Now, Yeti puts his foot on the gas and prepares for the biggest moment of his career with the release of his heavy bass-driven new single, “Livin Life,” out now via Yeti Studios.

Produced by Yeti himself, the heart-pounding fast pace song details the rising star’s thoughts on newfound fame and all the things that come with it, like luxury items beyond our wildest dreams, influence, haters, pockets filled with money, and speedin’. “All the money in my pocket it don’t mean a thing,” Yeti raps on the chorus. “The hate is real/The love is fake/Least that’s the way it seems/Livin’ life, spinnin’ out and you can’t stop me/That’s how I’m feelin’ when I’m hopping in that Rarri.”

Master Yeti made his debut in 2019 with the foundational single, properly titled “On My Own.” Before music, Yeti accrued success creative designer and entrepreneur. While he began producing in 2017, Yeti’s musical knowledge span generations that include his father, an esteemed pianist, and uncle, an acclaimed left-handed bass player, who inspired and passed down lesson about music to him as a child.

Master Yeti has created an impressive catalog that includes 17 singles in 2021 and over 4M streams since his arrival in 2019. The versatile catalog displays a wide variety of sounds drizzled with larger-than-life lyrics and grandstanding appeal that today’s music lovers know and worship from their new artists. And with “Livin Life,” Yeti promises more new music on the way as he prepares for his forthcoming as-yet-untitled debut album, which was announced for early 2023 release.

A music video for “Livin Life” is currently in the works. Stay tuned with everything Master Yeti on social media.

Maine SFSG drops “Jet Lag” feat. Curren$y [Video]

Posted on by Erika Becker

Emerging rapper Maine SFSG is slowly building his stats and he follows up his previous release “FREE” with this superb collaboration “Jet Lag” which sees him teaming up with legendary rapper Curren$y. The record has a mellow and atmospheric vibe and soft drum grooves that blend with Maine’s laidback flow and nonchalant demeanour. Curren$y comes through on the last verse with his distinct herb-infused drawl and stylish flow to complete the track.

The visuals are quite interesting as we follow Maine across town in search of making the perfect video but as everything seems to go wrong, a silver lining from the cloud opens up and things turn out for the better at the end.

Teflon and DJ Premier expose the “Contraband”

Posted on by Erika Becker

Teflon of M.O.P.’s First Family and longtime collaborator DJ Premier team up for a brand-new banger, “Contraband,” taken from the emcee’s anticipated LP, Two Sides To Every Story, half of which is produced by the legendary producer, with the flip-side produced by talented beatmaker, Jazimoto. The track is built on a menacing string, heavy bass-laden drums, and classic vocal scratches by preem and exudes pure cinematic vibes that fit Teflon’s commanding vocals. Teflon is in his element as well as he details the dynamics of his life in his younger years while giving props to everyone on the proverbial grind. In the name spell, he throws a middle finger to the system hellbent on holding back the everyday man.

For hip-hop heads and longtime Tef fans alike, this is a welcome reunion as the duo’s alliance traces back to the early days of M.O.P., where Teflon appears on the group’s sophomore LP, Firing Squad. The Brooklyn spitter later appeared on “4 Alarm Blaze” alongside Jay-Z (First Family 4 Life, 1998), as well as the remix for “Ante Up” featuring Busta Rhymes and Remi Ma (Warriorz, 2000). Tef would later reconnect with Preem for a 12-inch single, “F.U.”/”Comin’ At Cha,” along with several unreleased gems from Tef’s shelved Def Jam debut.

“Contraband” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

SMOON Releases “1-800-LONER” From Her New Album ‘Bad Friends’

Posted on by Erika Becker

SMOON shares the first single off her new full-length album titled ‘Bad Friends.’ The record “1-800-LONER” emanates a blend of west coast and old-school vibes.

The soulful mix of melodies looped with invigorating textures amplifies SMOON’s uncanny lyrical deliverance. Her rhymes reflect inner thoughts on life and have a certain relativity to them. She mentions life’s lessons and turning negativity into positivity, although easier said than done.

The world is seen differently when you lose touch. Stream the single and connect with SMOON @realsmoon on Instagram.

Autocorrect deliver thought provoking bars in “Leased”

Posted on by Erika Becker

Columba, SC, USA based alternative pop/hiphop group who goes by the moniker of Autocorrect caught our ears with their new single titled “Leased”. The track has a blend of lush, dreamy synths, warm pads, and sparsely arranged drums that are underpinned by a somewhat monotone flow ripe with reflective and insightful songwriting. The song dives into the concept of ownership in this thing called life where everything is leased, even the mind. The song is quite thought-provoking and gives listeners something to ponder as we traverse through this never-ending cycle of life.
