Tre Nyce - Be Nice ( Official Video )

"Vancouver Based, 22 year old Tre Nyce already boasts an impressive resume having worked with the likes of "Swollen Members", "Tech9", "Glasses Malone", and "La Coka Nostra". Following a successful feature campaign on the aforementioned Swollen Members 2009 release "Armed To the Teeth", The "King Of The V" is poised to embark on his crusade for notoriety and credibility amongst the greats of the game today"

When I first started watching this video, I could tell he put alot of time & money into his hustle because the visuals first-hand are dope. Clean flow, everything was put together well.. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the auto-tuned hook, but since watching the video a couple times - It's growing on me. Thumbs up to Tre Nyce. If you wanna hear more from Tre, make sure to check him out at www.TreNyce.com

Takemoney - Stay Schemin' Freestyle ( Video )

I don't really know too much about these guys, just seen the video today for the first time - but I think they did the remix justice, so I had to post it. Takemoney remixed the Rick Ross "Stay Schemin" song & did their thing on the beat. Visuals mimic the original video, but they put their own flare on it. Dope beat, good lyrics, solid track.. Check out the video & look for more from Takemoney in the future on HipHopDraftPicks.com

"Though his beginnings touted him as just another rapper from the City of Bridges, Devin Miles has proven himself to be far from usual. His triple threat talents, as an artist, engineer, and producer have shown those in the music industry that writing him off as “just another” anything would be a big mistake"

Only 20 years old & Devin Miles has already released mixtapes, video's, does show's & continue's to flood the streets with music that show's good vibes. Light up a L, sit back & enjoy the music! More material from Devin Miles coming soon.

Nizell - "I Got It Locked" ( Official Video )

"From perfecting and performing his art around the world. To the debts of prison where he atoned for his mistakes and learned valuable life lessons through his own trials and from those who had a story to tell. He represents the pain and struggle, and now expresses it using the powerful medium which is rap music. His music is deep, his music is real, his music is synonymous with the teachings of someone who has been frustrated and now channels the energy in a positive way."

Since I first heard Nizell, I could tell he had been through alot & had a story to tell. Serving 7 years in prison, he's back on the streets of Toronto and ready to be heard. Nizell is part of the Hip Hop Draft Picks family & you can look forward to seeing more video's from him soon.

With a name that has a well thought out meaning, a message and something to say Gerald has been knocking of the doors of the game.

Justus - "Where's The Love?" ( Official Video )

"Introduced to Hip-Hop at the young age of 5, Justus has been groomed for the rap game since the beginning. At the age of 12 he joined a gospel hip- hop group with his child hood friends called “C.O.R.P.1.” Growing up in the church, the rap group gave Justus a way to express himself through music, and escape from all of the misfortunes he experienced growing up on the lower eastside of Indianapolis."

This video has a strong message. Take your time & actually listen to the lyrics. His management recently had submitted some music for a mixtape, but when I seen this video it definitely caught my attention. Make sure you check out Justus on Facebook.

Phene - "The Spokesman" ( Official Video )

I've heard Phenes music back 6-7 years ago when we were both young & grinding on the Hip Hop message boards to get our music heard. He's still going harder than ever & definitely has a dope style to come with it. Phene delivers a message & positive music. Check out his video & listen to the songs below.

Trell Love ft. Mike Golden - Hold You Down ( Official Video )

"Chicago native, Shantrell D’uan Love is an up and coming Hip Hop artist better known by his stage name: Trell Love. Since the age of 13, Trell has been honing his skills as a lyricist, all the while, committing himself to basketball and his studies. As a recent graduate of Calumet College of St. Joseph, Trell’s highly anticipated mixtape, "Rap Or Go To School" is aptly titled. While completing his degree, many told him to choose to rap or choose to go to school - to silence the naysayers, he chose to do both, successfully."

I personally love Trell's style, wordplay & how he rides the beat. Always a smooth listening track & he show's conistantsy, which alot of rappers lack these days. You can find Trell Love on many various Coast2Coast mixtapes as well as many Hip Hop Draft Picks Mixtapes. Below are a few songs off his mixtape "Rap Or Go To School" which you can download via: www.MixtapeMonkey.com

Julius Myth - "Nightmares" ( Official Video )

"Julius Myth hails from Westchester, NY, where growing up listening to New York’s hip-hop legends molded him into the artist we know today" - His video "Nightmares" released almost a year ago, but i've been a fan of his music since I seen it. The song reminds me of ole' school underground hip hop. Catchy beat, laid back; Julius definitely did his thing on this one. Video was directed by Manhattan's own Jon Kilmer.
