With great artists, and even better art. 😈
Stephen Jailon - Smashbros
A groovy first track for the list, NS veteran Stephen Jailon is back with a video for his new track Smashbros. With the Latin undertones of the guitar-led melody and the precise 808s hitting with the beat flawlessly, Stephen shows time and time again that he can have fun and still be the hardest rapper on the scene. Smashbros is a tribute to his discography so far and he holds his place a lyrical and flow-switching genius on the beat.
Michael Christmas - Credit (ft. Saint Lyor)
Credit is the collaboration between rising artists Michael Christmas and Van Buren Records’ heavy hitter Saint Lyor. Michael spits from the very second the track starts and begins his lyrical assault on the beat, partnered with alley-oops to Lyor who slams it down with his own uncompromising verses. The track is short but filled with fun and creative flow switches and witty lines from the two rappers, light-hearted and notable addition to our quarantine list.
Knightamore - 7deadly$ins (ft. Nessa Grim)
Coming in with hard production and roomy vocals, Knightamore and Nessa Grim completely body this track, whether it comes from Knightamore’s shadowy verses or the brooding chorus and outro and Nessa Grim, but the two come together in the best possible way. You can hear a snippet of a scene from 2019’s Joker, where Arthur is questioned by his psychiatrist. He states: “You’ve asked the same questions every week. How’s your job? Are you having any negative thoughts? All I have are negative thoughts.” The perfect summarization of this song’s main topic.
Shalom Dubas & Jake Vicious - 7 Days (Flip)
Shalom Dubas and Jake Vicious are an exemplary team on this track. Using the chorus from 7 days by Craig David 2000s flips. Vicious’s production slips underneath Shalom’s voice is like butter and no beat or melody seems out of place in the slightest, bringing together smooth and enjoyable track for a sunny afternoon.
Odd Mojo - Sunday, Monday
Probably the most quarantine-themed track on this last, Odd Mojo uses a velvety melody with a variety of sounds that compound and make a perfect base for her to spit freely and switch her flows up effortlessly. Mojo preaches to her fans about seizing the day, no matter if it’s Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc… any day is a chance for you to do something great, and the artist wants her fans to know you just have to get started because that’s the hardest part.
Arhinslim - Starlit
Arhinslim has just released a video to his track “Starlit” a song that made the cut on his 2019 album, Superfly. The playful synths correspond a delicate chiming, propagating a dark and mysterious melody. The hi-hats and kicks punctuate Arhinslim’s lyricism and varied flows that switch and refine themselves throughout the course of the track. Arhinslim speaks on his failures and successes, about his journey to where he is now and what he has in store for his fans in the future.
Mathaius Young - Poppin
Ending off our list is Mathaius Young with his newest track, Poppin. The production is smooth and the melody is composed of a collection of silky voices following a vocal progression over top a seductive 808, a guitar riff takes over towards the end and beautifully rides the beat out. On the track Mathaius seems to be swooning over a woman that’s caught his eye. He remarks in one of the verses that though he doesn’t like bringing up the past, she might even be better than the last.
