Ace Louie- “Way Up (feat. Junior)”

The ever so suspenseful instrumental on “Way Up (feat. Junior) is met with viscous flows and lyrics laid down by none other than Ace Louie. The MC from Saint Louis is no stranger to putting beats in body bags but “Way Up” brings a certain energy that is better expressed through sprints and bench presses rather than words. The guest Junior has also been featured alongside acts such as Cardi B and Trey Songz so you already know he’s coming correct. “Way Up” is just 1/3rd of Ace Louie’s three piece EP titled “Still Here.” So if I’ve sold you thus far, then perhaps you should consider the rest of his collection.

Keni can Fly – “99’ pollen”

From the initial blissful chirping of birds to the final laughter laced with distortion, “99’ pollen” is the new cool thing; and everyone’s trying it. Keni can Fly is no stranger to the creation of bangers that offer more than a measly head-bob. I’m talking about flows so nasty that if you don’t make a stank face then you may be eligible for a fresh new pair of hearing aids. It’s incredible how the production over the instrumental is connected to Keni can Fly’s every word like a puppet on a string. To put a cherry of legitimacy on top “99’ pollen” comes with a music video to max out its professionalism; leaving you with nothing left to critique and everything to appreciate.

The Goodwill Projects – “A Love Called Soul Power (Remix by The Goodwill Projects)”

Coming from the west coast of Oxnard California, The Goodwill Projects have touched down with “A Love Called Soul Power (Remix By The Goodwill Projects).” The remix is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. If spoken word and funkadelic had a child it would be “A Love Called Soulpower.” What makes The Goodwill Projects truly refreshing is the charisma and confidence within their outlandish storytelling and delivery over an instrumental that naturally makes you sway. What are you waiting for? Join The Goodwill Projects on their journey for “A Love Called Soul Power.” Check out “A Love Called Soul Power (Remix by The Goodwill Projects)” on Bandcamp  Milorgia – And So The Flies Don’t Come To Georgia by The Goodwill Projects

Chronicle – “Modern Goodbyes (Bestie)”

A new voice from Tulsa, Oklahoma has emerged to bring you peace in all of your “Modern Goodbyes.” Said voice is sung by none other than Chronicle who provided us the slow song of the summer with angelic vocals that slide down the instrumental like honey. The production over the track sounds something like Toy Story met up with Tyler the Creator and they made a classic soundtrack. “Modern Goodbyes” is smooth yet heavy hitting on all aspects from the instrumental, the vox, the lyrics down to the delivery of the concept itself. “Modern Goodbyes” is a song you play after letting go of someone you love for their sake over yours. It’s evident that Chronicle speaks directly from the heart with full sincerity and obligation to his own vision, and that’s what makes him authentic. Stream it on Apple Music & Spotify

Bindy – “Bathtub”

New York-based act Bindy slunk into our inbox with the haunting slow burn of their latest single, “Bathtub.” The song is a metaphorical look at being in a funk, carried by singer Francesca “Bindy” Craft’s aloof-but-applicable vocal styling, matched perfectly with the intricate-but-tasteful guitar and bass that slither in a coiled-up way, like a snake that’s been fully charmed. The song explores things we turn to in times of discomfort, like the warm hug of a bathtub; they eventually become a crutch that’s far too difficult to walk away from. Do you brave the pruney hands and freezing cold air? Or is it easier to just stay in the lukewarm water? Check “Bathtub” out via Soundcloud below – you can also find it on Spotify. Bindy · Bathtub

Lil Seyi – “AC Press”

Kitsune Musique knew what they were doing when they picked up the percolating Lil Seyi. An artist/producer from Maryland, ready to take what’s rightfully his, with the scintillating “AC Press.” The young artist routinely slides out of your speakers and into your playlist with ease. The latest track comes with an incredibly professional and conceptual video that features a wild ride in a red Tesla! I think “AC Press” is just the beginning of something much bigger, as Lil Seyi is gearing up to drop another video sometime in the very near future. Until then… Stream it on SoundCloud & Spotify  Watch the video for “AC Press” on YouTube 

Andrxw – “Bottom of the Top”

If you’re looking for some rare vibrations that have yet to be discovered (until now), look no further than “Bottom of the Top” by Andrxw. The producer/singer-songwriter/wizard had the help of his friend Spectrxm in putting together his latest project, Sonics 2070. Such a title alludes to the idea that Andrxw and his fellow collaborative producer have an idea of what music should sound like about fifty years from now, and after hearing what they had to say; I agree. The vocals on “Bottom of the Top” pour like water out of Andrxw’s mouth, giving off tones of internal rebellion and setting oneself free once and for all. Enjoy “Bottom” on both Apple Music & Spotify.

Stay Nice & Joe Jackson – “Face The Music”

Somewhere on the other side of the world in Australia, producer Stay Nice teamed up with singer/songwriter Joe Jackson to bring us a hot-cup-of-coffee blend of house hip-hop. With flows coming at you with calculated elegance, “Face The Music” is a perfect jingle to take a deep breath and two-step it off. Featured artist Joe Jackson made a more-than-promising debut with such a soothing voice harmonizing over the hook, along with captivating content throughout the verses… All of which are of course laid down atop an instrumental that sounds smoother than creamy peanut butter. Stream it on SoundCloud & Spotify

Daydream Masi – “Thank God We’re Children”

Daydream Masi is a proud host of the vibes on his track, “Thank God We’re Children” and he was nice enough to share them with us. The angelic tune serves as the perfect outro to Masi’s latest project, The Perfect Touch Of Darkness, which just dropped on June 3rd via L1NEUP Records. Both Daydream Masi’s main and backing vocals are engineered to perfection with just the right amount of reverb to send you on a journey through your ears. As the prominent act has already been featured on the 13 Reasons Why soundtrack, “Thank God We’re Children” is sure to reach far and wide. Enjoy “God” via SoundCloud & Spotify. daydream Masi · Thank God We’re Children

Tion – “Up Forever”

You can literally hear the hunger in Tion’s voice on his latest track, “Up Forever.” The rapper from Denver, CO rips apart the groovy bass-boosted beat with a flow that oozes confidence in the bars being pushed through it. Tion marks the track’s fate from the first line, “B***h I smell the win, let’s get settled in” and seals it with “I told my mama we in good hands like we got State Farm.” There is also a music video with a release date to be determined but until then… Stream “Up Forever” on Apple Music & Spotify

Agat – “Wait For Me”

Coming from Tel-Aviv, Israel, the act known as Agat has reached the other side of the world with an absolute banger by the name of “Wait For Me.” This outlandish anthem blows through your speakers with a breath of fresh air. “Wait For Me” features the prominent Zelooperz who comes in on pinpoint cue to lay down a lackadaisical verse that brings balance between his and Agat’s frequency. The energy Agat emits is kinetic in a very head-thrashing type of way. “Wait For Me” also features an animated music video created by Dean Naim that is so random that it makes sense. Check it out on both SoundCloud & Spotify Watch the animated music video for “Wait For Me” on YouTube too. AGAT · Wait For Me (feat. Zelooperz)

youproblem – “Drunk”

We’ve all been there, but Australian act youproblem has found a way to put it into a perfect pop song… “Drunk” is an anthem to the destructive behavior that happens after a few many tequilas (and a bit of self-loathing). In a nod to their personal experiences with Australian drinking culture, they’ve paired dark and self-depreciative lyrics with an otherwise sugar-sweet indie-pop backbone, heavy with the weight of an undeniable bassline and a woozy synth presence. You can also find youproblem on Spotify. youproblem · Drunk

Noshows – “Wait It Out”

NY’s Noshows has found the perfect way to cope with their anxiety on their latest offering, “Wait It Out.” Upon first listen, you might notice the dreamy guitar tones and slackeresque vocal delivery, but deeper down, you’ll notice that “Wait” is actually a tightly-wound track. Big, springy drums help push this one past dream-pop and into a bit more of an urgent space… But the tasty juxtaposition of taking-it-easy versus an undercurrent of anxiousness is what really takes this one to the next level. Noshows is also on Spotify and Apple Music.

Palomino – “Strestaurant”

Wauchope-based trio Palomino get raucous and rowdy on their latest indie-punk offering, “Strestaurant.” With meandering basslines, spiraling guitar riffs, and gruff-but-melodic vocal melodies, the three-piece brings to mind acts like PUP, Hollerado, or The Menzingers. Created 100% at home, the band’s sincere delivery isn’t undercut by any sort of DIY-production value (it sounds pretty perfect actually, well done Palomino!) – this one will sit nicely on any playlist that gets your blood pumping. You can also find “Strestaurant” on Spotify.

elison – “Covered Me”

Des Moines-based duo elison caught our ears with their recently-released single, “Covered Me.” The shoegaze-meets-indie-rock-meets-dream-pop tune is full of tasty guitar tones, a hazy vocal presence, and an impending sense of urgency that inspires feelings of longing and bittersweet realizations. About the song, the duo says: “‘Covered Me’ is about coming to the realization that, while in a relationship with a narcissist, you don’t really know the person you’re with. That person’s desire to be in the spotlight eclipses all else, even has you questioning yourself.” You can find elison on Spotify as well. elison · Covered Me
