Demon Discorgraphy.png

If there’s one thing we are pretty confident about, is that underground music is and will always be the newest sound and the force to drive the music industry forward. This is the reason we place such an emphasis on giving underground and emerging artists a platform, so the artists coming up today, are the big acts of tomorrow. With that in mind, we are extremely excited to update our Demon Discography! Our playlist which features nothing but underground artists. The last time we updated the playlist dates back in October of 2020, so we are super excited to share with you guys the music we have been bumping over the last couple of months.

This months update features a ton of new music from names we have featured here before as well as some artists we are hoping to feature including; Krew$, Foggieraw, Che Ecru, Tadafi, Serena Isioma, Stephen Jailon, Hidden Hills, Elujay & J.Robb, The Code, Lo Village, Alycia Bella, BIGBABBYGUCCI, Mathaius Yung, Blackmayo, Artie J, K. Forest, Maxx Owa, AAKHU, Zavage, Hrtbrkfever, AJay!, & Kayandre. All of the songs featured here are top tier but we wanted to highlight some stand artists as well as projects that are favorites of the team.


Mathaius Yung - Space Age Shit

One of our favorite artists right now, Mathaius Young, ended 2020 on a high note with the release of his project Angel Deep. Based out of Cleveland, Mathaius has been making music for the most of his life and it shows. Catching our eye at the beginning of 2019, we featured him on the platform and was already blown away by his discography at the time which included: ‘Take The Night Away’, ‘Take The Night Away 2’, ‘Burnin’ Castles (w/ Tre Capital)’, and ‘Boy Meet’s World’. A very solid artist as far as his discography, Mathaius Young is already a legend in the early stages of his career, and with the release of ‘Angel Deep’ Mathaius has further cemented his name as an artist that we have high hopes for in future. Featuring guest appearances from Michael Seven, Tre Capital, and WesWIll, Angel Deep is a must listen to, and if you want to learn more about Mathaius check out our latest interview with him which can be found here.

 

Eli Sostre - New Opps

Eli Sostre’s career has been nothing but phenomenal and for those that have been paying attention to him, you know that he is able to release great music on a consistent basis. Making his debut back in 2016 with the release of his project ‘Still Up All Night’, Eli came out the gate swinging. Still finding his unique sound, Eli Sostre has taken some the most prevalent sounds at the time and created a sound that is particular to him and even comes with the help of his go to producer, Soriano. From his 2016 release Eli Sostre has grown as an artist and has added great projects to his discography includingSleep Is For The Weak,Eros, and his latest project Emori’, all of which gets better and better. Eli Sostre stands out to us because not does he have his own sound, he has the ability to carry an entire project on his own with limited features, which is something that is not easy to find today in music.

 

Serena Isioma - Stop Calling The Police On Me

Serena Isioma has had the best 2020! From grabbing national attention with the release of her single Sensitiveas well as dropping her debut project The Leo Sun Sets. Serena may be in the early stages of her career but she is definitely a force to be reckoned with. ‘The Leo Sun Sets’ is a solid debut album with only features 7 songs, each song is packed with enough make you wanna listen over and over again. One of the first artists we interviewed in our early stages, we have watched Serena grow as an artist and it’s amazing to watch her achieve great heights and we know that she still has more to come.

 

Scotty Apex - Helpless

Another artist we featured, Scotty Apex, has been since releasing music since 2016 and with each new release he dead ass gets better and better. First coming up on our radar, we first interviewed the artist back in 2019 right before he released newest project at the time Lovesick 2’. Almost two years later and numerous singles, Scotty Apex followed up on the success of ‘Lovesick 2’ with his newest project Starlight, a project that raised the bar even higher for him and his music. Having guest appearances from Mathaius Young, Ejaaz, Michael Seven, and Maxx Owa, Scotty Apex is not going anywhere any time soon.

 

Maxx Owa - Day by Day

Last but not least, is rising artist Maxx Owa. New to our radar, Maxx is definitely someone that you should look for in upcoming rap. A discography that dates back to 2018, Maxx Owa may have a very limited amount of released music but the quality is always there. Having worked with one of our favorite artists and getting a personal referral from Kami Osha, we couldn’t help but to check him out and we’re more than blown away with him. He also just released his newest project Crescendo so be sure to check that out.

Demon Discography Vol. 1

1.png

We promised you didn’t we? A whole playlist dedicated to underground talent all around the world, well here we are. Welcome to the first volume of our Demon Discography, a playlist o tracks compiled of underground artists we’ve been listening too over the past few weeks. This playlist will drop a new volume every single month, filled with new sounds and beautiful creations from artists in R&B, rap, hip-hop, and indie and much more!

In this month’s discography, we have artists such as Ari PenSmith, Amaarae, and Eli Sostre, smooth yet affirmative paladins of the underground community, as well as newcomers such as Mustafa, Artie J, Dee Gotti, and Brandon Banks who’re taking their sound to new heights!

Of our substantial and well-endowed list, we’ve picked our heaviest hitters and the most fire tracks in our opinion, however, give the playlist a listen and tell us in the comments what your top five tracks are! We’d love to hear your thoughts!

SwaVay - Okay

Probably the most lyrically aggressive track on our favorite five, SwaVay strikes again while the iron’s hot, with a 21 Savage tag to start the track off the listener already know the Boominati Worldwide artist is going to deliver. Okay showcases SwaVay’s lyrical ability to the max, with bars such as:

“If I did it on my own, tell me, who the fuck I'm gon' thank?

And I'm pullin' up on niggas with that brick, no, I ain't Craig”

SwaVay shows his versatility and hunger as a new artist and puts the now Dolo Records label he’s signed too even further on the map with his pure talent and creativity.

NJOMZA - sad for you

NJOMZA’s titular song off her sophomore album takes us into a magical place off of the first note. The artist’s butter-smooth vocals gliding along the light-hearted synth pulls and comfy 808, which halts and heeds at the very utterance of her lyrics. sad for you was made for NJOMZA if that makes any sense. This meaning we don’t believe anyone could’ve pulled off or added anything else to this song to make it as perfect as it is. The song talks about heartbreak and being past the point of raw emotions such as anger and sadness, with some reflection, NJOMZA realizes she’s simply disappointed in her lover, and at this point in her life, she’s sad for them.

reggie - Southside Fade

reggie blows the competition away with this anecdotal, Kendrick/Earthgang-esque track. Southside Fade has reggie speaking on topics of the lack of gun laws in the Southside, and how Houston is so big you feel like you’re on top of the world when you're on it. A folky indie alternative production helms around reggie’s lyricism, and the guitar progression leads the instrumentals all into place, Southside Fade is a beautiful letter to Houston, one reggie executes perfectly.

Artie J - A Thousand Winters’

This song is on our favorite five for one simple fact, one that’s plagued the other tracks on this list. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If Artie J was aiming for a soulful R&B vibe with dreamy, reverbed vocals made to give off a somewhat melancholy, yet hazily beautiful atmosphere? Well, we’d say he’s succeeded. A Thousand Winters’ is produced just right and the piano chord progression ties the song together throughout the 3 minutes and 10 seconds, and the beat switch towards the end gives us a fitting closer for such an outstanding track.

Amaarae - FANCY

Our final track from this months favorite five, FANCY explores Amaarae in a more upbeat and bragggadocious light. She metaphorically dances through the halls of the track, dimly lit and alluring, while the spotlight is all on her and her infectious hook. The song is quite short but is quite a vibe, and doesn’t spread itself too thin in terms of what it’s trying to do. Amaarae flexes all over FANCY, and lets everyone know, she has smpke for whoever wants to try her, and time for whoever wants to call her “Zaddy”
