  • London star Angel teams up with Davido and French Montana for ‘Blessings (Remix)’: Watch

    British singer-songwriter Angel has followed up his already successful single ‘Blessings’ with the remix, this time looping in artists Davido and French Montana for a multi-cultural guaranteed hit. This song is warm weather and party-ready, for sure. Davido kicks it off with his usual swag, giving the song the Naija swag that he adds so effortlessly. Angel follows, reminding us why we loved the original. French Montana finishes us off with his Bronx swag that always seems to flow effortlessly with Afrobeats/Reggae-style tracks.

    The women in the video are Black and beautiful, something that I’m sure was intentional, and greatly appreciated. We’re ready for the summer with this one!

  • Nashville rapper KING the MC steps out of the shadows and shines his light with ‘Napoleon Hill’: Listen

    Finding his lights, stepping outside of the shadows is Nashville, Tennessee based rapper KING the MC. In his latest visual for ‘Napoleon Hill’, the rapper shares his story of finding himself and falling into his purpose. He equips himself with many spiritual themes throughout the song and his message alludes to a realization and actualization of his calling. These realizations are attributed to Napoleon Hill, whose quotes are laced throughout the visual. Each scene shot was in a room that is a bit dark, which symbolically makes sense, as his lyrics shine light through that darkness. This is very important music, because his purpose is to enlighten and inspire, which is something that is needed at all times.

  • Made in quarantine: Spain-based producer Leomode shares ‘Prayer’, a devotion in song form

    Leomode released a banger today called ‘Prayer’. Taking this uncertain time to exercise his creativity, the producer found inspiration from deep within. As the weeks go by, it is becoming easier to inhale and exhale. Leomode’s track feels like its breathing as each piano riff occurs and each flashing bass thump happens. All of my fellow “beat heads” around the world will appreciate this one. Be on the lookout for more releases coming your way from the Barcelona-based Italian producer-pianist.

  • Lil Romo bares it all in emotional single ‘When I Was Down’: Watch

    Newcomer Lil Romo surprised me with his track ‘When I Was Down’. Having just been introduced to his music, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The opening piano melody that transitions into a fire trap beat brought me in immediately. Although the beat intensifies the track, it’s still gentle enough to align with the reflective message of the song. Lil Romo recounts his days struggling in the streets and striving for success. This type of song is pretty much a requirement for a rapper–a recollection of the journey–and this is one that is really, just beautiful. The video shows Lil Romo around and outside in the hood, and contrasted with the soft melody that backs the track gives the track so much depth and so much more meaning. An excellent effort from Lil Romo, who clearly has no intention of being ‘down’ again.
