The Contender

posted in: Artist Features • Urban

Detroit, Michigan. Home to rappers like Royce da 5’9″, Obie Trice, Proof, Black Milk and”of course”Eminem. With a pedigree like that, up-and-coming Motor City MCs know they have to come correct right out of the gate. Hostyle Muggshot, a member of the Woofpac collective with rappers J-Kidd and Moe Dirdee, does just that, unapologetically delivering his hustler manifesto. On I Am Focused, the rapper declares, When I’m looking for the best I am all I find, over an onslaught of grinding guitars. Tracks like I Don’t Sweat and Can’t Hold Me Back will drive that point home even further. On the latter, Hostyle Muggshot promises to keep my name in the air like fragrance while shrill keyboards up the urgency. Future takes off at a gallop, with the rapper spitting clever lines like I cope, I never lose hope, I bounce off the ropes, I’m a fighter. Looks like Detroit may have another hip hop heavyweight to add to its hall of fame.
