Valee's new song "Awesome" is just that. The track, which features a guest appearance from the young Matt Ox, who we can't get enough of. Valee first caught our attention with his single "Womp Womp ft. Jeremih". The Chicago rapper's fresh style of rapping cannot be taken for granted. He has set a unique trend and has been imitated by many other rappers in the industry. His approach is fresh and we can't wait to hear what he drops next. Although the "Awesome" video does not feature Valee himself, it is still artistically inventive and is emphasizing his lyrics.
Born Valee Taylor in the Robert Taylor Homes, a high-rise housing project in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, he grew up all over the city’s South Side. As a kid, he was fascinated by taking stuff apart and learning how to put it back together; today, his approach to music seems to follow a similar ethos—an obsession with the mechanics of rap, and with figuring out new solutions to old problems. “If a lot of people say things one way, I gotta take it, twist it, mend it, and bend it in a way that feels fresh,” he says.
Sheck Wes's single "Mo Bamba" turned heads and likely shocked many. He uniquely sings holding long notes out with his almost obnoxious voice, that no doubt will get stuck in your head. Sheck brings raw energy and life out of his fans in his new single "Wanted" that was released November 5th. The title of the song says it all. The video captures his fans chasing him through the streets and subways of New York, hungry to get just a taste of his wild nature. His fans seem to love living life on the edge, even risking complications with cops. Sheck's energy is contagious and his songs make people unafraid to push boundaries and let lose. Sheck is definitely "Wanted" by his huge fan base and we are patiently waiting for how he will surprise us next.
Sheck grew up in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City and has gained very loyal fans from his hometown. Don't miss out on the hype Sheck Wes has created! We love that he is unafraid to take risks with his music. His lyrics maybe offensive to some, but he leaves his audience wanting more of his fuel and fire...

King Henry's tenth single "What about me" will take you on a wild ride. The song was released on Black Butter/Duke City on October 11th and is growing in plays and views. If you want to take a moment to escape, this video will do just that. The race cars gliding, stuntmen jumping off moving cars, combined with smooth dreamy vocals will take your minds for a spin.
Henry shares, "My aim with these new releases is to make songs that you can listen to late at night walking the streets of any big city but could also close your eyes and vibe at a dark nightclub somewhere."
Since relocating to LA from New Mexico at age 18, Grammy-nominated Henry has emerged as one of contemporary music’s most sought after producers, working closely with Diplo and Major Lazer, on tracks like the chart-topping ‘Cold Water’, and 'Know No Better', as well as ‘All Night’ from Beyoncé’s landmark album Lemonade, and ‘Nothing Without You’ from The Weeknd’s 'Starboy'. Recently he produced the LSD(Labrinth, Sia, Diplo) single 'Thunderclouds' and has just finished producing and co-writing the upcoming Sasha Sloan album.
Having originally trained in classical guitar, the musically gifted multi-instrumentalist will be joining Gorgon City in the U.S on their long run of dates this October- November.
Sudan Archives' "Nont for Sale" masterfully transforms her pain into an unwavering show of self-love. “Nont for Sale” begins with anxious, plucked violin and a no-nonsense directive: “You only call me/When you need something/I need to be free.” The song expertly showcases Sudan Archives’ voice, her chanted lyrics rise confidently above the jittery instrumentals as she continues to warn a toxic friend to back off.
The 23-year-old producer/vocalist Sudan Archives mixes Northeast African folk violin with electronic music, creating a complex web of sounds that includes percussive plucks, swooping orchestral strings, and looped beats. Signed to Stone Throw Records Sudan Archives is making her mark and bringing us into her expressive and vibrant world.

After catching the ear of Machine Gun Kelly + Kevin Lyman (creator of Warped Tour) during a sold out acoustic performance in Los Angeles in December of 2016, the upward spiral of multi- instrumentalist and songwriter tiLLie cannot be stopped. Her infectious songs might seep into your head but this self-proclaimed “anti-pop star” transcends the predisposed boundaries + limits of the genre with her diy + hands-all-over approach. With her collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly amassing over 250k plays, a run on Vans Warped Tour summer 2016 + a song on KUNGS’ (UMG) debut record, tiLLie’s takeover is only just beginning. The third single of a three part series, “Good Song”, is out now.

Danger Village has turned us on to another video from Baby FuzZ that has blown us away once again. If you haven't checked out his last video "Disneyland" which is the story of an open human / puppet relationship gone haywire, Baby FuzZ will definitely captivate your attention once again with his new song "Burial" which is crossing genre lines once again. In the video Baby FuzZ will take you on an emotional ride with his silky smooth vocals, grungy/gritty hooks, and powerful lyrics. The video stars a bad karaoke singer who gets electrocuted and magically transforms into a pop star. In a bizarre accident, the entire bar and its gritty patrons are relocated onto the set of a cheesy 90s music video. It's both a subtle dig at the corporate music industry and a tour de force of diy bravado.
The video shares some positive quotes telling viewers to believe in themselves, anything is possible, and that they should reach for their dreams. Baby FuzZ is the king of dynamism, and "Burial" definitely shows us the depth of the messages he shares in his music. "Burial" is chill, its rock, it's glam, it's everything you want for this Halloween season
The video was shot in Portland and directed by Nesto and includes cameos by a few Portlandia regs and by a members of Blitzen Trapper and White Fang.
