Coline Creuzot debuted the video for her soulful single, “Dead End”. Written by Coline and Troy “R8dio” Johnson (Solange, Chris Brown) the Motown inspired song finds Coline crooning against a Los Angeles skyline.
“Dead End was inspired by relationships, the failure of them and how hard it is to feel complete again once it’s on a one-way road,” says Coline. “This song talks about the disappointment and the heartbreak of realizing in that moment, forever doesn’t always last. You have to learn how to move forward.”

GET RATED FINALIST #1: YOUNG TY FREESTYLE http://grmdaily.com/video/get-rated-youngty-freestyle
His debut single ‘No Love’ is the first off his debut EP (chalked for release in spring ’19) and is produced by the hotly tipped producer Hazard, whose credits include Mist and Krept & Konan. The radio friendly track mixes things up with an Afro-Swing beat, Young TY’s drill delivery and even some singing hooks in the chorus. All this is based around the classic TLC ‘No Scrubs’ guitar lick replayed and sampled in the studio. Explaining why he chose this song to sample and release first, Young Ty explains:
"Growing up as a kid my mum used to play a lot of classic RnB tracks which where my early influences, so with my first single I wanted to bring something different to the scene. I love the Afro-Swing scene but I wanted to do a track that could appeal to everyone young and old. A lot of MC's are rapping about money, designer clothes and girls - so I thought why not have my own spin on the way girls used to diss but now they love me because they see how hard I'm grinding”

Toronto by-way-of Paris, Steven Vidal aka STWO has teamed up with Roy Woods, one of OVO Sound’s key players, to release “You, World, or Myself via Ultra Records - LISTEN HERE.

After ‘Neither do I Feat. Jeremih’, I wanted to make something more light and when I made the beat I thought of Roy Woods right away, really happy with it, it worked out perfectly,” shares STWO.

Wu Tang affiliate and Sunz of Man member, Prodigal Sunn, gets ready to release his new album- “Redeemed.”
Bennie "DJ B.Original” Williams of Sound Unity Entertainment produced and mixed the album. Guest features include Killah Priest on "Kings County,” G.O.D. Father Pt.3 on "One Way Out,” and XP the Marxman & Timbo King on "No Tears.”
“Redeemed,” is also the title of the first single.
Kye from the band says, "Our new track is about being young and adventurous… It’s about doing things you’re not supposed to be doing and going a bit crazy. We hope the song functions as a reminder to capture the moments when you’re in them and to always live in the now.”
Saving Forever. Chicago-born, Los Angeles-based sibling band Saving Forever create exuberant, genre-bending dance-rock. Formed on the south side of Chicago when they were not yet teens, Saving Forever feature the impressive talents of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist brothers Khaden, Kye and Kavah. Encouraged by their parents to get into music at a young age, the brothers’ musical journeys began when their classically trained grandmother taught them how to play the Beethoven and Bach on piano - as mere four-year-olds.
After being discovered by L.A Reid, releasing a couple of singles, and collaborating with their idols Maroon 5 and Fall Out Boy - Saving Forever was picked as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month and were featured on NBC's Today show where they performed their single ‘Million Ways’ on live broadcast.
Now, the three musically gifted brothers - are back with their new single ‘Memories’. With a high-energy vibe and an anthem feel to it, Saving Forevers’ ‘Memories’ makes us want to sing along, go wild and create some memories - right now.
Following the success of his last single ‘Freaky’, which was championed by Complex, The FADER, i-D Magazine, BBC 1Xtra,Hunger Magazine, Spotify, Apple Music, Soulection and Hype Machine, among others, exciting genre-bending rapper and vocalist SANTI returns with an exuberant music video for his brand new single titled ‘RAPID FIRE’ featuring award-winning South African emcee SHANE EAGLE and Ghanaian alté newcomer AMAARAE, as premiered via Dummy Magazine.
Produced by longtime collaborator and one quarter of Santi’s tight-knit Monster Boys crew, Genio, ‘Rapid Fire’ sees Santi, Shane Eagle and Amaarae delivering on an exciting fusion of dancehall grooves, captivating brag-raps and nostalgic R&B licks, and the accompanying music video, which was shot in South Africa and Nigeria, brings the record further to life. Directed by Santi himself, the visuals explore themes of freedom and rage, and make for gripping viewing from start to finish.
Shane Eagle sets the track off, with his absurdist charm, delicately delivered bars, and a swift rap flow, over a canoodling loop and delayed snares that expand into something beyond magical once the drums kick in. The chief conductor Santi then takes the lead, serving top shotta lyrics and toasting up the mic in a fashion that salutes the old skool era that birthed his style, and Amaarae elevates the vibe even further, as her voice purrs, while she narrates youthful takes with an old soul’s flair.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the ‘Rapid Fire’ music video, Santi says, “the video for ‘Rapid Fire’ is a piece expressing exuberance, freedom and rage. The video centres around a gang called ‘The Lost Boys’, and the exact aim of the video was to show freedom from a group of people who were necessarily never understood by society but continued on their quest to find themselves while enjoying and grasping the ups and downs of life”.

Los Angeles-based producer Party Favor returns to cap off a massive 2018 with his latest single "Blame", an emotive, stadium-sized anthem featuring Miami-based singer/songwriter Naïka. Party Favor delivers his signature and bass-heavy instrumentals, complementing by Naïka's ephemeral and emotive vocals. The single's artwork depicts its cathartic, in-the-moment vibe with an out-of-focus close-up of Party Favor's forearm tattoo that reads "enjoy the journey". "Blame" is out today via Mad Decent.
"This record was such a long time coming," Party Favor explains, noting the track finally came together once Naïka was brought on board. "The beat for this song was made over a year ago. We tried so many different vocalists/lyrics and finally found the right fit with Naïka. She captures the vibe so perfectly. Really proud of this record and think it's a great fit for Mad Decent. Excited to be working with them again on another release!"
Party Favor boasts one of the most diverse and accomplished resumes in the industry as an DJ, producer and boundary-pushing artist.

Directed by Luke Biggins, the video features cameo appearances from Lisa Mafia, Oxide & Neutrino, Lonyo, Kyla, Shystie, Ms Banks, Spoony, Leanne (from Sweet Female Attitude) and Richard Blackwood.
Produced by AdotSkitz and EY, Pour Me Another One samples the 2000 released Garage classic and chart hit, Flowers by Sweet Female Attitude. The release is a timely nod to Krept & Konan’s recent sold out headline show at Alexandra Palace, home to many iconic UK Garage nights during the noughties.
Aside from selling out the 10,000+ capacity Alexandra Palace, and two nights at the Kentish Town Forum, 2018 has seen Krept & Konan shut down the main stages at Wireless and Reading & Leeds Festivals over the summer, star in the highly anticipated independent film Intent 2 (alongside Adam Deacon, Ghetts and Dancehall superstar, Popcaan), launch their #PlayDirtyRadio show on Beats 1, and spearhead a Hennessy campaign encompassing a collaboration with Slaves recorded live at Abbey Road Studios.
All this alongside launching their own restaurant, Crepes & Cones in their home town of Croydon, with accompanying track Crepes & Cones ft Mostack.
Their exceptional year to date follows hot on the heels of Krept & Konan making chart history in 2017 with the release of mixtapes 7 DAYS and 7 NIGHTS when they became the first act ever to have two mixtapes simultaneously enter the Top 10 of the Official UK Albums chart.
Krept & Konan’s Pour Me Another One ft. Tabitha is released via DefJam in the U.S. and Virgin EMI in the U.K. and the rest of the world.
Melanie Taylor is a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter whose time has come to leap off the page into the limelight. This distinguished alt-pop performer mixes electro-pop elements into her 90s influenced style, creating a world of her own. Gaining inspiration from the late and great Michael Jackson, she's living proof that the best thing you can ever be in life, is yourself. Her unique approach to songwriting opens a portal of authenticity that listeners gravitate towards through her intoxicating ideas.
Melanie Taylor’s roots are grounded in San Diego, CA. She was an only child raised by a single working mother, which meant a lot of daycare and time left to entertain herself. Melanie found solace in classic pop records like Mariah Carey and Alanis Morissette, which guided her in the right direction by giving her a vision of her untapped potential. Childhood was lonely at times, but once she was introduced to theater, she found belonging in her theater families. Even now, she treats her audience like brothers and sisters, morphing the stage into her true home. She strives to consistently break out of her shell, opening herself up to vulnerability by allowing self-reflection and acceptance. Melanie began her artist development in 2012 with her debut record All About Today, which was later followed by her self-titled album in 2016. She most recently put her pen back onto paper with her 2018 singles “Ink” and “Adderall,” as she comes to terms with a need for commitment (in “Ink”) and a need for release (in “Adderall”).
Melanie Taylor graces the streets of Hollywood in her official music video for “Adderall.” Quickly transitioning to contrasting shots of her draped in white, her internal discourse becomes overbearing, influencing her erratic actions. With a bare face, her pure raw energy creeps to the surface which was once internally manifested. Screaming up to God, she begs for answers that come in the form of an interpretive dance. As she watches from the back of an empty theater, the isolation becomes all-encompassing. Melanie hits her own personal rock bottom and breaks her cycle of self-destruction by becoming aware of the hurtful relationship she's in, ultimately putting an end to the abuse she's endured, the drug leaving it's addict."
Self-described “Afro-tina” Reiana Fernandez – known to the world as Simply Rayne – didn’t come out of the womb singing. This 20-year-old’s journey to success has been steeped in hard work and self-possession. She was raised on classics like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Al Green, Diana Ross and Etta James, and on her own explored modern icons like Michael Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Prince, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Mary J. Blige, and Lauryn Hill. But her number one influence is none other than the queen herself: Beyoncé.
Simply Rayne hit the ground running with her career: her 2013 debut single earned her radio play in Australia, and in 2016 she began a working relationship with the production duo The KlubJumpers, who have 80 Billboard-charting songs and numerous Gold and Platinum Records to their name. She’s shared the stage with such diverse artists as G-Eazy, Steve Aoki, Lil Wayne, Migos, funk icons Lakeside, and Khalid, and performed two years in a row at the Mala Luna Music Festival. She’s made numerous live TV appearances and appears as herself in the upcoming independent romantic comedy film The Margarita Man. With faith-based ethos and unflinching optimism, Rayne strives to set a positive example as a multi-cultural young woman, and has earned the title of “Teen Vogue Ambassador”; had cover features in ReFocused Magazine and ChicaGirl; being a Bold Favor Award Honoree, in recognition of amazing leadership in the entertainment field, and being named a City of San Antonio Youth Ambassador.
Following the empowering urban anthem “How We Do” and the smoldering, soulful ballad “Need To Know”, Simply Rayne’s latest offering is the irresistible tropical soul-pop single “Don’t Stop”, which likens the bliss of dancing to the carefree purity of new love. Produced by the KlubJumpers, it’s a balmy, sun-kissed track bursting with urban swagger. While her love of hip-hop and R&B shines, the featured verse by Baby Bash also adds a hint of Latin flavor. In the “Don’t Stop” video, Rayne takes influence from Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Shakira, and of course Beyoncé in her moves, as she encourages her love interest to never stop dancing. She says of the song and video, “The meaning of my song ‘Don’t Stop’refers to keeping the flame in a relationship alive- don’t stop loving and caring for me. The concept of the video incorporates my multicultural background, strong sisterhood, and of course a love interest with an underlying theme of sassy female empowerment. I would describe the making of the video as enthusiastically fun and uplifting.”
As her current single “Hurts Like Hell” continues to be added to radio stations across the country, independent pop singer-songwriter Madison Beer has unveiled the accompanying music video featuring Offset today. Watch the full video HERE
Working alongside director Mike Harris, Beer executively produced and co-wrote the creative for the video which was shot in Simi Valley. The video makes it clear that she is in control and has never been more confident as an artist.
“I had such a clear vision of what I wanted to do for this video and it was such a rewarding experience working alongside Mike Harris and having him help take my ideas and make them a reality, far surpassing what I had expected. I am so grateful for his brilliance and professionalism as a director and could not be happier with how the video turned out. I was inspired by witchcraft and felt that it perfectly fit with the theme of the song, which is about teaching someone a lesson. I’m so happy Offset was involved in this project and was able to bring such an incredible energy to the video.”
Described by Complex Magazine as “Madison’s biggest track to date,” “Hurts Like Hell” was released last Friday and has already been added to countless playlists across streaming providers.
“Hurts Like Hell” comes hot on the heels of the success of Madison’s previous single “Home With You”, which made music history when it peaked within the Top 20 of US Top 40 radio chart, making Beer the first independent female solo artist to ever do so.
Madison Beer is an independent artist breaking in a major way. Her debut EP, “As She Pleases” (which spawned “Home With You”, “Say It To My Face” and “Dead”), has notched up over 400 million combined streams since its release in February. Her Spring/ Summer 2018 headline worldwide tour sold out within minutes of going on sale, while her first ever festival performance at Lollapalooza over the summer was lauded by critics.
This year has also seen Madison make her late-night debut on The Late Late Show With James Corden; feature in Billboard’s coveted “21 Under 21” list of top musicians in 2018; guest on David Guetta’s “7”album; perform alongside Liam Gallagher at Milan fashion Week A/W 2018; grace the covers of numerous magazines worldwide (including, most recently, Flaunt magazine); launch her own clothing collection (with leading online womenswear retailer missguided); and be enlisted as the face of a Bulgari fragrance campaign. All in addition performing live to an audience of 80 million viewers at the Riot Games World Championships Event last week in celebration of her feature on K/DA’s debut track “POP/STARS” which has topped iTunes charts in over 16 territories worldwide within 72 hours.
Madison Beer – who has partnered with First Access Entertainment and is distributed through AWAL – is a fully independent artist consistently praised for her trailblazing efforts and her passion for creating music that empowers listeners. Her huge, engaged and ever growing fanbase, (evident from her 2.6million+ followers on Twitter, and eye-popping 10. 5 million+ on Instagram), regard her as a pioneer of the ‘Girl Boss’ generation.
All eyes are on Madison as fans look to her first full length studio debut, set for release in 2019.
