Song of the Day: Run – A.M. SNiPER

Following on from what was an exceptional 2018 that saw the rapper build over 1.5 million fans, over quarter of a million hours of streaming and reaching in to 60 countries with his music, A.M. SNiPER returns with his first drop of 2019, ‘RUN’.

With Ayo Beatz providing the beats, the intoxicatingly melodic, instrumental loop is doused in layers of varying bass, which A.M. SNiPER uses to skilfully flirt with a mixture of flows as he delivers his raw, confident and playful lyricism. The heavy bassline and rhythmic drops create an ominous yet bouncy feel as he spits bold lyrics about success, focus and intentions.

Having built a cult hip-hop following, last year proved to be a whirlwind for the rapper. From the release of single ‘SUPREME’, which saw his music spread globally, gaining over five million streams to date and over 1.4 million YouTube hits, A.M SNiPER went on to hit the European tour circuit, alongside Tekashi 6ix 9ine, resulting him being featured across the VICE network. A.M SNiPER was also nominated as part of the ‘Best Duo’ at the MAD Video Awards for track ‘Harry Houdini’ (which has topped over eight million YouTube views to date), and to top off the year, he received a nomination for ‘Man Of The Year’ in Cyprus MAN Magazine.

With a multi-track release in the pipeline for later this year and hints at a number of exciting features being on the line-up alongside him, ‘RUN’ opens the doors on what is going to be another phenomenal year for A.M. SNiPER.

EP Review: Jade Vol.1 – Bianca Jade

Following the release of her single, ‘Feelin’, Florida’s rising R&B singer BIANCA JADE continues to spread the message of self-love and empowerment to the fellow female race, through her second EP ‘Jade Vol.1’, released yesterday.

Comprising of just four tracks, ‘Jade Vol.1’ introduces a bed of soothingly idyllic soundscapes, met with an infectiously dominant b-line through ‘Used To This.’ This combo, topped off by Jade’s alluringly delicate vocals, continues throughout the set.

Concluding piece,’B.S.’, pleasantly interrupts the EP’s soothing theme, with angelic guitar plucks taking centre stage and gives some body to the track’s airy arrangement. Jade’s vocals, which remained constantly delicate throughout the EP, suddenly roars with passion, definitely one of the highlights of the collection.

Having creating major buzz in her hometown, Miami with debut EP, ‘B-Light’, the Cuban/Jamaican songbird decided to step up her music career by moving to New York City – and her latest offering has every possibility to repeat that success in the Big Apple.

It’s time to witness a star on the rise – check her out below:
