That’s why I’ve decided to leave you in the very capable hands of Chris Whyte – aka CRSWHT – and his track, ‘Light Work’. The New York spitter certainly makes light work of this seriously hard banger by slamming down a mindblowingly swift flow.

REGI FLIH sports some summer vibes with the release of his fourth and latest joint, ‘Bad For Me’. A different approach from his previous releases, ‘Bad For Me boasts’ an unexpected sound showing the versatility the artist has to offer.
With production work from Dough Related labelmate FRAAN, the singer-songwriter has come through with a perfectly constructed smooth, bouncy R&B anthem. Bad For Me alludes to the excitement of having a secretive, seductive encounter with your lover.
Regi Flih has scored success with previous singles, ‘Something For Me’, ‘Feeling Some Way’ and ‘Strip’ which have collectively amassed over one million streams on all platforms and has been featured on internationally recognized music blogs such as AU Dollars, Notoriously Canada, NXTSTYLE’s Top 100 Songs of 2019, as well as receiving airtime from radio station Power 106 (Los Angeles) from host Shirley Ju.

NEAK‘s latest project, ‘KWESBAAR RMXS’ maybe a mini set of just five tracks, but it burst with influences, with his spin on hip-hop from the golden era (circa late 80’s), which is often met with rhythmic loops of 70s-style soulful vocals. Third effort ‘The Gift (Mashup)’, brings a little something different to the project as it taps into the boombap vibe working in unison with bluesy jazz tones for that tinging sensation.
‘KWESBAAR RMXS’ is a spin off from Neak’s critically acclaimed/self-produced full-length album, ‘KWESBAAR’ as it entails four new interpretations/remixes from that set plus new track, ‘Nothing To Lose, Inner City Blues’. Released year ago, ‘KWESBAAR’ accumulated over 30,000 streams with the first few weeks of its release. Neak’s lucid delivery gives a hard-hitting account of the trials and retributions of being an African-American male in America which, personally, feel (at times) that Kanye West is taking a shot on the collection.
‘KWESBAAR RMXS’ carries on the same theme of his everyday struggles that’s definitely worth a listen…check it out below…
