Matthew Cuban, Finnie Stax, J. Jones – Art of War
(Spotify)

“It is said that the song's title reflects its essence. With -Art of War- things are different. The output we get is an excellent opportunity to raise your mood and shake your body due to the poet and orator -Matthew Cuban-.”

“Говорят, что название песни отражает её сущность. С -Art of War- это не работает и на выходе мы получаем отличную возможность поднять своё настроение и раскачать свои динамики благодаря поэту и оратору -Matthew Cuban-.”

Jessie Spartano – Are You Mad?
(Spotify)

“Do you prefer Hip-Hop? If yes, this is far from the usual sound. Stunning vocal performance from a female artist who has the ability to shape the sound of her voice! Are you mad? Warning; This track is possible to drive you crazy.”

-Nagamag.com

Already drawing the attention of A&R's around the country for singles due to come out later this year, Jessie Spartano is starting to earn lofty comparisons being called "the female version of NF." Jessie wants to be a female representative for rappers that addresses deeper topics than some of her female rapping peers. This first song "Are You Mad," is doing exactly that. Mental health spans from anxiety, to self-hate, to suicidal thoughts. It can silently creep into so many of our lives. The best way to fight these so-often unaddressed killers is to bring these conversations and thought into the open. This is Jessie's attempt to do so in her life.

“The recitative, classical for hip-hop performers, sounds very fresh and bright in the new single -Don’t Wanna-. If your speakers can handle this fat bass, your collection will be replenished with another hit!”

IN THE RUN UP TO HER DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE TRUEMENDOUS UNVEILS THE VISUALS TO ‘YOU DON’T WANNA’, ALONGSIDE A SNEAK PEEK OF SINGLE ‘Y’

As fans eagerly anticipate the release of ‘Misdiagnosis of Chyvonne Johnson’ on the 1st April via High Focus Records, TrueMendous keeps up momentum with her third single release of the year, ‘You Don’t Wanna’. Churning the energy levels sky high, TrueMendous delivers an exhilarating record showcasing her dynamic and skippy flow. In harmony with her intricate flow patterns, the music video mirrors the pace through the changing backdrops and gradients.

Her impressive dexterity as a rapper is not only distinguished through her lyrical content, but also her ability to seamlessly rap over a multitude of different sounds. ‘You Don’t Wanna’ showcases powerful articulation and control, similar to her 2021 debut ‘Cause A Scene’. However, she is also able to demonstrate a soulful conscious rapping style seen in ‘Worst Child’.

Following on from the soulful and more rhythmic method of rapping TrueMendous surprises fans with a sneak peek of ‘Y’, which is teased at the end of the ‘You Don’t Wanna’ music video. The juxtaposition between both tracks exemplifies TrueMendous as an artist and her eclectic sound. Taken straight off the forthcoming album, ‘Y’ steers away from the fast paced levels of ‘You Don’t Wanna’ and sways towards a stripped back sound. Oozing with saxophone riffs, the slow pace is also reflected in the captivating visuals.

ROCHESTER – Perseverance

“Here comes the blast of Rochester. Not the typical Hip-Hop, but some short of teaching experience. Those lyrics of wisdom can give you back the lost courage to fight and overcome every obstacle in life. “Keep going”!”

Dupont Brass – Homecoming
(Spotify)

“-Homecoming- performed by -Dupont Brass- combines elements of Soul music and funk, where pronounced R&B and Hip-Hop draws an unpredictable rhythmic pattern, which makes the composition more energetic and memorable.”

“-Homecoming- в исполнении -Dupont Brass- сочетает в себе элементы Soul-музыки и фанка, где ярко выраженный R&B и Hip-Hop рисует непредсказуемый ритмический рисунок, что делает композицию более энергичной и запоминающейся.”

On “Homecoming” DuPont Brass takes us on a trip down memory lane. They set the mood over a bed of mellow, romantic R&B. The music is laced with a sentiment of love and desire - and while the singer is pursuing a long lost lover, he is ultimately looking to recapture so much more than that. The incomparable feeling of youth. The freedom of possibility. And the chance to have it all before we’re too old to enjoy it. Mixing horn ensembles is an art form in and of itself, and the work done here is akin to the Mona Lisa. But unlike Leonardo da Vinci’s work, there is no
doubt that this song will leave a smile on your face. The band brings the song home with a guitar solo that sings out - reminiscent of great R&B solos brought to us by the Isley Brothers. Take a listen and share with a friend - you will surely find that the love is contagious.

DuPont Brass is a unique, soulful, brass ensemble hailing from the D.C. Metropolitan Area. Originally composed of five music majors from Howard University trying to raise money for tuition during the Christmas season, they have now grown to a 8-piece ensemble consisting of brass, a rhythm section, and vocalists. Gaining popularity from playing at local Metro stations, DuPont Brass started out professionally playing for weddings, banquets, and other private events in the surrounding area. Thanks to the foundation laid in their earlier years, DuPont Brass has had the opportunity to perform in conjunction with the D.C. Jazz Festival and on the prestigious Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. Consistently touching the hearts of the community with their heartwarming testimony, DuPont Brass has been featured on WPFW's “Live at Five” three times and featured in the Washington Post Newspaper five times. Through their training in both classical and contemporary styles, the young group has developed a sound that mixes varied genres of music, including jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. Their latest release entitled Eclectic Soul is a testament to that sound. Overall, the mission of DuPont Brass is to uplift the spirits of people with their music, not just in the DMV area, but across the world.
