ender toi - "closer"


LA-based artist ender toi welcomes in the New Year with the release of "closer", a wondrously moving ballad that is as sonically pleasing as it is chill inducing. The song features toi's soft, calming vocals coupled with soothing harmonizing, both of which dance upon the elegantly understated instrumentation.

According to toi, "closer" is a song he composed a year ago and will not serve as a single. Regardless, I'm grateful he liberated the track for our listening pleasure. For those looking for more from toi, head to Apple Music or Spotify to stream his latest single, "Love".

Enjoy "closer" below.

Abiyah - "Champion Plaque" (feat. Ceschi) [prod. Possible Address]

Some artists are adept at creating music that blends genres, the resulting product sounding unique in its own right.

After dropping off a visual last week, Grieves is back with yet another fresh cut in the form of "Beethoven". Grieves floats over the smooth, atmospheric production, lacing "Beethoven" with confident delivery as he demonstrates a growing sense of self-awareness. And this is saying something, as longtime listeners will recognize the already introspective nature of his extensive catalogue of music. With "Beethoven", the Seattle-based wordsmith plants his focus firmly on his own vision and craft, silencing and rising above the naysayers casting doubt on the man and his music. The record is littered with layered wordplay and substance, once again putting on display the depth of talent that exists within Grieves and the art he creates. Hopefully this string of new music is a sign that we'll be on the receiving end of a project from the Rhymesayers-representative this year, his first since the release of  Running Wild in 2017.  "Beethoven...

On this day we become legendary...

As an avid proponent of all things Kanye West, people frequently ask me why I'm such a strong supporter of Mr. West - both the man and his music. I'm sure someday I'll share a long, wordy response...but until then, this video pretty much encapsulates how Kanye has influenced my life and why I speak so strongly in favor of the man, his beliefs and his music:
