PLAYLISTS: New Iowa Music on YouTube 2

Well, it was moving day for me yesterday, and unpacking day today. So even though I had this playlist ready early in the week, it's only coming out now!

We have one of new Iowa music playlist once again. This week, the new stuff up on YouTube!

If you're an Iowa artist or band, and have a YouTube channel, send me a link at iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com!

We start off with an acoustic cover, then a string quartet cover, followed by some hip hop, piano boogie-woogie, Americana, and blues!

IOWA MUSIC SHOWCASE PODCAST - Episode 51: Iowa Hip-Hop and Rap 2 (and 3 episodes of the Iowa Block Radio rap podcast)



once again look at the hip-hop and rap music in Iowa.

There are other genres I haven't even covered yet, but the submissions are piling up, so here we are!


And if you want to hear more Iowa hip-hop and rap, don't forget about the podcast, Iowa Block Radio, that deals exclusively with hip-hop and rap from our fair state! You can find them at https://www.spreaker.com/user/iowa_block_radio.

They don't seem as active as they once were, but they got 105 episodes running from 1 to 3 hours, so there's plenty there to keep you busy. In fact, I'll embed the last three episodes on the bottom.


And just a gentle reminder that all of these were submissions, and you can send me your submissions at iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com.

He has collaborated with Chicago native artists such as Novatore, Baer Coon The Ewokk, Säge,The 64th Wonder, and local hardcore band Drowning. Straight from the southside of Chicago, Moecyrus has developed various styles of word play, constant homonyms, and bold statements to back his name.

Moecyrus continues to promote a positive mind frame while connecting with his fans through shared experiences in depression, anxiety, drugs, and relationships."

IMSC Ep 51 - Song 6: "OMG" by Angle



"Angle is an emcee/rapper who has 15 years experience writing, recording and performing. While the Des Moines area has been his home on and off most his life, Angle has traveled the country perfecting his craft. His impressive discography includes 9 self releases. Despite a distinguished resume', he is often left in the outer rim of Des Moines music circles. However, this is not bothersome or unfamiliar to the veteran rapper, who for most of his career has been proving himself lyrically on records and stages for almost two decades with no signs of slowing down."
- from Brian Campos on the Pants Off Podcast SoundCloud page

"It is gratifying to follow the music of someone like Angle over a long period. This writer has known him for 15 years and lost count of the albums and EPs of his that have been reviewed in Little Village. Angle (aka Jarid Catrenich) has always had a distinctive flow and powerful voice, but his writing has gotten deeper over the years.
- from a review by Kent Williams on the Little Village website

"I have a vision for every project I do and I follow it through to the very end. I've been rapping since I was in the 6th grade, before social norms and stereotypes had a chance to latch on. I've been recording and doing shows since 1998, when I was at the University of Iowa. I've released 3 solo albums, a group effort, and been featured on numerous other projects (check discography). Real life has dealt blow after blow after sucker punch to my creative endeavors as an emcee trying to get my truth out to as many folks I can. I'm not a starving artist because I belive in self presrvation, but I'm still very hungry. Throughout my treks I've had the laziest street team ever, but still love you people. Before I legally murder my stage name, I have much work to do. If you want to know anything else, just ask me. whoaYEAH!"

IMSC Ep 51 - Song 7: "East Side" (clean) by King Meech




"King Meech is an upcoming artist in the Midwest region. This artist has attained over 350,000 views via YouTube and 1,000,000 spins via SoundCloud!!! Enjoy"
- from his Facebook page

Ep 51 - Song 8 : "sippin" by Phantom Flex



"Coming out of central Iowa, PHANTOM FLEX is a force to be reckoned with. Mixing the styles of southern rap beats and heavy dubstep he is sure to turn the party up! He started djing in early 2013 after many years of playing in bands and experimenting in computer programs like fruity loops and acid pro studios. part time music maker, full time weed smoker."
- from his Facebook page

"My name is Adam Ellis also known as Phantom Flex. I was born and raised outside of Ames, IA in a terrible run down trailer park that was filled with junkies, people you generally don’t want your kids around. My grandparents took me in when I was a baby because my parents were unable to take care of multiple children. Being raised by my grandparents, while seeing my brother with my actual parents, made me feel isolated. It made me want to strive harder for what I wanted to achieve the goals I have set forth. My grandparents were very supportive growing up, which allowed me to get involved with art and music. They showed me how to love unconditionally without question. They taught me to accept people of all race, creed, color, sexual orientation, etc etc and treat them as my own brother or sister...

"(What what moitivates me to follow and pursue my passion is) the desire to share my creations. The satisfaction it gives me when I know something That I have put my heart and soul into can touch a person's emotion and make them move, dance, and feel a certain way.

'Music also brings people together in a place of no judgement. I like being the maestro and soundtrack to people's lives, making a difference for them even if they do not realize it."

OTHER SOURCES: An Iowa Noise Music Compilation

Although it doesn't have a big following, the noise music scene here is still strong. What the scene lacks in numbers, it makes up in dedication.

One of these days, I plan on doing a podcast episode on Iowa's more experimental music, including noise. But for now, I can give you this compilation put together by The Centipede Farm, an Iowa record label that has supported the noise scene for many years.

But in the meantime, here's a compilation put out by Centipede Farmer, who is well known to the noise and metal music scenes.
