New Music Video: Brown Liquor – Ron Beatty (ft. Wade Soul)

On a mission to break the mold in the rap game, RON BEATTY drops some turnt-up visuals for new single, ‘Brown Liquor’. Sporting a laid-back b-line, coupled with the smooth soulful instrument of Wade Soul, ‘Brown Liquor’ is an ode to progression, despite the occasional misstep.

Tipped to be an instant favorite, ‘Brown Liquor’ is taken from the North Carolina rapper’s brand new album, ‘Nights Like This’ – released yesterday – which continues to ooze too-cool-for-school, chilled out vibes with some real honest lyrics.

Sounds good? Better get the first taste of the album and hit play on that sweet ‘Brown Liquor’…

New Track: Moving Targets: Wild Rivers

Despite being an incredible 2018 for WILD RIVERS, which saw them tour across North America as well as meeting people who share a connection to their music, the four-piece band somehow felt disconnected from all the things that provided love and comfort – home.

Recorded live off the floor with producer, Dan Hosh, their latest single, ‘Moving Target,’ encompasses all their feelings of being far away from the comfort zone, accompanied with the vulnerable guitar plucks and the irresistibly lush harmonies, which provide a rich folk/singer-songwriter affair.

Despite being disconnected from home whilst on tour, the guys are gearing up to headline some shows around their native country, Canada (see tours dates below).

Be sure to look out for more material from WILD RIVERS, as they’ve got really something special. Check out ‘Moving Targets’ below:

New Music Video: Same Old Me – Dabbla

Potent Funk’s recruit DABBLA has unveiled the visual for track ‘Same old Me’. Produced by the mighty Hashfinger and directed by SpinCity, the latest release is lifted from the second solo LP ‘Death Moves’, out now. The album features appearances from Rag N Bone Man, PENGSHUi’s Illaman, Jam Baxter, Eva Lazarus and DABBLA‘s grime family LDZ.

For the tenth single from his ‘Death Moves album’, DABBLA delivers a healthy dose of brutally honest poetry fused with a candid sense of self-deprecating dark humour. The menacing production works as a crispy base as the UK veteran spitter sprinkles his spicy ingredients to prove why he’s one of the realist out there.

Follow up single ‘Tweeters’, which features award-winning soul vocalist Rag N Bone Man, is due for release soon…be sure to look out for it

For now,check it out the blazing video for ‘Same Old Me’ below:

EP Review: All In Me – Laolu

LAOLU‘s 2018 single, ‘How To Feel’ has got me fired up enough to look out for her debut  EP, ‘All In Me’…and judging from the strong support she received from BBC 1xtra and The Best Line Fits, it seems that I’m not the only one left hanging for the nine-track set.

Kicking off with a moody introduction through single ‘Buffering’, the EP predominantly delves into the haziness of smooth R&B and soul. Fifth effort, ‘Disconnect’, showcases a flair of the blues, intensifying the spine-tingling sensation presented in the EP. ‘So Right’ momentarily breaks away from the collection’s misty theme by injecting a smooth chirpiness of the Afro/reggae-esque bassline.

Those who admire the musical prowess of artist H.E.R, will definitely warm towards the South-East London songstress, who wants to offer the listener a fresh perspective on traditional R&B/Soul – and she does it perfectly through ‘All In Me’. Check her out below:

Must Listens: Disconnect, 20’s, Love Lost Found.
