Southside Hoodlum is back with the third installment of his “real” series, officially dropping at the beginning of August and continuing the momentum he’s been building throughout the year

With her cadence and unapologetic attitude, Tay Money makes it clear that not everybody deserves a spot in her lineup. “Strike 1” plays like a warning shot; one wrong move and you’re already headed back to the dugout.

“Poison” is a hypnotic bop centered around the intensity of love, specifically the kind of love that becomes so powerful and consuming that it feels almost toxic. Rae captures that feeling through lyrics and melodies that give the song an intoxicating quality, almost as if the emotion itself is coursing through your veins.

That contrast is what gives “Smooth Talker” its appeal. Meztli creates a character who is charismatic enough to draw you in while leaving you questioning whether you should actually trust them. It’s a familiar personality, but the song gives it a pop-driven edge that makes the concept feel fresh and entertaining.

From the jump, the visualizer pulled me in with its eccentric, sensual energy. There was something undeniably seductive about the way Hunter carried herself, and before long, I found myself diving deeper into the album.

Between the menacing production, slick lyricism, infectious flow, and a visual that refuses to play it safe, 1035alyssa proves she can command both the vocals and looks with ease.

From beginning to end, this EP feels wrapped in gold. There’s something incredibly delicate about the production, while the vocals float effortlessly through each track, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate, dreamy, and almost angelic.

Her sultry vocals glide over the laid-back production, creating an intoxicating vibe that feels like she’s center stage in the middle of a club or a late-night drive through the city. The chemistry between her vocal delivery and the instrumental gives the record a hypnotic feel, allowing listeners to get lost in the moment.

Receiving the visual treatment for his second single of the year, “Whatchu Mean,” Big Texas continues to prove why he’s one of the most electrifying performers in the underground scene today.

Jo Bianca possesses the rare combination of commanding delivery and magnetic presence. She’s both pretty and lethal; a balance that perfectly defines her artistic style. Every verse carries conviction while her confidence shines through without ever feeling forced.

RLPson returns this year with his latest track “You,” which released mid March this past month on Thursday, March 14th. I had the pleasure of meeting Ronnie in collaboration, where the first impression of his versatility and quality of music was undeniably great.

Under Issac Ray, he focuses on playing his acoustic guitar and delivers a more personal, intimate vocal and writing performance. Although SUNGATEPARK has now disbanded this year, Issac Ray persists with displaying his artistry as a solo project.

Shadoh didn’t hold anything back on this EP; she gave every bit of her heart to make it a special release. We admire her more as an artist and warrior; she’s a soulful person and someone to recognize as a blessing to the music community.

Her second single, “Reckless,” is out now, but we actually had the pleasure of previewing it a week before the initial release date and decided to break down the release in a way we know how.

We wanted to give you all a deeper look into the video drop, so we spoke with Mèlat below to see how this release came along and some interesting facts about her as well.

On “BANC” however, we get him at his most vulnerable but it’s still packaged in that easy listening fashion that is his trademark sound. So shall we journey into his self reflection with him, I think we better.
