With the hustle and bustle of everyday life it so hard to pay attention to what’s going on in the underground music industry especially with surrounding news regarding the pandemic, the current election, and other crazy news going on within the United States as well as globally. But don’t worry we Nefarious Supply are always locked into what’s going on in the underground music industry and this week we have you covered with our first episode of NS Spotlight. In this new content piece we showcase some of our favorite underground artists as well as creative groups that have been on our radar. This week we start with a group of artists who have been dominating Atlanta based DOLO Records.
First things first if you haven’t heard of DOLO Records do yourself a favor, stop reading and follow them on Instagram as well as Twitter because after you get through this article you’re gonna want to keep the label as well as the artists on your radar. Established by the 3 artists currently on their roster ( SwaVay, Hadi, and Jahnai) DOLO Records is a purely independent label with the goal of spreading music across the globe, connecting and gaining more supporters, and putting out meaningful projects to the world that draws more eyes on them. Started when the three artists were in high school DOLO Records has slowly grown into the creative experience that the artists have had in mind since they were young, and with the talent as well as sound diversity across the labels roster DOLO Records and the artists that make it up are positioning themselves for nothing but success. .
Hadi - I Cant Die Yet
Starting at the top is newcomer to our blog Hadi and his album “I Can’t Die Yet” which I gotta say when I did an initial listen though I was blown away not only by the quality of the production but the bar he sets for himself as an underground artist. Dropped in 2018 “I Can’t Die Yet” is inspired by a number of events in the young artist's life including seeing his peers death’s as well as almost losing his life to a car accident himself. According to Hadi his album title represents him not being done with his purpose here on earth and he is definitely thankful to get another chance to accomplish his goals. Featuring guest appearances from SwaVay (who also mixed and mastered the album) , Jahnai, TimxSpnt, and Chloé, as well as production from Erich Gutzler, and Meech and video production from Kevin Cruz of Kev Cruz Productions. Hadi overall sound with the album and visuals he has put out to accompany his work is very quality focused and is an example of an underground artist taking his role very seriously as he adds another body of work to his discography thats adds pure value to his overall brand.
Jahnai - The Life
Next up is Jahnai and his latest project “The Life” a solid 8 tracks from beginning to end “The Life” is another great addition to the overall label’s collection of music and similar to his label mate Hadi you can tell that Jahnai takes his craft very serious and he put a lot of thought and effort into his latest body of work. Inspired by the norm of having trials and tribulations the album epitomizes Jahnai playing the cards he is given and knowing that his current situation is not set in stone and he is destined for greatness. With the main meaning behind the title serving as an insight of his life that he is sharing with his audience. Featuring guest appearances from SwaVay, Dysfunctional Ron, and Hadi the 8 track as well as production from the same people “The Life” is another solid piece of work from a talented DOLO Records artist and is definitely worth a listen to.
SwaVay - B4dalbum
Unfortunately we weren't able to connect SwaVay but similar to his label mates B4dalbum is another project from DOLO Records that packs a punch not only in the production but the lyricism as well. Under 10 tracks B4dalbum opens up with a punch and ends with a banger with each song after the beginning track getting better and better. Featuring guest appearances from Brooklyn Summers, as well as Erick the Architect it’s safe to say like label mates SwaVay knows what he is doing in the studio and B4dalbum is another worthy addition to this artists discography as well as the collection of music already put out by the label.
