Bubbling Under: Hip Hop's Blue-Eyed Soul: Outasight /


Rapper Outasight was born to a music-loving mother and a guitar-playing father in Yonkers, NY. He started bubbling under after he was asked to open up for Ghostface Killah at the 2007 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. In September 2010, Outasight released his Employee of The Year EP to critical success. The EP’s combination of original rhymes and soulful melodies helped garner over 12,000 downloads and an impressive 130,000 MySpace page plays.
Now, if you’re in the northeast region of the U.S., you’re probably enjoying the splendid weather on this Saturday afternoon—that’s what’s up! In the meantime, show my man Outasight some love and blast him through your speakers one good time—you’re going to be impressed. I guarantee!

Finally, A D.C. Rapper Embodies Real Hip-Hop, Not Muddled Gibberish /


Since its beginning, Toast2that.COM has received countless press kits from aspiring rappers looking to get exposure. We consider them all-- however, rarely are we impressed. This morning I received an e-mail about a “bubbling under” artist hailing from Washington, D.C. I was so impressed by this kid that I immediately e-mailed his catalogue to my fellow editors. After 20 minutes of blasting rapper, Rahiem Supreme in my car, I began getting back to back e-mails—everyone wanted to know who Rahiem Supreme was and more importantly, where did he come from?



Supreme has solidified his presence in the D.C. rap game by, in many ways, mimicking the artistry of 90s hip-hop greats like Gangstarr, Mobb Deep, Nas … To say the least, his music is listenable—the type of hip-hop that you can play when you’re writing a paper or cleaning the house. But there is more to Supreme—lyrically, he’s not groundbreaking, but the way in which he delivers each bar can quite possibly raise the hair on the back of one’s neck. We’ve moved beyond the era of rappers “making love” to the bass line and into a period of mangled rhymes and heard-it-all-before punch lines. But every now and then, a rose sprouts from the concrete—a diamond is found hiding in the rough …



Wait, did this freestyle "pow-wow" just last for 8 minutes? How many amateurs can do that?
