Faith Walker heart-warming new RnB EP “Head In the Clouds” with Interview
25 SeptemberUSA Blog Network
Embarking on this album destines you for an cottony, R&B joyride. Not only does Faith prove magical with her singing; but her command of the early-2000 aesthetic of R&B is equally top notch. She glides soulfully, wafting through production that forwards heavy-hitting drums, and guitar-tinged, chord-waving instrumentation. These elements give “Head In The Clouds” a musical purity and authenticity that is impossible to ignore. Soar into songs such as the title track, as well as “Love By Now”, “Catch My Heart” (feat. Orion Tukal), and “Enough Of Your Love” and the beauty of this album will illuminate; deeming Faith Walker a beacon for the indie R&B circuit. For, if one thing can be concluded from listening to “Head In The Clouds”, it is that this amorous woman is destined for astronomical stardom.

The Bronx native of Dominican descent brings us this EP after releasing a number of singles and videos in 2018 which established him as a promising artist. With a witty and snappy style Emil takes listeners on a journey that on the surface details a love story between two people but, underneath finding underlying themes of self-doubt, rejection, success, spirituality, and more.
Doing a great job of using this EP to connect with a core audience and giving them insight into the man and artist, Emil showcases this hype and smooth style heard on past songs like "Angels" and "Blacksheep" with ‘Perfect Timing’ highlighting his progression with the new sounds and motifs he's exploring.
Emil was inspired to put together this EP after seeing how much the creative process in music and following a dream resembles a love affair. At times throughout the album, you can’t help but wonder if he is referencing his love for another person or for his craft.
Emil looks to take his career to the next level while elevating his skill set in all aspects with his brand new project ‘Perfect Timing’, set to release September 20th.
Emil: “Perfect Timing is a collection of songs that brings you on a journey. You'll laugh, dance, and catch yourself deep in thought at times. The album flows from fun upbeat with songs like "Important" and "Get a Grip" to more melancholic and introspective towards the end with "Awake" and "Effort".”

Like his namesake, Innanet James, the 22-year-old Silver Spring, Md. native, has been in tune with what is happening online ever since he was a kid discovering artists like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, 50 Cent and Lil Wayne, the latter whom he credits as the reason he started rapping. "I wouldn’t be rapping if it weren’t for Da Drought 3," James explains.
Even though music was in his blood — his father was a musician and played Congo drums for a few GoGo bands — becoming a rapper was never a goal. However, that changed in December 2015 when a friend paid for James’ first studio sessions. One of the tracks recorded was "Summer," a song that would change his life and land him rave reviews on Pigeon & Planes, Pitchfork, and XXL. By the time his debut 10-song EP, Quebec Place, was released in August 2016, eight months after he began taking rap seriously, he went from an unknown community college student to one of DMV's brightest stars. He performed at Bonnaroo 2017 and signed a label deal with HighRes Global/Rostrum Records in 2018.
Following the success of 2018's Keep It Clean (hit songs “Better Without You” and “Bag” have over 5MM and 1.5MM streams across all DSPs respectively), Innanet James picks up right where he left off in 2019 with the single "Hunnids," a silky, keyboard-driven ode to the good life.

RA Light drops enlightening new hip-hop album “Round 2”
18 SeptemberUSA Blog Network
RA Light started his recent project, “Round 2”, off with a poignant, acapella tribute to the late, great Nipsey Hussle. Duly, that intro sets the stage for the EP— foreshadowing an opus that will impact lyrically as hard as it does sonically. Upon listening to this alternative, New York City album, this prophecy quickly actualizes; and before you know it, you are flying through a brisk rollercoaster of RA Light’s ingenious mind.
“Round 2” is undeniably brief, yet nevertheless, it packs a jaw-rocking punch. After the intro, “New Wave”, the Bronx rapper bolts us into a romantic, dancehall-inspired banger titled “Nina”, featuring Makinout. This record gives “Round 2” a substantial, radio-ready smash. One whose rhythm and groove can in-arguably crack into the mainstream. Following that, is the strongly Hip-Hop influenced “Grind”; whose blitz of bars and trap-heavy production give the album an anthem any rap-loving crowd can get behind. “Za Jester” is the most individualistic cut on “Round 2”— bolstering idiosyncratic melodies and flows over an abyssmal, piano-driven beat. The lyrical approach of RA Light on this track solidifies his standing as a unique force in underground Hip-Hop. A statement that is nicely ended with the outro-instrumental, “Space Switch Tease”. Verily with this release, RA Light will amass a great deal of hype for himself. He already has us anticipating another full-length, with which we can crown him a rising prince.

Ace Burns releases motivational workout anthem "Bossfit" with Exclusive Interview
18 SeptemberUSA Blog Network
Yes, essentially, “Boss Fit” is a gym smash; dedicated particularly to health/fitness and physical achievement. It sports a spirited, almost electronic melody that is boomed by 808s and trap percussions. Ace Burns blends seamlessly into this See See Beats-produced world of sounds with an even greater blitz of power; delivering a torrent of well-timed, motivating rhymes. Perhaps the biggest gym anthem since Kanye West’s “Workout Plan”, “Boss Fit” is a titanic tribute to female trainers and trainees worldwide. Likewise, it is another push for Ace Burns, and his Koinda imprint, towards spreading inspiration, with zero hesitation, across the globe.

“The Double Crown logo of two crowns, represents the emergence of two
singular identities, forming, coming together as one. The first crown is of the
Pschent, a double crown representing both Upper and Lower Egypt worn after the
uniting of the two regions in Ancient Egypt. The second crown is the traditional
solid gold crown typically seen in European rule. The concept of the double
crowns symbolically represents the merging body with the mind. When both the
physical and the metaphysical has aligned itself with one, then we are able to
transcend into something way beyond the measures for which the mind can
imagine."

On October 12th 2018, Khaleel released his debut self-produced album Original.
The album is an intricate combination of genres such as Hip Hop, R&B, Pop,
Reggae, Funk, Indie Rock & Avant Garde. Thereʼs versatility from the hard-hitting
rap centered title track, to the orchestral ballad containing Harpsichord, Acoustic
Guitar & Strings, ʼSnow On a Mondayʼ. The album is definitely as Khaleel puts it “a
whirlwind of my thoughts for two years”.

September 2016, around a month after Khaleelʼs debut mixtape Dead Weight
released was when he started working on Original. Work on the new album took
place in Connecticut, Massachusetts & Barbados. The albumʼs sole feature is
Khaleelʼs cousin and fellow member of the DoubleCrown roster Keion Jevon.
Khaleel states “I knew exactly how I wanted the album to sound, the chronological
order of each track and a few other key components for over a year. The
rollercoaster challenge was executing the vision to a tee. Me being the only
producer on the album made it simpler to work through a ‘no room for errorʼ kind
of ethic.”

J Dillaʼs Donuts, the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, Q-Tip, Stephen
Sondheim, Talking Heads & EWF were among some predecessors Khaleel listened
to during Originalʼs creative process. “The biggest goal for this LP was to make
something that hasnʼt been made yet. A reason behind the title ‘Originalʼ is it
being one of its own body of work made by one person. Which I hope people will
recognize at their own pace.”

Are we living a dream or reality? The latest effort by LIV3 FR33, a Los Angeles brand spearheaded by producer-artist, NIU Kno, blurs that line with excellence. For “Life, Is But A Dream”, a compilation album outfitted with nine, lucid tracks, the artist(s) gives the themes of sleep, dreaming, and afterlife, sonic prevalence. Its features lunge from Fatlip, 777Kamikaze and Kay Franklin to Mary Dee, Korryn Gaines and NIU Kno himself, with each one of these artists delivering an idiosyncratic twist to the overall concept of the project. Samples are lush and plentiful; drums frolic in the fields of both trap and boom-bap; and the bars on “Life...” are beyond bewildering. Spin joints such as “Sleepwalking”, “Sunshine”, “Virtual Insanity”, or even the penultimate record “Walk Str8”, and the reverie of life will equivalently reveal itself to you. For “Life, Is But A Dream” is an unavoidable epiphany that LIV3 FR33 flawlessly inspires.
