Rapper/singer, multi-hyphenate LYRIC JONES starts the year with a massive BANG with the John Benneche-directed music video for ‘Rock On’. The hard-hitting, Nottz-produced song is from Jones’s latest album ‘Closer Than They Appear’, which was released to critical acclaim in October of last year and made some notable year-end lists.
With about a decade-long career already under her belt, Lyric came onto the scene with debut album, ‘Jones St’, which features collaborations with the late Phife Dawg (of A Tribe Called Quest) and Esperanza Spalding.
Lyric has also collaborated and toured with her mentor Rah Digga, and shared stages with Pete Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Dilated Peoples, Robert Glasper and Avery Sunshine.

Danish singer and producer MARIE DAHLSTROM teams up with London-based producer Dan Diggas and Canadian rapper Aligo for single, ‘Fall Down’.
The single represents the point in a relationship where a couple’s resolve is being tested. A delicate blend of hip hop, soul and R&B; soothing late-night R&B-flavoured production provides a luxurious base for Dahlstrom and Aligo’s considered vocal interplay.
‘Fall Down’ serves as the lead single of Marie’s EP,
The ‘4inARow’, out January 15th via JFH Records. ‘4inARow’ follows Marie Dahlstrom’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘Like Sand’ released in May earlier last year, and arrives hot on the heels of standalone single “Good Thing”, released in October – all released via Marie’s own label JFH Records – named after the block of flats where Marie, Dan and Aligo all live together.
