Nikki Lynette 'Beneath My City' leads new music update

Producer: Nikki Lynette - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming mixtape, Roses N' Guns *Tibs Fav.™

Nikki Lynette drops another fresh, creative track off her upcoming mixtape, Roses N' Guns as she once again adds a rock feel to her raps and singing. It is the latter skill that is illustrated on a hook that reminds me of a motivational Mary J. Blige chorus. Lynette really does her thing on that aspect of the song but that's not to overlook her rhymes and production as well. Her flow on the final verse was fun to ride with and she punctuates the ending with a dope reminder that "everyone on the top had to start from below". Production-wise the guitar really adds an addicting melody and to the feel-good vibe of "Beneath My City" - a record that I can see doin' some big things for her. Check it out above and get ready for the full mixtape, Roses N' Guns on May 18th (shouts 2 RefinedHype). Dope artwork btw, but the amount of cars on the road doesn't accurately depict Chicago traffic, haha.

Down below lies a trio of tracks and a trio of videos to conclude this new music update. Two underground records continue things with the Twitter-inspired "Follow Me" from Chicago's The Primeridian, Lungz, and Astonish and Oakland's Clif Soulo payin' homage to his city's girls over Charles Hamilton's "Brooklyn Girls". I wasn't totally feelin' parts of the verses on the former and the guest feature on the latter, but that doesn't mean they're not worth checkin' out. Also available to check out is the latest from Raekwon (shouts 2 2db) and videos featuring Common interviewing Queen Latifah, B.o.B @ Coachella, and XXL Freshman '10 live concert highlights in NYC. Enjoy!
