Jason Griff Taps Teller Bank$ & AJ Suede For Track. ‘DISCMAN’

A year and a half after releasing his critically-acclaimed Fireside Chats album, producer JASON GRIFF brings us the sequel of his groundbreaking compilation series featuring some of the most prolific rappers in underground hip-hop on beats rooted in obscure punk rock sample flips. Prior to the album release on 14th October, he slips a preview of first single, ‘DISCMAN’ featuring Teller Bank$ and AJ Suede.

‘DISCMAN’ flips a timeless hardcore song into an equally hardcore track, backed by shredded guitar leads and thunderous 808 bass lines, Bank$ and Suede attack the soundscape with nostalgic tales of Discmans and other portable music devices and the occasional robbery of such items.

Fireside Chats 2 releases on 14th October and features appearances from Brian Ennals, Curly Castro, Defcee, Premrock, ZIlla Rocca, Fatboi Sharif, Jesse the Tree and many others in addition to Bank$ and Suede.

‘DISCMAN’ is available now on all streaming platforms. Check it out below…

RAYL Reminisces Over The Perfect Love With New Single, ‘Summertime’

Just over a year after she burst onto the Canadian R&B scene with her critically acclaimed debut EP Romeo Must Die, emerging Toronto singer and songwriter RAYL is back to close out summer 2022 with the aptly titled ‘Summertime’ featuring fellow up-and-coming Toronto talent Erin B. Written by Rayl and Erin, and produced by Adam Josh, who has also worked with some of Toronto’s finest including Savannah Re, LOONY, and Yarah, ‘Summertime’ is the precursor to Rayl’s upcoming film project for her Romeo Must Die EP, which is set for release at the end of the year.

Inspired by Rayl’s fascination with love in the summer, ‘Summertime’ is a beautiful guitar-led R&B ballad about two lovers reminiscing about their perfect summer romance, with Rayl waxing lyrical about her insecurities in love, and wanting her man to take her feelings seriously, and Erin B professing his love, and assuring his leading lady that he is for real, and theirs is a love that’s meant to last.
