Fleming Moore, a native of the Low Country of South Carolina, sings songs seeded in a heart of hope, despair and perseverance. His sound is an authentic Americana Fusion style with roots bearing resemblances to Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Having persevered through many trials and tribulations that nearly ended his life, he’s moved to share his story with the pubic. Early in life, Moore was exposed to the music of Dylan, The Animals and The Rolling Stones. From the age of three, he has been writing songs, beginning by emulating the melodies and lyrics from the records his older brothers would bring into his world.
"Folk Songs For The Apocalypse", his first of a series of three EPs, is an ontology of his own life. It explores the futility of seeking joy through materialism, the inevitability of death and his own struggles with addiction, faith, forgiveness and reconciliation. These heartfelt songs challenge the listener to examine the purpose of their own lives. Fleming says, "Folk Songs is a story about the beginning of a journey that starts out with the ambitious pursuit of material success in Track 1, but ends up leaving you in the ghetto, lost and looking for a way out at the end of track 4."
His 2nd EP, "On The Edge Of America", continues the journey that begins in "Folk Songs". Tracks 1 and 2 take the listener further down the road of despair and futility, but eventually reaches a glimmer of hope in tracks 3 and 4. Moore says, "'Folk Songs' was about the beginning of a journey, where wrong turns lead to despair and brokeness. 'On The Edge Of America' marks a turning point, along that journey."
Look for "Someone's Son", the final EP in the series, to be released on August 31, 2018!
Impacting
with superstar status is production-duo Illuminati Beatz’s latest
single, “Life Is”. It features rap icons, Bun B, Gudda Gudda, and
Project Pat; whom all fuse to create one dirty south bodyslam of a
record. There’s so much Cadillac-worthy crank in the instrumental
alone; which is divided into two halves. Side A follows Bun B, as he
in his grimey, Texan drawl, provides the chorus for the record. An
airy, tension-building synth plays within the foreground of the beat,
lined by traditional, Southern 808 kicks, snares and claps. It’s a
slow, easy listen that will lure you into a sense of tranquility; all
for Gudda Gudda to bounce out of the cut and go in for the kill. This
is where Side B comes into play, and it is a lot more dynamic than
its predecessor. Although, he maintains the same, powerful drum loop,
extra attention is paid to the melody of the beat. An intricate, yet
devilish organ progression torments the buzz of a groovy,
accompanying synth. This change in energy for the beat perfectly
encapsulates Gudda’s own, whose New Orleans delivery comes stern
and trill. Three Six Mafian, Project Pat, has it no differently on
his verse, either. With the instrumental being identical to Gudda,
Pat has no qualms giving us every bit of that dark, Memphis lyricism
and flow we’ve all grown to love. “Life Is” is, without
question, a powerhouse of a record that JByrd, The Sho, and the
entire Dirty South should be proud of. With already 1.7 Million views
to date on Youtube, it is only a matter of time before Billboard
calls their name.
A vast, revolving synth and extremely technological vocoder rise from the unknown, spinning delightfully before giving way to the trot of pulsating drums. Just as a build takes to the groove, and Oakland rapper, Red’s, digital vocals gain some traction, a powerful drop slams through the mix, and we are all formally introduced to the duo of “That’s Wasabi”, and their latest release, “Dangerous Out Here”. The surge of a strong, EDM-friendly bassline, and more danceable production, points to it being much of Los Angeles producer, Marko Dragan Zecevic's, creation; however, it is nonetheless nothing without his partner. Red’s raps reach up from the depths of the record in a blend of barks and growls, frothing with supreme character. His words, at points, are incomprehensible; yet, instead of subtracting from the record, the magic of their mixing adds to the overall allure. In just three minutes and forty-one seconds, the West Coast tag-team create a sonic world of their own. It’s vibrant and aggressive; pristine and nebulous; colorful enough in its melodic palette to excite any rave its played for, and yet dark enough in its vocals to suit the night that surrounds. Very much so, “Dangerous Out Here” is a club record, poised to lunge any electronic crowd’s hands into the air, and feet into a jump. It is the quintessential track for your late-summer mix; and anyone looking to spice up their sets with new, enticing EDM gems should keep an eye on “That’s Wasabi” for all future releases. They will not disappoint.
(Toronto, ON): Today marks the much anticipated industry-wide release of Notifi's "Won't Get Lonely" video which just premiered on Noisey. The Toronto-based rapper, producer and crooner introduces his crisp beats, blitzed-out production, and unique view on life with his debut video directed by Zac Facts(Tory Lanez, Future, 88 Glam, Sean Leon). The vivid, stimulating and romantic images create a densely textured visual palette that blends seamlessly with the songs infectious blend of rap, dark pop and R&B.
Alongside his manager and executive producer, globetrotting DJ Charlie B, the Montreal-born Notifi who grew up in the Scarborough area of Toronto, is looking to help bring his Farewell crew - a brand and upcoming label which represents the idea of ascension - to a better place. The 24-year-old is currently working on his debut EP, set for release in Fall 2018.
Toronto's JNYR represents one of the brightest emerging prospects out of a burgeoning R&B scene that already includes heavyweights such as The Weeknd and Tory Lanez. Having released only three singles to-date, JNYR showcases a raw, youthful energy with the class and elegance of yesterday's legends.
Today, JNYR releases his debut EP, Transition. The eight track project includes breezy romantic jams such as "Great Sensation" and sultry bedroom grooves like "Close." A cohesive, 8-track effort, Transition is a powerful opening moment for the youngster, whose trajectory is promising. Lead single "Twenty Ten" has already amassed over one million streams on Spotify, bringing JNYR to over 2.7 million combined streams on the platform with his first three releases.
With a brilliant blend of melodic R&B and hardcore trap comes North Carolinian artist, Benjamin Ken. Loaded with fourteen, versatile tracks, is his recent, astronomical endeavor, “BEN 2 REAL”. When it comes down to it, there is a distinct dichotomy that spans the entirety of the project. On one hand lies the gentle, melodious side of the Atlanta-based artist, that bleeds out on records such as “INTRO (HERE FOR YOU)”, “PRETTY GIRL VIBES”, “REAL ONE (ft. Lea Robinson)”, “DRUNK TEXT”, and “LIFELINE”, among others. In the shadow of that hand, lies Ken’s darker half, molded by those Southern streets. That treacherous, trunk-thumping sound can be found in cuts such as “ROOFTOPS”, “2 Real”, “GUCCI (ft. Walt)”, “CELEBRATION” and “CRAZZI”.
What Ken demonstrates through
this duality, is the powerful dexterity of his songwriting. He proves
proficient in crafting slow-burning, alt-R&B records for the
ladies; while, likewise, giving fellas a list of bangers to ride to.
The only other we’ve ever known as skilled with this separation of
sound, hails from Toronto, and has been dominating the charts for the
past ten years, hit after hit. The moment “BEN 2 REAL”, in all of
its impressive versatility, hits the mainstream, Benjamin Ken could
be following in those same, exact footsteps. Click the link, and see
for yourself.
Slick
and sultry is Australia’s own, JVNIOR AMOUX’s, twilight opus,
“Morning”. The moment you press play, you are greeted by a warm,
pitch-altered sample of R&B group, Blackstreet’s 1996 classic,
“Good Lovin’” (from their second project, “Another Level).
“We can do it ‘til the — morning / Good lovin’ in the
evening.” the sample croons seductively, before being utterly
overtaken by AMOUX’s own velvety vocalization. Wrapped in the warm
embrace of milky bassline and rich groove of drums, the Sydney singer
flexes his penchant for songwriting, caroling melodiously with
autotuned allure. He certainly knows how to craft a record; diving
into memorable bridges and runs throughout his verses. That talent
reaches its zenith on this record, when the songbird enters the
chorus, embellishing every second of the hook with angelic
harmonization and clever interpolations of Blackstreet’s original
lyrics. “Morning”, by all accounts, is a mood-setter; fit for
that late night, at-home date, and its steamy morning-after. With
cuts like these under his belt, JVNIOR AMOUX is peerless as
Australia’s PR&B prodigy.

“Even God fears me...” ring loud and clear within the intro of Decatur duo, Boss Mayne Trill & Juney’s, summer offering, “Eastside Story”. The EP comes packed with six melodic, modern-trap bangers, in perfect allusion to their homeland of Zone 6. Comparing them to Outkast, the legendary ATLien duo before them, is made quite effortless on this album; highlighted by the specific specialties and roles each artist seems to bring to the table. By the sound of it, Boss Mayne Trill fashions most of the project’s hooks, displaying a superior control over autotune and melody (this talent exploding on tracks such as “Aaliyah”, “No Guidance”, “Nah Fr”, and “Outside”). “Outside” and “Aaliyah” happen to be two personal favorites; the former for its contagious, rhythmic cadence throughout the hook and the latter for its R&B-esque qualities. Although, both artists bring phenomenal bars and stories tobthe table, you know when Juney hits the mic, he’s there to rap. He spits with an ATLien aggression, tearing through every record with rawness and reality. The only effort exempt from this unaltered quality, is fourth track “Mlk”. Here, Juney proves he is just as formidable with melody as he is without, delivering a victorious, trap ballad. “Eastside Story” is the coronation of a talented, tag-team of rappers destined to be the next dynamic duo of Georgia. No matter how long the list of Zone 6 legends may be, Boss Mayne Trill & Juney will assuredly live up to them.

Started in a group named L and Samp, teamed up with now popular DJ in the Quad Cities, L Murray.

Samp kept working and doing shows in small town clubs to build his up on the growing social media outlet Myspace.

Carried
by a bubbly, rapturous melody and gentle sequence of 808s and claps,
Missouri artist, L’ové, details every aspect of the life she dreams
to have on her summer single, “Live Like”. In contrast to her
light percussion and colorful melody, there is a rapid-fire hihat
roll dashing throughout the mix, embodying her intense determination
to achieve every goal aforementioned. “I’m trying to live like,
life is a good life / life is a good wife—“ she raps through a
glaze of ambitious autotune, backed by excited adlibs and heavenly
background harmonies. Zero worries; financial security; and good
trees to blow on, are just a few goals she mentions on this
slow-burning banger. L’ové raps with the melodious, watery flow and
candid depth of a wishing-well; and if this “Live Like” single is
her quarter, those wishes aren’t far from being granted. For,
throughout this opus she demonstrates an excellent talent for song
structure. Her choruses blend perfectly into her verses, and her
verses flow flawlessly into each and every bridge.
Although, this
joint is ideal for those hyped car rides to your desired party or
venue, there is a recurring “Turning your vision to facts” line
she spits, in a brilliant display of modern-trap songwriting, that
would spread like a wildfire once you get there. “Live Like” is
one of those rare, hybrid cuts that is just as easily fit for a
massive occasion as it is for a lone session. No matter where you
are, or who you’re in the company of, press play and watch the
world fall in love with L’ové.
“Timeless / Man, I swear this s**t timeless.” is uttered poignantly at the beginning of Texas emcee, D.Hewitt’s, 2018 cut “Timeless”. By the end of his three minutes and forty-seven seconds on the mic, he leaves us more than inclined to agree. There’s a triumphant, ambient pad that fulfills most of the melody, backed by a solemn bassline, trap drums, and Hewitt’s own candid lyricism. The atmosphere our Hillsboro hero manifests on the record is reflected perfectly throughout its visual, where Hewitt is featured in an all white room, accompanied by one lone microphone. Just as the day he walked into the studio and laid these verses, he proves in this music video that a microphone is all he needs to send a powerful message and create grandiose impact. “Timeless” is raw and honest in its lyricism, as well as delivery; wherein, the Lonestar rapper spits his personal journey and grown perspective on this thing we call life. It can likewise be viewed as an homage to all those he’s crossed paths with, as there is a moment near 1:10 where he name-drops a handful of individuals who’ve given him invaluable guidance. Hewitt embodies the pure essence of Texas on this track; coming across as the epitome of trill. He mentions his personal battles with suicide, betrayal, and betterance; refusing to distract any of us with metaphors of punchlines. He knows his message and life story are enough. Hewitt could not have titled this record any better. After it’s all said and done, and the Texan steps away emotionally from that lone microphone in the white room, he’s left us with something “Timeless” to honor.
