AAKHU - Giveon - Garden Kisses (House Remix

AAKHU has been a fan favorite of Nefarious for years, everything the DMV diamond drops becomes a gem, and with his dip into the wave of house production, his spin on Giveon’s Garden Kisses is a beautiful example of the artistry he can provide by simply adding a touch of his own sound.

Rell Chanel - RUNNIN’ [REMIX]

Rell Chanel’s debut project isn’t out yet, but with the release of his track HILLS, got us as hyped as possible for what he has in store for us. However, as a surprise gift, Chanel also dropped the RUNNIN’ [REMIX] track, which boasts playful, yet deep 808s and cheeky samples here and there that come together to paint a beautiful world for the new artist to play in. Don’t sleep on Rell Chanel, tune in if you know the vibes.

Meech - Sometimes Pain Can Be A Drug Too Pt. IV

As if a gift before the gift, Meech of Van Buren Records dropped an incredible three minutes (and then some) of incredible introspection, truth-telling, and reminiscence. On what seems to be the fourth installment of this series, Meech speaks on topics of getting older, not being able to deal with trauma the same way anymore, and still being connected to God even though he’s long since escaped the church. Now he’s looking to the future, finally ready to embrace the fame he’d been so scared of reaching for years prior. He has a team, he has a vision, and he has the passion. He can’t quit now. The future’s right there.

Doc Drvddy - S P I R I T (prod. jkj)

Now Doc Drvddy has been apart of our hub since we we’ve started, a long-time favorite of the collective, Drvddy slides the best on atmospheric dreamy beats, grounded in light trap foundations, and boy does he and producer, jkj, deliver on S P I R I T. With beautiful flows and effortless lyricism the DMV native reminds us why he’s one of the hottest rappers out here.

Juice WRLD - Call Her Coraline (prod. By Jaden’s Mind)

Now Juice WRLD is a weird ender for this article, but considering we’re delving into the world of Soundcloud, I would love to shed some light on some amazing producers as well.For one, there’s Jaden’s Mind. An upcoming soundcloud producer who we actually originally found on Youtube. His remixes to famous Juice WRLD songs not only add another seven-to-ten layers of storytelling to Juice’s lyricism, but completely drags you into a new world, one where you couldn’t at first see Juice thriving. But of course, this is Mr. 999, and Jaden’s Mind take’s that aesthetic by the reins.

Doc Dvrddy - Fear and Loathing

February 05, 2020

Yo Yo wassup Doc Dvrddy! It’s been a while since we had you on so i figure we just start by catching up with you. What’s new on your end?

It’s been a minute for sure. It’s great to see the growth you guys are making. Shit yo, I’ve been recording like crazy. I recently got let go from my job, so I’ve been in a weird space for the past few weeks. It focused me though. I think I was becoming a little too complacent. I got a 4 track EP on the called “DRVDDPOOL” in the works. Comic books played such a big part of my childhood, I feel it’s only right to have comic book-themed projects. I recently just dropped the first single “Live & Die” .

So tell us about fear and loathing what inspired you to make the project, what’s the theme of it, and why did you decide to give it that name?

The original name of the project was “Nasty 19” a lot of the songs were a year or so old. I’m now 21 lol so I felt like the title didn’t fit. I chose Fear & Loathing because those were the emotions I felt when I recorded the records at the time.

The cover art goes crazy!! Who designed it, and how does it fit the theme of the project?

The designer’s name is Ashanté Dujour. She’s a Howard student that I met at a social gathering Howard was having called sesh collective. She really did her own style with it & I appreciate her for the participation towards the project. I like my covers drawn because it really allows my imagination to run.

So you got a ton of fire producers including Yung Nab, Donnie Katana, & G Cozy and
many more talented producers how did meet each of them, and what led to you guys
working together to get some songs on your album?

The internet is a crazy place lol I would spend hours searching threw YouTube for beats. Shoutout all of these producers cause they still supporting the guys. We got a whole lot of new stuff coming real soon.

The whole tape is fire bro buy my favorite song gotta be “Daily”, tell us more about this song?

The beat already had that bounce to it. The lyrics really just came to me while I was listening to it over and over again. The synths remind me of like an alarm going in the morning.

So you only included one feature on the album which was Martyheemcherry, how did the
two of you meet and what drove your choice to give him the only guest feature?

Man, to be honest, I can’t remember the very first we met. But that’s the homie, I respect his artistry. He brings his own vibe every time to the track. It’s never formulaic. When I wrote out my verse, he came in mind automatically. The way the song came together was honestly legendary as well.

So let’s talk Chanel Gang what's new with the label as far as music and the individual
artists?

Man Chanel Gang as a whole we’ve been locked in the recording. Jimmy got a new tape in the works. Sage going crazy right now. We got a song out right now called “No Assist” off his “Weight of Love” tape. The beat is insane on that one. Chachi got his tape with Fendi coming up. Doc & Chachi 2.5 out now go check that out man; Chachi & I did it again.

Will, we ever get a Chanel Gang themed tape with all the artists on it, and when are you and Chachi putting out another collab tape?

Yeah, we def got a Lil EP coming for y’all. “Chanel No.1” gonna be 3 tracks featuring JimmyOG, Doc Drvddy, & Chachi. Sage got a lot of crank coming y’all way. Stay on the lookout for that. Yeah, Chachi & I def got a lot more music.

What can we expect from you in 2020??

This year has been eventful, to say the least. I did my first paid gig this year. That’s a big step for me, I love performing & someone willing to book me & allow me to talk my shit is always appreciated. I dropped my first official project. Paid for out of my pockets, with professional mixing & mastering. My video “Broke Boy” just broke 6k in 2 months. Big shoutout to Donnie for posting the video on his channel! This the most views I’ve gotten so far. My plan going into the ’20s is just expand. Different sounds. Different video concepts.

Any last words?

I appreciate you guys. For real for real. Stay tapped in on this Drvddy shit. On this Chanel Gang shit. DRVDDPOOL coming real soon. Go stream that “Live & Die”, go stream “Fear & Loathing” & don’t litter
Peace

Nefarious Underground 5

February 04, 2020 in Playlist

This week we at Nefarious Supply are gifting you all with another list of vastly talented and underrated artists. From blue dreams to baby mamas, artists such as Lango, TWNTYFOUR, Noddy North, THREE65, LNLYBOY, and Serena Isioma all make beautiful contributions to this week’s playlist and we’ll be getting into the some brief descriptions of some of these efforts below!

The playlist opens up with a hard-hitting slow banger, “doubt”, by Eddy Benz, featuring Noddy North. The song surrounds the concept of debt and uneasiness in a world full of anticipating individuals. THREE65 fits perfectly on the feature, bringing the song to a much needed head towards the final bridge.

As if taking the baton away from Eddy, Noddy North crowns the next track with a brand new single of his own. “New Me” is a track centered around Noddy’s rebirth since his rise to fame. He rides over a saddened “Futsal Shuffle”-esque beat and runs from verse to verse with effortless flows and lyricism.

Throwing a long pass back to our playlist’s first feature, THREE65 takes it back with “LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE!”, produced by WORLDWIDETAK. On the track, 65 bemoans the company and presence of a specific female, saying how she makes him feel lost and crooning into titular chorus, overtop smooth and dark 808s.

Fan favorite Stephen Jailon makes an appearance with his new single “Achoo!”. He talks about various topics, such as fake friends, new business ventures, how fast his life is moving how he wishes to slow it down sometimes. Over a solid trap beat, Jailon solidifies himself yet again.

TWNTYFOUR is back with another banger. “Problems” showcases the artist’s struggle with the everyday problems in his life. He croons “I’ve been sad but girl you know me”, and promises his love for the girl in question is deeper than most, as well as their connection. With top-notch production, TWNTYFOUR does it yet again.

Dutchboy and SAZ come together on the former’s new track “Oblivion”. While Dutchboy swoons over the girl of his dreams, SAZ comes in with a dreamy addition, bringing the track into his world, telling the listener he has all the time in the world, and how beautiful the feeling is to truly be in oblivion.

LNLYBOY’s drop “Honey Boy” takes us through his pride as an artist, the subtlest of flexes over a slow and bouncy beat and the eprfect use of autotune, as always. LNLYBOY crafts an entire vibe within two-minutes and twenty-seven seconds.

Lango drops one of our favorite songs off the playlist with “Baby Mama”, a crowd mover off the sheer energy of the chorus alone, Lango uses minimal lyricism and uncompromising aggressiveness to ride the equally unshakeable 808 that’s sure to make the floor vibrate.

Serena Isioma’s “Sensitive” is a groovy and hard-hitting masterpiece. Serena switches between flow after flow and warns against people taking her shit, threatening to take their girl in retaliation. WIth an infectious chorus and a beautiful beat-switch towards the latter half of the track, Serena leaves her talent all over this track.

Doc Drvddy slides through with a jovial end to our underground playlist with his new track “Daily”, in which he reminisces on his life before his fame, whilst rapping about his daily routine of smoking a jay and rolling with the gang. He finishes his chorus of the upbeat and polished production with “I’ve been real since them days as a baby.”

With other new gems sprinkled within the mix, our NS Underground 5 is complete, check it out below!

Big shout out to all of our rising artists for their outstanding music. If you want to stay up to date with new music coming from any of them, you can find all of their social media and discography in the links as well as listen to the new underground playlist above!
