Krujay & Eazy The Block Captain Release New Single “Me Again”

Posted on by Erika Becker

Battle-tested and ready to go to war.

Fast-rising new artist Krujay is getting ready to battle hip-hop and for his new single, “Me Again,” he calls up an esteem battle rapper in Eazy The Block Captain to help elevate his star power. Stream it here via Duly Noted Entertainment.

On “Me Again,” Krujay delivers a refreshing traditional lyricism filled with metaphoric punchlines, edgy lines, and catchy hook. He reminds fans that he’s flow is not a fluke and will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming months, which he backs up the energy with a lethal new alliance in Eazy.

Eazy The Block Captain is best known for his rap battle with Murda Mook at Drake’s highly-publicized SMACK/URLTV event, which was presented on the superstar’s platform, Caffeine. In 2022, Eazy released his latest project in the 11-song album, Himothy Chapter1 Audiobook, which dropped last April on Gutta City Entertainment. Over the summer, Eazy shared his new single “I.D.W.I.W.”.

For Krujay, “Me Again” is another addition to a long build up to the release of his forthcoming album, currently untitled, which is coming soon. The new single marks his fourth release of 2022 with the addition of previously released tracks “You+Me,” “Recipe” and “Friday Night”. The upcoming project will be a debut. Krujay keeps fans up-to-date on the process and new music daily via social media.

Listen to Princis’s new single “Vida världen”

Posted on by Erika Becker

Swedish singer/songwriter Princis shares the single “Vida världen” taken from his new project Hemma. The singer pulled no stops as he teams up with an ensemble of talented musicians such as Grammy-nominated jazz drummer Sebastian Brydniak, Drum tech Simon Östergren, bassist Erik Johansson, keyboard player Rune Gardell and others such as Henrik Thomsson, Mikael Strömkvist, Gabriella Gardell, Fanny Princis, Mikayla and Ewelina Westin.  Since his debut single “Life (Just Not Dying)” and debut album Jag Duger, the singer has been consistent with his art and was selected twice for P4 Nästa and eventually he got signed to Gothenburg-based Rexius Records in 2021.

“Vida världen” which means worldwide in English showcases Princis’s layered musical style that takes elements from pop, folk, R&B and soul with his own modern twist. The bright textures, smooth grooves and textures serve as the perfect backdrop for his sultry and somewhat mellow vocal tone that sounds as natural as they come. His choice to write and sing in his native language really adds to the authenticity and allows Princis to fully project himself into his work.

“Hemma”, translated as “Home” in English, portrays the artist’s intention with this work, as he describes it, “to feel as if I can truly relax and just be. The songs have emerged from this place of safeness and truth”. The album was recorded in the artist’s own studio and the New Ground Studios in Visby.

Posted on by Erika Becker

Northside Naarm / Melbourne emcee Matthew Craig makes his entry on our site with the visuals for his new single “Let It Burn” from his forthcoming debut project. The recording artist of mixed Sri Lankan / Italian heritage has recruited his regular collaborators producer JUJO and vocalist Jeremy Bennett for the heartfelt and reflective single. Matthew gets into introspective bag and delivers a characteristic performance riddled with insightful and revealing lyrics.

The powerful music video shot and directed by 76m Films (Jordan Dennis, Dallas Woods) centres on the story of a young teenage boy in the care of Craig and his entourage, faced with a need for guidance and education while surrounded by circumstances that are not of his own choosing. Blending engaging motifs with cinematic themes, the moving visual will surely please fans of mob cinema including Goodfellas and The Sopranos.  

“Let It Burn” is taken from the forthcoming debut project Pass The Lighter Vol.1

Kyle Quentin & The Kyles is a musical project and brainchild of former DJ and designer from Switzerland who was also one half of the locally semi-famous electronic DJ duo “The Bukkake Boys Gang” in the 2010s. His latest effort “Crab Key Island” is as relaxing as the ocean waves splashing against the shoreline. Over smooth drum grooves, warm jazz textures and nostalgia-inducing strings, he delivers that classic good old mellow music that listeners can rock with.
