Hidden Gem – an idiom which means something which is extremely outstanding and not many people may know about.

Later this month, I will be kicking off my ‘Hidden Gems’ playlist. There are so many talented artists in the world who fall on deaf ears all because they have no cosign; and I figured, with all the signed rappers, journalists and entertainers who view my site, why don’t give these artists a platform instead of hiding them on a private Soundcloud playlist? I mean, if you love an artist, you’d want them to succeed, right?

Check out this week’s picks below.

Maliibu Miitch – ‘Crush On You’

Hailing from the South Bronx, Maliibu Mitch channels in her inner Lil Kim with her remake of the Queen Bee’s 1996-single, “Crush On You” which featured Junior Mafia’s Lil Cease. With her undeniable sex appeal and New York attitude, I’d say she’s done the Hardcore single some justice.

Vanni – ‘Friday’

A regular feature on the site, Vanni returns with a new record about a day everyone loves, “Friday.” Though some view Friday as the end of their work week and a time to party, all Vanni is looking forward to is his paycheck.

Over the AndreOnTheBeat-produced cut, the “Sexy Love” curator spits everything we’re thinking – from the annoying bank fees to the dreams of never having to worry about a dollar ever again. Stream below.
