NYC hardcore trio Show Me The Body recently released visuals to their track "Trash". The track was previewed late last year and comes off their upcoming mixtape 'Corpus 1'. The mixtape is being released on March 24th and features artists such as Cities Aviv, Dreamcrusher, Princess Nokia, Denzel Curry, and more. Some say they draw elements of Death Grips, while others claim they're the new and improved Rage Against The Machine. Either way we can't complain, as they continue to push the boundaries of the hardcore genre. The trio hits the road on April 6th, kicking off their 18 date tour in NYC to celebrate the release of their upcoming mixtape. Check out the new visuals to "Trash" below and find all of the dates of their upcoming tour here.
Council World
As the sun set Friday night, people from Brooklyn and other parts of the city headed to Williamsburg's Baby's All Right for a unique and unforgettable performance. It had just been nearly 70 degrees the previous day, but by nightfall it was drastically colder. That, however, didn't stop people from filling the Williamsburg bar and venue and before the show even began, it was sold out. Divine Council was headlining the bill, a small rap group based in Richmond, Virginia. For those who don't know, the group consists of Lord Linco, Cyrax!, ICYTWAT, and $ilkmoney. They have received a ton of praise over recent years and are making massive waves in the industry. Last December they released a remix to their track "Decemba" featuring Outkasts very own, André 3000. Earlier in the year they performed at the 2016 SXSW and later got signed to Epic Records.
People waited patiently for the group to take the stage. The Council was being supported by Westside Parlé and Texas based artist, Milo Velour. The crowd was packed shoulder to shoulder and it wasn't long before Milo jumped into the crowd and a mosh pit broke out. Milo went on to perform his track "taxin", which features fellow rap artist Smokepurpp, and the crowd showed no remorse. The night was still young and the energy was rampant.
As time went on, the floor filled up and the bars became packed. Backstage the Council patiently waited for their time to go on. Sitting quietly, the Council prepared for their headlining set and finally the door to the stage cracked and"PS42WW$" began to play. They gathered themselves and were immediately greeted by chants and a crowd ready to turn the venue upside down. It seemed all of the crowd knew the words to every song. The crowd, acted as one, with people pressed to each wall and tightly against the stage, not one person could stand still if they had tried.. The Council went on to perform tracks such as "Can't Afford Me" and "Decemba". The crowds energy was incestant, and it only grew when Cyrax! stage dived into the crowd. When the evening came to an end they thanked Brookyln and humbly walked off stage.
Divine Council is a group of talented artists who are definitely ones to watch. Last year they were named to Rolling Stones "10 New Artists You Need to Know". Be on the lookout for new releases and definitely catch them next time they're in your area.
Stay tuned for more events on the way from I'm Really There and Move Forward Music.

Roses and Matches
Thursday night people gathered to watch Rozes perform at The Foundry. The intimate Philadelphia venue was filled with people to witness her hometown performance. Her family members were also present, including her grandmother who sat front and center, bearing a massive smile and a rose headband. As people danced the night away the Philadelphia artist performed songs such as her major hit "Roses", and her brand new single "Matches". Eventually the night came to an end. Being her first all ages show she was greeted by some young fans, all wearing roses they presented her with a handmade sign which she placed atop her merch table. Definitely keep an eye out for more massive releases as she's definitely not slowing down. Check out some photos and a video recap of the night below. She also has a few upcoming tour dates which can be viewed here.
