Sol ChYld – “Eyes Toward The Sun (Album)”

Since the release of her well-received debut project, “For The Sol” in 2019, Camden, NJ-based recording artist Sol ChYld has begun to amass an East Coast fanbase, wooing crowds with her charismatic stage presence and heartfelt lyricism.  

Known for touching topics such as drug abuse, dropping out of school, love, and her experiences as an adolescent growing up in the gritty streets of Camden, Sol ChYld proves to be wise beyond her years in previously released tracks like “Hood Knowledge.”

Today, Sol ChYld returns to drop off her latest body of work, “Eyes Towards The Sun.” A captivating 9-track project, “ETTS” is a feel-good audible journey from start to finish. Features on the project include EndaStory, Cianni Abri, Jonny Cliffe, Arnetta Johnson, and appropriately, Camden rap heavyweight Mir Fontane. 

“What inspired “Eyes Towards The Sun ”, is my love/hate relationship with escapism. Being able to transport to another realm with daydreaming, music or simply creating. With this album, the intention is to provide the perceiver with that escape and kind of welcome them into my mind,” Sol ChYld shares with us.

Trust’N & Bkwds Fly High On New EP ‘Neverland’

Rising Wisconsin group Trust’N & Bkwds takes us on a magical journey to the well-known Neverland in the release of their new project. The five-song project combines different elements of Hip-Hop, Pop, and R&B, the artists showcase their versatility from beginning to end. And with the combination of elements with talented producers, like Milian Beats, Era Lake, and NextLane Beats. Over the crafty beats and blends, the duo address touches the topics of humble beginnings, heartbreak, and the lavish lifestyle their hard work has afforded them.

Trust’N & Bkwds on the project’s significance:

“Neverland is important because it brings a unique, self-crafted sound while still delivering musical elements as well as songwriting that meet the industry standard. After working on the project for two years, we are finally ready to share our art with the world. The EP is full of both happy and sad moments, capturing some of the emotions we felt during the pandemic. Coming from where we are from we never get the proper respect for what we’re doing because it’s never been a place for Hip-Hop artists to thrive.”

Entering music in Trust’N & Bkwds, the duo has always bet against the odds coming from an industry-less midwest city. Madison, Wisconsin has had a rough past with promoting hip-hop events, generally frowning upon organized Hip-Hop performances in the city. The latest EP follows the duo’s 2019 chart-topping EP, Lapse

Neverland is available now via Lost Boy Entertainment/Create Music Group.

2DaCore – “Yes Sir”

Finding yourself through the process of pursuing a passion combined with enjoying life to the fullest while overcoming big hurdles eventually leads to one’s true inner self and that journey is what 2DaCore is all about. 

She went on to train her voice (classical, soul, rock, extreme vocals and rap) with various coaches and professionals who passed on that sense of the mission and work ethic that every young artist needs learn in order to start their career. Hard as it may be, she managed to gain a Master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and passed the federal exam as a pharmacist while raising a son as a single Mom. 

Fighting to exist with no support, she proved all her detractors wrong. She chose to focus more and more on singing and writing her lyrics and has consistently improved her skills. The spectrum of her songs cover taboo topics, heart wrenching life situations which touch you deeply together with her party songs that make you forget the world around you.

Today we receive 2DaCore’s latest release in the form of “Yes Sir.” Stream the song below and be sure to follow her on Instagram here.

Lupe Fiasco Drops “The Pen and the Needlz” and “Ohh Oh”

Earlier this summer, Chicago wordsmith Lupe Fiasco dropped off his 8th studio album, DRILL MUSIC IN ZION. Now prepping his syllabus for his rap course at MIT, Lupe still found the time to lend his talents to the new 1st & 15th compilation EP Chill’s Spotlight 3, with “The Pen and the Needlz” and “Ohh Oh,” two songs from his vast archive. The two unearthed tracks hail from Lupe’s 2005 mixtape Fahrenheit 1/15, and provide an example of how he, even at the young age of 23, was already proving himself as a force to be reckoned with when it came to wordplay. In further throwback news, Lupe’s sophomore album, The Cool, just celebrated its 15th birthday this year, and officially received Platinum certification from the RIAA. He’s been performing the album in full in a string of tour dates, and still has a couple dates left in SF on 9/30 and LA on 10/1.

Rolling Loud Announces Rolling Loud Thailand 2023, Its First Festival in Asia

Starting as a single-day Miami festival and evolving into a global enterprise with events on multiple continents, the rise of Rolling Loud has been truly inspirational. Continuing its expansion with its first Asian festival, Rolling Loud officially announces Rolling Loud Thailand, coming in 2023. Rolling Loud Thailand promises multiple days worth of the biggest names in hip-hop, alongside some of the most exciting regional and local artists, in a picturesque and vibrant location. Complete with some of the best music, food, and weather that the world has to offer, Rolling Loud Thailand makes its debut in  April 2023.

Rolling Loud and top officials from Bangkok, including the Mayor of Pattaya,  will be introducing the event with a lavish presentation at CentralWorld Live in Bangkok. The event starts with a press conference, in which representatives from Rolling Loud and Thailand’s government highlight Rolling Loud’s rich history and how the World’s Largest Hip-Hop Festival plans to bring its signature spectacle to The Land of Smiles. The press conference will be followed by performances by several notable personalities from Thailand’s music scene, including Thaitanium, Young Ohm, 1mill, FIIXD and many more, plus American rapper Memphis Bleek.

“We’re proud and honored to have Thailand host our first festival in Asia. Rolling Loud has been looking to expand to Asia for a while, and we’re confident that Thailand is the perfect setting,” say Rolling Loud co-Founders and co-CEOs Matt Zingler & Tariq Cherif. “Our local partners are pulling out all the stops to make Thailand one of our most exciting events on any continent. We can’t wait to bring the amazing energy of Rolling Loud to the people of Thailand, and as always, showcase the best of the local rap scene.”

Rolling Loud continued its transformation into a worldwide operation in 2022, hosting five festivals in four countries this year alone. Just last weekend, Rolling Loud threw its first-ever Canadian festival, Rolling Loud Toronto, headlined by Future, WizKid, and Dave. Rolling Loud hosted its flagship Rolling Loud Miami festival in July, gathering the culture for one of the most exciting events of the year, featuring headlining performances from Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, and Future, plus special appearances from Ye and Travis Scott. Earlier in the summer, Rolling Loud made its European debut, hosting Rolling Loud Portugal and Rolling Loud x Woo Hah Fest, the brand’s first camping festival, in The Netherlands. Rolling Loud’s world tour continues in Queens, NYC on September 23rd with Rolling Loud New York, headlined by Nicki Minaj, A$AP Rocky, and Future, and continues in 2023 with Rolling Loud California at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.
