Denver, Colorado’s DD has unleashed his vibey hip hop earworm, Cruisin

Posted on 15 February 2022

The up and coming Denver-based hip hop artist DD (Dionne Taylor Jr) went full throttle in his vibey high-fire latest single, Cruisin, which pulls on his East Coast roots, making it an essential driving playlist staple for any fans of Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, and Method Man.

His MO of creating relatable hip hop that is always grounded in reality shines through in Cruisin, which shares a playful vignette of his life while embedding plenty of vocal hooks that create an earworm out of the urban hit. His zealous style is nothing short of infectious. Paired with the finesse in the production and the wit in the bars, he can officially call himself a triple threat.

The official music video for Cruisin premiered on January 28th; you can check it out for yourselves via YouTube.

Gunpoint Alibi deliver the evolution that alt-rock fans have been waiting for with their latest single, Bury Me

Posted on 23 January 2022

‘Bury Me’ is the latest fierce slice of alt-rock from the Denver, Colorado-based powerhouse Gunpoint Alibi. What started as a garage-punk cover band in 2019 evolved into a gnarly post-hardcore outfit complete with ensnaring high-octane instrumental hooks and harsh pop-punk vocals that fall away from the Hayley Williams mould (thank God!) into raucous new territory.

Morgan Elizabeth’s vocal confidence runs in parallel to the levels of conviction and dynamism; she could smash through a screamo track just as well as a Taylor Swift hit. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the infectious sense of playfulness she uses as she attacks the lyrics with her versatile vocal timbre. We can’t wait to hear how they follow on from this monster of an alt-rock evolution.

Bury Me is now available to stream on Spotify.

Fed Up: Excellent Denver pop artist Lolita grows tired of the fake intentions on ‘Sober Without Your Love’

Posted on 14 November 2021

Closing the door quickly behind her as that trying-to-fix-this-romance-mission is certainly in the rearview mirror, Lolita moves on so that she can start the healing process on the leaving-now new single ‘Sober Without Your Love‘.

Lolita is an indie alt-pop singer-songwriter from Denver, Colorado in the USA. A former student who graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelors Degree in Music Business and Entertainment Industry Studies, you feel her true connection to the mic – as her pure vocals shine a beautiful light – away from the all-too-common darkness of modern times.

”Her new single depicts the clarity that comes when the effects of cupid’s arrow have worn off. Lolita’s lyrics have an air of relief describing the pivotal moment when she realized that she’d been taking on the responsibility of mending her broken relationship; all the while her partner cruised on the assumption that she’d always be there, despite her partner’s lack of effort.” ~ Lolita

‘Sober Without Your Love‘ from the outstanding Denver, Colorado-based alt-pop solo artist Lolita, shows us a fiercely indie singer who performs with such a beautifully authentic vibe for us all to be completely immersed by. This is the story about waving goodbye to someone who was formally close to you – that stupidly took you for granted – as you now feel used, and so glad that this former love is now over. Keeping your valuable heart happy is the only mission now, in this swipe-quick and forget-fast type of world.

This is an impressive single from a determined singer-songwriter, who has brought us such a relatable track to truly love for its incredibly authentic quality.

Every decision matters: Landy V drops the realness with ‘Believing in my Lies’

Posted on 21 February 2021

Showing true honesty with a personal story, Landy V is back with her hot new track called ‘Believing in my Lies‘, which will have you thinking deeply about how powerful your words and actions really are.

Landy V is a compelling Denver, Colorado-based singer/rapper, who performs with that inner passion to improve each day, be real to herself and raps with such skill and sings with illuminating beauty. She makes that music that has you looking inside the deepest part of your soul, which tells you to brush out all self-doubts into the trash can, so you can be finally free and be yourself no matter what anyone else says about you. This is your life after all, no theirs to judge, just because they are unhappy with whatever choices has defined them.

This is the story about how she fell into the fad-life trap for a while, but managed to thankfully unshackle herself through meditation and working things out mentally through extra effort. This is a determined woman who realized that she didn’t want to be like everyone else and instead, is totally steadfast to looking into the mirror each day and being proud of who she is, without feeling herself too much and losing touch with her soul.

The fiery raps lead you into her studio as she flows like a real pro, her voice is sumptuous and you can’t help but cheer for this fighter who has risen from the dust, to be on the road that she wants, not where other leads her into the detours that make you a copycat fake.

‘Believing in my Lies‘ from the wildly talented Denver emcee Landy V, is a sensation track about how you can sometimes get a bit too deep underwater with trying to be too fresh, that you actually start sinking into yourself, with the stories that you start to actually believe. With the way commercial music is exaggerated to a scary level of falseness sometimes, its so refreshing to hear a rapper who is self-aware enough to take a step back, to get back to total reality again.

Life can have you spinning into worrying web around you due to social media and the way marketing is pushed into your face for breakfast each day. To take a breath and know who you really are, is absolutely priceless and can’t ever be bought.
