Forever HYpe is Taking “The Long Way Home” (Single)

Posted on by Irfan Akhtar

West-Philly artist Forever HYpe returns with new heat featuring Paris Marie. “The Long Way Home” comes after a year of losing family and friends to the Covid Pandemic…

The blend of classic Hip Hop and R&B cadences accentuates HYpe’s blatantly honest wordplay. He shares how one’s heart can turn cold while giving into depressive thoughts. Knowing the difference between love and envy will he rise above to find peace? Will he surface above the world’s harsh truths to construct his own legacy? Taking “the long way home” seems to provide those answers.  Paris Marie offers soulful melodies allowing listeners to capture HYpe’s raw emotion throughout the song.

“The Long Way Home” is off Forever HYpe’s 3 pack lead ‘The Lonely Hour’

Bluestaeb, Mick Jenkins and Aréna are “MOVIN´” [video]

Posted on by Clodagh Leon

Producer Bluestaeb teams up with Mick Jenkins and Aréna for this heartwarming and soulful cut titled “MOVIN´.” The song is a mellow soulful track ripe with warm keys, pulsating basslines, and soft r&b styled drum grooves that blend perfectly with Jenkins melodic flow and insightful lyrics.

“MOVIN´” is the producer’s fourth single as he prepares to release his album GISEKE. which is set to drop on the 23rd of July via Jakarta records.

 

 

Bluestaeb is one of the key figures of a new generation of up-and-coming Hip-Hop beatmakers, who have emancipated from genre thinking and instead merge old school aesthetics with a new school attitude and organic instrumentation.

In 2015, his critically acclaimed sophomore album “Rodalquilar” (via Jakarta Records), set a blueprint for this approach by combining warm samples, futuristic synth melodies and tight drum programming. The album is dedicated to the Andalusian town of the same name, a mythic place in the south of Spain, where Bluestaeb spent much of his childhood and where still continues to gather inspiration from.

Influenced by Madlib’s “Shades Of Blue” and trained in African drum techniques (Djembé and Daruka), Bluestaeb has been crafting beats since his teenage years and gradually found his sound identity through experimenting with HipHop and Jazz – first to be heard by a broader music community in 2013, when he released his debut album “1991 Extraterrestrial” (Radio Juicy). Since then the prolific young artist has released numerous solo and collaboration projects (“B.L.U.E. Friday” in 2015 and “Sidekicks” with S. Fidelity in 2016). In 2016, he produced collaborative album “LIT – Lost In Translation“ with rapper JuJu Rogers, a keen manifesto against racism, xenophobia and the rise of anti-heroes such as Donald Trump.

Mr.Peabody and Twinsight link up for ‘Little Black Book’

Posted on by Irfan Akhtar

FL-based rapper Mr. Peabody is as prolific as ever as he drops the 28 track collaborative effort titled  Little Black Book with Twinsight. The project is heavy with insightful and deep topics ranging from loss, love, personal struggles, and more.

From the jump, listeners know that he is not here to play as he opens up with the somber track “R.I.P” where he reflects on the death of a loved one. He delivers a pained performance ripe with evocative lyrics over a moody backdrop. On “Demons” the duo team up with Notsam and b who all deliver vivid and intense performances over the melancholic backdrop. The dark cinematic textures of “Wartime” come into play with intensity as the rappers come through with rousing vocal performances as they battle the demons plaguing their brains. The duo reflects on their childhood on “Butterfly Effect,” a heartfelt track ripe with moody keys, lush guitar riffs, and fiery lyrics that detail all the things they had to face to become better individuals. Vocalist Kate Clark adds her melodic touch to the somber track “Soul Shoes” which dwells on a harrowing tale of loyalty, love between kinfolks. On “The Spirit” the mood changes a bit with a positive message of hope, other tracks include the moody “How We Get Down” and the closer “Swag.” The latter has a rock and edgy feel with its rousing drum breaks and layered off-kilter backdrop. The rappers raise the ante with a more energetic performance but the dark lyrics are still pronounced.

Overall, Little Black Book is heavy and dense from start to finish with unfiltered lyrics, off-kilter performances, and dark soundscapes.
