rips his verse . They both killed the track. Their flow was on point.

Afro Butterfly:Originallity Kills

"Michael Uzowuru aka Afro Butterfly, the young talented production assistant to the mighty Sa-Ra creative partners, is back with a new beat tape. After landing production work with Nicky D’s, Ev4n Holt, and Brandun DeShay and dropping his “The Mellowest Trip” beat project, he returns with an 8 track tape that’s sure to blow your mind. The IE beatsmith flips irregular samples and laces them with rugged drum patterns. The finished product sounds like something reminiscent of a Stones Throw vibe. Rappers, singers, and listeners can all enjoy these tagless beats from Afro Butterfly." contact info: michaeluzowuru@yahoo.com, aim: micha3lwho twitter: @michaeluzowuru Bandcamp: Here
