The Milwaukee rap scene continues to provide some unique talent.

As we have repeated constantly hear at HNHH, 2023 was a bit of a dud for hip-hop in the mainstream. It was more so the lesser-known acts and underground talents shouldering the load. That is never a bad thing though, as artists that are not quite at the level of a Drake or Kendrick Lamar do not always get enough credit. This year has been a return to form for the top-flight rappers, but the underground is continuing to churn out some fun and interesting material. One artist that is building something exciting is Milwaukee rapper Niontay. The 25-year-old currently resides in Brooklyn, New York and has been making music since 2021. Today, Niontay just dropped a new single "Halftones," and we wanted to shed light on it.

"Halftones" features RealYungPhil and SURF GANG with a production credit presumably. The 10k signee raps with a druggy flow in a lower register that exudes confidence and an extreme sense of nonchalance. YungPhil also brings a catchy chorus to the table over a dreamy trap beat. All in all it comes together for a cohesive listen that has the potential to do well for Niontay.

On top of the fact that it should do well on its own, "Halftones" should also help carry momentum after a strong 2023 for Niontay. He was busy with features last year, with notable placements for MIKE's Burning Desire. The beginning of 2024 has also been a productive year in that regard, as Niontay was on MIKE's recent effort Pinball, and RiTchie's debut solo tape Triple Digits [112].
