Darius Martin is ready to set summer ablaze with single, ‘Fill My Cup’

Los Angeles based artist DARIUS MARTIN‘s new single, ‘Fill My Cup’, celebrates afrobeats and its culture with enticing percussion, euphoric riffs and vivid lyrics that transports into a romantic sonic fantasy.

Paired with a vibrant visualizer that captures Darius Martin and a room full of friends letting loose and dancing to ‘Fill My Cup’, the visuals are equally as celebratory as the track itself. ‘Fill My Cup’ is that song to kickstart the summer with explorative energy and sensual sonics.

On the track Darius adds, “Wizkid, Tems, and Omah Lay are some of my favorite Afrobeat artists right now. This genre is so important, because it’s a part of something much bigger than just music – it’s an entire movement happening right in front of our eyes! I feel that music should represent positivity as much as possible and when I listen to Afrobeats that’s what I see portrayed most. “Fill My Cup” isn’t about alcohol or anything that can harm you; it’s about love and filling your cup up with God, knowledge, understanding, peace, love, and everything positive! I wanted to make a feel good song you can spend summer nights driving around to.”

Darius Martin got his start in the American Southwest where he grew up in cities among the likes of El Paso, Texas and Alamogordo, New Mexico. He went on to move to Los Angeles where he got his degree from the acclaimed Los Angeles Film Institute. He has received acclaim from Earmilk, Lyrical Lemonade, Allhiphop and ThisisRNB.

Song of the Day: Gucci – Sneakbo (ft. Lyco, Ivorian Doll & 2Face)

South London’s SNEAKBO teams up with Lyco, Ivorian Doll and Two Face for their latest collaborative single ‘Gucci’.

A completely organic track that happened naturally when the artists were together in Birmingham where Sneakbo linked up with Lyco and Ivorian Doll for the first time. The chemistry was so special, they decided to lay down a demo and this was the end result recorded on the first go. Two Face was in the same building and dropped into the session and ended up recording the last verse.

Lyco kicks the track off with a melodic hook, whilst Sneakbo takes the lead verse bringing his wavy vibes and lyrics to the track. Ivorian Doll steps in after Sneakbo showcasing her lyrical flow and singing skills and Two Face brings the greasy drill bars for a rap track with a hint of Afrobeats.

The video matches the artists lyrics showing the high life with a private jet, designer clothes and private limos.

Gucci is out now across various music platforms. Check out the track and visuals below…

J Kas drops new track, ‘Come On Down’ ft. Lucas Garcez + video

Fresh out of Sheffield, Rapper J KAS drops some old-school favour in new track, ‘Come on Down,’ featuring Brazilian-born rapper Lucas Garcez. The Dreamlife-produced-joint, is a testament to the artistic synergy that emerged when these two talents crossed paths in Porto, Portugal, in 2018. J. Kas and Lucas Garcez, brought together by a shared passion for music and hip-hop, create a vibrant sonic celebration of their respective journeys in the world of art.

In this track, J. Kas pays homage to Porto, the city he now calls his second home, where the collaboration with Lucas Garcez took root. Lucas, having relocated to Porto during his youth, adds a unique perspective, making the city an integral part of his identity. The lyrics reflect the duo’s love for music, dedication to honing their craft, and an enthusiastic celebration of the hip-hop culture that unites them.

As the verses unfold, the rappers not only express their shared artistic endeavors but also give a nod to both Porto and Sheffield, acknowledging the cities that have played crucial roles in shaping their identities as artists. ‘Come on Down’ becomes a symbolic bridge between two cultures, connecting Sheffield and Porto through the universal language of hip-hop. The track is more than just music; it’s a testament to the power of collaboration, cultural exchange, and the enduring spirit of hip-hop that transcends geographical boundaries.
