Lex Leosis Returns with Track ‘Ouzo’

If you fly by the blog regularly, then you should know that LEX LEOSIS is loud, opinionated, and constantly fighting for what she believes in. Check out her previous releases here.

From humble beginnings, Lex first found a home in hip-hop at rap competitions and cyphers. She met a number of creatives through online rap communities and has joined her peers in cities all over the U.S. to collaborate, make music and perform. Spending most of her time in the Bay Area of California, Lex has allowed her traveling influences to expand her music sound and capability.

Sonically different to her previous releases, Lex’s brand new single, ‘Ouzo’, adopts a downtempo groove-driven vibe with funk inspired riffs and smooth melodies juxtaposed with an attack in her flow.

Song of the Day: Tim Burt – Keynes Woods

KEYNES WOODS returns with single ‘Tim Burt’, the second drop from his long-awaited EP ‘Kongo Kane’, out now.

‘Tim Burt’, the signature single from the project, gives credit where credits due – Keynes shouts out to all the people it takes to put music out.

He states: “A lot of artists get props for the numbers on the board, but other areas of their game are ignored”. He uses this clever metaphor to reflect on his background as an athlete and ball-player and transfer it to music. He wants to celebrate the well-rounded trench workers that may not get as much love as the flashy one-note players.

The Toronto-based rapper has been celebrated for his experimental voice and playful aesthetics since the start of his musical career but it wasn’t until his epic performance in the COLORS box early last year where he was launched into the spotlight. Since then he has gained support from the likes of Highsnobiety, Redbull, Complex, Hypebeast and TMRW  and is fast becoming one of Toronto’s sizeable up and-comers.

KNOE Goes On A Lusty Journey With ‘Manhattan Summer’

Perfect for those warm summer nights, KNOE‘s new single ‘Manhattan Summer’, captures the rough sophistication of love in the queen of metropolis.

KNOE unfolds his seemingly effortless ability to transport the listener to ‘there and then’, with an element of Jazzy rap that makes this joint so sensual.

The inspiration behind this track goes back to his times in Manhattan. KNOE holds our hand and takes us for a walk through a romantic period full of lust and desire, while drawing a parallel between falling head over heels for someone and for a temperamental scene like Manhattan. “In reminiscence of that summer, I noticed a crazy similarity between the way I felt for a woman and the way I felt for the city.” The independent artist works alongside singer Paloma to bring those hot late evenings in the city to life.

‘Manhattan Summer’ follows his 2019 EP ‘Reasons’ and latest single ‘Down’. This one’s a REAL gem. Check it out below…

Citizen Kay Teams Up With Genesis Owusu For Some ‘Funny Business’

Australian hip-hop artist CITIZEN KAY dishes up a tasty fun-packed, funk-fuelled joint titled ‘Funny Business’. Paying homage to the glory days of soulful US rap music of the 80s, the accompanied video could be mistaken for a US cult 80s movie or sitcom, which features the rapper kitted out as a typical high-flying yuppie.

Speaking on the release, Citizen Kay says “The track explores our relationship with mainstream media and how we’re expected to trust it all without question. People need to find their own truths. Stop adopting everything you read or see without researching it for yourself.”

2020 marks a fresh chapter for the ARIA-nominated artist who has toured Australia extensively, supporting the likes of Public Enemy, Run The Jewells, Ice Cube, Danny Brown, Wiz Khalifa and Earl Sweatshirt.

‘Funny Business’ is now out on all major download/streaming sites…but before you head out, check out the dope visuals for the single below…
