Artist You Should Know: Curt Rivera

Once again the Bull City inbox has been lit up with a gem. This mixtape comes correct and is probably one of the best that I have heard this spring.  One of South Carolina’s brightest and most hard working musical talents, Curt Rivera, is releasing his highly anticipated third mixtape entitled “Become Legendary”.

Rivera comes correct and is ready to drop his style like a shawty getting low to the 808. It’s hard to put a label on his style but that's a good thing because the hip hop industry is flooded with copy cat artists biting each others style. His flow is a little mesmerizing as well.

Artist You Should Know: Tae Bae Bae

Once again the Bull City Inbox has been lit up with another hit. Today’s artist you should know is Tae Bae Bae. Residing in Florida, you can definitely tell it’s a bottom track as soon as you hear the chorus and base line. The joint is so hot that I had four requests in the inbox and one of my homies hit me with a text telling me to check him out.

There is no question that Tae Bae Bae is the voice of Tampa, FL with his lyrical abilities infused with real life testimonies. Tae has always had music in his veins, he first fell in love with music at the young age of 9 years old making his own mixtapes from the radio and recording his voice over them. Growing up fast in the Tampa streets Tae was faced with serious decisions that forced him to put music aside in order to provide for his family.

His first release is out and he is ready to take on all that the music world has to offer. His music is soulful and has a real precense.

Track List:

For an opening I was a bit skeptical when listening to this joint. Had me thinking that Mic was about to take a twist to the dark side or something but then he cut loose in the second verse and all was well again.

Artist You Should Know: Praverb The Wyse

Almost all of the music that makes its way into the Bull City inbox comes directly from the artist or the producers of an artist. This time the music request came from fans of Praverb. Interestingly enough I was already pretty familiar with Praverb’s music as we follow each other on twitter. Every time he puts something out I marvel at his style and instrumental selections. He’s risky with his samples and I like it. So I decided that with fan persuasion it was time to let loose Fredricksburg’s best kept secret.

Here is what we know about him. His real name is Patrick. (I know because I follow on twitter). He was born in Charleston, South Carolina and now resides in Fredricksburg, Virginia. He has been in the rap game for about 12 years and is starting to get a lot of love from people who are recognizing what he is lyrically capable of.
