~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Whatever the weather we’re in it together

Not just a track. A statement. A revolution against all past pain. A revolution against haters. In Rebel Symphony Orchestra’s “Tomorrow You And I Will Rule The World,” emotionally charged verses, filled with true romantism work together with the melancholic melodic chorus . The instrumental, particularly effective, stands out with its simple, yet impactful, two-chord progression and the creative way the string section works with the atmospheric keys. They gonna rule the world. And they probably know it.

King Co – 3 Hos [ Review]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

King Co drops an absolute festive banger 4 years ago and this is our reminder! The track kicks off with a magnificent, two-bar symphonic sample, instantly pulling the listener into a rich, fairytale atmosphere. But the subsequent spoken word quickly sets a more mature tone—this is a fairytale for adults. The hard-hitting, 808-driven beat works really well with the artist’s deep delivery resulting in an instant classic. That trap dance routine you saw on tiktok and you and needed the right song to nail it? This is your track!

ABSYTE – Aint Nobody (feat. David Givens) [Review]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

ABSYTE’s “Ain’t Nobody” opens with a striking vocal layer that immediately establishes the main melody, which is then beautifully complemented by smooth, live-sounding keys. A distinct melodic chorus provides a strong contrast to the rap verses, and the hi-hat-driven beat expertly ties all these professional production elements together. Lyrically, the song is a heartfelt expression from a woman who realizes that no one loves her quite like her partner does, and she wants to show her gratitude for a lifetime. Ready to hit “send” to your person? This one’s for them.

M1 x Solomane – Free My People

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes flex is cool. Flow switches are even better. Yet, there are moments when we must halt, observe our world, and speak plainly about what truly counts. Certain realities aren’t up for discussion; the right side of history is strikingly evident. This undeniable urgency directly fuels the powerful new single, ‘Free My People’.

In a powerful act of musical activism, M1 of Dead Prez and French-Moroccan rapper Solomane have joined forces with acclaimed artists Sa-Roc, Nejma Nefertiti, and Yasmeen Quintana for this fundraising single. Released via The Rose Production, the track is a direct response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and other global conflict zones.

Born from an hour-long session in Barcelona, the song blends an old-school boom-bap spirit with a raw, resilient message. Each artist, from M1’s prayer for peace to Sa-Roc’s rapid-fire delivery and Quintana’s soulful voice, contributes to a collective call for an end to suffering.

All proceeds benefit Clean Shelter, a non-profit founded by a Palestinian and an Israeli, working to improve sanitary conditions in Gaza. As The Rose Production’s Adrien Rosier states, “Music has always been a voice for unity, and that’s exactly what we stand for.”

This powerful collaboration reminds us that in the shadow of war, “it is invariably the women and children… who pay the highest price.”

Pink Jagg – American Spirit [Review]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Now, this is what we call skill.

Describe your sound in 3 words

Poetic. Desert. Raw.

What inspired the title ‘American Spirit’ and how does it reflect the mood or theme of the track?

It’s the kind of cigs I smoke. It doesn’t feel like this daunting addiction to me. I actually feel like I have a sort of beautiful relationship with it. But it effects everyone around me especially my brother. We live together. Do everything together and he HATES IT. So I feel like “I have to quit. My ma hates it too.

What does hip hop symbolize in your opinion?

It symbolizes so much but to me personally it symbolizes unapologetic expression. My brother grew up very inspired by hiphop culture. I would always find homie on his head in his room or the garage. I’m sure he has a lot to say here. I could also write novels here and float the fuck on forever.

Your most honest and personal lyric?

I would say every lyric is personal but for this song: “If it’s wrapped in white I want all the smoke, that’s the American Spirit”

Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer?

Kendrick. Eminem. My brother. He would probably say Bon Iver or someone like that.

In which state of mind do you imagine people might listen to your music?

I imagine out of curiosity. Or fomo haha.

If the music of Pink Jagg was a film, which film would that be?

Damn. Something that has many details. That all the little details mean something or are intentional. Something poetic. On some Severance type vibe. Interstellar maybe.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Don’t listen to them.

Thank you!

Jay Gudda – Grey Magic [Review]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Jay Gudda, a familiar artist to our readers, is back with “Grey Magic”. The track’s production, characterized by its chilling mid tempo, is driven by it’s cinematic sound where nostalgic keys engage in a constant dialogue with mysterious undertones. Jay Gudda’s flow needs no introduction—it’s one of those distinctive styles you can recognize from miles away. Truly signature. Lyrically, “Grey Magic” draws inspiration from Manly Hall’s book, Magic: A Treatise on Natural Occultism, where Hall defines Grey Magic as “the unconscious or subconscious perversion of power.” To further quote the artist himself, “Don’t explain when it’s understood”. Listen below!

Alexander Paul Burton [Tremolo A Tiempo]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Alexander Paul Burton is distinguished by his masterful use of sweet, emotive keys.

In the track Soirée, warmly detuned electric keys weave a melancholic melodic theme, perfectly paired with a subtle, steady beat in the background. The track is intentionally crafted with a flat, subdued texture, immersing the listener in a contemplative, almost nostalgic mood.

Plymouth highlights the organic timbre of the piano, delivering a more loop-driven aesthetic. Its repetitive structure creates a captivating, almost hypnotic rhythm, drawing the listener deeper into its spell. Once again, the beat takes a backseat, softly underpinning the melancholic atmosphere without overpowering the production.

S’embrasser sur le gui revolves around a jazzy piano theme, exuding romance and elegance. The gentlest of the three pieces, it feels like a vintage soundtrack to a classic film. The soft, lofi beat remains consistent with the mood of the collection, enhancing the dreamy, wistful tone of the composition.

It’s always refreshing to encounter productions in this genre where songwriting takes center stage—songs that their essence would resonate even if played straight from a piano sheet.
