If there’s one thing we are pretty confident about, is that underground music is and will always be the newest sound and the force to drive the music industry forward. This is the reason we place such an emphasis on giving underground and emerging artists a platform, so the artists coming up today, are the big acts of tomorrow. With that in mind, we are extremely excited to update our Demon Discography! Our playlist which features nothing but underground artists. The last time we updated the playlist dates back in October of 2020, so we are super excited to share with you guys the music we have been bumping over the last couple of months.

This months update features a ton of new music from names we have featured here before as well as some artists we are hoping to feature including; Krew$, Foggieraw, Che Ecru, Tadafi, Serena Isioma, Stephen Jailon, Hidden Hills, Elujay & J.Robb, The Code, Lo Village, Alycia Bella, BIGBABBYGUCCI, Mathaius Yung, Blackmayo, Artie J, K. Forest, Maxx Owa, AAKHU, Zavage, Hrtbrkfever, AJay!, & Kayandre. All of the songs featured here are top tier but we wanted to highlight some stand artists as well as projects that are favorites of the team.


Mathaius Yung - Space Age Shit

One of our favorite artists right now, Mathaius Young, ended 2020 on a high note with the release of his project Angel Deep. Based out of Cleveland, Mathaius has been making music for the most of his life and it shows. Catching our eye at the beginning of 2019, we featured him on the platform and was already blown away by his discography at the time which included: ‘Take The Night Away’, ‘Take The Night Away 2’, ‘Burnin’ Castles (w/ Tre Capital)’, and ‘Boy Meet’s World’. A very solid artist as far as his discography, Mathaius Young is already a legend in the early stages of his career, and with the release of ‘Angel Deep’ Mathaius has further cemented his name as an artist that we have high hopes for in future. Featuring guest appearances from Michael Seven, Tre Capital, and WesWIll, Angel Deep is a must listen to, and if you want to learn more about Mathaius check out our latest interview with him which can be found here.

 

Eli Sostre - New Opps

Eli Sostre’s career has been nothing but phenomenal and for those that have been paying attention to him, you know that he is able to release great music on a consistent basis. Making his debut back in 2016 with the release of his project ‘Still Up All Night’, Eli came out the gate swinging. Still finding his unique sound, Eli Sostre has taken some the most prevalent sounds at the time and created a sound that is particular to him and even comes with the help of his go to producer, Soriano. From his 2016 release Eli Sostre has grown as an artist and has added great projects to his discography includingSleep Is For The Weak,Eros, and his latest project Emori’, all of which gets better and better. Eli Sostre stands out to us because not does he have his own sound, he has the ability to carry an entire project on his own with limited features, which is something that is not easy to find today in music.

 

Serena Isioma - Stop Calling The Police On Me

Serena Isioma has had the best 2020! From grabbing national attention with the release of her single Sensitiveas well as dropping her debut project The Leo Sun Sets. Serena may be in the early stages of her career but she is definitely a force to be reckoned with. ‘The Leo Sun Sets’ is a solid debut album with only features 7 songs, each song is packed with enough make you wanna listen over and over again. One of the first artists we interviewed in our early stages, we have watched Serena grow as an artist and it’s amazing to watch her achieve great heights and we know that she still has more to come.

 

Scotty Apex - Helpless

Another artist we featured, Scotty Apex, has been since releasing music since 2016 and with each new release he dead ass gets better and better. First coming up on our radar, we first interviewed the artist back in 2019 right before he released newest project at the time Lovesick 2’. Almost two years later and numerous singles, Scotty Apex followed up on the success of ‘Lovesick 2’ with his newest project Starlight, a project that raised the bar even higher for him and his music. Having guest appearances from Mathaius Young, Ejaaz, Michael Seven, and Maxx Owa, Scotty Apex is not going anywhere any time soon.

 

Maxx Owa - Day by Day

Last but not least, is rising artist Maxx Owa. New to our radar, Maxx is definitely someone that you should look for in upcoming rap. A discography that dates back to 2018, Maxx Owa may have a very limited amount of released music but the quality is always there. Having worked with one of our favorite artists and getting a personal referral from Kami Osha, we couldn’t help but to check him out and we’re more than blown away with him. He also just released his newest project Crescendo so be sure to check that out.

TOP 10: Foggieraw

Foggieraw, known formerly as Jayo, is an upcoming artist from Ghana, operating out of the DMV area, Washington D.C., specifically. Foggieraw has grown considerably since his start in 2013.

With the releases of his 2016 debut EP, The Foggie Pound, and his 2018 mixtape, Fogtavius Vandross, the DMV native has received nothing less than bolstering support and a committed fan base.

Below, we at Nefarious Supply have taken it upon ourselves to compile a Top 10 list of our favorite tracks by Foggieraw.

Take a look 😈

Moncler Bubble

“I had to buy me a Moncler Bubble
It's cold at the top, top, top, top”

Moncler Bubble is one of Foggieraw’s best tracks to date. From the seamless production to the artist’s ever-smooth lyrical ability, the track brings together all of the qualities that make Foggieraw the artist that he is.

The “clear mumble” we’ve come to love as listeners, the twists and turns his creative flows guide you through brings you to a effortlessly satisfying end, one that makes you savor the remainders of beat as it rides out into silence. Moncler Bubble is the polished and refined embodiment of Foggieraw’s sound, the biggest reason

Prolly

“She was like, "Foggieraw are you still poppin'?"

Look girl, I'm still poppin' of course”

Following the distilled sound and style portrayed in the track above, Prolly is an even more laidback track, boasting an anthemic chorus and Foggie’s braggadociousness all over a shiny, complimenting lo-fi beat.

Foggieraw is known for putting forward a confident and self-assured tone in the way he flows and it shows in all its glory on this track. Again, the instrumental and the artist synergize in a way that makes this chill track one of our favorites.

Look Like Porzingis

“Try n' get these hoes off me like Jerry Springer

If you wanna bring her then damn bring her”

Look Like Porzingis is a two-toned, feel-good track that portrays Foggieraw’s playfulness and comical versatility.

The whole track plays like a summer walk through something of a county fair, with a fast-paced, uptempo melody and bass-knocking beat underneath, Foggieraw delivers with bar after phlegmatic bar.

As the second half of the song comes in, the beat cuts for a guitar riff, and Foggie’s unedited vocals overtop, bringing the track to relaxing finish.

U Can’t Be My Baby

“You can't be my baby, this Billie Jean

You can't be my baby, this Billie Jean”

With a hilarious intro, taken straight out of a player interaction, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, U Can’t Be My Baby scores a spot on this list for retaining Foggie’s tried and true formula of calm and confident lyricism over an infectious, lo-fi beat.

The melody carries an airy flute solo, over top a high-hat driven, wavy beat progression. Foggieraw’s chorus is again extremely catchy and easy to remember, making the track all that more delightful, as well as the final moment of the track, a video and audio recording, empowered with beautiful untouched vocals.

U Can’t Be My Baby is a subtle addition to this list, but a strong one nonetheless.

30 and 10

“Triangle, square, combo for right trigger trigger

Diamonds come out the commode, that's how it go”

Frolicking over a bassless, peppy beat, Foggieraw brings ever-flowing bars throughout the entire two minutes and eighteen seconds that spans the track. Lacking any chorus, 30 and 10 thoroughly makes up for it with Foggie’s switching flows and a creative callbacks to various bible verses, Nas, and Eminem, putting this at a comfortable spot on our list.

30 and 10 strips itself of what would usually be essential to create a good song within this genre of music, and shows Foggieraw’s prowess at still producing a top-tier track, regardless.

She Said Ur Blessed

“Young, I'm not even dressing

Young, I'm not even flexing

Young, I had to stop stressing”

She Said Ur Blessed is something of Foggieraw’s victory lap. An uplifting and assertive track, Foggieraw thanks the lord yet again for putting him in the position where he is today, whilst also boasting of his effortless style and way of dressing, reassuring the girl that he hasn’t even tried yet.

This could also be seen as a double entendre for the rap game. His lyricism and flows are elegant and natural, landing with incredible ease showing those around him, it’s not hard at all for him to make a masterpiece.

Drake & Josh

“Gleam Gold in my teeth but I still gotta floss

Uh, drip

Step out the water like

Jesus It look like Voss, look”

Over top an eerie and calm beat sequence, Foggieraw delivers on Drake & Josh, a track with a hook, longer and even more versatile than the verses themselves. Drake & Josh brings plenty derivatives, such as Wendy Wu, Voss, Lebron James, Barry Barnes, and of course, the sitcom, Drake & Josh. The track boasts of God and the artist yet again, but brings a new way of hearing Foggie’s sound through the instrumental and the artist’s unique flow.

Harry Potter

“Expecto Patronum on foe nem Harry Potter

I don’t do no triple six but I still pop my collar”

Harry Potter is probably one of Foggieraw’s most cavalier tracks on his discography. Starting out the gate with his comparison to god when dressed to impress (a double bar for the bible verse where Jesus walked on water), followed by shouting out his lawyer, bragging that it’s an honor to be mentioned on a track of his, and shouting out Three Six Mafia, as well as Brad Pitt, Foggie wraps up this short two minute track in a nice, gasconaded bow.

Brad Pitt Freestyle

“I was going through a phase, I dyed my hair blonde like I'm Brad Pitt

I know this is a white tee, but I bought it at Saks Fifth (Bought it at Saks Fifth)”

Giving Harry Potter a run for it’s money, Brad Pitt Freestyle is equally just as confident and assured as the track above. However, this being just a freestyle, Foggie noticeably isn’t as purposefully lyrical as his other tracks.

He makes up for it with the smooth instrumental and his infectious flow. The second half of the song is a much more complicated beat progression, underneath a soulful vocal riff.

I Got The Kick

“I got the kick (ye)

I got the kick (ye)

I got the kick (ye)”

The last song on our list, I Got The Kick is almost as chill of a track as 30 and 10, with barely-there, endorsing beat, Foggie wraps his vocals around the instrumental, letting it guide him throughout the tranquil world the song paints a picture of.

As with Brad Pitt Freestyle and U Can’t Be My Baby, the song is split into two parts. One with the young Fogtavius Vandross, and the other with beautiful vocals serenading upbeat and hopeful production below. I Got The Kick easily lands a clean spot on our list.
