  • London rapper Souls shares strong message about ‘Loyalty’ in latest video: Watch

    London’s Souls latest single ‘Loyalty’ is a simple message about something that we pretty much all desire. The rapper says ‘I don’t really need much in this life, I just need some loyalty’ and we all felt that. He gets this message across with a catchy hook and slick beat. The video is simple, not too flashy; just some shots of Souls dancing with his mans to the beat, and a shot of him in bed with a gorgeous girl he pledges his loyalty to. This is a solid release from a solid UK artist with crossover appeal.

  • Berlin-based duo Juno Francis drops psychedelic track ‘Queen’s Anthem’

    Accurately described by the artists as “Disco infused retro synth-pop with a touch of nordic melancholy”, Berlin’s Juno Francis drops their latest trippy single ‘Queen’s Anthem’. This track is true to their style–a hypnotic groove with powerful yet graceful synths and keys. The vocalist’s voice melodically and gently rides the beat and takes you on a journey through space and time. This song is transformative and leaves you feeling good, which is what we all need from music right about now. Heard clearly is the influences of the past, which are tastefully weaved into the fabric of this track. You hear some 60s, 70s, and 80s in the vocals and production. Juno Francis will continue to be our connection to both the past and present.

  • Griselda Records first lady Keisha Plum shares gutter ass ‘Lipstick On Blunts’: Listen

    In her classic poetic style, Griselda Records’ Keisha Plum keeps it gutter on the Cas1-produced ‘Lipgloss On Blunts’ by expressing boss overtones like being as dope as Smoke DZA mixed with RZA, only wants you on the weekend like SZA, and is as fresh as Raekwon in Diodora. Often wanting to know what the women around powerful men are thinking, the illustrative one-minute plus performance offers a peek into a mysterious lifestyle. You’ve heard rappers get descriptive of the exterior and interior of their prized possessions. However, you haven’t heard anything like this. You don’t know anyone who refers to their navy blue jeep with “cherry guts” interior as Buffalo Jill, nor can you relate unless you are a woman who smokes weed, dates gangsters, confident, and is protected by the silent assassins of the streets.

    Sex aside, the Buffalo artist also assures you that she will lyrically run circles around any man who thinks he can compete. Listen to the song. It is a perky ode to Hip-Hop and everything it represents, then and now.

    If you want to hear more raw deliveries from Keisha Plum, start by listening Westside Gunn’s new masterpiece ‘Pray for Paris’. Plum is on ‘Party wit Pop Smoke’.

  • Scotland-native artist Euan Allison reveals his experience with love and loss through latest single ‘November’: Listen

    Born and raised in the landscapes of Orkney Scotland, Euan Allison lets fans into his love life or the loss of it rather. On his track ‘November’, he documents a past relationship blossoming in the Summer and withering away in November. Poetically, he describes their early passion, and how that passion dwindled down, to two people who can’t seem to hold on to love for one another. With a strong vocal performance and beautifully-constructed lyrics, he is able to create a scene of a blissful romance that has gone sour. The song is simple, wonderful and soothing for those who can identify, which might be most of us.
