Common Thieves return with a brand-new track titled “Hush” The song has a heavy and hard-hitting impact immediately and keeps the heavy paired with melody throughout the rest. When we spoke to the group about the track here’s what they had to say about the song. “We wrote Hush about observing the world from the perspective of an isolated person who is dwelling in the fear of the future as he is becoming more disconnected because of the isolation. Something we wanted to tackle was the year 2020 because we had to see how it affected all of our friends and their families. Hush focuses more on the aspect of how our technology has consumed so much of our lives and even gives us the opportunity to live that lie in a lot of ways. And sometimes the social acceptance of oneself can override or cause someone to overlook things in real life that may matter more. Instrumentally we wanted the song to sound very cold in nature mixed with more ‘techy’ sound effects so we kind of have a balance of this cold heavy sounding song with more modern elements on top of the production.” You can stream the […]

USA rapper ‘Troy’ drops his latest single “All We Got is This ft. Mick Jenkins”
Making noise out of Richmond, VA, USA rapper Troy (formerly known as JrdaRappr) drops his latest single All We Got is This featuring Chicago’s own Mick Jenkins and produced by Mos Poetick and Namebrand. The theme of All We Got is This articulates how black America is forced to cope with their oppression with minimal and further crippling resources. As Mick Jenkins emotionlessly states on the hook, “All we got is weed (little bit of weed) / Something on the drink / Can’t afford a shrink…” An additional theme weaved throughout All We Got is This is the lack of relatability, understanding and concern America has for the oppression and violence black Americans endures. Accordingly, Troy embodies this message in the lyric “Ain’t no houses getting built on top of affordable apartments/ Ain’t nobody shoot your partner/ Nigga you don’t feel this.” Online links – https://linktr.ee/AllWeGotisThis IG @iamtroyjones YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeyVpCizJWiIt1ttW-_YYmQ/featured

Interview: Zpextre
Zpextre, Can you tell us about your latest single, Save it for the Kids? As a child, I was able to dream and imagine my future. Innocence allowed me to wander through the development of my mind to be who I am today. I wrote Save It For the Kids on March 15th 2020 as Trump continued to sell out the country for his political and financial gain. I wanted to scream out to the world Save It For The Kids! Save their innocence. Save the environment. Save this Democracy. Save this trust that we have in humanity! It takes a lifetime to build a home, but a single day to tear it down! More criminal than all the countless institutions that he destroyed, is his blatant disregard for the social contracts that we have inplace. In this case, the innocence of children is something that we all subconsciously agree upon. That is, until Trump. Is there a story behind the single? The imagery of the song is reminiscent of a time I brought my 6 year old niece to a protest in San Francisco. On our way there, the bus door opens and so do the things in […]

KAMALZI RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO OF TIME FROM ALBUM GRIND SEASON
It is often said that some of the best, most groundbreaking music comes about as a result of fusion. Taking two unique concepts and blending them to make something new is exciting and allows the music to forge new paths. From the jazz-funk era of the seventies to the pop-rock genre that has emerged more recently, fusion has always been something that, while hard to pull off effectively, offers music that is fresh and enticing. With his new single, “Time”, Kamalzi — a Christian Hip-Hop artist from Kansas City, Missouri — does this perfectly. The song intertwines the likes of both contemporary Christian and gospel music with the upbeat tempos and rhythms of Hip-Hop. This is most easily seen when listening to the beat of the song. It opens with a mellow guitar riff that carries the listener’s ear throughout the entirety of the song. “Time” really begins to pick up speed, however, once the beat drops, the elements of Rap and Hip-Hop truly become evident. Anyone who listens to the song will instantly be able to feel the energy infused into this song. It is positive and in a lot of ways makes you feel inspired. One […]
Priming his fans for his first major summer release, Jah Single unleashes ‘In My Element’
It is evident in his musical assertions that the artist known as Jah Single followed in his father’s footsteps, but in his own stride, and to a different tune. Born Evroy Lawes on the island of Jamaica, he was raised in the cool hills of rural Manchester, where his natural evolution into music was catalysed by a father whose passion helped influence the likes of Winston McaNuff and Eek-a-Mouse, now legends of music in their own right. But it was his gift of a guitar to his son that would help catalyse the passion of a youth who would become the penultimate standard-bearer of his fathers name, Jah Single. 10 years later, he would migrate to Miami, Florida, where the cornucopia of musical influences would help expand his rhythmic soundscape, and over the next few years, he would take the time to carve a sound, outside of his homegrown comfort zone. The afro inspired “Nollywood Queen” would be his debut release, giving him a taste of what to expect in the music industry, but it would be the Hip-hop tinged single “Mow Down” that would put him on the regional music map. Now priming his fans for his first major […]
New single ‘No Pressure’ drops from 20 year old Boise Idaho rapper ‘J $teeze’
Boise Idaho based 20 year old artist ‘J $teeze’ has been rapping since he was 11-12, but has been recording for 3-4 years. His new single is entitled ‘No Pressure’. He says “I’m just now starting to enjoy the music I put out more than I use to. I recorded this joint in a empty room in my apartment and it took probably 30 min to put this song out. I’ve always had a soft spot for music, I can’t go a single day without listening to music or doing something related to music. The song “No Pressure” is almost self explanatory by the title but when you hear me rap I’m not talking about being pressured into Anything, the flow just came out so naturally and I was not pressured at all into making a song that I liked, and I’m usually pressured to one-up everything I do. Hopefully it’ll inspire other young artists into doing whatever they love” ONLINE: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/PQ96y9mwMhnQ6t466 https://instagram.com/steeze_08/ https://facebook.com/TheRookie08 https://music.apple.com/us/artist/j-%24teeze/1576027014
Continuing on in the footsteps of past hip hop greats such as Ms. Lauryn Hill and 2pac, LaToya Jane’s addictive new single “Empty” is out now
Continuing on in the footsteps of past hip hop greats such as Ms. Lauryn Hill and 2pac, LaToya Jane’s addictive new single “Empty” tells a story of growth and persistence. A little bit of background knowledge is needed to clearly understand how masterfully Jane has been able to convey these themes in her song. Jane grew up in a tough neighborhood in the Toronto area — an environment that made it easy to slip into trouble and enter a cycle of hardship. She unfortunately fell into a bad situation, leading her to spend 18 months in a women’s incarceration center. However, this was just the spark that she needed to bounce back and finally pursue her true passion: music. Although it isn’t stated outright, this story of her past and how far she has come since then is evident all throughout her new song. She makes a powerful connection with the listener that draws them into her life and shows the pain that can come along with a journey such as hers. Even though “Empty” is specific to her own experience, it is genuine and truthful in a way that allows pretty much anyone to connect with it. After […]

Highly anticipated by fans across the Eastern Caribbean community, and US east coast cities, ‘Arkesh’ delivers ‘fete’
With outside now a reality for Summer 2021, the entertainment scene around the world is getting back the colour in its cheeks, and for musical creatives, the new normality created by COVID -19 has presented a unique set of challenges. For many emerging and indie artist the digital space has become the new centrifuge of the music industry, and the opportunities presented in the new paradigm has made the game more palatable for fusion artists such as Arkesh, the Caribbean bred, Miami native, whose tasty blend of electronic, Dancehall driven soca is creating a real organic buzz in the digital underground. The Jamaican born, Bronx raised songwriter, got his first taste in the mainstream in his early teens as one part of the Miami based duo 1-50-1, which led to a short flirtation with Warner music and later Red Vinyl Records. Military service, however, presented a better option than a bad record deal for Ryon Rakeish Royes, who served honourably before making a notable foray into the East Coast tech scene. But always an artist at heart, Royes kept writing and used the hiatus to build a new musical soundscape that critics in the Caribbean urban underground have been calling […]
