Song of the Day: Ride – Antonio Breez

Just under two years after the success of his acclaimed fourth album ‘Views & Likes’, which birthed breakout singles like ‘Listening To Drake’ and ‘Snap Chat’, Boston rapper, singer and songwriter ANTONIO BREEZ is gearing up to release his anticipated fifth studio album this fall. Now based in Los Angeles, the witty Boston lyricist and smooth vocalist is excited to begin his 2022 rollout with the glorious R&B opus titled ‘RIDE’, along with its summer-ready music video to accompany it.

Written by Antonio Breez and produced by Ocean Luciano, ‘Ride’ is a smooth and captivating offering, held together by Breez’s vocal dexterities and infectious melodies, under which producer Luciano lays an undeniable R&B sound bed that’s driven by glorious Spanish guitar arrangements, 808 drum patterns and lush synths. The track sees the LA-based Boston native singing and waxing lyrical about finding that ride or die lover that will be down for him through thick and thin.

Championed by MTV, Genius, BET, VH1, HipHopDX and Hot 97, among others, Antonio Breez burst onto the hip-hop and rap landscape with his seminal debut album ‘The Convocation Of Antonio Breez’, and followed it up with his classic Migration Narrative and Migration Narrative two projects, before 2020’s breakout album Views & Likes that perfectly captured his newly crafted hip-hop and R&B fusion sound. ‘Ride’ is the next step on Breez’ trajectory to the world by storm in 2022.

Song of the Day: On Me – Brandz (ft. Ziezie)

Lifted from his second solo EP in two years, Street & Soul (SNS), UK rap and R&B rising star BRANDZ has linked up with eclectic UK rapper and singer ZIEZIE for his single and EP focus track titled ‘On Me’. Produced by Vitals, who has also worked with the likes of B Young, Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Tjay, the infectious UK R&B-rap fusion offering also comes with a lush perfect-for-summer music video filmed in London and shot by seasoned video director Sesan, whose directorial credits include working with Kanye West, Cardi B and Migos, among others.

‘On Me’ comes on the back of Brandz recently receiving the BRIT Certified Silver award for his viral hit track ‘Intro (Real Love)’ with Zion Foster, from their breakthrough 25/8 collaborative project that has amassed over 250 million streams and sold over half a million units worldwide.

Emerging onto the UK music scene as part of the award-winning British duo Tizzy x Brandz that gave us cult classics such as ‘All Ways’ and ‘Escobar’, Brandz has gone on to become a force to be reckoned with as a solo rising star, with over two million monthly listeners on Spotify, and support from the likes of BBC 1Xtra, GRM Daily, TRENCH, Earmilk, Spotify, MTV UK and Notion, among others. Over the past 12 months, the North London native has been working on his highly anticipated Street & Soul EP and his debut album with the likes of 4-time Grammy Award winner Larrance Dopson (1500 Or Nothin) and DJ Khalil (Nipsey Hussle, A$AP Ferg), among others.
