    Being co-signed by Cardi B is a dream come true to any fellow female rapper in this world. And that’s something that Kierra Luv has under her belt. Hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the young talent has announced the release of her forthcoming mixtape ‘Take It or Leave It’. Although the artist is known for her freestyles and covering top-charting originals, she knows how to make an album cut.

  • Hear highly-skilled Toronto artist Jazz Cartier’s new track ‘Itchin’ for a Lick’

    Two weeks, Jazz Cartier released a hot lyric video for ‘Itchin’ for a Lick’. Highly-skilled with his signature vocal cadence and a knack for making songs that make you dance, the Toronto-native rapper is one of the first international artists that I pitched and wrote about for MTV IGGY. I’ve had the chance to watch him blossom and grow into an artist with more than fifty-million streams on his work: Fleurever. I’m looking forward to what he’s been working on for the past year and a half. Listen/watch the visual now until there’s an official video for the track or a new release from his upcoming project.

  • Los Angeles-based band Follies & Vices share ‘Ground All Day’: Listen

    Los Angeles-based band, Follies & Vices, bring us a song about the party-life turning into an addiction. At times, we can lose ourselves in the “life” of wanting to party. The many stories of the addiction just beginning as fun, but then, turned into the everyday life of misery. The party stops, but the “life” continues. Listen to ‘Ground All Day’ for the band’s take on an all too common life of addiction.

  • Hear Roc Nation’s South London artist James Vickery sing the sultry ‘Turn Me On’ from his major debut

    Are you looking for something super smooth to hear this morning? If I were you, I’d give South London singer-songwriter James Vickery, the time of day. The single ‘Turn Me On’ is from his new EP called ‘Overture’. Being called “the new face of UK R&B” has to be a luxury in itself, but it is not a title that just anyone can bear. The proof is in the pudding with this Roc Nation signed artist. James Vickery is deaf in his left ear; credits his early therapy sessions for finding his voice.

    The singer told The FADER: Growing up in and out of hospital with a hearing impairment was extremely tough for me… If I hadn’t started going to speech therapy at a young age, I’m not sure I would have ever found my voice. The truth is I found out I could sing, almost accidentally – because of speech therapy, and never looked back since…”

    Listen to the very sexy new track below. It’s about being all over each other, in the heat of the moment.

  • Watch Tory Lanez’s new video for ‘W’

    Tory Lanez recently released the official video for ‘W’, a song in which he raps on more than his usual sing-along anthems or contributions. It isn’t a long song—more like a freestyle—but what’s the hurt in giving us something to watch during the COVID-19 lockdown? Watch the short clip below.

  • Spanish-speaking Canadian rapper Magic Seis shares new track ‘Samurai’: Listen

    Effortlessly bilingual rapper-songwriter Magic Seis’ ‘Samurai’ is as innovative as it is smooth. Alternating between Spanish and English over a dark, Gothic Trap beat makes this track unique and engaging. Seis’ rhyme scheme is nothing short of impressive as he finds his flow on this track. As the demand for bilingual rappers increases in the Hip-Hop world, we can be sure to expect much more from Magic Seis.

  • Premiere: Shamon Cassette and Japandrew drop joint project ‘WARDROBE’

    ‘WARDROBE’ is no doubt the kind of project we need in the midst of chaos. It’s chill, nostalgic, and high quality. Shamon Caseette and Japandrew’s collaboration is relevant and necessary for all true Hip-Hop lovers. As the tracks progressed, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Wu-Tang Clan, The Pharcyde, etc. The artist describes the project as ‘AN ANALOG AUDIO VISUAL SCI-FI ANTIDOTE..’–accurate. This project is artistically advanced; every beat, bar, and even down to your visual experience with album art being extremely intentional and cohesive. This is what you want to listen to if you miss that pure Hip-Hop feel.
