JURAKHAN has made his dark electronic hip hop debut with his FLNCH EP.

Posted on 28 June 2021

Indo-Caribbean alt-rap artist JURAKHAN has dropped his debut EP, FLNCH, the opening track, MAAR, is instrumentally visceral, raw and heavy enough to merit Pendulum comparisons, but when it comes to the rough and ready rap bars, fans of old school hip hop will appreciate the domineering grit.

If you could imagine what it would sound like if Insane Clown Posse started producing cyberpunk hip hop, you’ll get a good idea of what is on offer when you delve into this darkly arresting release orchestrated by the composer, rapper, producer and instrumentalist.

JURAKHAN’s sound may be dark and aggressive, but as an artist, he creates music that speaks to others for unification, activism and understanding. We can’t wait to see how he’ll use his platform and evolve his sound in 2021 and in years to come.

JURAKHAN’s EP is now available to stream via Spotify.

Alt Hip Hop artist All_Out_27 has dropped their galvanizing new mix “Spirited Bliss”

Spirited Bliss is just one of the recent releases from up and coming American Hip Hop artist All_Out_27. If you’re looking for fresh new galvanizing beats to add to your Summer playlists, look no further. Spirited Bliss comes with a tropic punch and keeps the tempo steady to ensure that easing into the accessibly melodic mix is as easy as possible while making sure that there’s enough momentum to keep you hooked from the prelude to the outro.

By fusing elements of Old School EDM into their alternative instrumental track, Spirited Bliss offered a euphoric punch but never veered all too far away from the hypnotically rhythmic realms of Hip Hop. The progressive mix is as transcendent as it is rhythmically convictive. There really is no wonder why so many people are giving it repeat attention.

Bobby Royale – Bare Knuckle Dance Move: Fiery-Fresh Exotically Danceable Hip Hop

Posted on 17 April 2020

Bobby Royale has dropped their most grooving, energetically blazing Hip Hop track to date with “Bare Knuckle Dance Move”. You’ll be hooked from the first entrancing notes in the Funk-soaked feat of exotically rhythmic Alt Hip Hop.

Bobby Royale’s bars effortlessly match the visceral super-charged energy which you’ll find in the instrumentals courtesy of the sun-soaked blasts of Sax around the inventively ingenious Hip Hop beats.

The up and coming artist certainly didn’t hold back on the experimentalism in Bare Knuckle Dance Move, but there’s absolutely no compromise to the accessibility. I’ve not been as excited by the beats in a Hip Hop track since I discovered That Handsome Devil. It has every potential to become a viral track.

EDM and Hip Hop Combine in Anisa Pashaj’s Viscerally Charged Second Single “Eyes”

Posted on 8 April 2020

Alt Hip Hop artist Anisa Pashaj has followed on from her unforgettable debut single “Ipray” with the equally as resounding single “Eyes”. The genre-mashing vocally-led urban mix is arrestive from the first note.

By using beats which would be just as at home in a Trance mix and a crystal clear production which gives Eyes a massive sound, the instrumentals alone are entrancing. But Eyes is all about the unapologetic attitude and candid lyricism.

While Anisa Pashaj’s debut single may have given us an idea of the extent of her dynamic vocal talent, Eyes is an arrestive testament to her ability to project sheer conviction through the lyrics which flow like spoken-word poetry.

There are very few up and coming artists putting out such connectable earworms, get her on your radar.
