Nashville, TN, USAWe’ve got Jyou and K.O.N back at it again for a third collaboration with their trailblazing marks that continue to put Nashville on the map. The Boombox EP serves five songs and a listening experience of sixteen minutes, making it perfect to process and digest at any given time of the day. First up is a speaker breaker. Hips opens with a culture classic from Huey and Riley, you feel me?! It's quick and a hit, and you’ll want the volume turned all the way up for this turnt AF track. Hips is easily one of the catchiest tracks present in this body of work from Jyou and K.O.N. You'll be repeating 'drop them hips if you’re a baddie' in no rush! Jyou and K.O.N deliver each verse with gumption, growl, and vocal grit as they experiment with their own range, cadence, and lyrical output. “We had a bunch of songs on the hard drive, and as we drew closer to the summer, we felt like it was a good time to package them all together. A session at Kon’s studio sparked it off. We created the intro track on the project Hips, and felt like, sonically that was the direction we were going in.” - Jyou MIA continues the up-tempo vibes and penetrating bass. The chorus unravels as an anthem as Jyou and K.O.N nonchalantly flow “baby girl, ian never made a slow song, life too fast," and best believe the visuals match the energy. It’s a fun fusion of hype, beautiful women, temporary desire, and celebration. You can’t f*** with 'em. We Aight, featuring JORDAN Xx switches the pace and takes the party to another level with these three on demon time. The production continuously delivers vitality; it’s like a breath of fresh air after each transition, verse, and hook. It’s evident that an insane amount of trekking through new aural territory and feeling, as well as thinking outside the box, was present during the recording process. It’s cool, it’s better than aight, and in the famous words of the legend Katt Williams, tonight we’re getting f***** up! “For this EP specifically, we wanted to create a present-day sound while paying homage to the influences that've moulded us. With songs like “Frondoe (ft. Artbully)," which ties into our southern roots, and “We Aight (ft. JordanXx)," the hype hair swingin’ joints. Even tracks like "MIA," produced by $hrames, and "Leisure," produced by AB Eastwood, give you this video game-like feel with the ringing sample.” - Jyou Frondoe featuring Artbully is a personal favourite with its light and twinkling instrumental elements that push forward Jyou and K.O.N’s vocal depth and bright flows while emphasizing Artbully's feminine tone that’s injected with a slight masculine kick. It feels like a world full of innocence and vulnerability, exposed amongst the masking games and pain. We’ve got tempo switches, impeccable storytelling, and real-life relatability for those in dead-end relationships. This is the joint that'll increase your confidence and have you leaving your man at the front door as you activate your ego to throw that a** some more. Leisure completes the journey of The Boombox and downshifts the frequency for the final chill-out session. It’s the classic end to a party when the memories are complete and some of the energy of the night wants to be further explored. The instrumentals are light, airy, and butterfly-like; the chorus is divine and elongated, adding to the gentle theme; and meanwhile, there is another proud culture moment where Season 1, Episode 2, on The Boondocks is paid respect. The Boombox EP is a dynamic, audibly tantalising, genre experimental project that is dipped with Rap, Hip-Hop and R&B and hints at Jazz, Hard-style, and Electronica influences. Jyou and K.O.N truly poured their creative souls into this exquisite sonical concoction, flaunting their musicianship skills, and their ability to blend their own respective frequencies into a magic melting pot of music.
