This week, the LTD Magazine team brings you it’s inaugural music post dedicated to artists who are either not signed or might not be on your musical radar yet. We have an amalgamation of musicians that happened to all be from Florida, the state with the most concealed weapons permits, a.k.a. the Gunshine state. Mazel tov!

Willie Evans Jr. was dubbed as one of the next 50 important Hip-Hop artists by being picked for the “Rawkus 50″ in 2007 and, as of recent, now in the company of Homeboy Sandman & DJ Spinna at High Water Music. His first single is entitled “Communication” and features The Perceptionists’ Mr. Lif. This track draws you in immediately with that sweet soul sample juxtaposed with Will’s monotone flow that’s remniscient of Guru & DOOM. A few seconds into his first verse, Willie Evans Jr. makes sure to remind everyone that he has bars:

“Play me in the summer, drumming beats, bumming five decibels/I’m definite, with a skeptic I get eclectic/find a minute to mutter on front stoops, stupid all over the world/music is the universe, i’m trying to loop it.”

Check the track out for yourself:

Here’s a dope video of Willie & Paten Locke performing “Stay Classy”. Peep the visual steelo:

Moving on down to Miami-Dade County, we have the Free Love collective.

First up: Albert Vargas. He’s a singer/songwriter with an acoustic based sound that any City & Colour fan will appreciate. Here are the visuals for the lead single from his debut EP “Love, Love, Love”:

Next we have Steven A. Clark, not to be confused with the sportscaster Stephen A. Smith, who is another singer/songwriter with more of a rhythm & blues feel to the music. His single, entitled “Super Hero”, in which he attempts to dispel the belief in external super heroes who save you from your woes. In essence, Steven is telling you to stop the pity party and help yourself, that we can all be super heroes for our damn selves. Not your typical R&B song topic, right? Album is set to be released on February 16th.

Lastly, there’s Mr. Familiar, a collective of producers who have done work with Solange Knowles, Jim Jonsin, Rico Love, Timbaland, and more. They produced both the Albert Vargas and Steven A. Clark tracks posted directly above. Here’s a sample of their work with the newest member of Shady Records, Yelawolf:
