October Monthly Mix

With a love for video production and art Marques Mosley is a cinematographer turned musician under the pseudonym KEESE. Heavy lyrics over churning hip-hop beats give KEESE a distinctly underground and gritty feel. KEESE began rapping while attending the University of Colorado and now spends his time fostering artist communities in Denver and LA.

“I’m all about range. My music doesn’t stay in one lane—it shifts from R&B vibes to hard-hitting rap and everything in between. It’s all hip-hop, but every track has its own flavor. That mix is what makes my sound distinctly KEESE. And the playlists I’m sharing give you a peek into what inspires all those different moods.” -KEESE

Check out this curated mix to learn who inspires KEESE and explore the world of modern hip-hop.

Turn Up

“Artists like John Mackk, Shordie Shordie and BigXthaPlug are the soundtrack to my morning runs, long drives, and meditation sessions. That last part was a joke. Foreal though, I will never grow out of my love for hard hitting rap music.”

Slow Shit

“Blxst is one of my favorite artists our right now. Artists like him, Ryan Trey, Jazmine Sullivan, and Rexx Life Raj are the vibe for my chill nights, those reflective moments, background music for while I work. It’s smooth but real, more soulful sounds.”

Big Chillin

“This playlist is more flexible, it’s a soundtrack for whatever. You can’t go wrong with the classics like Nipsey and Dom. Them, mixed with some of my personal favorites like WESTSIDE BOOGIE and JID create a sound that’s balanced and adaptable. This is my everyday go-to sound.”
