Orlando alt-hip hop artist Jaxon Pryce released this high powered track earlier this month and the featured presence of Iranian rapper Baxter Still immediately made Two Forces stand out. Heavily addressing the harsh restrictions on music and performance in Iran, especially rap and hip hop, Jaxon and Baxter combine their salt to give us this high octane and politically potent anthem for free expression. A lyrical tour-de-force, Two Forces can be interpreted quite literally and the product of this equation is perfection. Check out Two Forces by Jaxon Pryce and Baxter Still below and hear for you ..read more

The latest release from hard rock artist Ryan James Clark, this track is a potent and high energy concoction of grunge, hard rock, and even a little bit of thrash metal. Indeed, the authenticity of Aligned is apparent from start to finish and is, as the artist describes it, “epically inspired, independently written, performed, produced, and mixed” by the artist himself. A grinding and groovy instrumental provides a vibe and sound that is almost hair-metal-adjacent in its flamboyant and cinematic delivery. The single cover could use a less literal reference to the lyrics, but this track is hard ..read more

“The halfway point of the album and lead single is titled Whiplash. Whiplash is a come to moment. The moment when everything clicks. When you’re in your element.” US hip hop artist John Alex Harper released this fire blend of conscious and old school hip hop early this month and fans are loving it so far, with some commenting on the smooth it is. And indeed the vocal delivery is slick but in a way that feels easy and relaxed. The overall vibe of Whiplash is astonishingly laid back and sinks into its own perfection like warm butter. Lyrically, John Alex Harper manages to achieve a catchiness ..read more

“Die Kammer was founded in December 2011. Since then, the duo has been working together in changing line-ups with a wide variety of musicians. In the first few years, the focus was on purely acoustic realisation. With the conclusion of Season IV, the 10th anniversary of the project and also the caesura caused by the pandemic, this focus changed to electronic support in the form of loops and beats and the associated expansion of the Kammer sound. The Kammer has always been active live in various formations. Their own solo shows and club tours, support tour with Schandmaul, support tour with Le ..read more

“Chris Cachia is a Canadian music-maker and word-shaper in the tradition of those golden-age Hip Hop emcees who focus on lyricism to address social issues, tell stories, and enact the power and pleasure of language.” “Word-shaper” is a perfectly succinct way to describe Canadian artist Chris Cachia’s musical style and lyrical prowess and this latest track is a powerful example of that. Abandoning any sort of formulaic approach to hip hop, Hot and Cold is a relentlessly clever and impeccably written collection of bars that have an almost freestyle or stream-of-consciousness vibe. Managing to ..read more

The newest single from Austrian deathcore band Praeya, Decay was released late last month and has an accompanying music video that is just as attention grabbing as the track itself. Blending together visuals and audio cues, Praeya succeeds in creating a combined sense of claustrophobia that really brings the track’s repeatedly whispered lyric “I can’t breathe” to life for the listener. With grinding guitar riffs and a relentless thundering instrumental composition throughout, Decay is a powerful sonic journey. Check it out below!
