Daidough – @iamdaidough

Daidough is the red-hot New Jersey artist paving the way for the (you heard it here first) “Jersey drill” sound. You may also know him as GMGB Daidough, this exciting young independent rapper is making waves in the garden state. On every track, Daidough hits listeners with a ferocious flow with more words-per-minute than most rappers’ entire project. His latest release, “Turn It Up a Notch” is no different. Packed with hard-hitting, nonstop bars, and jaw-dropping punchlines over a challenging beat that would shred a lesser artist. You can get more of this infectious, machine-gun style flow on other fan-favorite tracks like “A Hood Near You” and “Deadass.” 

Daidough is no one-trick-pony though. On the aptly titled “Ghetto Melodies,” he perfectly showcases his ability to “do both” by switching to a more melodic flow. In March, he got a chance to show off his acting skills with a cameo in Jadakiss featuring Pusha-T’s, “Huntin Season.” Ever since making waves back in 2018 with his first-day-out track “Wop 4 Wop,” Daidough has been an artist-to-watch. Now, in 2020, we are seeing a fully focused Daidough on a mission. No doubt big things are on the way for this exciting independent artist out of Jersey. If “Jersey drill” is going to be a thing, you can be sure Daidough will be at the front of the pack.

With his latest single “Trust Issues” surpassing 1M Spotify streams in just a few months. His other standout track, “Up Now” follows closely behind as an upbeat inspirational anthem, perfect for a walk-out song or workout-playlist. Tajh’s unique style, rising star, and big-fish-in-small-pond backstory definitely make him an artist to watch in 2020. An excellent time for a sing-rapper like him, Tahj Virgil is working to keep putting out projects and elevating throughout 2020. Stay tuned!

PostRain The Legend – @postrainthelegend

PostRain The Legend is a rising artist and underground heavyweight straight out of the Boston Secor Projects in the BX.

He uses “Wanna Go” to reflect on his journey, and the friends who weren’t able to make it with him.
