JorGMuziK – Give It To Me.

JorGMuzik delivers some sultry RnB vibes on his latest single titled ‘Give It To Me”. The song is the perfect blend of smooth rhymes over a nostalgic 1990’s ‘feel good’ beat, produced by Dizzy Beats. The hook features Sha Baby which gives the track an instant soulful mellow vibe.

 The video, filmed in the iconic Hialeah Executive Motel, has JorGMuziK spitting game to his lady friend, played by Instagram model @honduranshawty, who keeps him in the friend zone even though he’s “trying to score deep up in the end zone”.

The Blancos & Joyner Lucas – “We’re Tired”.

Buzzing Brooklyn/South Florida duo THE BLANCOS drop their new single “We’re Tired” [feat. Joyner Lucas]. The anthemic song is a poignant outlook on the state of the world today. The track also features  Joyner Lucas who provides an insightful verse that hits the mark.

About the track, The Blancos said: “‘We’re Tired’ is a song that spotlights how unjust our world is. It’s about a world where, somehow, it also feels like the people have no power to fix it. It’s like living in a nightmare. Those thoughts and feelings are part truth and part illusion. Either way, so many are worn down and feeling hopeless. We’re trying to speak to that inner, subconscious voice that’s fighting to get out and say we’re tired of it all!”

Serious Klein – Should’ve Known

Germany-based, Ghanian rapper releases “Should’ve Known”, the fourth offering from his upcoming debut album. The track has a more summery bounce vibe and showcases the rapper’s gripping flows and vivid lyrics.

“I had this idea of making a song called “Should’ve Known”. I always work like that, I chose titles before I actually make a song, so I was walking around for weeks with that title in my mind. We needed a song that summarizes the whole storyline of the tape. I was in the process of creating the album and I felt like it was that particular song that was missing.

Kayo Genesis – Distance.

Kayo Genesis seeks some much-needed space on his new song/video titled “Distance”. “Distance” comes just in time for summer’s peak season, also known as a breakup season, and narrates the need for space in a relationship. A jack of all trades, Kayo Genesis once again self-directed the uniquely creative visuals for the track (produced by Tairiq and Garfield).

Kayo is gearing up to drop a new EP which is expected to be released in the second half of 2018.

(TEEKS, Ladi6, Mara TK, Jonathan Crayford, Esther Stephens, Julien Dyne, & many more!)

The new single “Years Gone By” is a blend of improvisational live instrumentation and poignant lyrics

Some words from Tom on the new album ~
“This record is about…growing up. I think. It’s about dealing with your own stuff for once. Accepting responsibility, maybe. It’s a self-help book addressed to myself. And just like every other piece of art ever made in the history of the hominid, I was going through some shit when I was making it. I’d just left home and everyone I knew, looking to chase a dream. It was an awkward phase, like stage two puberty. I was learning how to be grown. Humility had my pride in a headlock. I was the old man at the art exhibition, the young boy at the art gallery. Everyone was in a K-hole, I was at K-Mart.”
