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.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Ian Matthew - "Ashtray"

Beyond creating good music, the most vital characteristic in any artist is - in my opinion - growth. And growth comes in many forms but, more often than not, the greatest growth comes from recognizing shortcomings; from falling and getting back up, learning from the highs and lows of the evolutionary process. "Ashtray" is the first joint I've heard from Ian Matthew that makes me feel like dude is truly stepping into his own artistically. And I mean that with the utmost respect. The latest drop from the CT-based artist features Ian taking a few big steps back from a stereotypical, bar-heavy hip-hop sound, instead embracing a smooth style that is highlighted by some passionate crooning. And, man, it works really  well. Backed by some light acoustic production, Ian is able to allow the emotion to emanate from his vocals, capturing the attention of the listener with his raw delivery. There are enough emcees filling records with catch-as-catch-can lyrical prowess, ma...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his  Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life.  Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...
