Zhero - "Strawbridge" [prod. Matthew Cyr] [MUSIC]


A couple years ago, when I was writing for a different website, I was fortunate enough to cross paths with CT-based artist Zhero. Right off the jump, I was captivated by the ambiguous, prowrestling-esque storyline surrounding Zhero and his music/releases. Props to Albert for the introduction. 

Fast forward to today and that old website is a thing of the past (RIP). But, praise the musical Gods, Zhero is not only still here creating music, he's managed to grow in regards to his artistry, touching on new waves sonically with his latest release, "Strawbridge". 

Granted, I am/was a big fan of Zhero's "rap" music, but I've got an invite to a super kick party for anyone telling dude to "rap more". Let Zhero create whatever his heart moves him to create...and I'ma be here enjoying the ride he takes listeners on. With "Strawbridge", Zhero croons over a fairly stripped down track, which leaves plenty of room for his vocals to breathe. Backed by the simple Matthew Cyr-produced instrumental, one gets a sense of the urgency and emotion in his voice.

"Strawbridge", which features beautiful additional guitar from Natalie Green, is available via SoundCloud, Apple Music, and Spotify

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older.  It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables.  Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project. 

Raz Simone - "Your Hands" [prod. Antwon Vinson] (Video)

Often times in life, the hardest lessons to learn are the ones that lead to the greatest amount of personal growth and expansion. And, of course, it's always best to learn first hand, through experience, rather than through second hand story telling. Let's be honest, someone can drop knowledge on you time and time again but we, as humans, have a tendency to ignore that wisdom unless the Universe hits us with some personal experience.  Regardless, on "Your Hands", Raz Simone takes it upon himself to share his experience with anyone willing to listen - not necessarily to benefit the listener, but to put into perspective his D.T.A. ( don't trust anyone)  mentality.  Shortly after the release of "Your Hands", Raz tweeted the following:  "I genuinely don't expect a thing from another person but betrayal. I still keep hope and love for everyone tho. More and more from afar." While this may come across as a negative, pessimis
