It's been a few days since I've done a list, but I'm back and this time I'm covering my 5 favorite DFW rap collectives. First off know and understand the difference between a collective and a group kind of like The Pyrex Pirates. Or a Label of sorts like IRAS. Collectives have displays as groups but also focus on their own individual works as well. Lets get right into this, and I hope you guys enjoy. Let me know if I was right or was i stupid wrong in the comments.

$ix Co

Six Co has been making big moves as of recently, and I think a lot of people are starting to notice their hardwork. These guys have been on damn near every rap show this summer, and right njow I'd say they're currently on a hotstreak with their last few singles like "OMW" and "Fukk Shit" The jump and mosh rap collective probably has a few more memebers than I realize, but the ones that are standing out to me are Gee, Bubba T, and Savage. If they keep up they great work Six Co could have 2016 in the bag.

Crit Life

Now there's been a lot of debate and controversy over this collective right here. A lot of turmoil, Beef, or whatever you'd like to call it. But regardless of anything I've heard Crit Life deserves credit when it's fucking due. They undoubtedly have one of the biggest cult followings in the Dallas Fort Worth area, and I think that's undeniable. They throw some of the livest events too. Although the Crit Life train is growing I'm only waiting on one thing. A damn project. I've been waiting so long for Crit World Order or Crit America that I forgot I was even waiting. 

HY-Lyfe Society

Hy-Lyfe Society might just be the most talented and diverse collective on this list. With members like Ea$e, K.Vation, Brandon Paul and Aaron Tarrant. Yeah they have a star studded roster. Some of the most talented youth within the city and the southern region as a whole. I think Hy-Lyfe released a project last year, but it didn't make waves like it was supposed to. It was unorganized quite frankly. I think all the collective needs right now  is to realign and refocus. Because guys like Ea$e and K.Vation are killing soundwaves single handedly; Imagine what they could accomplish all together.

Elevaeted

A collective that kind of came out of the wood works, well at least in my opinion Elevaeted is one of the only collectives that seems to have firm grasp on that classic hip-hop sound, and know that i think about it that's something that Dallas really needs right now. I first heard about these guys literally a few months ago from Say Cheese. They dropped what i think is their debut project at least as a collective. It's nice, but I think the next one will be next level. Today also showed me that they've got a pretty nice following. They've got something brewing in Dallas. Pay attention.

Buddha Stoops

Now this song is the definition of rage. Go head and look that up in your handy Merriam-Webster and you'll see "SIX CO" In big ass bold letters. This song is loud, and crazy. I think they used the distortion in the track to their advantage. I think the Six Co collective really has a lot of potential in this specific genre. Don't sleep on this track.. Well I mean you can't lol.
