Noé - "Puzzles"


We got our first taste of Noé last month with the release of "Pity Party" and now the alluring songstress is back with another self-depreciating and bluntly tongue-in-cheek bop to keep listeners full until her debut project drops sometime this year. Balancing the twisted humor with relatable subject matter results in a product that never feels cliche or forced - rather, listeners get a sense Noé is able to use her music to reflect on the ways her life choices have impacted her personal life. By taking lighthearted shots at herself, Noé is stepping deeper into her self-awareness and state of mindfulness.

Throughout "Puzzles", Noé teasingly instructs a suitor in the best techniques to capture and keep her attention, namely by not giving her "proper" attention or affection. The Paris-raised and LA-based artist would rather one plays games with her, as opposed to offering his heart on a silver platter. In other words, make the "relationship" an ongoing puzzle that must be pieced together over time. 

"Puzzles" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

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 - "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

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,
