Raz Simone - "Forever Don't Last" (Video)

Raz Simone ended 2018 with his Christmas themed "Santa Claus" but he's quickly returning to the Still Love saga for his first release of 2019.

With the new album on the way, Simone uses "Forever Don't Last" to provide listeners with another perspective of love, adding to the growing spectrum he has presented thus far with "Dancing With My Heart" and "Isn't Love". Continuing to use his personal experiences and lessons to his advantage, Raz has been able to vividly portray varying expressions of love, demonstrating the powerful capability of love to come forth in countless forms.

Love is beautiful, confusing, inspiring, motivating, painful and so much more. It has the ability to lift you up and break you down. For that reason, you have to stay mindful and be aware of the presence of love in your life - and be careful not to mistake real love for an illusion of love.

On "Forever Don't Last", Simone is utilizing the traditional concept of love between two people to capture and symbolize a wider, more all-encompsing portrayal of love. Riding through the vast openness of isolation, decked out in a tux with a wedding dress hanging out the car, Simone attacks the production with revelations about his own life. The content filling the track covers a wide range of topics, from his street life to his son and the concern and warnings from his family.

In life, you need to recognize when to let go of certain people - lovers, friends, brothers, family, business partners, etc. The "love" may remain, but their presence in your life and the sharing of energy needs to be removed. As the Jacob Hill-shot visual demonstrates, the physical relationship does not need to last forever.

Love yourself enough to cut ties with the toxic energies in your life.

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. Others, like Abiyah and Ceschi , transcend past the mere blending of styles to offer up sonic manifestations that manage to defy any sort of genre all together. Despite countless journalistic attempts to compartmentalize via labels, the music stands on its own foundation, blasting through the speakers free of any label or definitive denomination. This genre-less creative approach is strikingly evident with the Cincinnati-based artist's "Champion Plaque", a new single featuring Ceschi that was first imagined in 2015. The free-flowing delivery of vivid, picturesque storytelling from both artists acknowledges the saturation of inauthentic people permeating our daily lives. Abundant in subject matter that is relatable while also forcing listeners to take an uncomfortable look in the mirror, "Champion Plaque" is a call to action, tearing away at...

Grieves - "Beethoven"

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...

Aaron May - "I'm Good Luv, Enjoy"

You gotta be wary of the people who pop up after your glow-up, especially if they're acting like they've been rocking with you for the long haul. Houston-based Aaron May chronicles this sentiment throughout "I'm Good Luv, Enjoy", an anthem for anyone looking to curve the people in their life chasing the shine. Over the course of the new record, Aaron pulls no punches as he displays the fine art of ducking and dodging the women attracted to his buzz. It's a coolheaded, poised bop that features grutty, clashing, self-produced instrumentation. The production syncs nicely with the energy of May's delivery and content, the track serving as a sonic "left on read", abundant in an imperious confidence that struts upon the fine line separating ego and self-love. "I'm Good Luv, Enjoy" is available now on all major streaming platforms. Press play below.
