Raz Simone - "Make Love" (feat. Jay Park) (Video)


Less than a month after releasing his last album, Raz Simone has already announced his next project is set for liberation on February 14th. And if Still Love was Simone veering towards R&B vibes, then the first release off More Than Sex is a headfirst dive into the soulful, passionate crooning style.

With "Make Love", Raz reunites on wax with Jay Park to deliver an impassioned, poetic commentary on the often times ignored differentiation between fucking and making love. As he states on the new record, any two bodies can fuck - but it takes something different, a real connection, to come together and make love. Over the course of the More Than Sex single, Simone and Jay Park detail the type of emotional bond that's actually worth missin' joogs for. It goes beyond the purely physical act of sex/sexual release, existing in the invisible realm of energetic waves that bring two people together in the divine act - physical, emotional, spiritual and mental - of love.

"Make Love" is the perfect track to fire up as you prepare your Valentine's Day cards and, if it's any sign of what's to come, the upcoming More Than Sex might well serve as the ideal soundtrack to your February 14th.

As if we could expect anything less at this point, the accompanying visual - shot by Jacob Hill - is simply stunning, showcasing the slow build that culminates in a romantic evening between Raz and the subject of his prose. Featured between the storytelling shots, we see sharp clips of Simone and Jay Park delivering their vocals in front of picturesque landscapes.

Although More Than Sex drops on February 14th, fans can get their hands on the project early by subscribing to Simone's music service. In addition to early access to all future music, you also get free entry to his listening parties - including the gathering taking place on Sunday, February 10th. For more info, head to Raz's official store.

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.
