This week we at Nefarious Supply are gifting you all with another list of vastly talented and woefully underrated artists. NOVA comes in hot with “WHEN THE CD SKIPS” a short yet hard-hitting melodic banger. On the track the artist discusses his irritation with the world and how he’s had it with the nonsense, all whilst sliding smoothly over smooth 808s. Lule follows up with “HAHA” a jumpy, money-flaunting trap beat. He flexes his gains while laughing all the way, filling the chorus with his mirth and the beat with beautiful autotuned crooning. He makes sure his listeners know that you can’t go big on big time, and the track solidifies that fact. Josif Grey, a NS veteran who we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing, comes in with flawless artistry on his “Finesse Freestyle”, slowing down the vibes as he speaks to his female audience over a harp-sprinkled, lowkey. He illustrates all the places he’s willing to take her, how lowkey and personal he’s willing to be with her in order for them to both grow, and how pressed he is to show her off, with the flair only an artist of his caliber can provide. “Cocktails in Spain” continues the chill vibes, adding the spice of an upbeat melody. Offering to fly her out to Spain to get away from the stress of life, LoverboyBass reassures his girl that “You ain’t gonna have to look to no more, L-O-V-E’s right here.” “444” is one of the more fuller-length tracks on our underground hitlist. Featuring Wooski, the beat is signified by a beautiful guitar riff in the background, delicately playing atop the heavy 808s below. MARI TRUST ME slides on the beat with braggadocios bars whilst Wooski uses autotune as his musical weapon, slaughtering the beat with fact-dropping lyricism wrapped up in a singer’s vocal prowess. Aari Price, another newcomer to the hitlist, slows down the vibes once more with M.O.M. He rides a chill 808 swapping and connecting bars and thoroughly explains the meaning for this track’s acronym, “Money on my Mind”.

With an assortment of sounds that come together for a beautiful audio picturesque, KissedKilled dances around on “Come Here With Me” speaking on topics of vacation, summer love, and jealousy. It’s a short track, but an exemplary one,. Production-wise and lyrically, it hits just right. Hyping the vibes once more, TOPHILLFREDDO crashes in with “Triple Threat”, with guest appearances from DiorWhore and 1990Bishop, as well as production by the Danny Wolf himself, this track just can’t lose. Boastful bars and ostentatious production wraps this track in a neatly electric bow. Stephen Jailon, another NS veteran comes through with a new track to add to his impressive roster. “Type of Shit” starts out with infectious adlibs, followed by head-nodding lyricism and connective bars dropped all over a preserved trap beat that inspirits Jailon’s voice to shine even further. The song chops and screws towards the end for a smooth finish. 451 is next with “Sex Me Up”. The artist feeds his audience with deep synths and beautifully laid 808s underneath. 451 talks about subjects ranging from trust, sex, and staying true to his girl despite all the other distractions blowing the two of them every which way. In the artist’s mind, it’s him and her, no one else, a mindset we can all get behind. As if one banger wasn’t enough, 1990Bishop comes in hot again with another fire track. “Get Me Started”. Produced by Ronnie Choc, a long-time collaborator with the artist, Bishop follows the customary trend of the artist before him, where he speaks on loyalty, past misgivings, and being without options in a way wayward world. THREE65’s “addiction” dials the tone down a few notches. He confesses about his struggle with addiction when it comes to love as well as recreational drugs. In all aspects of his life, the artist has seemed to have dealt with addiction to some degree. The track, however, focuses mostly on his struggles with a recalcitrant woman who he’s in love with, for better or worse. Omari Night, yet another NS vet, grooves his way through the melodic masterpiece that is “Nasty”.The track features JXDYHILL and the two go back and forth, fantasizing about the whims and whiles of the girls that have caught their eye, all over a jovially chill 808 and a playful melody. TWNTYFOUR, an artist you’ve probably seen on the last Underground Playlist, is back with his new track “Oh Why”. Rapping over an instrumental created by SYKO, TWNTYFOUR speaks his confusion and anger about the distrust his partner has for him as well as his come up from the day he started to where he is today.

ROSERY HILLS asks the girl in question to tell him something he doesn’t know about her on “Maria Freestyle”. On the track he asks over a light synth beat, he flows endlessly at one point on the track and doesn’t stop for a full 30 seconds, before falling back into the subject matter of the track, which is giving him a chance to prove himself to her and vice versa. A reverse aspect hits the beat towards the end, finishing the immaculate track off nicely. Our last track on the playlist is ALVINISLAND’s self-inspired track “ALVIN WORLD”. The celebratory track boasts of luxurious cars, unfaithful partners, and proclaimed greatness. ALVINISLAND closes out our tracklist with a bouncy and satisfying end, with playful 808s and flute additions, the track wraps a neat bow on our 4th Underground Playlist.

TWNTYFOUR - Repeat

REPEAT.jpg

TWNTYFOUR is back with yet again another vibe-centered track on his new release, “Repeat”. The track takes on a darker-themed, melancholy Latin melody, overtop cozy and reassuring 808s, laid even further over a tranquil trap beat. On the track TWNTYFOUR croons with perfect vocal parallel to the instrumental, of how the woman in question shouldn’t be shy, since she’s already got him head over heels. The chorus “don’t stop for me on repeat” is straightforward yet smoothly endorses and favours the entirety the track’s ambiance and significance. “Repeat” was a complete experience to listen to, and we hope you feel the same.

This week we at Nefarious Supply are gifting you all with another list of vastly talented and woefully underrated artists. From passion-fruit to pre-game, artists such as the DKTM Collectve, mikey, Ashton, TWNTYFOUR, DWN2EARTH, G’avin, Marvin Dolo, Josh Dillon, and LNLYBOY spread their brilliance on track after track and the artistry shows.

Lucy Mourn and BLKLEXX from Maryland’s own DKTM Collective come together on the politically charged track “Black Passionfruit”, speaking on topics of their pride in black culture and how far the African American community has come in this day and age.

mikey’s track “my ways” is a reminiscent track in which the artist recollects the times when he used to be overlooked and under-booked by those who didn’t believe in his vision. However, now that he’s at the point where he is now, he still hasn’t changed what makes him him, and won’t ever switch up for anyone or anything.

Ashton and FRVRFRIDAY come together on the track “After Sunset”, with beautifully strung together 808s overtop a consistent hi-hat addition. Ashton raps about a girl that seems to always be on his mind. He expresses to her that, after sunset, he’ll try to not only figure out how deep this connection with her is, but also how to navigate through this precarious industry. FRVRFRIDAY appeals for patience and understanding, also questioning the girl in question’s trust in those around her.

TWNTYFOUR’s “Like she used to” tells a tale of a girl who seems to have lost the ability to love due to heartbreak, excessive drug use, and even instances of insomnia. As it always with with TWNTYFOUR, the production quality is outstanding and the storytelling is just as immaculate. This track is one of three on this list.

His next track, “Caribbean Devil”, is a more upbeat and Antillean anthem. The track is boastful and charismatic, whilst retaining the TWNTYFOUR standard that has persisted throughout the artist’s discography.

DWN2EARTH makes a solid appearance with his track “MUTOMBO”. The artist croons over a smooth, kicked back instrumental. DWN2EARTH croons over topics of wealth, busy schedules, and fake relationships with those who didn’t believe in his passion. The instrumental bleeds into a beat switch that adds a very pleasing finish to the superb chorale.

Gavin’s “Ashanti” samples SWV’s classic “You’re Always on My Mind”. He attributes the woman in question to Ashanti. With how she stays on his mind and how he will always be there when she needs him, Gavin swoons over her and dreams of treating her to the finest things life and give, and the love that only he can provide.

pre game” by Marvin Dolo is a deep and confident melody, speaking on his attraction to a girl who came to the pre game of party. The track goes through the motions of him thinking of things he can do and experience with her. Dolo states he’ll take his time with it, making sure she knows who she’s dealing with and what can happen if the two of them take things to the next level.

TWNTYFOUR’s final track “Maria” takes on a latin vibe overtop a heavy hitting bassline. The song sounds faintly reminiscent of Travis Scott’s “Maria, I’m Drunk”, whilst adding the artist’s unique takes on love and heartbreak. The chorus becomes immediately infectious after the second time hearing it and TWNTYFOUR uses autotune masterfully to convey his message.

Solecalibur” is a verbal play on the popular game, Soulcalibur, and Josh Dillon shines with beautiful vocal runs and smooth hitting lyrics overtop a groovy laidback instrumental. The artist gets vulnerable with his own insecurities, while also playing to his strengths when it comes to the girl who plagues him day in and day out. He expresses his confusion with his own feelings but comes to terms with the fact that even though he doesn’t want to, he needs her.

The final track on this list comes from our very own LNLYBOY. “ALONE” is a self-reflective track contemplating on feelings of loneliness and the grind of coming up in the music industry, as well as LNLY’s changed behavior after reaching the heights of recognition he’s achieved. It is a short track but heavy with the subject matter at hand, wrapping a beautiful bow on our underground episode.

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!

Twntyfour

Give us a general description of you as an artist. What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours?

I go by the name of Twntyfour, I’ve always been a hiphop fan and I always used to rap along to songs from Drake to Eminem or YE. And I got to a point where I came across FL Studio and I started making remixes of Drake songs with Chris Brown or something like that. Of course it sounded bad but it was the beginning of me experimenting with music, I started making beats like 4 years ago which I didn’t stick to because I was tired of making instrumentals which didn’t have no vocals to it. So two years ago I decided to pick up the mic, and that’s when I started rapping.

How has your experience in the industry been thus far?

Its hard being in this industry, no hand out, gotta figure it all out by yourself. I’m not there yet, but I don’t mind cause I love the grind, I feel hungry, And iknow if I keep working the way I am I will get there. But for now its just hard work, trying to build connections and get my name out there.

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?

Well, i know how important music is to me like music helps me get thru certain times of my life good and dark times, and I’ve been getting DM’s from people telling me I help them get thru there day with my music and I value that alot. I also had people telling me I inspired them to start making music or inspired them to keep pushing even if they didnt feel like it. I like to see how I can motivate people and that’s something that makes me smile when I read it.

This is why i feel like making music important, to inspire and motivate. 

What do you think personally sets you apart from the rest of your peers in the music industry? What do you bring to the industry that you believe no one else has the ability to bring?

I feel like I’m a very versatile artist, I got tracks with bars, I got love songs, I got club bangers and the list is only gonna grow from here. And yes I’m not a singer but I feel like I use autotune in a different way then alot of artists out there. 

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?

Well, this a good question, at the moment I’m featured on a song from my bro HiddenHills called “Slide Thru” which is extremely catchy and I can already tell its going to be a big thing. But it’s not out yet, I do have this song called “Moodswings” featuring my bro Omari Night which is by far the most streamed song I got out at the moment. Play this at the club and I know for a fact that people gonna love it.

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening?

I feel like as I said I’m very versatile. I think the variation is what keeps my people/fans listening. They never know what’s coming next. It’s like the mystery they want to unravel. Also the people who listen to my music know I come with quality, so they know I won’t let them down.

#DRAMACHALLENGE TAG AN ARTIST 🗣

A post shared by ᵀʷⁿᵗʸᶠᵒᵘʳ ²⁴ (@iamtwntyfour) on

Who do you listen to on a regular basis?

I used to listen to alot of mainstream artists such as Travis Scott, Drake, Tory Lanez, Migos , Kanye West just to name a few, but as I started to dive into Soundcloud a little more I started listening to some more people who aren’t mainstream yet. Such as Frvrfriday, hrtbrkfever, Kdence, b1uan. I recently created a playlist which I’m trying to update daily with these artists covered. You should definetly check it out and drop a follow, it’s called “selectedby24”

Are these the same people who inspire your sound? Or are there other factors that come into play?

Most of them yes, Drake was always a big inspiration for me he’s been in the game for over 10 years now, YE aswell, also love the Yeezys. But I think Travis inspired me to start using my voice and combine it with autotune. As of now Frvrfriday and Hrtbrkfever are like a big inspiration for me as i listen to there music alot lately. And I’m blessed to say that I made the artwork for their next song which is dropping soon.

What do you think is the most important aspect of music as a concept, personally and objectively? 

I think making people smile and help people thru their days is one of the most important things for me. Being able to inspire and motivate is just amazing. 

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

All I gotta say is if you want to make it, u got to believe in yourself and give this your 100% cause it’s not an easy job. Also learn who to take advice from, you might have friends who tell you oh, you gotta do this and that but at the end of the day you gotta ask yourself if they got the knowledge or experience. And if you should take the advice or leave it. And lastly if you maintain, progress and keep grinding, all your hard work will pay off when the time is right. All you gotta do is believe in yourself.

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