GRiZ - "A New Day" (feat. Matisyahu)

With Ride Waves set to drop on April 5th, and a nationwide tour kicking off in March, GRiZ returns with our next taste of what's to come upon release of his forthcoming album. The 4th single off the new tape features the Detroit-bred artist linking with Matisyahu to cook up a meaningful - yet still funky, bright and uplifting - record that finds its roots in hope and change.

Brought to life following the Parkland school shooting last year, GRiZ and Matisyahu pieced together "A New Day" to spark the necessary dialogue while also helping people move from a place of despair and enter a state of hopefulness. We can't sit in our darkness forever and a song that finds a pristine balance of deep message and fun energy helps to bring people into the light. After all, it's only light that can drown out the darkness.

The new drop is highlighted by the unique juxtaposition of sound brought forth by GRiZ and Matisyahu, their varied styles coming together to result in a well-balanced final product. With GRiZ's instrumentation laying the foundation, the multi-talented Matisyahu is left to fill "A New Day" with his striking, soulful delivery.

"A New Day" is available now on all major streaming platforms. For more information on Ride Waves pre-order and tour information, head here.

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...

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:
