Underrated Audio aims to provide you with some dope looks from the last seven days that flew under most peoples' radars. While they may have received front-page placement on HNHH, they didn't get as many views as they deserve, so we shine a little more light on them right here.
This week we highlight a few lesser-known artists that we discovered this past week (or the week before), including Post Malone, Dave B and tshawntrusst. We also have Overdoz's new single on here, because just about everything the West Coast crew does is underrated.
Take a look at the picks in the galleries above.
Overdoz.- Rich White Friends
With some Hit-Boy production on deck, it’s hard to do wrong. Overdoz dropped off a new song about all their rich white friends last weekend produced by the HS87 producer. Just when you get into the vibe, they change it up drastically for the hook—opting for something that sounds a bit like a commercial jingle. It works though, and has us intrigued for Overdoz’s upcoming album 2008. Will 2015 be their year?
Post Malone- White Iverson
Although he’s a brand new artist, Post Malone has the internet ablaze with his release “White Iverson”, produced by Atlanta hitmaker FKi. But don’t expect that typical trap sound from Post Malone, the L.A.-based artist verges on r’n’b. “White Iverson” has him switching it up between singing and rapping, with a drawl that could be credited to his Dallas roots. He stunts on you with ease over the mellowed out production. He’s got a full project with FKi coming on May 3rd.
Tshawntrusst- I’m That Nigga
Tshawntrusst, like Post Malone, is another brand new artist we discovered this past release. He’s already got a deal with Fool’s Gold, thanks to A-Trak, and dropped his first release with the imprint in anticipation of his forthcoming mixtape. The record, “I’m That Nigga,” is another dose of melodic rap with production from Soulection producer Chris McClenney and Rvdical The Kid. Meanwhile, tshawntrusst spins a story about a fictional lady.
Dave B- Do That
Another new rapper to put on your radar (if it didn’t already happen earlier this week). We premiered this new cut from Dave B, who is currently dropping off a slew of “Loosies.” We were impressed by an earlier Loosie, “Leaves”, so we hit up Dave B to officially connect. And voila, here goes the very groovy “Do That.” While the Chance The Rapper comparisons may be inevitable given their similar flow and cadence, don’t get it twisted, Dave B is his own person (and rapper). He’s definitely someone to look out for in 2015.
