Serena Isioma - Move (ft. Hatesonny)

“I don’t even like the club, but I like my check too loud I’m up.”

Serena Isioma has been a longtime Nefarious Supply favorite, and her release of the sleek and beautifully deliberate EP, Sensitive has rightfully put her on the map as a rising artist for Chicago to most definitely keep her eye on.

As standout singles such as Sensitive and Valentina show Serena’s versatility has an RnB artist in her field, being able to switch between different styles of flow and tackle different and often difficult topics lyrically with ease, and even a sense of finesse, Move, featuring fellow upcoming artist, Hatesonny, takes the cake for us.

The supple and prominent production underneath both artists’ vocals adds a sense of buoyancy for Serena and Hatesonny to ride, in which they do perfectly. On the track Serena laments the club but goes anyway because why not when your bank account’s full? Hatesonny slides on like the deuteragonist in a buddy cop movie, throwing alley-oops back and forth to Serena throughout the remainder of the track and as the three minutes and twelve seconds reach that last note you’re filled with a sense of nostalgia, longing, and satisfaction, all in one.

Amaka Quenette - Ceilings

“It’s a fine night to feel infinite, but we’re infinitely finite”

These are turbulent times of social, political, and ethical strife within America, and the continuous revealing of the terrible deeds this country has dealt to its citizens time and time again, especially towards the black community. Black women are left disrespected and unprotected on all fronts, these individuals being the same ones on the front line, fighting for justice. Our black men are being lynched right in front of our very eyes, and no one is doing anything.

We’re in a trying time right now. But there is no fault in slowing down, if only a little. Amaka Queenette allows us to do just that, with her track, Ceilings.

Amaka wraps up the explanation of her track, Ceilings, beautifully within the chorus, stating that though it is a fine night to feel infinite, we’re still infinitely finite, our mortality and beautiful identity as humans brings will always ground us in our realities, and keep our minds clear on the path ahead, whether its to love, happiness, or justice.

The reason I believe this song is necessary, is to remind us who the real enemy is, as well as who we need to protect, and support. Let’s ground ourselves and shield our black women, let’s come together, and let’s push towards an infinitely brighter future.

HRTBRKFEVER - Low X3 (ft. WAVUP)

“gotta keep this on the low low low”

HRTBRKFEVER debuts on Nefarious Supply with his single Low x3, with accompanying trap artist, WAVUP. The track plays around with the theme behind HRTBRKFEVER’s sound, love and lost. Being a hopeless romantic, himself, Low x3 rebrands the concept of being “lowkey”.

The vocalist serenades a third party, expressing how his partner thinks he’s unnecessary for wanting to keep his relationship private, especially considering how he’s soon to blow up in the music industry, something he disagrees with.

HRTBRK is known to dwell within the realm of love, surrounding his tracks’ themes and concepts. This manifests itself in different ways, but the message within is usually clear to see, all without breaking the vibe and mood the dreamy instrumental creates.

Low x3 is a foundational and confident introduction to the world of HRTBRKFEVER, one filled with love and yes, heartbreak.
