Pushing The Boundaries.
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
Favourite Rapper right now has to be Slowthai. That man is seriously on a whole other level! Even though he’s only dropped one official album at this point I can feel the levels of evolution & introspection going on and I honestly live for that shit.
Favourite Lyricist right now has to be Shogun. The way he attacks a beat with his own unique approach will be remembered for years to come, especially up here in Scotland. Props to him for all he’s doing for the Scottish scene right now too. It’s been a blessings being a part of it & I look forward to the future endeavours with Sho.
Favourite Producer is Moby. These where all really tough to just pick one for each but I feel like Moby’s been there since the very start of my love for music & even still too this day his album releases never fail to leave me in awe. It’s honestly probably where my love for making full length albums rather than singles came from & his music also pushed me more in the direction of trying to portray some sort of emotion or deep routed message rather than just go with whatever’s currently poppin’ – so I’m forever in debt to Moby for that reason & many more.
Best Hip Hop album ever
Again, It’s hard to choose the best hip-hop album of all time really but for me personally the one I’m most attached to on a spiritual level would have to be ‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G – The whole album is just complete raw realness to it’s core right from the get go & I love that. All the beats are legendary, the hooks are timeless, all the menacing bars & flows throughout just take me to another realm and have done since a young age. I always looked up to the rappers like Pac, BIG & any other rapper coming with something uniquely theirs & real.
Top Hidden Gem Artist
Honestly any hidden gem Artists I come across I take down the names & add them to the bucket-list of talented artists I would love to work with in near the future and in recent times I’ve been fortunate enough to mark off some of them names.
I would say a definite Hidden Gem Artist to watch would be MONROE (MONRO£ on Spotify) from Telford, England (UK). Bubbling up a lot of hype round his ends & for good reason, he comes with it every time and his bars & melodies just seem to be getting better & better. 100% someone to watch in the UK scene and I look forward to sharing some of the music We’ve got coming.
Future plans
As far as the future goes, I’m not entirely sure even where to start. Basically I have an Album I’ve been working on all year & In the process of getting this as good as it deserves to be I’ve ended up with way more music than I can even release.
So for now let’s just keep it one big exciting moment in time then we’ll focus on what’s next when it gets here.
In my mind it’s the Biggest album coming out of Scotland in 2020 so I genuinely cannot wait too share it with you guys, then move forward onto the next one like it’s nothing.
Plenty more to come that’s for sure – I just need to Stay Ready & Trust the process.
My name is David Jordan Larkins. A lot of my friends call me Davi Jordan, and musically, I go by Blaze Trackz. I am a hip hop artist, composer, producer and engineer. I was raised in Newburgh, NY (a suburb outside of NYC), and currently reside in North Hollywood, California. I have had a hell of a life, and could talk about it for hours. Some good, some bad, but it has all helped me to find myself, and a path of living and thinking that I endorse and try to spread through the music I do. I consider the music that I do as “Virtue Rap”- a style that pushes forth support of fellow man, mutual respect, and a sense of responsibility in the community and household. Also, it has a turn toward fiscal awareness and responsibility. A brief of my life with highlights is that I dealt heavily in illegal activities at one point, have been married and divorced, have been homeless for a set of time, achieved a bachelor’s degree from a major university, and have found the Lord Jesus Christ and love in my current relationship with my fiance, Whitney. Wow. Listing that off was a journey for me in itself. Nonetheless, a lot has happened and I’m proud to say that it has helped me grow as a man. I try to push the idea of love and growth in my music.
Describe your sound in 3 words
Three words to describe my sound are altruistic, poetic, and analytical.
Altruistic because, at the core of the music I do, I do put forward care about how I can affect those who listen to my music. Lyrically, I enter the songwriting process asking questions of who my audience is, what their needs are, and how I can relate. Music is a conversation, so without a 2 way street, there isn’t much connection.
Poetic because I love words. Finding the right ones to express the right thing, in the most concise manner. Sometimes I can be long-winded, so maybe cogency is not the strong point for me, but my aim is to cut through. Metaphors that nurture relatability are important for me.
Analytical because I am a producer and composer, too. I enter the engineering side of things thinking about tempo, tone, and mood so I can give my fans the best experience possible when listening. I have an upcoming record, FAITH. “Gang Gang” is a cut off of that project. I hope listeners can hear the story that I am trying to tell and how I intertwine the music together to try by best to draw on big picture.
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
Favorites are difficult, because art is so subjective. When naming a favorite, what can I base things on? As a rapper, if I base it off of passion, Tupac Shukar. but if I base it off of overall longevity and success, Jay-Z. Last, if I base it off of lyricism, I’d have to go with J. Cole. But there are so many great artists out there, I could go on for days on my influences and why each one is amazing. My favorite producer is Timbaland. He has always broken the mold, and I am very influenced by his sound when I produce.
Best Hip Hop album ever
For me, the best Hip Hop album ever is “Get Rich Or Die Trying”, by 50 Cent. The cohesivity of that project is breathtaking.
Top Hidden Gem Artist
One artist I love to listen to, a newer artist, is Reason off of the TDE imprint. That would be a Hidden Gem Artist, for sure. Lyrically, he’s dope. If you haven’t taken a listen, I would recommend,100%. That’s for rap. As a producer, and for any composers out there, if you make beats or sample or anything, listen to Labi Saffre, Donny Hathaway, and anything under the Jazz music genre. I promise it will add to your sound immensely.
Future plans
After releasing the “Gang Gang” record (dropping 11/1/20), which is sort of a commentary on the socioeconomic environment we live in today, I am planning on releasing my new record, “FAITH: For Anyone Interested To Hear”. Working through this now, but most of it is done. “FAITH” is around 14 tracks, not sure if it will stay that way, but it is fully produced, written and recorded by me. This project is and speaks to a slew of topics including personal relationships and how to navigate through insecurity and grow. It also speaks to my actual faith in Christianity, values as a man, and transformation into a more mature mindset. The content I would say is a bit conscious, but this is not a traditionally conscious rap record as the composition and feel is more mainstream.
I hope that following the entire COVID pandemic, when that is all over, I can get in some solid performances. I just really want my music to reach as many people as possible, so that is the goal. Pushing hard on connecting with my people via social media in the meantime, IG, Twitter, TikTok, all of it. Just trying to continue to connect and help others through their lives with my art.
My name is Darcy (Trevor Wayne) Driscoll, I got addicted to music by listening to bands like Metallica,Slayer,Sex Pistols, Guns & Roses.I eventually started a band in Year 8 at school (2012) on lead Guitar Playing assembly Gigs to peforming at the local theater in my town. I got into producing hip hop as soon as i found out you could get a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) in 2017, I was blown away by how the music technology has advanced so you could make music at home and get the same sound as world class producers.

Hype,Punchy,Raw
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
My favorite rapper would have to be Kendrick Lamar,with he’s unique sound, crazy flow changes and deep lyrics. Favorite lyricist is Royce da 5″9. He’s insane writing Dr.Dre’s the Message when he was only 19. Favorite producer Alchemist. Loved his work on Schoolboy Q’s Blank Face Lp.
Best hip hop album ever Wu-Tangs “36th Chambers”
Top Hidden Gem ArtistMy top Hidden Gem Artist is an Aussie rapper “2eaz” he’s an underdog in the game having only a few songs in his catalog but his flow and wordplay is on another level.

Hey everyone, my name is Loby, I am an Alternative R&B and Hip-Hop artist that is practicing and improving my craft everyday. Loby is not just me as a person, but more of a movement about my, and the listeners emotions. My goal is to allow listeners to enjoy a sound that they might not have ever heard of while also relating to it on a deeper scale.
Describe your sound in 3 words
I think three words that describe my sound are ambient, smooth, and sensual but taking those words into account, I still use sounds that respect the classics in both R&B and Hip-Hop genres.
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
Although my sound is not like his, my favorite rapper is definitely Kendrick Lamar, G.K.M.C changed my perspective on creating music as a whole, as not only are the lyrics and sound amazing, but the story is so amazing displayed that it made me reevaluate everything. My favorite lyricist is André 3000. He was most definitely ahead of his time as you knew whether it was with Outkast or as a feature, he always does and still can deliver. My favorite producer is Illangelo as his work on The Weeknd’s early projects most definitely influence my sound.
Best Hip Hop album ever
In my opinion, as mentioned above my favorite Hip-Hop/Rap album is good kid, m.A.A.d. city. Just everything about it is so game changing, I still can’t believe Kendrick got snubbed at the Grammys. He was robbed.
Top Hidden Gem Artist
The top hidden gem artist that I am listening to is this artist named Brakence. This guy is crazy talented and could do it all. He is more of an alternative/indie artist but his voice and flow is absolutely ridiculous. Just listen to his songs ‘sauceintherough’ and ‘dropout’ and you’ll instantly become a fan.
Future plans
My future plans are just to continue dropping more music with also my first music video coming soon and a potential face reveal soon. I have plenty more in store and I am more than excited to show you all 🙂
My name is Jay Gudda. I hail from New England. Listen!
Describe your sound in 3 words
I DO ME!
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
My favorite rapper and lyricist has always been Lil Wayne. There are so many great producers that it’s hard to choose just one. If I had to answer, I’d say my favorite producer is Kanye West.
Best Hip Hop album ever
I can’t speak for anyone else, but my personal favorite album is still Tha Carter from 2004.

Hello we’re ‘Soundaze’, an alternative experimental hip hop band based in Los Angeles California. Made up of three members, two vocalists (Daywu Xin and Love, Pax) and a producer (Redbeard). From Los Angeles to Toronto. We consistently collaborate with a flurry of artists in our creative family/network too. A wide net family of visual artists, musicians, designers and directors that we hold close.

Eclectic, Emotive, Vibey
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
Love, Pax:
My favorite rapper of all time is Murs. I love the way he’s able to weave such incredible storytelling into his verses, like a paintbrush on canvas, you can really “see” what he’s saying on the song. My favorite lyricist has gotta be DayWu though. One of the main reasons I wanted to start writing songs with him. And you can probably guess my personal favorite producer based on that too – Redbeard. I really like Greaf as a producer though as well.
Redbeard:
Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer
-Gotta say Murs as well, grew up listening to him with pax. Rip mac miller as well. Lots of producers come to mind, but jake one has gotta be one of my favorites.
DayWu Xin:
So many favorite mc’s but my go to answer is Nas. The elegance and brilliance in his rhyme schemes and his profound sense of clarity on the world’s issues. That mastery of social psychology is something that I strive to present in my work. Lyrically gotta throw love back at Love, Pax. There’s an education, cleverness and intelligence in his words that conjures up some serious original ideas. My list can go on but we only have so much time. Producer I love Kaytranada. Fellow Canadian but masterful in his range and I simply just get inspired by his instrumentation. Part of why I got back into music.
Best Hip Hop album ever
Love, Pax:
This is obviously one of the hardest questions ever to even attempt to answer, and truthfully I don’t have a favorite. I don’t want to cop out though so I’m gonna go with “The Infamous” by Mobb Deep. It was the first album that I learned the lyrics to front to back.
Redbeard:
Tough to choose, gonna go with stankonia by Outkast. The black album by Jay Z was one of the first albums my mom ever bought me so that ones high on my list.
DayWu Xin:
Favorite hip hop album is Illmatic by Nas
Top Hidden Gem Artist
Love, Pax: Right now that’s between two female MC’s that I really love, Wynne and Biig Piig
Redbeard: Soundaze I think his name is, check that guy out.
Daywu Xin: There’s a mellow rock band based in Autralia called MTNS and they make great chill music. And those guys over at Soundaze are putting their hearts into some of the best music out there.
Future plans
We are dropping a 16 track project called ‘Love, Vote & Mutiny’ at the end of the month. Videos are also dropping. We plan to keep getting our music out there. A couple of us dabble in film and television too and we’ve got some exciting new movies and tv show appearances coming out.
