Sydmac caught our attention with their new single Math. This old school feel embraces bi coastal influences impressively. There are sonic sampled references to the west and the east coast. Their rap is equally unique, while the chorus amplifies that polar combination. Both Dre and Wu have a stake in this vibe. The lyricism delivers too. A rapid fire wordsmith, Sydmac will twist you into a pretzel with ruthless alliterations and clever rhyme play. It’s straight dope.
Math is just one flavor from a catchy growing catalog that includes bangers like the groovy bop Alive. The Brooklyn hip hop artist is a dynamic eclectic force. Don’t sleep on Sydmac.

Something incredible happens when Sorvina and jakohitsdifferent collaborate. Their new single Time is valid. The combination of hip hop and vintage soul recalls classic Lauryn Hill. It’s a reflection to the rap sections real rhetoric. It’s urban and candid but defies cliche.
Lyrically it explores the introverted romantic side of trivial hip hop cliches like getting high and getting lost in the flow of the city. The beat amplifies influences of jazz and vintage soul. It caps off with a cinematic skit that ties it all together. Time is brilliant.

From the first moments of Pray For You rapper Elijah Rich arrives like a revelator. His swagger rap style is full of dark intention. Pauses and breaks add a percussive musicality.

You know we can’t get enough of our home girl Alyssa Jane and every feature she gets into with producer SV. We’re in love with the new single All Nighter. The Philly neo soul pioneer knows no stylistic bounds. Her sultry twang is full of urban attitude and vibe rich flavor. SV provides a groovy backdrop that she navigates ruthlessly.
Trip Hop, Lofi, and alt R&B all have a stake in this vibe. Fading out under 3 minutes, it’s a moment that truly leaves you wanting more. Jane’s part unravels like a candid inspiration, fluttering and flowing until the fade like a poetic siren. Where she goes, we follow.
