Asian hip-hop / pop artist Star2 just dropped his new album Lessons, a powerful new project written as a personal letter to his younger self. A Thai refugee and a driving force in the Ka-ren music community, this collection of tracks rings with an international heartbeat. The album features a dynamic lineup of collaborators including Eh La, Lil BK, heartbreaka, Shadow, RayRay, Lian2x, and more. Each voice brings a new emotional layer - from smooth melodies to street grit to culturally rich textures - making the project both deeply personal and globally resonant.
Lessons is about transforming the chaos, heartbreak, and temptations of his teenage years into a blueprint for growth, focus, and self-love. Across the project, he confronts past mistakes with raw honesty and hard-earned confidence, inviting listeners into a journey from distraction to purpose, from instant highs to long-term vision. The standout focus track, “Ohhhh!” with Lil BK, pairs hypnotic production and cinematic visuals with a message that shines through the flex: success and luxury mean nothing without real love and the people who truly stay by your side. Star2 confides, “As you get older you learn to focus and prioritize and to sacrifice. You learn to love yourself first and stop chasing love and stop chasing people who are not for you. I would tell my younger self, ‘Never give up on your dreams. Stop chasing: love, people, quick money. Instead, chase your dreams and your best life.’ Finally, love is a process. Sometimes we have to move on. Sometimes love comes later. Life teaches us to be patient. Which is possibly the biggest lesson of all.”
Star2’s story is one of survival and triumph. After the Burmese Army destroyed his village, he and his grandmother came to San Diego through a lottery, confronting extreme poverty while starting over. Music became his anchor, a way to channel grief into purpose. Today, that resilience has led to collaborations with Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso, and more than 15 million views on TikTok.

Fresh off his hit track "I Want Her" featuring Kalan.FrFr and opening gigs for artists like Trippie Redd and Chris Brown, rapper HoodTrophy Bino unveils his new single and video "No Way."
"No Way” cuts straight to the heart for an unflinching dedication to loyalty and brotherhood. The entire song pivots on one gut-punch scenario: “Sign this deal you rich for life… but you gotta slime your brother out tonight.” The refusal hook, "No way, no way,” lands like a vow. Over a haunting, minor-key beat with bells that ring like funeral chimes and 808s that crawl with temptation, subtle street ambience (cars rushing past, scattered block voices) pulls the listener deep into Bino’s world - one forged by survival, shared struggle, and unbreakable bonds.
"No Way" is from Bino's upcoming album The Invasion set to drop next month. He will perform on Big Sad 1900's tour starting at the end of November. Keep up with HoodTrophy Bino HERE

Anchored by the heartfelt refrain “All I need is love for Christmas,” Ross delivers a timeless performance that feels as intimate as a fireside embrace and as grand as a holiday stage.

“This song is really about love being the greatest gift of all,” says Kevin Ross. “No matter where you are or who you’re with, the heart of the holidays is connection. ‘This Winter’ is my way of wrapping that feeling in melody and soul. It’s the kind of record I hope people return to year after year.”

3x Grammy-winning songwriter / producer Deezle just released his highly anticipated single, “My Hands on Your Body“. His latest release delivers everything great R&B should, like vocals that shift seamlessly from tender whispers to full-bodied power, lyrics that capture magnetic chemistry (“With your hands in mine / Let your body go / Let the feeling take control”), and a hook so catchy it demands repeat plays. Deezle confides, “I was inspired to create ‘My Hands On Your Body’ during an intimate moment with someone I was giving a massage to after she had a hard day at work and as my hands rubbed her legs and butt she went ‘ahhhhhhh’.” Here’s an artist who’s already proven himself behind the scenes with Grammy recognition, now ready to claim his space as R&B’s next breakout star. The track perfectly captures that sweet spot between playful and seductive. It’s music that moves both body and soul.
Deezle, born and raised in New Orleans, is an acclaimed producer and R&B artist who has worked with acclaimed artists such as Drake, J-Lo, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown to name a few. He co-produced Lil Wayne’s hit single “Lollipop,” has since expanded his career with numerous collaborations and contributions across the music industry.

When Bino steps in, his delivery is sharp, honest, and unfiltered, showcasing the emotional depth beneath his signature grit.
Bino has always carried a tough exterior, shaped by a life surrounded by violence, instability, and the pressures of gang culture. But here, he opens up. We see his vulnerability in lines like, “I glance around like I don’t care / Sometimes I don’t wanna be here,” revealing his battles that exist beneath the surface. The contrast is striking, strength on the outside, turmoil within.”Wish Everybody Well” shows a message of emotional evolution. Instead of feeding into drama or resentment, Bino chooses a higher path: wishing good on others. He acknowledges that life is fragile, and staying positive is both an act of resilience and self-preservation.
Bino’s upcoming album, The Invasion, is set to drop later this month. His songs can be heard on stations across the nation including SiriusXM The Heat, Power 106, 96.1 The Beat, and Power 105, and events like SneakerCon, Big 3, LA Clippers games, Rams games and more.
“I’m not here because I’m the best, I’m here because they tried to break me and they couldn’t.”
From gang life to global stages, Hoodtrophy Bino’s story is one of transformation. After meeting Soulja Boy in jail and joining S.O.D.M.G., he’s turned his pain into power—touring the country and sharing his path through the acclaimed documentary Breaking the Generational Curse.
Bino’s recent performances include a tour with Soulja Boy, a performance alongside Soulja at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, opening for Trippie Redd at the Ontario Toyota Arena in Los Angeles and for Chris Brown in Las Vegas. Breakout single “I Want Her” with Kalan.FrFr earned national airplay on stations such as SiriusXM The Heat, Power 106, 96.1 The Beat, Power 105 NY, and major platforms like SneakerCon, the LA Clippers, and the Rams. His latest full-length album, CBFW features guest appearances from Lefty Gunplay, NoCap, and more.

Embracing the Hustle: Cashtank’s Rise from the Streets
In a world where success is often measured by material wealth and outward appearances, Cashtank’s journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, authenticity, and unwavering faith. As the opening lines of his track “Cashtank – Reglo” reveal, this artist has faced his fair share of challenges, navigating the harsh realities of life on the streets and the temptation to take the “easy” path.
Yet, Cashtank’s story is not one of defeat, but of triumph. He could have “gone legit,” as he so eloquently puts it, but he chose to stay true to himself and his roots, grinding tirelessly to make his dreams a reality. This decision, while not without its struggles, has forged a resilience and self-assurance that shines through in his music and his message.
Throughout the lyrics of “Cashtank – Reglo,” Cashtank lays bare the raw realities of his journey, painting a vivid picture of the challenges he has faced and the lessons he has learned along the way. From the financial strain of “get[ting] a third shift check but got to wait till next week” to the emotional toll of “trying to live like the Jones,” Cashtank’s words resonate with an authenticity that is both humbling and inspiring.
One of the most poignant moments in the track comes when Cashtank reflects on the weight of his own pride, acknowledging that it had prevented him from “writ[ing] [his] wrongs” and accepting help from others. This moment of self-reflection speaks to the depth of Cashtank’s character, as he grapples with the complexities of his past and the lessons he has had to learn the hard way.
The Power of Faith and Perseverance
Despite the obstacles he has faced, Cashtank’s unwavering faith and determination shine through in his music. As he raps, “I got the faith all in my chest. Not just rapping all these songs,” it becomes clear that his journey is about more than just chasing success or fame. It is a testament to the transformative power of belief, both in oneself and in a higher purpose.
Cashtank’s refrain of “I ain’t legit yet” further underscores this idea, as he acknowledges that his journey is ongoing, a constant battle against the demons that have threatened to derail him. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he remains steadfast, driven by an unshakable determination to prove his worth and make his mark on the world.
The Importance of Authenticity and Staying True to Oneself
One of the most striking aspects of Cashtank’s story is his unwavering commitment to authenticity. As he declares, “Me tried to make another me, but I ain’t a clone,” it becomes clear that he has no interest in conforming to the expectations or standards of others. Instead, he has chosen to forge his own path, embracing the unique qualities and experiences that have shaped him into the artist and individual he is today.
This dedication to authenticity is not only admirable, but it also serves as a powerful inspiration to others who may be struggling to find their own voice and identity. In a world that often values conformity and the pursuit of external validation, Cashtank’s refusal to compromise his true self is a refreshing and empowering reminder that the most meaningful success often comes from within.
The Enduring Bonds of Community and Loyalty
Woven throughout Cashtank’s lyrics is a deep appreciation for the relationships and connections that have sustained him through the ups and downs of his journey. As he reflects on those who have “really had” him, it becomes clear that the support and loyalty of his community have been instrumental in his ability to persevere.
This sense of community and belonging is further reinforced, which highlights Cashtank’s collaborations with other creatives, such as the director PhillyFlyBoy. By surrounding himself with like-minded individuals who share his passion and vision, Cashtank has tapped into the power of collective effort and mutual support, a testament to the transformative impact of strong, meaningful relationships.
The Enduring Legacy of Cashtank’s Artistry
As Cashtank’s story unfolds through the lyrics of “Cashtank – Reglo,” it becomes clear that his artistry is not merely a means to an end, but a reflection of his very essence. His words, imbued with raw emotion and unwavering authenticity, serve as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-belief.
In a world that often values flash over substance, Cashtank’s music stands as a refreshing and inspiring counterpoint, reminding us that true greatness is not measured by material wealth or outward success, but by the depth of one’s character and the steadfastness of one’s convictions. As he continues to forge his path, Cashtank’s story will undoubtedly inspire and uplift countless others who are navigating their own journeys of self-discovery and personal growth.

Marking his return to the charts, reggae icon Maxi Priest has collaborated with dancehall superstar, Sean Paul, on the single release of “Feel So Alive,” the final track in “The Signal” riddim series by renowned music curator and producer Lion Face. Priest, a legendary reggae vocalist, whose career spans four decades, has partnered with Intercept Music to officially launch and distribute his own label, Level Vibes Music. “Feel So Alive” is the label’s debut.
San Francisco, CA – Maxi Priest, one of the most celebrated reggae fusion artists of all time, is making a massive move to re-ignite world music. The legendary reggae vocalist, whose career spans four decades with three Grammy nominations, has partnered with Intercept Music to officially re-launch and distribute his own label, Level Vibes Music. Marking his return to the charts, Priest has collaborated with dancehall superstar, Sean Paul, on the single release of “Feel So Alive,” the final track in “The Signal” riddim series by renowned music curator and producer Lion Face for Lion King Muzik.
In reggae and dancehall music, a riddim is the instrumental backing track that multiple artists use to create their own distinct songs. “Feel So Alive” is Sean Paul’s and Maxi Priest’s contribution to the five-song project which also has songs by JC Lodge, Luciano, Morgan Heritage, and Quan Dajai. “Feel So Alive” is a love-fueled Caribbean collaboration that ‘signals’ a roots and reggae revival for the ages.
Maxi’s musical lineage runs deep across multiple cultures. His breakthrough came in 1984 with the first UK reggae tune to reach #1 in Jamaica. His self-titled 1988 album, recorded with legends Sly & Robbie, Willie Lindo, and others, introduced him to intercontinental audiences with hits like the classic cover of Cat Stevens’ “Wild World.” His duet with Beres Hammond, “How Can We Ease the Pain,” showcased his ability to garner mainstream accessibility. The album, “Bonafide” went Gold in the U.S. and delivered the smash single “Close to You,” #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the R&B chart.
The momentum continued with chart-topping collaborations including “Set the Night to Music” with Roberta Flack and “Housecall” with Shabba Ranks. Maxi had mastered the art of balancing reggae authenticity with pop appeal. His 1996 release, “Man with the Fun,” featuring Shaggy on the Grammy-nominated crossover hit “That Girl,” proved his staying power. “CombiNation” (1999), an eclectic blend of reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and jazz, featured artists like Beenie Man, Degree, and Red Rat, and reinterpretations of classics by Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder.
In 2022, he returned to the stage with UB40, The Original Wailers, and Big Mountain for a six-week U.S. tour. Now marking 40 years in the music industry with his label relaunch, Maxi has been honored with inductions into the Jamaica Music Museum Hall of Fame and the Reggae Walk of Fame.
“I feel so alive!” exclaims reggae music sensation Maxi Priest. “My label, Level Vibes Music, finally has the support that it needs through my partnership with Intercept Music. Intercept Music was created specifically for busy independent artists like me. With Intercept, we now have access to all the tools my team needs for the business of marketing and promoting, leaving me with the time and energy to do what I love – make music.”
“Working with Lion Face is always amazing,” adds Priest. “He and I go way back, and our history is very, very melodic. Having my brother Sean Paul on this track with me, my official debut label release, is something beyond beautiful. Sean does what Sean does, he is just so brilliant! We connect across generations, growing the culture, the music and the vibration. Yes, I feel so alive!”
Sean Paul, who has been proclaimed Jamaica’s top export, is likely one of the biggest global stars the island has produced. The iconic dancehall deejay has dominated international charts since he burst onto the scene in the late ‘90s. Three decades later and he shows no signs of slowing down. His introduction to the world stage was the 1997 instant smash “Infiltrate.” By the time he released his debut project, “Stage One” in 2000 with dancehall hits alongside singer Mr. Vegas, he was the highest-selling artist on VP Records. When Sean and Vegas landed a cameo in Hype Williams’ 1998 film “Belly,” and a musical collaboration with rap star DMX, his undeniable appeal in hip-hop was sealed.
Paul’s sophomore album “Dutty Rock” broke the mold for dancehall ultimately spawning four Top 15 Billboard hits. In the very same period, his voice powered hits for Beyoncé, Blu Cantrell and Busta Rhymes, proving that his Midas touch with a hook could not be contained by one genre. Sean’s third #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Temperature,” took the music star worldwide, reaching the Top 10 in Canada and France and Top 20 in Australia and the UK. Blazing through the decades, the 2020’s have shown Sean to be the world’s foremost representative of Brand Jamaica, with him officially recognized by the Jamaican government with an Order of Distinction, decades of awards, chart-topping hits and a worldwide fanbase that is unmatched. To date, he is the most streamed reggae artist of all time with 15 billion streams, surpassing reggae legend Bob Marley!
“Lion Face is like family to me and the music. He was one of the first selectors to ever believe in me. And, you know, to be able to do a song with Maxi Priest, who was in the business before me, somebody who I look up to, it makes a very strong connection to the song itself. For me, it’s a dope feeling to know I can look up to these icons, both Lion Face and Maxi Priest, and now be doing songs with them,” adds global superstar Sean Paul.
“The musical bond between Sean Paul and Maxi Priest is mind blowing,” cites Founder and Chairman, Ralph Tashjian, for Intercept Music, a worldwide, leading, technology-driven independent music distribution and marketing company. “Intercept Music has been continuously expanding our musical frontier, so this song release is a huge accomplishment for us. Priest and Paul together – what more can I say, except be on the lookout for much more to come!”

No viral stunts. No label puppets. Just raw, unfiltered heat pulsing from Atlanta’s studios to global playlists.
After months tracking the city’s underground pulse, it’s clear who’s driving trap’s latest evolution: KOthePRODUCER and WorlasiFendi.
Two producers redefining Atlanta’s foundation, their beats fuse surgical precision, soulful depth, and unrelenting hustle. While the industry chases algorithms, they’re quietly building a legacy—independent, authentic, and undeniably Atlanta.
KOthePRODUCER operates like a sonic engineer, crafting beats with mathematical precision.
His crisp drums, ground-shaking 808s, and locked-in hi-hats form the backbone of records like Quez4Real’s “Both Sides” and Low$ki’s “Drugs.”
Every mix feels open but heavy, giving artists space to deliver while maintaining street aggression.
WorlasiFendi is the storyteller, painting cinematic backdrops built on melody, texture, and mood.
His work on Dopeboy Da Kid’s “Work” ft. DaBaby and 81 Zook’s “Charged Up” blends trap’s raw energy with unexpected emotional weight.
What makes their partnership stand out is balance—KO’s precision anchoring Worlasi’s atmosphere, grounding innovation in authenticity.
Their catalog reads like coordinates on Atlanta’s current map.
KO’s beats drive voices from Johnny Cinco to Sway Up Next’s “Instant” and PaperMann’s “Had To.”
Each placement ties into key circles—Ralo’s Famerica, and the streets that feed them.
His sound remains consistently clean, controlled, and undeniably street-certified.
WorlasiFendi’s range is equally expansive.
From Dezzyano’s introspective anthems to Rich Espy’s “Put In Work” ft. Parlae (D4L), his catalog balances aggression with melody.
When 81 Zook’s “Charged Up” caught fire across the DJ circuit, it confirmed his reputation as a visionary producer translating emotion into momentum.
Their tracks don’t just release—they circulate through Atlanta’s ecosystem like cultural currency.
Their grind defines the modern independent model.
KO and Worlasi move with Atlanta’s signature hustle—fast, adaptive, and self-sufficient.
KO anchors the production with structure and precision; Worlasi builds the melodic narrative and emotional pull.
A beat can evolve from a late-night session to SoundCloud rotation to club speakers within days.

New York, NY — Rising artist, visionary, and creative force Maxx Paradox is rewriting the rules of independence with his breakout project Saved by Guitars — a 17-track fusion of rock, hip-hop, and raw emotional storytelling that has the internet talking.
In its first 24 hours, Saved by Guitars pulled in over a quarter million streams, a milestone that stamped Maxx as one of the most dynamic new voices in modern music. The project follows the viral success of his single Young & Wasted, which charted Top 50 on iTunes before the album even dropped.
But numbers only tell half the story. Saved by Guitars is the soundtrack to survival — a personal testimony of how music became Maxx’s lifeline during his darkest moments. “Music literally saved my life,” Maxx says. “It gave me a voice when I felt like no one could hear me. Every record on this project is a chapter of that story — the pain, the healing, and the rebirth.”
A Cinematic World:
Saved by Guitars
The Short Film
To bring the story to life visually, Maxx released “Saved by Guitars: Episode 1 – Young & Wasted”, a short film that mirrors the project’s raw emotional depth. The visual feels more like a movie than a music video — blending gritty realism with surreal storytelling, setting the stage for future episodes in the Saved by Guitars universe.
“Young & Wasted was about the chaos before clarity,” Maxx explains. “The film shows what it really means to be saved by your passion — to lose yourself, then find yourself through the music.”
Building a Movement Beyond Music
Through his growing platform, Maxx Paradox isn’t just making records — he’s building a movement for creative freedom. Known for his hands-on approach to mentorship, artist development, and marketing through his Maxx Volume brand, Maxx bridges the gap between artistry and entrepreneurship.
Saved by Guitars feels like a statement piece — a declaration that independent doesn’t mean small. It means ownership, authenticity, and legacy.
What’s Next
The momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Maxx has announced a 21-song deluxe edition of Saved by Guitars, expanding the story even further. “The deluxe is the next level,” he says. “It’s everything I couldn’t fit on the original — bigger records, bigger emotions, and a message that hits even harder.”
Get The Merch & Join The Movement
Fans can now grab official Saved by Guitars merchandise — including exclusive tees, hoodies, and limited edition drops — at www.MaxxParadox.shop.
