Demon Discography Vol. 1

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”

ISOLATION STATION EP 5 - AS WE PROCEED

In this segment we’re giving life to the leagues of music being dropped every week during this trying, yet, interestingly enough, personal time.

We at Nefarious Supply want you guys to always have a new underground project or creator, either on your mind, on your playlist, or on your feed in some way, shape, or form. In this instance, we’re doing this on an episodic basis and deciding to write on all the new music coming in through this station, five tracks at a time.

Our fifth episode shows us the importance of caution and quality in our next steps. “As we proceed” is a saying widely-known, especially throughout the African-American community, it propagates the feeling of hopefulness but also of care and attention to detail, of making silent and careful moves, then showing out with a bang when no one expects. As we proceed, let’s be creative, and committed.

Take a look! 😈

Hatesonny - Damage Control 

We first heard Hatesonny on Serena Isioma’s Sensitive EP, specifically the track, Move, where the artist laid down a groovy and swelling verse, which complimented Serena’s feminine energy on the track almost flawlessly. On his new album, Golden Child, Hatesonny shows us exactly who he is as an artist.

From the piano-driven melody on top to the bass-thumping 808s beneath, Hatesonny delivers on every part of “Damage Control”, the first track off of his third album. Hatesonny comes with a vengeance for that #1 spot. 

Black$tar x Mayal - Jump in the Party

Black$tar and Mayal are back at it again on another piping hot track! The two Calgary natives strike while the iron is hot and make their mark on Jump In The Party. With a nostalgic beast of a beat with a grand production Black$tar gets his point across that he will have fun, no matter what, where, when, or why.

Flexing so much even his ex acknowledges he has it, Black$tar bars are uplifting and also direct and confident, meshing well with Mayal’s masterful use of autotune and melodic synergy with the beat, that he possesses on every track.

Jump in the Party is definitely a feel-good banger that you’ll be singing in the back of your head for a while.

SwaVay - Yaya

DOLO Records’ very own SwaVay features on this episode of the Isolation Station. The opening track “Yaya”, off of his album B4dalbum. Instantly, Kendrick comes to mind as the flute progression and the soft 808-led beat creep along the bottom of the track’s production, the emphasis is focused on SwaVay’s lyrics, and boy are they worth the attention.

Bars comparing Bernie Mac, stu pigeons, big dogs, and cool midgets, as well as thanking God for his Christian roots, not even insinuating, more so telling the listener to the point what he’d do if he wasn’t, these effortless flows as well as the carefully curated production are what put SwaVay ahead of most of his peers.

SAEED - Faded Freestyle

SAEED is back people! With his new freestyle, Faded, the Chicago artist tries to drink away his problems, may have fallen in love, or was it the drink in his hand? He’s confident but also unsure of himself. However, at the end of the day, he’s going to keep it moving and keep working.

This is the underlying theme of the track, however SAEED’s fun take on the overlaying theme of a drunken night in the club, vibing over a heavy-hitting, spacey beat is him in his prime lane and vibe, and we hope his sound only continues to evolve beautifully.

Freddy Leone & Apollo1027 - Freak Show (ft. David Sulky)

Freddy Leone and Apollo1027 team up on a surprise collab de3with their EP, The Third Generation. Their standout track, Freak Show, portrays Leone and Apollo in their prime form, seamlessly switching flows as they trade lyrical blows left-right overtop a beautifully full and brimming production style.

The beat focuses heavily on making the space for both artists to run at their fullest speed, with topics of sexual freedom, lost time, letting go, keeping secrets, promises kept and broken, and of course, having the money to fund the lifestyle that propagates these hazardous, yet intriguing situations.

Featuring artist, David Sulky’s, beautiful finishing verse before the refrain solidifies him as an artist to look out for. Sultry, high-vibrato tones put him on a pedestal for all to listen and love. Overall a standout track from these Orlando giants.

Freddy Leone

Q:

What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours? 

A:

I was born and raised in New Jersey, so I find myself getting involved with a lot of street culture and aesthetics. Cities like Toronto and New York have definitely molded me into the person I am now.

Experiencing the music scene, primarily in those two cities, has influenced me into serving my purpose in the music industry and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Q:

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening? What platform can people reach your content on the most conveniently? 

A:

I believe the reason why people listen to my music is because it’s something they’re not hearing everyday.

No disrespect to the genres but I believe Trap and EDM are becoming a little over saturated in today’s society to where it’s a bit repetitive. So when people give my music a chance, they realize it’s something their ears aren’t used to.

My plan is to show people versatility in my music from all music genres in which I hope more people will start listening. As a producer, I do not want a signature sound, I want to remain exclusive.

I want to be known as a creator.

When people think about producers, they look at them as a minority to the game. My purpose is to bring recognition to the minority and show you do not have to be a vocalist to be an artist. People who have an open mind about music always love finding new music and artists that are evolving on a daily basis which should secure the correct fan base.

I strive to make sure my audience has access to everything they have interest in whether it’s my music, merchandise, or information about me or my team. That being said, my music can be found on all platforms available for purchase and streaming.

Q:

What albums and songs do you already have out that people should listen to? 

A:

I do not have an album out yet. It will be a while before I have an official album out but I have 4 singles that are out on all platforms and there is an EP in the works at this time.

I should hopefully have the project ready by the end of this year or beginning of next.

Q;

How has your experience in the industry been thus far? 

A:

I’m not by far that much experienced into the industry but I can definitely say it’s been a great one.

It’s been a short, yet lengthy journey so far and I’ve made new friends and met new individuals who are interested in my team and I, and who are willing to help people know about us. It’s definitely an experience when you have quite a few people genuinely like the content that my team and I have made. You start realizing you serve a purpose to their entertainment and it makes you wanna go even harder than before each time.

It’s also crazy to see the people who come out and support.

These are important times where you start separating the real from the fake. You definitely learn some wisdom getting involved in this atmosphere.

Q:

Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be ?

A:

Definitely receiving recognition from real fans, music promoting pages, and being recognized by key individuals in the industry has supplied me with outstanding moments, in my opinion.

It has showed me my imprint on music and has given me a reason to continue to experiment and create.

One person specifically, an artist by the name of K. Forest, has given me his time and recognized my value to industry. He is a staple to the game, especially in Toronto music right now and deserves more recognition. He is truly underrated.

Q:

Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked? 

A:

My second single titled “Safe” is probably my favorite produced track.

It is my most played track at the moment. With that track, I had a specific message and image I hoped to execute and it did perfectly. Having Apollo1027 surround his vocals on that track is one thing I know the audience felt and is probably the reason why people want to keep playing it.

It started strong and ended strong in my opinion.

Q:

Walk us through the steps you take to create a track. What is your creative process? Do you happen to just walk into the studio and throw some beats on until one sticks? Or is there a more delicate process involved? 

A:

I listen to a lot of different music everyday so I always have inspiration and sometimes reference tracks to help my creative drive. I make sure to work almost everyday because I’ll have days where I make something really good off the top or days if I want to focus on a project and deliver it in a specific way.

I believe you should never let a day go by without a piece of creativity distributed.

You never know if you’ll make a hit that day.

That’s what happened to the track “Safe”. I had a lot of other alternative beats but I felt the one I chose now was the best.

Q:

Where do you think you would be at this very moment if you weren't pursuing your career in music? 

A:

Honestly probably in school with more student loan debt. Not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m more free in the position I have now. After high school I almost considered military but I knew in my heart and soul I’m on this world to serve a different purpose. And I’m glad I’ve made that decision.

No regrets honestly. I’m very thankful.

Q:

Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry? 

A:

Do not be afraid to be social.

You need to be comfortable with making relationships with the people in this industry because they’re all useful tools help you grow as an artist. Being social helps you recognize who to stay away from and who you NEED to work with because there are a lot of fakes.

A lot more than usual.

You start realizing they’re doing this for the wrong reason. But you making the image to stand out will serve your purpose as an important individual to look out for.

Remember to be yourself as people will notice that and don’t be afraid to experiment. You need that to grow as an artist. Keep up with the evolution of music and go back and listen to some classics.

All pieces of music are just as important, no matter how old or new.

Q:

Also, is there anything you'd like for us to promote?

A:

Any of my singles will do ! Primarily my singles “Can’t Get Enough” or “Safe”. Be sure to check the rest of my team out. David Sulky, Apollo1027, and C3.

This is RX.

People will know about us sooner or later.
