Everything You Need To Know About Loudmouf
Loudmouf is an artist born and raised in Chicago, IL.His upbringing and surroundings were filled with struggle, drugs, gangs, daily shootings etc… Which is why music was his vehicle of choice to getting out of that environment.He is the child of the foster system since his biological parents had their own demons to fight and couldn’t provide the life a newborn deserved.
Loudmouf didn’t get to meet his biological sisters until the age of 7 years old. He bounced from home to home by himself for quite some time. He then landed in the house that he would soon leave, being 1 of 12 crazy children that lived under the same roof not even including his foster parents.
They were all significantly different and had their own separate demons to battle, their own fights, their own dreams. Which wasn’t the best environment to prosper in this world.He doesn’t remember ever having his own bed for the majority of his upbringing. There were so many people coming and going from his home of 14 that it was difficult to even get a minute of alone time.
At times, Loudmouf felt like his older brother Big Ro, was the only person to raise and care for him up until he left for college. One by one Loudmouf’s siblings left him alone in that house to fend for himself against a foster father who battled substance abuse.
Music took him away from the daily trials and tribulation with taking multiple buses just to get an to and from school to get a proper education.
Once he turned 16, he made the brave decision to leave the terrible place he called home, behind for good.
Loudmouf decided to join the Marine Corps, it was his way of leaving with a guarantee of belonging to something bigger than himself, a true brotherhood.
There was nothing left for him in the city of Chicago and he knew that for a long time before acting on his instincts.
The military took him around the world to places such as California, Florida, North Carolina and then overseas to Japan.
While in Japan, he created “Freestyle Fridays” as an outlet for all upcoming artists to collaborate and get their music heard.
DJing stateside and overseas definitely shot him further into music, from spinning old school hits inside of the nightclubs to new upcoming artists that no one had ever heard of.
Music always tells a story and Loudmouf has always had the gift of listening to what the artist has to say and what they are trying to get the listener to envision.
Once he returned stateside to California, he began to work with “Unkle Bump” for a short period of time, but that opened his eyes to what he was truly meant to do his whole life.
It was time to let his very own voice be heard, tell his story to the world, and let the listeners get the full scoop into his life journey.
He’s not just a rapper, He’s a prolific storyteller and everything he makes has a story and an even deeper meaning behind it.
Loudmouf’s entire life was filled with people who wanted to be inside of the music industry, He remembers listening to Mano and Rosco Dash every morning.
Music has always been an outlet for him because his childhood reality was hard and consisted of an environment filled with drugs, and crime, all around the city of Chicago.
Once he wrote his first song, it all began to make sense, everything had finally come full circle for Loudmouf.

Album Review
Mt. Kili Mt. Kili delivers quiet power and honest reflection on “The Noticer” (album)
Mt. Kili’s latest album, “The Noticer,” is a warm, contemplative acoustic folk album that finds beauty in the minutiae of life itself, as calm and bare as anyone would call it. Songwriter Rick Sichta of Asheville leads the project with delicate instrumentation and outspoken lyrics, bringing forth an experience that can be both personal and universal.
Recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, the music is refined and mastered by Grammy Award-winning Julian Dreyer and David Glasser. The current lineup still embodies this vision, with Matt Shepard holding down a heavy rhythmic backbone and Laney Barnett’s violin and vocals rounding out the sound, creating emotion.
There is a story and emotion hidden within each track. The EP opens with “Don’t Start a War,” which opens contemplatively, begging for peace rather than war. The title track, “The Noticer,” exudes a sense of awareness and the beauty of watching life unfold. “The Rain Song” features a soothing, near-meditative vibe.
With a hopeful reflection, “The Road Isn’t as Long as It Seems” is about perspective and perseverance. “Her Song” is pretty much a musical love letter, and “Kyle” is defined by its character-driven narrative. With “The Weather Report,” the change of feeling is reflected, while “Scars “ and “Strawberry Fields” hint at memories and softening imagery. “All in Good Time” concludes the record patiently, a soothing sigh of comfort. “The Noticer” is a reflective album with a soft reminder that sometimes the smallest moments mean the most.

dredge reflects on emotions and unfiltered truth in “doomed from the start” (EP)
“doomed from the start,” the debut EP of dredge is a burst of underground noise, rough around the edges, an ambitious debut that embraces chaos in its own deeply personal way. The EP is raw, recorded in a garage somewhere between Birmingham and Worcestershire, with a cinematic feel that mirrors its emotive honesty.
It begins with “captain oblivious” and portrays the uncertainty and restlessness of a track after meeting someone unaware of the most fundamental part of themselves. “drink beer, hail satan“ takes the mood down a notch, with a bit of black humor about aging and death, presented in an oddly humorous way, but more plainly. The balance of energy and reflection presented on the track makes it one of the most memorable tracks on the project.
“temptress“ is like an idea of running into the wrong people & getting caught up in that familiar feeling of being drawn to harrowing situations. An exploration of the darker, cheeky end, then to round up the EP with “goblins.” The track is dynamic, and it complements the project nicely. “doomed from the start” is concise, coming in at just over 15 minutes, and it’s a crashing, truthful, and unvarnished introduction to dredge’s world.
