LA-based R&B meets pop artist Darius Martin releases the new single "Some Time". Martin gives you that infectious pop rush with a silky R&B vocal for a sound that does everything. "Some Time" is no different, with lucid beats that ruminate on a romance that's just out of reach and a saccharine chorus that will leave you wanting more. Over island waves of echos and twisted harmonies, Darius Martin will put you under his wanderlust spell with lyrics that muse on longing for someone from a distance. With a verse in Spanish, and lush female vocals at the core of the track, "Some Time" draws in a vast expanse of identity. Overflowing with subconscious desire, "Some Time" brings the hidden truth to the surface. Darius Martin composes his lyrics in a constant pursuit of meaning. He finds inspiration in personal experience and uses it to compliment his body of work. His personal mission is to cover "the good, bad, and in between." Martin has received acclaim from the likes of Earmilk, Allhiphop and more.

King Nova Returns With New EP "Beauty of a Nightmare"
King Nova was always around musically inclined siblings but his vibrant, comical personality had him stumble upon a talent he wasn't aware he possessed while freestyling to a beat just to make his classmates laugh. No stranger to writing though, at the age of 12 Nova was structuring in-depth poetry and was driven by lyrical geniuses like Sheek Louch to inspire him.
The diverse mastermind moved all over Long Island and was introduced to a plethora of different people. Instead of doing just rap why not mix up the recipe and incorporate different styles? That's exactly what King Nova did. From his out-the-box music videos to his catchy flow and mainstream singles, Nova has a lot to offer. Happy vibes and good times is what Nova creates all around and you can feel it through the music.
Pressure makes diamonds, King Nova says he’s always been counted out, but feeling like the underdog only created a lyrical monster on the tracks. “I love when people doubt me because I show them what I'm capable of.” And he always does. With over 30k views organically, which is rare to even be able to say nowadays, Nova has a bright future and over 5 years worth of songs tucked in the stash. From opening up for Benny The Butcher, Nino man and Dave East to performing overseas in Scotland, & Soon to be featured in a documentary for the NHK network in JapanKing Nova is setting the tone for his upcoming projects. #LegendaryNothingLess
Karson Blu is Back With 2 New Singles!
1.) How would you describe your music?
I feel that my sound is unique but my music in general is like anyone else's it touches a certain someone who can relate and know that there's other people out there that are going through similar experiences or transitions in life.
2.) Tell us about your latest releases
My latest releases are "Fwm 2.0" and "Talk To Em" both shot in Atlanta. I honestly had so much fun with both videos and having a camera man who admires your work as much as you admire there's makes it a lot easier to work and create content.
3.) Describe your creative process
I would describe my creative process as organic everything flows naturally when I'm in the studio or just at home in my own space. I'm able to adjust to many environments and I believe that's important when it comes to this industry.
4.) What do you enjoy most about being an artist?
What I enjoy most about being an artist is that I can express myself through my music and not just feel judge or intimidated. When I walk into that booth and I place those headphones over my ears it's like my crown and the mic is my thrown.
5.) What is your main inspiration?
My main inspiration is my mom I feel like if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't be interested in music or even led in that direction but because my mom also rapped and performed, it helped create who I am as an artist so I'm grateful
6.) What musician do you admire most and why?
I admire Glorilla right now because in all my years of being an artist or even interested in the business I've never seen someone get picked up so quickly and elevate on so many levels knocking features down with big mainstream artists right away like Cardi B. She also didn't hesitate to put her parents in new cribs and that right there is boss shit off rip.
7.) Peace to you is...
Peace to me is when my mind isn't wondering in so many places at once, I'm in my element as things are working in my favor and I exhale without it feeling like weights being lifted off my shoulders.
8.) What's next for you in 2023?
What's next is really just bucking down and realizing my potential for real and really pouring my energy blood sweat and tears into my goals so things can finally pick up and move in the path I want it to move.
9.) Where can we find your latest releases?
You can find my latest releases on YouTube Karson Blu search the mfkn E "FWM 2.0" and "Talk To Em" out now on YouTube.
10.) Any last words for the readers?
Keep striving for greatness in life and whatever you wanna do in your life make sure you give it as much as you would like it to give you. Proper preperation prevents poor performance, stay ready so you don't gotta get ready.

ChinaTownRunner x Star2 x $tupid Young - "Static" (Video)
ChinaTownRunner and Star2 each got their start at the very same Mae La refugee camp and have used their stories of persistence to inspire their music. “Static" ft. Star2 and $tupid Young is an explosive personal profile that zeroes in on each rapper's quest for truth in the face of a cold world. An intense set of multi-faceted vocals collide over a cataclysm of dynamic beats, hard hitting bass, and resonant piano to produce the one-of-a-kind sonic atmosphere that fills “Static” to the brim.
Directed by Chico Bennett, the music video for “Static” captures ChinaTownRunner, Star2, and $tupid Young in a wild desert landscape. The desolate atmosphere and grueling influence of nature lends to the deep-cut lyrics at play.
“Static” is only just the beginning of this trio's iconic presence as the three rappers have upcoming shows together in Phoenix and Denver. For ChinaTownRunner and Star2 in particular, “Static” follows the trail of their historic first single together, “Lavish”. ChinaTownRunner finds joy in performing for his people, the Karen, in communities throughout South Dakota and Minnesota and celebrating his core identity.

Kevin Ross - "Don’t Pretend" (Acoustic Version)
Kevin Ross is sweeping the Billboard Radio charts on a record-breaking streak as R&B’s most esteemed artist to watch this year. His latest EP Midnight Microdose Vol. 1 is a sensuous paradise that fully immerses the listener in a kaleidoscope of wonder. Ross' new acoustic version of the EP’s closing track “Don’t Pretend”, premiered exclusively on BET Soul, will leave you reeling with heart-racing emotion.
Kevin Ross’ acoustic take on “Don’t Pretend” was filmed in a dreamy, soft-hued bedroom under the sparkle of a big city skyline. Lit in a violet glow of muted elegance, Kevin Ross stuns his audience with a stripped-down version of his earth-shaking closing track. The acoustic version of “Don’t Pretend” features a saccharine guitar riff that mingles with Kevin Ross’ uncut vocal, creating an ambiance of warmth and an intrinsic feel of acceptance; it’s like you're right there in the room with him. “Don’t Pretend” recalls memories Ross holds sacred and the acoustic version allows Kevin Ross to dive in even deeper.

Vandes Jackson Releases New Single “Masterful Misfit” ft. Dizzy Wright
Vandes Jackson is an independent artist, producer, and native of Chicago, IL. This year he has been making some huge waves in the indie music scene with collaborations with Rick Ross, Sean Kingston, and now he’s returning with a hit single “Masterful Misfit” featuring entrepreneur, and music artist Dizzy Wright.
The song is an ode to the current state of hip hop, and modern day politics within street culture.
Following Dizzy Wright, Vandes leads: Know some trappers, know some preachers too/ we all got the same struggle, pivot off that revenue/ they always end up killing you, places that you never go, places that you never knew/ I been sick of the system I think I got the fucking flu. - Vandes Jackson, “Masterful Misfit”
Vandes had the following to say about working with Dizzy:
“I never wanted to be confined to one specific sound, or genre. I create and move in the direction I’m led and divinely directed to. This record is a step into another lane musically and I’m just blessed to be able to implement some things from some of my greatest influences and MCs that ever touched a mic. Forever grateful for Dizzy Wright and Anno Domini Nation for bridging the gap and allowing me to elevate my craft, and express my genuine sentiments on things happening in our culture. I take absolutely none of this for granted. I’m hoping to put out some exclusive releases later this year by way of Curious Collections Vinyl Records in Bryan, TX. Always working on the next hit, single, or project. Wheels up!”
