Shaheed & DJ Supreme – ‘Appreciate Life’

August 13, 2020

Shaheed and DJ Supreme make music that’s as kinetic and intoxicating as anybody’s, and they always bring the verses, quite rightfully taking their place among the legends. On their new single, ‘Appreciate Life’, they’re joined by another legend, Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli founding member Chali 2na, whose relaxed baritone is the perfect counterpoint to the frenetic delivery of Shaheed and DJ Supreme.

Brandon Phillips and The Condition – ‘Sunrise’  

August 13, 2020

Right from the start, ‘Sunrise’ is a banger. It starts out at a frenetic pace, and keeps it up right through to the end. It’s rock and roll in the truest sense of the word, soul and swing and Brandon Phillips and The Condition do their thing. All that could make it better is the movie-like music video to accompany the track.

Arsonal Da Rebel – ‘Product Of My Environment’  

August 13, 2020

Newark New Jersey is a cultural hub for the battle rap scene, and Arsonal Da Rebel knows that scene well, and is regarded by many as one of the genre’s most highly-ranked, with 67 battles to his name, and more than 87 million views. He’s made appearances on top shows such as Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, and is a testament to how much success is made up of hard work, natural skill, and a philosophy that’s grounded in DIY. He’s the perfect example of a self-made rapper, with his large fan base supporting him and showing that having the goods is what gets you to the top.

Proper Einstein – ‘Like This’

August 13, 2020

Proper Einstein, from Swainsboro, Georgia, has learned from the greats, taking his musical inspiration from the sound of the past 40 years or so of popular music. The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, director, and actor embraces it all as he glides effortlessly between hip-hop, country, and every place in between. Four albums, a quiver of singles, some heavy radio rotation, and some incredible collaborations with the underground’s greatest, his latest creation, the single, ‘Like This’, is a truly fine piece of work.

Kase 1hunnid ft. Snoop Dogg and YD – ‘I Luv My Dawgs’ 

August 13, 2020

Miami’s Kase 1hunnid isn’t one of those rappers who likes to talk about things they’ve not done, or focus on violence and all the associated violence that goes with it. Kase instead chose with his tracks to fill the world with positivity and brotherhood.

David Drake – ‘Touch the Burning Sky’

August 13, 2020

He approaches his songs as if they were paintings, with poetic imagery and lyrics taking the listener on a journey that transcends sound. ‘Touch The Burning Sky’, his latest single, paints a picture of wonder, amazement, and awe about the natural world, and with his words and music Drake commands as much soul and spirit as any colours committed to canvas.

Niramsin – ‘How You Like’

July 30, 2020

The music video for Niramsin’s latest single, ‘How You Like’, featuring Dell-P, is a gorgeous feast of the beauty of Australia, both natural and manmade. As he sings, “Meet me where the sea meets the sky”, we see a dancer moving from a lighthouse, to the shore, with each move carefully on the beat, perfectly matched to Niramsin’s voice. As he sings, “it into deeper water”, the next dancer does exactly that, moving underwater fully dressed.

daFinchi – ‘The Burbs’

July 30, 2020

daFinchi draws his name from the Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, and calls himself The Renaissance Rapper. It’s not just a play on words, even though it’s some mighty fine alliteration; but it also draws attention to the dry, dark sense of humour da Vinci had – taking his art and inventions seriously – but himself…not so much. daFinchi, from Bridgeport, Connecticut, shares that easy wit and tongue-in-cheek self-deprecation in his debut single, ‘The Burbs’.

Paul Helou & Friends – ‘There Are Heroes (Stay Put Blues)’ 

July 23, 2020

One thing for sure that’s resulted from the global pandemic of COVID-19, is that we are all in the same boat of having to stay put in the same place, and no matter how big or how small our home is, it’s bound to make us all go a little stir crazy and lose focus on what’s most important.

Chanique Rogers – ‘I Can’

July 23, 2020

Chanique is not your average triple threat. She’s got singing and songwriting under her belt, as well as stage acting. But she’s also a professional model, and a more than competent chef. Basically, Chanique can put her hand to anything and come up a winner, but it’s been from her very earliest days, growing up on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and The Grenadines, that she’s known she was meant to make her name in the world of music, and her latest single, ‘I Can’, is possibly the perfect example, a Chanique primer if you will, of what she can do.
