Edo. G & Insight Innovates – Choose Your Path
(Video)

“Grab this chance to experience a true Hip-Hop tune, made with care and original style. Rhymes packed with energy, selected lyrics and… scientific approach! Don’t waste time and prepare yourself for the ultimate; “Choose Your Path”.”

-Nagamag.com

Edo. G & Insight Innovates bring their meditative and jazzy single, “Choose Your Path,” to life in this new video that transports you to their hometown of Boston.

The track stems from the duo’s recently released self-titled album and it showcases exactly what you can expect from the entire project. You get one cut after another of expertly crafted rhymes from Edo and Insight, with the latter also providing every beautifully produced instrumental.

“Choose Your Path” is a welcome dose of timeless hip-hop from the Boston-based duo. And in this video that’s directed and edited by DoomDaWiz (for Wiz Craft Productions), Edo and Insight post up at the Boston Museum of Science’s Charles Hayden Planetarium. It makes for a slightly psychedelic viewing experience that suits the vibes from the two emcees.

Check out the visuals and head over to your preferred digital retailer or streaming platform to support the duo’s debut collab LP, Edo. G & Insight Innovates which is also available on vinyl and CD via Brick Records.

Sargeant X Comrade – Beautiful (Video)

Sargeant X Comrade – Beautiful
(Video)

“Essentially, a combination of art, music & poetry in a YouTube video format, Sargeant X Comrade, ‘Beautiful’ delivers a soulful & melodic lead vocal over a simple guitar scat chordal pattern, soft percussion that in parts is reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix ‘Little Wing’ There are some interesting vocal harmonies and drop-in’s that really enhance the track.”

-Nagamag.com

Another art video from the Lo fi soul group Sargeant X Comrade. Beautiful is an attempt at conveying the feeling of falling in love through a visual narrative. Taking the “falling” part literal the video blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Reminiscent of a painting done in a contemporary fashion using video techniques instead of the traditional oils and canvas, Beautiful by Sargeant X Comrade combines art, music and poetry into one.

“This is not your typical Hip-Hop sound, but one step beyond the basics tune. Not just one or two, but three artists joined in "Crime Scene 2.0". The result should be heard with caution, as it's likely to blow the mind and stimulate our brain. A sudden burn is about to appear from your speakers!”

"Crime Scene 2.0" is the follow-up to Mykii J's original "Crime Scene" released in 2020. This time, Mykii J, whose alter ego is X-Men's "Gambit," has recruited other "Mutants" like him, including Sooftheradiokid and Mimi A.K.A. The Kelly, to deliver a powerful, hard-hitting anthem that once again "kills" the noise from haters and nay-sayers.

Loxy & Ink – Manifested Visions (Video)

Loxy & Ink – Manifested Visions
(Video)

“A real old-school hip-hop track exists in the world, hitting its depth and performance. Soulful lyrics coupled with excellent performance, give the artistic impression of genuine sincerity. Real talent of pronounced sensuality.”

“Есть ещё в мире настоящий old-school hip-hop поражающий своей глубиной и исполнением. Душевная лирика в купе с превосходным исполнением создают впечатление неподдельной искренности исполнителя. Настоящий талант выраженный чувственностью.”

-Nagamag.com

Authenticity & Consistency, two key words that immediately come to mind when we’re talking about Loxy and Ink.
As music and creative culture at large hurtles towards an abyss of ‘likes’ as currency and vacuous validity, the job of musicians who stand for authenticity and consistency has become ever more important and it is at this juncture where Loxy and Ink become indispensable.

Two titans in UK breakbeat culture, Loxy & Ink were both present at the inception at the birth of UK dance music culture and continue to be torchbearers. One glance at the CV of both artists will show you everything you need to know. They were both residents & recording artists at three incredibly important clubs & record labels: Metalheadz at Blue Note, Speed at Mars Bar and Renegade Hardware at The End. These three clubs and associated labels are important to mention as they innovated, pushed and later came to define drum & bass culture. Loxy and Ink were, in part, responsible for that.
It’s not an accident that Loxy and Ink were linked to these behemoths. Between the aforementioned camps and our protagonists, there was a mutual understanding for the need to push the envelope and there was a shared love of reinterpreting musical genres- a free form approach to music that changed the landscape of what is possible creatively, Loxy & Ink have always implicitly understood this way of thinking and have exercised this thought process to this day via their own record labels, Cylon (Loxy) and Architecture (Ink).

Throughout their careers, as collaborators and individuals, Loxy & Ink continued to make and play music that connected with them on a deeper level rather than just for the sake of functionality, they both saw success as rappers and individually played and made music that stretched from dub techno to hip hop to house.
The journey outlined above, the understanding of cultural innovation and the pledge to authenticity & consistency as mentioned leads us to the Manifested Visions EP on R&S Records. A five-track release that traverses genres with ease, a release that speaks to Loxy & Ink’s love for collaboration- we’re presented with multiple vocal contributions from Tha Lion, Jody Lulati, Miriam Safo and Loxy & Ink themselves. Finnish producer Resound continues his long-standing production partnership with Loxy on ‘Give Me a Dubplate’. Genre wise we’re given hip hop, dubwise roots reggae and drum & bass.
R&S continues to show that it’s a force to be reckoned with by releasing this EP, a project that crosses countries as well as genres, a project from Loxy and Ink that feels like it was always going to come to pass since the pair found common ground way back when.

After considering all of this, it comes as no surprise that the EP is titled ‘Manifested Visions.’

Luke Kohen – This day was made for you
(Spotify)

“Minimalistic, sedative sound that gives greater integrity to this creation. Shocking background ambient synths and paralyzing vocals from -Luke Kohen-.”

“Минималистичное, седативное звучание, придаёт большую целостность этому творению. Глубокие ударные, фоновые эмбиент-синтезаторы и парализующий вокал -Luke Kohen-.”

-Nagamag.com

Luke Kohen has given us a wonderful gift to start out 2021 right.

His new single “This day was made for you” is for sure to become an anthem for thousands of entrepreneurs, artists and go-getters out there.

This is a “Crush your day” so you can crush your year kind of song.

Luke Kohen has a mastery in bringing super positive energy and messaging without being cliche, preachy or cheesy.

This neo-soul hip-hop fusion integrates smooth hooks, a dope beat, harmonies and raps that uplift your spirits. It will smooth out the wrinkles of 2020 and get your in the mood to rock your purpose.

Seriously. This song is the equivelent of benevolent bulletproof coffee mixed with tonic herbs for those dedicated to their mission.

Give yourself this gift. Start you day with this one.
