Jpaulished - Hold It Down
This song is about finding a girl that is going to "Hold it Down" meaning she is going to stay true to the relationship. She isn't going to be like other girls that cheat on you when you're out of town. I'm putting this girl through a test to make sure that she'll stay loyal.
Black Dylan - Don't Wanna Be Alone
Following the successful launch for their debut album Hey Stranger in summer 2016 (including BBC Radio 2 & BBC London playlistings, live appearance on ITV’s Weekend with Aled Jones & front page feature in Blues & Soul Magazine), Black Dylan return with their new single Don’t Wanna Be Alone.
It’s an uptempo and energetic track, delivering a sensitive message with a foot-tappingly good mood, incorporating horns and dynamic classic synth stabs to give the song a playful and captivating groove. Yet again Nuplex proves his skills as an eloquent soul producer which, combined with Wafande’s distinctive and unique vocals, makes Don’t Wanna Be Alone a strikingly punchy tune.
Wafande describes the song as "...a very relevant song that deals with loneliness, which I think is a huge social problem. Both the loneliness that comes when people live their lives through their iPhones and iPads, but also those who are so lonely that they do not have family or friends”.
Black Dylan recently performed live on the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s Big Christmas TV Show and in January at Eurosonic Festival in The Netherlands. This summer they will play at Cornbury Festival in the UK, with more shows to be announced soon.
Don’t Wanna Be Alone will be available on Friday 31st March 2017.

Shem Bey - Major
On his second wind Shem Bey has summoned the energy to produce another work. This track produced by Flying Lotus entails the terms of his psyche as he unfolds social constructs and personal issues. Nothing major for an artist who faces his existence individually as his own biggest competitor.
Cam Archer - On The Way
After nearly one calendar year since his last release, Cam Archer returns with the Nabeyin porduced On The Way. While visiting New York for a radio appearance, Archer let his creativity flow over a soulful cut from his OE/Chill Palace Affiliate Nabeyin.

Lou The Human - Brink
Brooklyn born Lou The Human is a 20 year old rapper of Puerto Rican/Italian/French/Peruvian descent. 'Brink' has been featured on iTunes Hot Tracks, XXL, and 2dopeboyz among others, and his debut EP 'Humaniac' is due within two months.
Lou approaches this song and his forthcoming EP like he's Heath Ledger playing The Joker - a sick character mixing comedy and darkness.
From Lou: ''Once you realize life's a joke you kinda become a comedian'
King Magnetic - Alone (feat. Masta Ace, Slug & DJ Eclipse)
On his brand-new banger “Alone,” King Magnetic trades fiery verses with two living rap legends, Slug (of Atmosphere) and Masta Ace, over hard-hitting production from Khrysis. Making the cipher complete is Queens’ own DJ Eclipse, who provides the slick scratches on the hook.
The release of “Alone” follows two other heaters off Mag’s upcoming album, Everything Happens 4 A Reason: the symphonic slapper, “I’ll Show You” featuring Cappadonna and Dink, and the project’s inaugural leak, “Cash 4 Catastrophe” which was accompanied with a video.
Just as fans enjoyed the real-talk of “Cash,” we’re treated to Hip-Hop in its purest form on “Alone.” Of course, we have King Mag and his teeth-gritting bars to thank for that, in addition to the always-sharp rhymes of his guests. Slug and Ace are the type of elder-rap statesmen who haven’t once lost a step in their decades-long careers, whether they’re talking their sh*t or serving up wisdom.
The two provide a fine offering of both on “Alone” alongside King Mag, who in addition to his upcoming album is getting ready to hit the road soon. He’ll be touring alongside Wu-Tang Clan heavyweight Cappadonna, and up-and-comer Recognize Ali.
“Alone” can now be played through all major streaming outlets, and is available for download as the third and final instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for EH4AR, which drops next Friday (3/31) through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms via King Mag Music.

Banger @BiggWurm82 "Kiddin Me" [808 Mafia]
Bigg Wurm is finally back after taking a break. Perfect timing if you ask me. With so much going on behind the scene with Wurm, I really hope the world ready. His new record “Kiddin Me” produced by 808 Mafia shows off a new Bigg Wurm. He changed up the flow and came more aggressive on his delivery. With this new vibe he’s giving his audience. I really feel he will connect with the youth better. Bigg Wurm has a talent of painting a vision for listeners. Coming from Rocky Mount, NC isn’t easy. Wurm has been thru alot. Not to mention his town was flooded late last year.. Right now it’s about bouncing back for Bigg Wurm. Peep the record below.
