CHICAGO, USAY'all shoot to kill, but you can't kill joy, and that's on Ramaj Eroc and his rawly real track Why Lie? Each verse has a shine to it despite the dim, problematic scenario Ramaj expresses; he effortlessly creates resonance and delivers a solution in the form of clearing out fakeness with a simple poof. We've got another work of audible art on this one. He's creatively experimenting with a rollercoaster of tones, ad libs, and an animated delivery that adds to the visual and sonical storytelling; it's what makes Ramaj stand out—his ability to do everything in a ray of colourful sound is far from monotonous. Why Lie? comes to terms with reality—the one where you realize not everyone moves like you, and some get a kick out of spreading false narratives. Connections crumble and people fade away, and it's all while God works in mysterious ways. Ramaj Eroc sets the record straight, and God clears the path of any hate, obstacles, road blocks, and one-way streets—it's all being removed as Ramaj speaks. "What I noticed in this life is that no matter where you go, there's going to be people who'll make up things about you for absolutely no reason. They'll lie and paint a picture of you to others for their own selfish reasons. People will even lie to others about being your friend or close to you. I was thinking about this question: Who loves you more? Someone who lies to you or someone who tells you the truth? The title and meaning of this song can go many ways." - Ramaj Eroc The rhythmic, upbeat production immediately sets the tone against the vocally aggressive backdrop. Produced by Ramaj, the beat has a nonchalant vibe towards the content of the song, essentially enhancing its impact. "I got a royalty-free sample loop and went to work on FL Studio. I just wanted to make something extremely smooth. I've always been a fan of extremely jazzy songs, and this loop absolutely fits what I was looking for." - Ramaj Eroc Ramaj Eroc has recently released his first acoustic song and has more singles and visuals on the way. Stay tuned for his back-to-back drops, and keep Why Lie? in your rotation.

Melbourne, AustraliaMaking a clean comeback with this dark, trap-soul R&B track, Amāre emerges from his hiatus with a lustfully hypnotic frequency titled RIGHT NOW. Releasing his desires over the Jeremih x Stwo-influenced throwback track “Neither Do I”, RIGHT NOW is a seductive statement that’ll have Amāre’s vocals undressing you in an instant. The shadowy soundscape has an enticing effect on the ears; it immediately draws in listeners with haunting authenticity that gradually builds in intensity and bass. Amāre’s soft vocals are layered with vulnerability, resulting in an amplification of audible intoxication that caresses the senses. The atmospheric production grips onto the chorus, blending well with Amāre’s straightforward approach to demon time. Let’s keep it real; you’re guaranteed to end up in your birthday suit while RIGHT NOW is on rotation. “The writing process was reflecting on times when you're longing for your girl, who continues to leave and backstab you, but you can't help but feel the lust and hunger to come back to eventually make up, then leave, and then repeat the cycle all over again. RIGHT NOW was written on the spot while reflecting on dark times; that's why the tone is mellow and the vibe is dark."- Amāre SNCS provided the production, which perfectly complements Amāre’s vocals. They created an almost dream-like sound, swirling with exotic synths and pulsating rhythms that are drenched in allure. RIGHT NOW has a sensuous synergy, expanding into a late-night escapade that's evolved obsessively, until it downshifts into a distorted, chopped'n'screwed outro. Amāre is currently working on a three-piece EP that follows on from his latest releases, US and RIGHT NOW. He’s also working closely with mixing and mastering engineer @ak_centali and will be utilising more beats from SNCS. Should we add RIGHT NOW to our latest curated playlist Sensual Sessions? Hit the IYCM line if you think we should; otherwise, you can get straight into the business by hitting the UNCVRD '23 link below. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIAYou have now entered the world of rūku! He's raging hot with an album drop titled 'Inside Voice'! Grab your headphones and align your energy, ‘cause this sonical chapter is about spirituality, sensuality, determination, demons, and motivation, and it all commences on Worldclass Intro...brotha. Track one is charged up with progress, encouragement, and a slap of healthy confidence that buzzes and bumps through the walls of expression. rūku introduces his aura through a fade-in of grainy roar and intense vocal bass. The title speaks for itself—it's world-class. Act Up takes it down a tempo but turns up in the area of enticement and arousal. The theme is flirtation, and the afterparty is the destination as rūku raps his heart out about big booty cuties alongside dope artist, Airports. The laid-back instrumentals blend seamlessly with rūku’s drawn-out flow. We have a heater with badlikehades! rūku flips frequencies, tuning into the wave of drill. The track drips with Pop Smoke influence; every grunting ad lib is gritty and growly in all the right places. Stt Laurentt completes the track with his electrifying verse that adds to the instrumental darkness and visually explicit lyrics. rūku exudes a desire full of fire and a release of intensity that has him ignited. Once again, there’s a change in the vibe, and rūku flaunts his abilities in versatility with Track 4: Keep Showing Up. The Afrobeats-inspired track pulsates through the speakers, creating a sonic panorama that instantly transports listeners to an island oasis, all while rūku hypes up his girl's beauty and expresses his impulse for her. It’s the positive reinforcement and healthy companionship that we’re all here for; the vibes are uplifting, and the chorus is gorgeous. Inside Voice is an 18-month-long labor of love peering into the thoughts, moods, and feelings of rūku. You’re listening to an odyssey that looks into rūku’s experience on this earth; it’s his universe and his human experience thus far. “My mindset was purely focused on making the best piece of art possible, but with the right intention. The three biggest inspirations for the album were spirituality, basketball, and moving to Melbourne. The core of this project was spirituality; it was about bringing awareness to the internal monologue, the voice within. Spirituality has taught me meditation and stillness. I’ve learned how to be aware of my thoughts and feelings so I can be in control and create. Basketball ties in with a general fascination for the competitive arena and physical performance. Personal training and fitness were my first passions, but in recent years, a passion for basketball has evolved, and some of the players, such as Kobe, Steph, and Klay, have been role models for work ethic and excellence. I was also listening to David Goggin’s second book during the last week of recording the final vocals. I had a strict deadline and was extremely overworked, but that book allowed me to dig deep and find another level. Since moving to Melbourne, my whole life has changed. So many fundamental relationships have dwindled away, but in their place, new ones have sprung up, and I couldn’t be happier. Melbourne has given me the opportunity to be the artist I wanted to be, and I’m forever grateful for that.” - rūku Next up is How High, which is a cup full of audible celebration for rūku’s creative success to date with an abundance of voice effects, catchy lyrics, and a slick chop-up of electronica that enhances and emphasizes the message expressed. This one right here is definitely a gym playlist staple! Listeners are then hit with an interlude featuring vocals and verses from vibrant artist 43 SCOUT! It’s eff the matrix from the get-go. rūku hops on and reflects on the current state of society, only to hop off and let 43 SCOUT shine. Her ability to deliver verses with a sense of nonchalant intensity and don't f*** with me energy elevates the track to another level. The two gel with precision and vocal perfection, matching each other's authentic energy while exposing NPC behaviour found in our external world. NO ASSIST changes gears with rūku’s voice switch up, imitating an ATV while he rhymes it with CCTV. His clever bars catch the rhythm on this need for speed-type beat that’s revving with passion and has an impel of pressure. He’s stepping on toes, spitting venom, and sounding the alarm for his next level up. Lukrative Outro completes the Inside Voice experience with a Neil Diamond sample and an introspective stance that explores inner thoughts of anxiety, masking, and a case of lost identity, only to refocus back on rūku’s craving for lust and pleasure. There’s a mysterious wickedness lurking in Lukrative; it’s like peaking into rūku going to war with his demons. The beat switch delivers chesty depth, exposing rūku’s psyche and the battles he’s ready to face. The cadence and free flow are accentuated, and that concludes the journey. Inside Voice is a genre-dipping, vocal-experimenting album that showcases rūku’s fearlessness in creativity. He gives his all and leaves it on the beat, leaving room for further musical expansion. The next chapter of rūku is on the move with a deluxe album release and a Brizzy Halloween-themed show curated by artist Airports. The evolution of rūku is on the way; stay ready for a s#it ton of upcoming shows.

Kobe Helu and Nomad222 are entrancing together. “We literally just got in the studio to work on a completely different song when Iconic suggested we cook something fresh to get the creative juices flowing. Kobe jumped on Iconic’s keyboard, saying he was feeling Afrobeats, and once the skeleton was laid out, we all agreed we wanted to do something sexy.” - Nomad222 The lush-like instrumentals are a testament to Iconic Beats versatility. He captures sexiness effortlessly, setting the tone and mood with sultry keys. Love You Need is softly seductive and sonically intoxicating. “As soon as the initial keyboard melody was laid out, Iconic just went straight into building out the rest of this sound, incorporating some shakers and other percussion to enhance the rhythm of it all, create an ambience, and make it more full.” - Kobe Helu No matter your gender, your hips will be feeling the beat and heat of Love You Need to the point of craving more!

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIAAlways with the money on his mind, he’s strictly on his grind and won’t get caught in a single lie; he’s ALPY, and he’s setting the record straight on his hooky, trappy track, No Go. If one thing is for sure, the north and western suburbs operate on similar foundations, and ALPY paints a picture of the values that make the west and north stand out as he puts the north on the map! No Go is a mix reminiscent of multiple influences in rap, hip-hop, and trap; the tempo and ad-libs are on Migos, the verse structure is on Drake, and ALPY then combines all the elements together with a melodic tone and pun-full flow. He makes a statement and sticks to it through his lyrical delivery; in a nutshell, if it goes against ALPY’s code, that’s a No Go. “I just finished doing a show with two other artists that I work really closely with, JDro and Mirna. The energy was crazy; we had friends come through to show support, and that was a pivotal moment. The confidence was high on the stage that night. Personally speaking, I'm usually a nervous wreck before jumping on, but the vibe was different that evening. After leaving the venue, I felt motivated to write something and used the night's energy to create No Go.” - ALPY No Go is a formulaic cup full of motivation, comprising hype, confidence, dominance, confidence, and an underlying laid-back presence. It’s another anthem for your focus-themed playlist. “The first line in the hook had me thinking about all the loyal people around me—the people I'm loyal to.” - ALPY Mixed and mastered by Adrian Swish and produced by Lucas Depetti, No Go follows a foolproof structure that immerses itself in likability from the start to the ending beat switch-up. “No Go is upbeat trap with a slight tinge of drill. It’s a track that could cater to numerous moods, something for people to vibe out to, rage to, get lit to, hype up to, workout to, and chill out to.” - ALPY Currently on a mission to increase his catalogue, it looks like ALPY won’t be on rest anytime soon. His debut EP is scheduled for release in November, and 2024 is where the magic will continue. Listeners will be exposed to the evolution of ALPY in the form of R’N’B. Stay on the hype and spin No Go until it spins out via the link below. AUSTIN, TEXAS, USATEDDYTHELEGACY and Jedi512 aren't just burning bridges; they're saying goodbye and delivering a reminder of their lack of enemy energy. The poison from hating won't be sipped on their honest track; NO CALLER ID. While the taste of NO CALLER ID is presented in subtle bitterness from the betrayals and what has been witnessed, it's grounded within a zenful soundscape, reminiscent of the monk mentality that essentially centres your energy. Bar after bar, punch after punch, NO CALLER ID is among the songs of the awaken. TEDDYTHELEGACY and Jedi512 recollect their experiences and represent the lesson learned from the madness of being aware and elevating your highest self. They apply pressure with every enunciated rhyme released, highlighting the reality of life; it can be disappointing at times, even temporarily dissatisfying, but there is always an opportunity, a choice to recoup and reset in the name of resilience. “The writing process and inspiration for NO CALLER ID really came from how the beat made me feel. It's like a gritty vibe with a Japanese sample, so I wanted to tap into my 36 Chambers bag and really go in! I love the beat so much because it's simple, and simplicity is my whole brand, so anytime I can turn something simple into a masterpiece, that's a job well done in my book."- TEDDYTHELEGACY TEDDYTHELEGACY and Jedi512 captured a wave of emotions for when you're cleaning up house; each verse is laced with philosophical cleverness and both exude their own flawless textured flows on the beat. They acknowledge the mentalities of others while mastering their own and touch on masking, escapism, and behaviour circuits that cause stagnation and drop your vibration; simply put, they ain’t about that life. Their rhyme scheme is unmatched, and when paired with Producer Juno’s creativity, NO CALLER ID ranks velociously. “The production influence is from the old-school Japanese vibe from the 70's, when you had artists like Anri that were putting their soul into the music. There are so many samples you can grab from her work; it's amazing!” - TEDDYTHELEGACY TEDDYTHELEGACY currently has a project in the works; however, no release date has been confirmed as of yet. His EP ‘Product of My Flaws’ is out, and it’s a must listen if you’re a fan of NO CALLER ID. Hit the link below to jump back into the vibe. |
