Sense Offence – Free Speech (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
(Video)

“The New Zealand rapper “Sense Offence” strikes in the scene, with his clever “Free Speech”. As its title reveals; it’s a fierce reaction against the destructive system, against a world that wants us to be speechless, silent and unable to use our mind. Words of deep meaning by a real artist.”

-Nagamag.com

This a bar-heavy rap written over a classic boom bap beat about the suppression of free speech (especially for artists) and the political polarization that is driving division and hate between people.

Sense Offence is a New Zealand hip-hop artist and genre fluid rapper.

His music covers topics such as mental health, drug addiction, relationship difficulties and suicide, tackling these heavy topics with a brutal realism about their realities balanced with a strong belief that recovery is possible and offering encouragement to anyone battling these demons to keep fighting.

He is an extremely versatile artist often incorporating elements from different genres and a highly technical rapper with a mastery of complex flow patterns, strong delivery, powerful story telling and intricate multi-syllabic rhyme schemes.

Determinology is the lead single of Good.To.Go’s new EP, “YOP”

Good.To.Go releases his new EP, ‘YOP’.

The album features appearances by Reggie Reare, Memnoc, and Devro.

“Good.To.Go returns with a new EP. The 1st of a string of EPs to carry out the remainder of 2021. This journey began in a time when the world was shut down. From LA to Palmdale to LA and back again, the sessions at Pay2Play Studio, forged new relationships, creativity and a hunger for some return-to-form lyrical hiphop. The EP is inspired and pays homage to the culture of Freestyling, Cypher and BoomBap style hiphop. The b2b tracks give shape to a nonstop musical world, to show the listener how a Good.To.Go show and session in the studio is. You hear a dope beat, you rap the first thing that comes to your mind. You either nail it in a few takes or move on. In the moment. Real.”

Milky – I Miss You Mum (Spotify)

Milky – I Miss You Mum
(Spotify)

“Big musical enjoyment coming from such a mental name. -I Miss You Mum- sounds so deep inside and also creates an ideal combination of sounds among themselves. Like an elite drink of balm, which you try with small sips and enjoy its taste.”

“Настоящее наслаждение музыкальным напиткам под таким душевным названием. -I Miss You Mum- звучит так глубоко внутри, что создаёт идеальную комбинацию и сочетание звуков между собой. Словно бальзам из элитного напитка, который вы пьёте маленькими глотками и наслаждаетесь его вкусом.”

-Nagamag.com

Up and coming rap artist Milky is using his unique musical talents to reach out to anyone who has lost a parent with his new, emotional debut song ‘I Miss You Mum’, releasing on Monday 7th June.

In his new track, Milky shares a heartfelt insight into life without his mum. His impactful lyrics describe the grief and pain that he has dealt with since losing her, but also the warmth and protection he has felt from her presence in difficult times, particularly during his recovery from a long-term battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

“I’ve always wanted to write a song for my mum after losing her when I was seven years old,” says Milky, “but I never even started until after I got out of rehab.

“Now I’m clean and sober, I’ve dealt with it for the first time in my life, emotionally. I didn’t get counseling when I was a kid and maybe I should have had that. My life spiraled out of control, I was pushed and pulled from pillar to post by family members. It was a hard time and all I wanted was that one person to give me a hug, and that was my mum.”

Milky is passionate about reaching out to people who have been through the same struggles as him. His eclectic and free-flowing style pairs perfectly with the range of stories he tells in his music, taking inspiration from the things he’s seen and the things he’s been through. He calls ‘I Miss You Mum’ the most powerful song he’s ever written.

“This song is for anyone that’s lost a parent, or someone close to them, that needed that guidance.” Says Milky.

“When your parents pass, they will always be with you everywhere you go and I know that now. I lost my dad as well when I was in rehab and I can feel him with me all the time, especially during the dark times when I’m alone. I can feel something there.

“This song has helped me turn negative to positive and I just want to let the world know about my mum and make her as proud as I possibly can. Through this song and this video, my mum will be seen.”

‘I Miss You Mum’ is out now through We Are Not Saints - a record label working exclusively with artists in recovery - and available on over 150 streaming platforms including Spotify, Itunes, Amazon Music, Youtube, and Deezer.

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.’
