Ruack Slater – “A Real Man” (feat. King Blackman)

“A Real Man” is an uplifting and positive anthem from Christian artists Ruack Slater and King Blackman. The duo are bringing a refreshing take on the genre that anchors on relatable topics with profound reflective lyrics that everyone can enjoy and learn from. The production has a solemn and comforting feel that blends with the artists’ thoughtful lyrics. The track explores modern-day masculinity through the perspective of faith and responsibility as opposed to amassing material wealth. The accompanying visual is a performance-based affair that is bolstered by an energetic display from both artists.

Mona Lissa Chanda – “Professional Victim”

“Professional Victim” by singer/songwriter Mona Lissa Chanda is a playful exploration of the concept of boundaries and self-preservation in relationships and the trauma that comes with dealing with a professional victim. The track has a retro soul vibe akin to Motown but with a modern twist with Mona Lissa Chanda delivering soul-stirring vocal performances with unapologetic and insightful lyrics to match.  The visual plays into the theme of the song and follows the singer giving her all to an underserving partner who only wants to suck all her energy for themselves.

“Professional Victim” is the lead single from her forthcoming first full-length album, Queen Of Games.

Young Eman – “My Yah”

Sheffield-born rapper/producer Young Eman unveils the visuals for his song “My Yah.” The track is an experimental tune that blends Grime, Drill and off-kilter sound designs that blend with the rapper’s energetic flow and bravado spirit. The visual style employs subtle motifs, dark lighting and performance shots of the rapper in his element. The single is from his forthcoming debut EP Steeze Kills.

Kingdom Kome – “Canto Al Immigrante” ft. Sunez Allah

Kingdom Komel links with rapper Sunez Allah for this insightful piece titled “Canto Al Immigrante.” The title means “‘song to the immigrant” in English and dives into the rapper’s roots as he talks bout his parent’s migration from Argentina after being victimized by an abusive military regime. The accompanying visual style is a blend of short performance clips, newsreels, documentaries and clips that tap into the theme of the track.

“Canto Al Immigrante” appears on the newly released collaborative LP, Arepa Y Manteca (available via all streaming platforms). Another video was recently released that combined two other tracks from the project “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon” (and was shot on location in Medellin).
