Trap Rock Radio:

This track is too Dope! NYC hip-hop artist “AWKWORD” drops “Rainy Daze” featuring Main Flow, Mojo (of Dujeous), and Baltimore’s Own “Rickie Jacobs”. The word was passed that this song will be featured on Awkword’s project called ‘World View’. And guess what, Every last bit of the proceeds will go to charity. Now how trill is that? This is the first I’ve heard of someone doing so. Big Shout out to Rickie Jacobs for being apart of this historic masterpiece.

rock the dub:

This is the latest single from AWKWORD’s World View project, and it features the Bmore boy Rickie Jacobs (who also sorted out that Charlie Brown-tinged artwork) and others. BuckMarleyXXX got the world premiere on this, and I’m just hoping I avoid the rain. Or snow. I think it’s going to snow. This might actually be something dope to watch snow fall to. Fly shit.

Kevin Nottingham:

Another banger from AWKWORD! This time he enlists the help of Main Flow (of Mood), Rickie Jacobs, Mojo (Dujeous frontman) and the production of The Aqua League for the single “Rainy Daze.” You will be able to find the single on the upcoming DJBooth.net sponsored, 100% for-charity global Hip-Hop project from AWKWORD entitled World View.

DJ Booth:

Fresh off earning reader plaudits for Radio 2.0, the third release off his DJBooth-sponsored, 100%-for-charity mixtape, AWKWORD returns to our pages with leak number four off the highly-anticipated project. On Rainy Daze, The Aqua League serve up a cinematic, string/piano instrumental as the Big Apple underground spitter trades lyrically on-point bars with Main Flow (of Mood), Rickie Jacobs and Mojo the Cinematic (frontman of Booth-approved crew Dujeous). World View has yet to receive a drop date, but those who like what they’re hearing can keep it locked for more fresh tunes off the project.

AWKWORD’s “Doctor Doctor” is a DJBooth.net Breaking Feature [Review + Stream + Download]

The East Coast newcomer calls up his licensed medical professional on the Refin8edHype-premiered current single off his forthcoming LP.

Super mega shoutout to DJ Z and team over at DJBooth.net for making this heartfelt single a Breaking Feature — and for writing such a great review!

DJBooth.net:

Don’t let the stage name fool you—when it comes to rocking the mic, Booth newcomer AWKWORD is anything but. As proof, I present the NYC repper’s current single, Doctor Doctor; premiered over on RefinedHype, this record finds Malaysian beatsmith MajoR R.E. cooking up a funky, sampled beat to back AWK and guest emcee GuessWho as they demonstrate just how ill (both literally and figuratively) they are. Digging it? Keep it locked for all the latest tunes leading up to the arrival of World View in 2012.
