Ryan De La Cruz Mixes R&B And Dream-Trap Seamlessly In ‘Stubborn’

22-year-old singer RYAN DE LA CRUZ returns with a trap tinged, R&B joint ‘Stubborn’, the second single off his forthcoming EP ‘Syko’

Originally launched into the spotlight in 2017 with single ‘Know About Me’, which quickly surpassed one million views and was crowned ’the best rap video of 2017′ by DJ Semtex, Ryan has been a tearing up the scene for a while. He is now back in full force following the success of his collaboration with Ghetts and S Wavey on ‘Player’ and critically acclaimed single ’Syko’ earlier this year.

Drawing influences from the likes of Michael Jackson, D’Angelo and Chris Brown as well as his tough East London upbringing, Ryan has been setting himself apart from the new generation of UK talent. He injects soulful R&B feels into his fruitful plethora of inspiration, while making it an aim to sing about real-life, important issues.

This upcoming EP is a true testament to this and highlights Ryan’s unique way of thinking. ‘Syko’ is a conceptual body of work, playing on the different facets of his personality with singles like ‘Stubborn’, ‘Crazy’, ‘Rockstar’ and of course, ‘Syko’. The project is an ode to being accepting of who you are, and as Ryan states: “We’ve all got a sense of craziness, be cool with that, it’s ok to be syko”. Using his passion for playing on the juxtaposition of emotion and concept, each track and video really highlight his undeniable eye for fashion and art that has forever been setting him apart from the rest.

With ‘Stubborn’ as a somewhat warm up for what’s he has under his sleeve – so brace yourself for his conceptual greatness! This young artist has truly up’ed the ante this year and this is only the beginning.

Song of the Day: Pattern – Trinity Square

Ever since Huey, ZIA, YD, Baby Boy and Trizzy VS released breakout record ‘Creepin’, they’ve been on an upward trajectory and their latest joint ‘Pattern’ looks set to see them enjoy further success as they continue to take their sound to another level.

With a varied mix of 5 separate sonics that provide rap, singing, depth, pace changes and knock out hooks, TRINITY SQUARE confidently blend individuality with the power of a group and are quickly being identified for the fact they can create big, original, sing-a-long records that highlight their exuberant energy and style.

Rooted in friendship, the music is a by-product of the natural vibe between the guys, which is why it works so flawlessly. Their shared opinions, personal takes on situations and ability to share playful innuendos and concepts, in an individual way, makes the result unique, genuine and contrasting from other music on offer right now.

With their hometown of Nottingham already firmly on lock from impressive early releases including ‘Pull Up’, ‘Gwop & Gwolla’, ‘Cold Summer’ and ‘Fanta’, TRINITY SQUARE found their first taste of major support with their most recent single ‘Creepin’ and have since gained support from fellow Notts chart hitters Young T & Bugsey.

A.M. SNiPER TAKES YOU TO THE TROPICS WITH NEW TRACK ‘YEA YEA YEA’

Currently on his European Summer Tour, A.M. SNiPER has still found time to drop his brand new joint ‘Yea Yea Yea’ and the video is giving us all the summer feels which has been watched over quarter million times in its first two days online. Produced by the hottest duo in the UK right now, Da Beatfreakz are responsible for a string of recent chart hits including ‘Motorola’ ft. Dappy, Swarmz & Deno, Cadet and Deno’s ‘Advice’ and Swarmz ft Tion Wayne ‘Bally’, and now A.M. SNiPER blesses one of their productions for another wavey smash.

Premiering with DJ Kenny Allstar on BBC Radio 1Xtra the melodic, vibrant and meandering beat is scattered with snares and tropical synths that are given a spirited, confident and slick vocal topping from A.M. SNiPER. Making a departure from the deeper, ominous hip-hop vibe of previous singles ‘RUN” and Supreme’, which have collectively been viewed almost four million times on YouTube and have a cool seven million Spotify streams between them, A.M. SNiPER is a master of capturing a vibe and ‘Yea Yea Yea’ is clear evidence of his artistic talents as he dips in and out of varying flows, pace and tone to document his lavish lifestyle as a rapper, producer and entrepreneur.

Performing at Europe’s biggest summer stages including Plug Nation Festival and Kandi Fest, A.M. SNiPER has already hit the stage alongside Rae Sremmurd, Gunna, Yxng Bane, D-Block Europe, Fredo and Dappy in the last month and is still yet to grace the line up at Fire on the Beach (Malia) and Ibiza Rocks.

Check out the video for the A.M. SNiPER‘s summer banger below:
