Hailing from Hamilton – a city in Ontario – DBLCRSS and JAY PORTAL are hell-bent on injecting some serious fire into their hometown’s near non-existent hip-hop scene with brand new single, ‘Beast Boy’
Although their latest effort is a hip-hop track that boasts an infectiously boisterous bass, the Canadian youngsters wanted to produce accompanied visuals that’s not the typical rap video – so there’ll be no feature of video babes twerking in the clubs with champagne poured all over them (sorry guys!)
‘Beast Boy’, the first release from their debut EP ‘Hell Is Where The Heart Is’, out now on all streaming/downloading sites.
ZANGBA‘s hip-hop and R&B gem, ‘I’m Good For You’ – which features the mesmerising vocals of California’s R&B/soul singer Maskerade – received a refreshing makeover from Swedish producer Workelius. With its ultra-pounding baseline, flirtatious raps and soulful vocals, this dance-friendly banger is ripe for radio airplay and is guaranteed to get heads bopping and feet tapping.
‘I’m Good For You’ documents that flirtatious relationship between a man and a woman. Speaking of the single, ZANGBA says: ” Once the carefree and flirtatious period is over, the guy quickly realises that his love interest is a much better fit than his past girlfriends, making her the perfect wife material. The kale greens, which is pictured on the cover art, symbolises they’re a great fit.”
The original version of ‘I’m Good For You’ is featured on ZANGBA’s debut mixtape, entitled, ‘Hip-Hop, Soul, and R&B’. The ten-track project is smothered with a nostalgic flair and layered with classic raps and a delicious dose of soul music.

‘Get You Alone’ is the first single from CONRAD THE THIRD‘s forthcoming, debut project, ‘Calm Waters’.
Based on a real life experience, ‘Get You Alone’ – the first R&B song written by the Canadian singer/songwriter – is about wanting somebody to meet you halfway in a relationship, in order to grow – regardless of whether that meant growing together or apart.
Recorded in one take, ‘Get You Alone’ sets the tone for his upcoming project, which delves deeper into the trials and tribulations of the newcomer’s life and relationships.
Newcomer MAREK KUBALA pours his inner musings into his debut EP ‘Awhile’, released on 10th August via 3BarFire Recordings.
Fusing the progressive electronics of French duo Air with the acoustic subtleties of Elliot Smith and Nick Drake, ‘Awhile’s warm, lo-fi tracks combine heartfelt lyricism with lush instrumentation. First from the EP is lead single ‘Tableturn’ which hails back to a relationship that wasn’t meant to be, enveloping the heartfelt lyricism with soaring strings and soft instrumentals.
Based in East London, the Huddersfield native began his musical journey playing the folk and acoustic nights around the North of England. During his studies in Liverpool, he was introduced to a vibrant house and techno scene. Integrating the two worlds, ‘Awhile’ combines the retro 60s/70s-influenced psychedelia of indie music with the droning hypnotism of electronica.
The budding artist is set to release more this year as the lead singer of a new electro-indie band, comprised of DJ/producers Jerry Bouthier and Andrea Gorgerino (Kitsune/Vivienne Westwood).
In his pursuit of new sounds, Marek can be described in contrasts: organic yet downbeat, nostalgic yet forward moving. With the release of his debut EP, the musician has demonstrated his ability to successfully create his own sonic dreamscape.
Upcoming Detroit hip hop artist NEBR, THE TIGER rocks up into the limelight with latest track ‘w&b’. The left-field hip-hop banger that preaches an anthem to his lifestyle over a sub bass heavy beat with textured soundscapes produced by Newsensei. With the hype building around his upcoming album ‘Insight’ coming out in the late summer, there’s no telling on what he has in store for this year.
NEBR, THE TIGER’s music has been featured on Arson Capital Magazine, Daily Hip Hop Jamz and of course New Lease Music with previous upbeat number, ‘Bootleg’ – check it out sometime
