Full disclosure: It’s Mad Squablz (’nuff said, but hit the jump for more if you want). I was ready to cop as soon as Don hit my inbox with the link! #TeamBackPack go-to for the lyrical flame AND that FIRE! Dropping freestyles and vids all over the Interwebs like you-WILL-know-me! Yup. I’ve had him on the radar for a good while now. Philly-bred emcee and you know how Philly reps off top (Meek Mill, Beanie Sigel, The Fresh Prince, Eve, Black Thought, Kurupt… you get it).

And now he has an album out (“Lamps”). Do yourself a favor and go stream it for FREE (below). Then, if you feel moved and are a true head, do Hip-Hop a solid and support.

MAD SQUABLZ – LAMPS (ALBUM)

– @ojones1

BIO: Mad Squablz was born in December of 1996 in Philadelphia, Pa. A very humble young artist when it comes to his talents. Mad Squablz preferred to play the background – never wanting to draw attention to himself. No one knew he had such a gift except him. It wasn’t until his Grandfather passed away from Cancer that Mad Squablz decided to let his parents know of this talent. After hearing him sing at the age of 9 the floodgates were opened. His love for singing birthed his passion for music production which eventually birthed his life’s passion for Hip-Hop.

The 2016 Philly Hip-Hop Lyricist of the Year Mad Squablz is in position to move mountains in 2017 as the new young fresh face of vintage Hip-Hop. The 20-year-old West Chester University student has been called, “a young lyrical genius” a “Hip-Hop Savior” and “the kid who will make Hip Hop the genre of choice again.”

By the end of 2016, Squablz had viral videos on the internet exceeding 1 million views, he was one of TeamBackPack’s 2016 Mission Underground favorites and even tipped the scales with his EP “Art of BoomBap – Generation Next” coming in at TeamBackPack’s #7 Album of the Year. The miraculous thing about being #7, the Album was released on 12/20/16 – meaning it beat out thousands of other albums for the spot with only being released for 10 days. Squablz relationship with TeamBackPack catapulted last year when he entered their contest to find three 2016 Mission Underground Champions (a global Hip-Hop show-of-talents that screened well over 6000+ Hip-Hop contest entries from all over the world). By the end of the auditions, Squablz alongside two other underground artists beat out their competition and received the very prestigious 2016 underground award. Additionally, this experience included numerous invites to YouTube Space to record collaborative music videos projects.
