The soundtrack to Summer 2025 is brought to you by the DMV. Moving parallel with the return of legendary Virginia rap duo Clipse, DMV rappers and (another set of) brothers JOMEGA dropped a new track that could have made an appearance on Hell Hath No Fury. Their new single “WANTED MORE” features pounding keys heavily influenced by the Neptunes production style on early Clipse work. Kris and Keagoe are right at home on this beat, attesting to their grind with a snarl that would make Pusha T proud. Nod along with this one on Spotify and check out JOMEGA while you’re there. You can press play from our Underground and Emerging Hip Hop Playlist, curated with new songs every week.

DMV duo JOMEGA honor their blog rap forefathers on their latest track “I DON’T RELAX.” Channeling the timeless sounds featured on tastemaker pages like 2DopeBoyz, NARIGHT, and DJBooth.Net, the twin brothers drop bars on this track that would have lit up a comment section in 2010. Some people say this was the best era in hip hop history – those people might be writing this blog. JOMEGA’s mellow flows and bars give nods to the likes of mixtape-era Wale, Sir Michael Rocks, and Joey Bada$$ (who is even explicitly referenced in a “Christ Conscious” line). The brothers seamlessly play off of each other, taking turns carving up an understated, headbobbing boom bap-inspired beat. It’s a fresh take on nostalgic sounds and references, and JOMEGA do the era more than justice. Discover more sounds from the brothers on their Spotify page and check out “I DON’T RELAX” here:
