Solo Star delivers deity-level hip hop in his single, ‘American God’

Posted on 22 July 2021
Solo Star

Ahead of the release of his highly anticipated 4-track EP, ‘The Ballad of Solo Star’, the up and coming artist has given us a taste of what’s to come by giving us a sneak peek of the lead track, American God.

Under the influence of Nas, Andre 3000, J.Cole, 2Pac and Jay-Z, Solo Star carries the same charismatic vocal magnetism. Instrumentally, he’s ascended to his own level and plateaued above most breaking artists. You can’t help getting hooked into the arrestingly rhythmic grooves in American God.

If you pride yourself on having the hottest names in hip hop on your playlists, you will want to make room for Solo Star.

Check out him out on SoundCloud and his website.

Rap Artist, Retro Pak Delivers Louisiana Flavour in Their Latest Single ‘Ohhhh I Like It’

Posted on 11 March 2021

If you like your Hip Hop served with high vibes and old school grooves, delve into Retro Pak’s standout single, ‘Ohhhh I Like It’. It’s packed with Louisiana flavour and brought to life by the artist’s motivation to bring infectiously energetic attitude to the airwaves.

Under the influence of 2Pac, Ludacris, Twista, and Missy Elliot, Retro Pak creates fresh tracks in which the roots of hip hop can blossom. Given that hip hop which flows with galvanising beats is more essential than ever, we can’t under-express how essential artists, such as Retro Pak are.

The track is perfectly paired with a music video which will throw you right back to when workout VHS tapes were all the rage. In the age of Tik Tok, that’s more refreshing than it should be.

You can check out the official video to Retro Pak’s latest single by heading over to YouTube.
