Song of the Day: Essence – AC3 (ft. JAY.P)

AC3‘s second solo single ‘Essence’, sees the Irish rapper taps fellow rap artist JAY.P to work their magic on a summer-charged, Afroswing beat by JBJ.

AC3 displays his vocal capabilities with flowing melodies while singing about a broken relationship. Upon completion of recording, he felt something was missing and approached JAY.P about laying down a verse. JAY.P spices things up with his straight to the point rap verse.

Expect a string of pumping music and striking videos from this promising upriser…but for now, check out the video for ‘Essence’ below…

Listen To Credle’s new single ‘The Chase’

Introducing upcoming artist CREDLE and his new single titled ‘The Chase’, which no doubt will be an instant favourite for those who love house music and Afrobeats. A deep soulful four-on-the-floor pattern perfectly blends with Credle’s vocals which gives off a rich Motherland feel.

Born and raised in South Jamaica, Queens Credle’s love for music ignited when his father began directing the choir where he was a member until he was in high school.

After leaving the choir, Credle began to fall in love with the art of poetry. He saw his words on the page and felt he had found an outlet to express the emotions he often could not share as a young black kid growing up in Southside Jamaica Queens. After some time, he began to explore the combination of melodies as well as rhymes and took to the art of rapping. During his college years, Credle fully committed himself to creating music.

Also a songwriter and music executive, Credle is a CEO/Founder of Credle Entertainment.
