Makk - Sloppy Freestyle

Lebanese underground rapper Makk is bringing that drowned out wavey Hip Hop that needs to be added to your smokers playlist. Heavily inspired by Earl Sweatshirt and the late Mac Miller, Makk has mastered his craft in verse and is quickly gaining love overseas.

Shai Nowell - Sunkissed (Ft. Nai Br.xx)

‘Sunkissed’ featuring sultry vocalist Nai Br.xx is the first track written and produced by Atlanta artist Shai Nowell off his latest EP ‘Please Tame Me’. The track sounds like the beautiful lovechild of Metronomy and Outkast, with elements of bright electronic Pop sounds and sweet breathy vocals. Nowell’s latest full project Please Tame Me carries on this characteristic with it’s many blends of style and is noted by the artist as being “a jukebox of the producer/songwriter mind”.

Formerly known as Shai Neon, Shai Nowell explores his own his psyche with his first project “Please Tame Me” EP. “Please Tame Me” is not in a traditional format that most musical projects are. Even though it is written and produce by Shai Nowell (With the exception of “Red Eye” which was written by Rob Olu), Shai does not sing on every song. He expresses himself via features of artist’s that he sees fit. Each feature is an important piece of the painting. From bright summer songs with female vocals, to emotional ballads with dreamy guitars decorated across chords. Representative of his love to many different genres and cultures, “Please Tame Me” is not bound to one single sound. It is a jukebox of the producer/songwriter mind.

NigHtlight= - XXX

Brighton based Nightlight= is a new artist on my radar that I’m glad popped up. The artists latest track ‘XXX’ is a Trap-Soul number full of raw emotion and a great introduction to Nightlight=’s repertoire.

The hit mixes sensual R&B tones with Electronic production to provide a unique blend that explores the three fundamental S’s - sensuality, soulfulness and sexuality.
