Listen: Top three rap songs from Denver artists this week

The Denver hip-hop scene is always on the move. At any given time anyone can have their eardrums inundated with the hottest beats or their visuals stimulated by intriguing videos. MC’s in the Mile High City are continuing to find the most innovative ways to convey their creative expression.

In the instance of this piece, here are the top three videos that have crossed my desk this week for your enjoyment.

Kid Vegas is a character in the scene we can always count on for new music.  This track “Lost Your Mind,” is from his latest mixtape release Addicted to the Life.

Illiam Elton, a newcomer to the rap scene here in Denver has the most distinctive voice out of the bunch. This track “Be Myself,” is heavy on the boom bap sound and thorough rhymes.
