“City of God is my favorite movie, I feel like I related to a couple of the characters coming from the background I’m from. When I heard that beat, it gave me that dark story-telling feel.”

Better Than You speaks on moving forwards and not looking back. There’s a sense of accomplishment in the lyrics and indeed in Angelle’s delivery of them. That vocal has believable swagger about it, meandering effortlessly through these notes but also hitting with impact rather than simply and softly whispering the ideas.
To hear this fusion of influences is massively refreshing right now. Louie Lahana is undoubtedly talented, freely creative, provocatively thoughtful, and immensely interesting.
The flow during the verses never fails to impress, the rhythm of that outpouring is on point at every step, and the lyrics that come with it seek to equally represent the go your own way aura that is the intention of the track.
Up & Leave drives with a gathering of voices, a performance soaked in angst and passion, and a lyrical backbone that openly declares the pain and confusion of being deserted and broken hearted.
Love Hurts welcomes both the uplifting embrace of a synth-soaked EDM backdrop and the heartfelt, passionate connection of a song written with depth and intention.
The song is incredibly personal, and those intimate emotions stand tall – Mr. MooQ has encapsulated the underlying sentiment in everything from the lyrics to the structure to the performance. It’s a quickly likable track, and one that’s difficult to forget once it’s crossed your path.
This beat gives the composition a pulse, a notable level of humanity that drives things along. You feel as if the soundscape is slowly enveloping you, and that somehow your heart-rate is rising in the process – perhaps perfectly well encapsulating whatever it is that the word Dive conjures up for the listener.
Fresh from his new EP A Conduit of Light, Enjoy Yourself is an impressively creative and emotionally honest yet optimistic track that introduces the artist Dane in a bold and powerful way.
The roots of the genre stand tall, that voice has character and these bars impress more and more so as the track progresses, but that backbone of authenticity in the beat and the weight of the soundscape helps cement the track as more than worthy of its role within hip hop.
All This Huxley are incredible, refreshing and artful, fascinating, passionate. This project is everything you could hope for when the search for new music seems to have grown impossible. A total dream to escape within for a while.
Footprints seeks to and succeeds in energizing and inspiring its listeners. That lightly uplifting groove combined with this smart and empowering lyrical performance works beautifully. A definite must for the coming months.
