It’s only been three years since WILL INSPIRE entered the hip-hop game… and already he’s made a HUGE impact. The conscious upriser performed at SXSW 2 years straight, headlined numerous music festivals, and opened up for hip-hop heavyweight, Kendrick Lamar.

Now WILL INSPIRE took the next big step and released his first full-length project, Empty Pockets,  which features inspiring and  sit-up-and-take-note lyrics over mainly super-smooth, 90s-inspired chilled hip-hop beats. Definitely worth the attention.

Song of the Day: Cusp – Forebear

 

Today’s song is Cusp by Los Angeles-based indie rock band, FOREBEAR. The single is coming from their debut self-titled EP.

The band came to life in early 2014, when frontman Scott Goldbaum and Molly Rogers (viola, vocals) join forces with Mike Mussleman (drums) and Nick Chadian (bass). Each member have worked with various artists/bands including Feist, Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Bastille.

After a few months into their existence, the four-piece rockers caught the attention of famed producer/engineer Scott Gordon (Alanis Morissette, Ringo Star) and the result was their debut  EP.  Cusp made it to today’s hot spot as it features Goldbaum’s stream of conscious lyrics, Molly’s  brooding viola solos and a velvety  rock drive that’s rarely found today.

FORBEAR EP is available right here.
