Jason Ivy is an up-and-coming, unsigned musical artist based in Chicago, whose freshman EP project, CØMPLIMENTS (released 2/09/19), has earned over 300,000 streams on Spotify and Soundcloud, as well as Top 10 R&B album placements on both amazon and iTunes. Ivy has been a self-starter and entrepreneur in the Chicago music scene for the last two years since returning home from college at the University of Pennsylvania where he studied Neuroscience and Linguistics.

Each icon represents one of the six songs from the project. In order, they are: Hate (the spiteful message and angered posture of the astronaut), Foreign (the astronaut itself), Higher (the rocket), Chlorophyll (the sunflowers), Ivy (the ivy leaves), and Pyre (the woman with the burning heart).

The concept behind both the EP and the cover art is that these are all separate concepts that function as a whole, all mostly contained within this jar. Each of the songs addresses the state of the jar — being emotionally empty or filled — which doubles as a graphic metaphor for the state of the narrator’s own emotions.

“Zombieland” // King Pablo is back alive with creative alternative new-age RnB single

“Zombieland” // King Pablo is back alive with creative alternative new-age RnB single

An earth-moving synth progression jump starts King Pablo’s “Zombieland”, foreshadowing an unimaginable banger to come. To fulfill that prophecy, the Denton artist hits the mic with a melodic torrent of bars; and after fifteen seconds, this Texan smash is mobile. What King Pablo wants us to know, most of all, with this three minute anthem, is that he is back from the dead. After a four year hiatus, The Lonestar emcee has to resurrected; and his first order of business is giving us a trunk-rattling taste of “Young Rebel”, his upcoming debut. To that end, “Zombieland” is flawless. It features the Southern artist spinning through synths, 808s, and lively trap drums, in a blur of melody and autotune. Both elements swing his rhymes into irresistible territory, making “Zombieland” a track you won’t be able to deny. Certainly, King Pablo has been gone for quite some time. However, with a track like this, he has thrust his palm from the grave, and gripped the Texas rap game.

“Chillin” // Leanna Love releases alternative RnB breakup anthem

“Chillin” // Leanna Love releases alternative RnB breakup anthem

“Chillin” // Leanna Love releases alternative RnB breakup anthem

Inarguably, we have been blessed with a rich lineage of female, R&B talent. From the 90s/early 2000 smashes of the late, legend Aaliyah; to the eclectic slow jams of Janet Jackson, and celestial climb of Beyonce; every generation has had that songstress who completely captivates our hearts. Now, it seems the current generation will be blessed with their own. A Queen of Hearts, laying in the middle of the deck, just waiting to be shuffled to the top. That is Leanna Love; and if our words aren’t enough to convince you of her radiant potential, “Chillin” certainly will. Having flown from her nest in Chicago, to settle down in Arizona, this Midwestern songbird comes with her latest, modern-R&B bop, in aim to shake the game. A vibrant melody; contained by trap percussions and slamming 808s, creates a club-ready bed for “Chillin”. One on which Leanna’s mystical vocals can peacefully lay. The Chicago-born, Arizona-residing singer/songwriter utterly erupts across this record, writhing through harmonies and power vocals with peerless grace. A grace only comparable to the greats mentioned before; and that is precisely why “Chillin”, as well as any succeeding banger she plans to release, will soon have Leanna Love standing right beside them.

FLORIDA HIPHOP >> Maor Mo and Talib Kweli release good vibes on fun new R&B/Hiphop single “Karaoke” [Music + Interview]

FLORIDA HIPHOP >> Maor Mo and Talib Kweli release good vibes on fun new R&B/Hiphop single “Karaoke” [Music + Interview]

A latin guitar, seasoned by a wispy vocal sample and ad-libs from Maor Mo, himself, slowly spark his latest single, “Karaoke”. Featuring the undeniable, Hip-Hop legend, Talib Kweli, early into the record, “Karaoke” foreshadows its potential as a chart-topping, R&B hit. The flame shoots up the wick the moment our Floridian crooner busts into his initial verse: a fast-pace rhyme bouncing along steady percussion. Albeit, a captivating way to kick off an R&B record; the real explosion occurs the moment his first melody is vocalized. He incinerates icons, T-Pain and Drake, with a fiery, harmonized bridge that slides into a scorching, soulful chorus. This energy is forwarded into his succeeding verse; however, the instant an anticipated, “Black Star” someone graces the mic, all hell breaks loose. With a quick, yet classic verse that will certainly magnetize Hip-Hop heads worldwide, Talib Kweli brings the energy of “Karaoke” full circle. The emcee inertia Maor Mo kicked off this record with, flows smoothly into the legend; and from the legend, into this epic, radio-ready smash. As passionately as he references them on his hook, there will be no more “Karaoke” bars for this Miami musician. With a song like this he’s headed for a much bigger stage. @Maor
