A rapper’s career can sometimes mirror the arcade edition of Street Fighter 2. Many spend their time in the game fighting their way across the map, using hip hop music as their Hadouken as they face the opposition. However, many artists have struggled to defeat the new challengers that arose as the sound and the genre reached new levels. In order for an artist to survive, one would need to provide the change needed to press continue when the countdown on their popularity begins…and this is exactly what CHH veteran Omega Sparx has done. This juggernaut of an emcee had […]

Here at Rapzilla, we get a lot of press requests. There are tons of artists, producers, etc. that hit up the team and ask for a feature story, a song post, among other things.

Palace Wants to Show Off Versatility in ‘Never Too Soon’
“Everybody raps. The challenge to me in music nowadays is coming up with a melody that is catchy enough to have two opinions. One opinion: I hate his voice. Or the second opinion: I just can’t stop listening to this song. Those are the reactions I want,” explained Palace. In case you can’t tell, Christian Rap artist Palace isn’t a rapper’s rapper. Yeah, you may have seen him spit some bars with God Over Money artist Bizzle, former rapper Sevin, and GS, but there is more to Palace then what you’ve seen on Instagram videos. You’ll hear it too when […]

This NF Playlist Tells the Rappers Story From Beginning to End [Listen Here]
Five years ago, the image of a man mummified in caution tape introduced me to NF. His lyrical claim of being “dangerous” gained some credibility as his “Intro” played through my speakers. When his debut album released and he invited us into his mental Mansion, I knew there was something different hiding behind his familiar delivery. Comparisons to artists, specifically Eminem, turned out to be a catch-22. His sound familiar and accessible, but too similar for some as he entered the scene. With each new release, his journey played out with sincere vulnerability and genuine authenticity. This “REALness,” and NF’s […]
