Abstract Hip-Hop, Alternative | Phantom Phunk Release “Yayo”

Posted by on December 5, 2021

Phantom Phunk defies all boundaries and genres. The Florida based up-and-coming five piece have come together to form a sonically diverse and transcendent sound, reminiscent of the early days of Gorrilaz but with a more modern, crisper edge. Their new single “Yayo” bridges the gap between hip-hop and indie rock, gleefully using the best elements of both genres. This group is one to keep an eye in, enjoy “Yayo” above now!

Yayo’ is packed full of heavy, wurling synths and basslines, melodic flow and an energy that is undeniable. There’s a constant sense of chaos and intrigue, which is what makes this collective so interesting and vibrant. They say the track is about a ‘??A high stakes game of life or death’, and you can certainly hear at the forefront of the song from the off. It’s almost like the title track to a Tarantino movie, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the last second.

Abstract Hip-Hop, Chill, Hip-Hop | Drex Carter and Kkami Connect on THAW

Posted by on November 15, 2019

With stellar beats from Kkami and dope flows from Drex Carter, THAW is well worth listening to. The EP is a great introduction to both artists if you are unfamiliar with their prior music, while also showing a different side of each artist’s normal style. Drex’ approach is more laid back and less lyrical than his older music and Kkami’s hybrid instrumentals on this one lean a bit more in the indie scene compared to his older drops. Tune in above now. Also, be sure to check out a new video off the EP by clicking here.

Abstract Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Rap | Abhi The Nomad Brings the Slaps On ‘LOCK’

Posted by on November 2, 2018

Austin based artist Abhi The Nomad has had one hell of a year.  From releasing his debut album, “Marbled“, in February, to being granted his visa to stay in the US as a working musician, to taking off on his first headlining North American – American Alien Tour, to most recently releasing a string of stand out singles, Abhi The Nomad seems to really just be getting started.

While, “Marbled“, has already become an instant classic, racking up millions of plays and finding support from top tier tastemakers, Abhi The Nomad seems to have switched gears as of late – bringing things back to basics and releasing straight up bangers as the year winds down.  Today, he has just released his latest single, “LOCK“, featuring Foster Cazz & Schama Noel and it is a head knocking, gritty bomb.

Over a self-produced, grungy, electric guitar laden beat, Abhi and friends go in, spitting vicious bars and letting everyone know that there is no stopping them.  Always known to do things to the beat of his own drum, Abhi The Nomad crafts a hard-hitting slapper that brings an undeniable energy and braggadocios vibe, putting critics in their place once and for all.  With a promise of more singles on the horizon and a growing, rabid fanbase at his heels, I have no doubt that 2019 is going to be a huge year for the nomadic one.  Keep it LOCKed.
